DREADFUL FIRE.
DESTRUCTION OF COVENT-G MI
DEN THEATRE.
W e have i’-vs day the painful task of re
cur ling.one (if the most dreadful conflagra*-.
noils which has occurred , in the Metropolis
tor several years. About four o’clock yes
terday morning a Fire was discovered ih 4
Covent garth n theatte, which raged witiij-o
vouch liiry, ttinr in t!ie rein s • of nbo-at s houvs
the while of that extensive edifice was
destroyed.' The flame knife re so rapid, that
scarcely u-iy of the proiierty within the The
atre con !«l lie saved. The. books of accounts,
Weds, ami the cash in the Treasury, were
I i.n-tiinn tpy preserved through the exertions
| of Mr Hughes, the'Wgasttrer. A trifling
part nf the scenery was «.i*o saved ; but
i tlte whole of the wardrobe was destroyed.
it unfortunately happened, that on the
preceding day, in consequence of some com
plaints respeciing an irregular supply of
w.t er, tin; main had been t ut off, with the «’ . #
m enlion of laying; down a new one. Fran. V
■ ihiscivcums;once, the supply of water was *
for some time %ery scanty, and the engines
we’ e no ib>e to fcot with effect. The flames
in the mean time extended their ravages.—
1 he wind being westerly, blew them in a
ditVrr.i'n towards Bow-street, and for a
short time there was so liri.sk a hreeze, that
the inh.iUitunts on the opposite side of t)i«
street, (Mid tiic coorth leading into it, began
to entertain great fears for the safety, of
iheir pro’ « *ty. Fortunately, however, the
win.I ,oon abated lhit it took a contrary
direction—intend' of the opposite side of
Bow-street, the .inhabitants of Mart-street
were then threatened with destruction.—
By til s change ot the wind, the Ship pub
: lic-lu a-.e. the corner <>r II irt-street, in Bow
i sin "t, was aTe.1, notwithstanding the fire
i raged with the u; nrtst violenre on each
