Cad and Newcastle, destroying property to the value of
ITN converting a large area of warehouses (filled with sulphur,
rtrate of soda, peat charcoal, and other highly combustible
()Tres), whole stacks of offices, houses, &c., into a perfect volcano
' fierce, concentrated, incinerating, and long-enduring furnace
htlt. in which not onl combustible things, ut even bricks,
.ones, and iron were burnt up and fused. Safebs of the ordinary
lind, iron-doored strong rooms, were alike melted, torn asunder,

serving our books, bills, and other valuable documents, although
~'ege safes were exposed for about nine or ten hours to an im-
mense heat, and dug out of the ruins in a red-liot state. On
:Pening them we found our rincipal books and bills in a good
''‘ateof preservation. Some 01 the papers were singed and
coloureddis-

TtPoses they were intended for. We feel it our duty to state
ti• ese facts, and will thank you to make us new safes to specifica-
