FIRE.—At half part eleven rk lag night a dreadful fire broke out in the is - miles • , 1 Mr. Swan, printer, No. 76, Fleet ft•eet. They a.e nnt immediately in the greet, but in a nit-row roar , which is not a thoroughfare, extending be, i d the weaern fide of Satiffiury-fquate and Crowil.c^ rt The fire broke out fuddenly, in a furious blaze, that illuminated the whole atmafp' - ere, for many miles round. The engines attended o ith their W., Il promptitude from all parts of L mdon and Wettn:ia (ler, but from the confined fitua ion of the place, and thenarrownefs of the avenue, they could not approach fufficiently near to play with efFeft upon the burning pile. The filmes, of courfe, gained rapi ly a-headi and extended themfelves to the neighb-m•ing build ings. The houfe adjoining that of Mr. Gillet, the printer, was completely daroyed, Ind that of Mr. Cove, the coal merchant, narrowly escaped a fimilar ; fate. On one fide, however, the engines could be brought into anion in the fqiiare, and, by their ac tivity, the fire was prevented from extending fur'her upon that fide. Mr. Gillet's honk was burned down about two years ago, and has been only rebuilt within there few months. It wan at the back n' Crown Court, where the paffsge was f• inacceil.ble to the engines, that the flames fpread with the hreatelt tury. By one o'clock the whole fide of Crown Court was in flames ; three houfes were entirely confumeel, and feveral damaged. Soon afterwards, however, the pipes were conveyed through the neighbouring houfes, particularly on the fide of Water lane, and the en gines began to play with confider abl • effea on the burning matter. 'The fupply of water was, however. rather fcanty. The whole neighbourhood prefenta ed a frightful feene. From the clofenefs of the houfes it was feared that the whole quarter between Water-lane and Salifbury-fquare, would be entirely confumed ; of courfe, all was terror and alarm, and every perfon in the neighbourhood endeavouring, to provide for their perfons and property. Mothers might be Peen running in every titration with their children; others were bufily employed in removins their property, throwing their beds and other furni ture out of the windows, or carrying it away. Fleet- Rreet was filled with goods of every defcription, piled promdcuoufly on the flag-way. St. Bride's church was alto opened as a depot for their fecurity. The 4th Regiment of London Volunteers, and fevered lother Corps, attended to preferve the property, and prevent pillage. It was four o'clock this morning before the fire was got completely under, and the number of houfes entirely confumed, or much delfrOyed, Arnow ted to 14. Several poor families have 141 their all; but the mutt material fuffererewere fame B r'k!ellers in London ;—one of Oleic gentlemen has lull between 7 and 8,0001. be ing uniioured. Thurfday fe'nnight, at a late hour, a fire broke out at the rear of the premifes of Mr. Wallis, rf Poolbeg tireet, Dublin, occalioned (it is fuppnfed) by an oven overheating ; and we ate lorry to learn, a want of a proper fripply of water p evened it front being immediately extinguished; tome I its. with a quantity of flour and bilcuit, were caniumed : the dwelling.houle and brewery adjoit.ing were providers. tidily pi cloyed.
