Irwin and Keep, coachanakers, in Mary•le-ht une-street, adjoining the back premises of Sir It. Russell, who bad a large company at a ball and supper at the cline. As soon Its the event was ascertained, the company consistent; of about in Noblemen anti Gentlemen most laudably joined their t fl'orts in working the engiees, &c. while the ladies entered the carriages without regard to to nership or any thing else. On the flames extentlin4 to Sir H. tiussell's stables, the gentlemen conveyed his most valuable property to the bonze of a friend opposite. We regret to state, that the whole of the premises of Messrs. lrwiu and Keep were destroyed. and a valuable stock consumed. Eight new carriages were destroyed, finished, as also IR which were building. The turpentine, varnish, .tic. adding greatly to the conflagration. Als w carriages and a small part of the house hold fermi itre were saved. The workshops behind, Mr. Nixon's, the brush-maker, and Mr. Masons, the ironmonger, in At aryle ininne-street, and several other houses are damaged. Messrs. Irwin anti Keep had two houses in the same street, over the coach warehouses, one of them, which is attached to homes in tVirtionle-street, is entirely destroyed. A piece of the tim ber fell upon a man, and lie was taken lip senseless, carried to the hospital, and is stated to be since dead.—The lire was urea. al by a kettle of varnish boiling over. About three o'clock on Wednesday morning, a fire broke ant at the Plough Inn, Clapham, which spread itself from the taproom upwards with such rapiditn as scarcely to give time for the escape of the initiates. Two or three gentlemen, who had taken up their abode at the ion for the night, narrowly escaped. One of them, in bed up two pair of stairs, finding his retreat cut off by the staircase being on fire, called for assistance from his bedroom window, and fortunately a I Oder was brought hint, and he was saved from destruction. A Mr. I. was placed in a still more perilous situation ; he slept in the one pair, and in the contnsion which look place the people of the house forgot to awake him. At length he was roused by the crackling noise of the tire underneath his teed, which heat first supposed to be rain violently driven against the windows; but immediately being annoyed by the smoke, he rushed out of the room with part of his clothes in his hand, and was just in time to save his life. The family allow the same time were apprised of their daager ; and as the landlord had eight or nine children, it required great exertion and considtrable risk to preserve We lives of all, in which, however, he fortunately succeeded. The fire, being aided by the spirits, raged with elicit fury as to resistevcry efiort to get it under, until the whole premises were consumed. What adds to the calamity is, the innkeeper in the hurry of business had omitted to renew the insurance of his property as usual, and is therefore left in a destitute situation, with a wife and a numerous family. Se veral adjoining, buildings would probably have shared the same fate, had it nut been for a prompt anti ample supply of water. DIET).
