J. Purdy, one of the best and most prominent Democrats in this State, died -this morning. Horace a review of the situation, says: That Oakey Hall has embezzled public money and converted it to his own use has not been proved, but still, for signing bills fraudulent on their face, he thinks he ought to resign. I have seen no evidence that Peter B. Sweeney is a public plunderer: rather more so is Judge Hilton.

My judgment as to Tweed is very different. I cannot but believe that a good share of the million paid out of the treasury on his order on immensely exaggerated or utterly fraudulent bills of Inger-8oll, Garvey, Keyeer, Schuyler, Smith, have wound their devious way into his pocket, and been employed to defray his enormous expenditures at Albany and this city and1" elsewhere, and add block after block to his ever growing possessions.

At this hour the hre has made a clean sweep from Van Buren street north two blocks to Adams', and west to Clinton, three blocks from the river. The wharves between Van Buren and Jackson streets are burning, and the wood work to the western approach of the Adams' street bridge is entirely destro3'- ed.

A large coal yard containing a thousand tons of soft coal, and situated between the tracks of the Chicago Alton and Pitt9burg Ft. Wayne Railroad and the river, is on firo and burning liercelr. The immense grain elevator of Vincent, Nelson one of the finest in the city, is immediately adjoining, and though intended to be lire proof, there seems little doubt that it will be destroyed. Later 1:30 a. m.

The fire is apparently larger, ahd unabated as ever. A block of buildings on the north side of Van Buren street, which it was thought an hour ago would be saved, are now wrapped in flames. The elevator is safe, so far, and the fire seems to be spreading south and west, notwithstanding the wind is directly is the south and blowiDg hard. The entire fire deparment are now on the ground and making almost superhuman efforts to stay the flames. The losses, probably.already run into millions, and the end is not yet.
