GREAT FIRE IN THE CITY.

Thursday evenings fire of • very alarming description
broke out at Brook s Wharf, in the bonded warehouse.,
Upper Thames-street, hut, being early discovered and
clieckixi, the destruction of property, though of very con-
siderable magnitude, is vastly loss than at the outset it
was generally feared it would be. This extensive bonded
warehouse, is seven storeys high, with • frontage of about
150 feet, The second storey was filled almost entirely
with tea in chests, while in the others were silk, wool,
sacking, spirits, and other commodities of an inflammable
nature. At four o'clock Mr. Warner's employes locked
the premises, leaving everything as usual, and im-
mediately afterwards the customs officers put on their
locks they also having failed to observe any unusual
appearance. A few minutes past five o'clock a lad In the
employment of • cabman living in the neighbourhood
saw smoke Issuing from • window on the second storey.
lie instantly ran and told the fireman of the wharf, who,
upon examination, found that • huge portion of the con-
tents of the storey was on fire. A message was instantly
sent to the nearest station, and • large number of the
Metropolitan Fire Brigade were promptly on the spot,
under the command of Captain Shaw. Immediately upon
the arrival of the brigade it was seen that the tire had
taken a firm hold of the building, and that the utmost
that could be done would be to prevent its extension.
Immense crowds flocked to the neighbourhood, and craft
of every kind Jotted the Thames, filled with sightseers.
About eight o'clock the fire barely reached the roof, and,
as the materials fell which fed it, it shrank till even the
most persevering of sightseers began to find their curiosity
but indifferently gratified. The value of the property
stored in the numerous warehouses which stud the
neighbourhood Is immense, and, generally speaking, of •
more or less inflammable character, so that we have had
a very narrow escape Indeed (min a very extensive and
destructive conflagration. The loss is rarioutly estimated
at from £1011,01.10 to .CllO,OOO, but nothing en this point is
absolutely known, It is, at any rate, certain that the
building, which was a very substantial structure, and
had only been erected about seven )ears, is completely
gutted.
