The Baltimore Fire was extinguished without any such a devastation as was indicated by the grape-vine telegraph of Friday night. We haven't space to devote to the names of streets and individuals. The main facts seem to be condensed within the limits of the following telegrams:

BALTIMORE, July 25.-The fire was under control at 2 o'clock P. M. The loss is estimated by several parties at $500,000. The loss falls principally on owners of dwellings. There were about a dozen business places destroyed, among them one sash and blind factory, a dress and cloak establishment, a fan goods and sewing machine store, cigar, paint and tailor shops, and one saloon and restaurant. Many of the houses on Clay street were frame and two-story brick buildings. The residences of A. S. Bell, proprietor of the Sun, John S. Hopkins, and Professor N. R. Smith, were saved by men with fire extinguishers. St. Alphonso's Church escaped, but the Orphan Asylum of St. Alphonso's School was almost entirely destroyed. The Cathedral escaped, but the valuable residences near it were destroyed. With the exception of those on Clay street, all the dwellings destroyed belonged to wealthy persons.

NEW YORK, July 25.-According to a dispatch to the Tribune the boundaries of the burned district are as follows: Howard street on the west, Lexington street on the south, Liberty street on the east, and Baltimore street on the north. The alleys running from Cathedral through to the corner of Liberty and Saratoga streets also form a portion of the eastern boundary. Clay street, where the fire first broke out, is half street and half alley, running parallel to Lexington street, between the latter and the next parallel street. The blocks at each corner of the district were only partially destroyed.

The gratifying announcement, which everybody will hope is true, is made that no loss of life resulted from burning or falling walls. It is reported that one poor woman fell dead in the street from excitement and alarm.
