DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. - Yesterday morning, soon after one o'clock, the horizon for a very considerable extent was illumined by the sudden burst of a body of fl...nes from the extensive timber and deal-yards belonging to 111 r. Vixen, in Little Queen.street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, immediately in the rear of the same houses which about a fortnight since were de. stroyed by fire. Scarcely had the alarm caused by so sudden a burst of flames taking place, when its appearance led all to believe that every house in Newton-street, behind the timber-yard, in a short time would be included in the burning pile. The watchmen, with the assistance of some passengers, burst open the gates of Mr. Viser's yard as quickly as possible, but from the intense glow of the flames they were only enabled to advance a few pacts. The parochial engines of St. GilWs and St. George's, Bloomsbury, and those of the united parishes of St. George the Martyr and Saint Andrew, Holborn, were the first on the spot in Little Queen-street, and fortunately plenty of water being obtained from the main plugs, the IOACTI of the engines were put in' full requisit'ol, but the *tines extended with awfully devastating effect, and were apparently not in the least checked. The fire-engines belong ing to every office in town were quickly in the vicinity, placed in the best points in Newton-street, Holborn, and Little Queen street, and a great body of water wu thrown upon the fire from wary directions ; the firemen advanced with great intre pidity into the timber-yard, which in all parts was in flames, each pile of timber burning with astonishing rapidity, and the flames produced a spectacle fearfully grand. About half past one o'clock the devouring element communicated to the premises that surrounded the yard. At half.past two the flames seemed to receive new vigour, and the spacious premises of Messrs. Bentley and Wood, drug grinders, became included in the general ruin. The warehouses and machinery were in flames, and such were the dreadful appearances of the conflagration, that under the full impression all the houses around would be de 'Toyed, the inhabitants commenced removing their goods and fur niture, and the streets became choaked up with piles of goods; and strong bodies of patrol were stationed to keep off the immense throng, and to protect the property. At three o'clock the pre mises on fire were those of Mr. Virer, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Gosnell, printer, Messrs. Bentley and Wood, and Messrs. Scales and Co. the coachmakera in Ilolborn. The flames continued to spread their devastating effects till six o'clock, burning with inconceivable rapidity, and threatening destruction to the neighbourhood. By nine o'clock the fire was completely subdued. I% e understand that most of the sufferers are insured to the full amount of their low. The scene of devastation was awful at three o'clock, at which period nearly the whole of the interior of the quadrangle, formed by Little Queen-street, Holborn, Newton-street, and Parker's lane, presented one vast volume of flame. It was seen to great advantage through the ruins of the former fire, which contributed to heighten its appalling effect. A survey of the ruins will show the devastation to have been immense. h included the total loos of the Ipowerful machinery of .Messrs. Bentley and Wood, which contained a 20-horse power steam-engine, and all the apparatus - for di grinding: the ho- - used by them I
