The rest contained almost all the black fruit and figs that remained in first hands
here , about two millions of dollars worth of oil and butter , and an immense quantity of tobacco , cavear , tallow , rice , and corn . The whole damage being estimated at five millions of dollars . The fire was stopped at the grand customhouse , the tobacco custom-house having been reduced to ashes . Fortunately the fire did not enter the Carshoe , although it burnt several shops on the outside of it . Before the fire happened it was said government intended to build a fine dock for shipping here , on the plan of the one at Toulon—but it has not since been talked of .
