o'clock on Saturday morning a fire broke out in Brunswick-
terrace, Brighton, in a house belonging to Philip Salomon,
Esq., Nigh Sheriff of Susie'. The house for the last few
weeks had been undergoing a thorough alteration, carpen-
ters and bricklayers bring engaged in it up to the time the
Sr. took place, and it is conjectured the fire must have ori-
ginated through some carelessness on their part. The house
where she Sic took place was No. 26. In consequence of
the want of a proper supply of water the fire obtained great
head, and when the engines were able to act, the efforts of
the firemen were directed to save the houses on each side, as
there wu no chance of saving that in which it had its
origin. It in calculated that the house was worth from
three to four thousand pounds; it was insured in the
Allis... Fimoeles.
