PATRICK STREET RAZED.
(Recoived Itecembor 13th, 8.35 p.m.) LONDON, December 13. It is etill* "impossible to assess the damage at Cork, but the destruction includes some of tliq most imposing blocks in tho city. The entire area of Patrick street for a quarter of a mile, and a depth of one hundred yards, was razod to the ground. Military now control the streets. Pickets, with machineguns, are stationed at the principal points. This has been done at the request of the townsfolk. Tho most hopeful factor is tho pronouncement by Bishop Cohalan that ho will excommunicato any persons'participating in ambushes. An authoritative act like this might restore peace, which the people ardently desire.
