They were then unapprized of the War, but the event was expeded. The markets were getting better. Thii morning about one o'clock a dreadful fire broke out in Oxford -street, at the premises of a Manufadurer of Agricultural Implements, nearly opposite Hanway-street, which raged with great fury for some time before a sufficient supply of water could be obtained. The neighbourhood were in the greatest alarm, but happily plenty of water having been procured, the flames were got under between four and five. The Premises where the fire broke out were destroyed, together with an adjoining house in front. What is chiefly to be lamented rs, that the flames spread backwafds, into a Court in habited principally by poor people, sfliere, consi. derable damage was done. bt•tih , r, Alia. 4: , WE have the pleasure stilt to innounee The re.
