—Yesterday two tires broke out in London, which were not
subdued until property valued at several thousand pounds
'wee totally consumed. TM first fin occurred shortly b.,
fore three o'clock in the Wesleyan Chapel, Lie -road,
Islington. A policeman, seeing smoke issuing from the
upper windows, raised an alarm, and aroused the chapel
keepers who were deepinj, in the house adjoining the vestry.
Tkst bad hardly been aocomplbhed when huge sheets of
flame burst through the front and side windows, and
is became apparent that the chapel was doomed to
destruction ; great fears b..iog, at the same time en.
tertained fur the salty of the house in Burt.rd-ter-
race end Burford-strut immediately contiguous. In the

course of a few minutes the Royal Societv's fire escape ar-
rived, but the smoke was so dense that it was with difficulty
Ike adjoinittx houses could be entered. The conductor of
the escape, however, placed his machine *gran the house
nearest the chapel, and having mounted the same he entered
the building: end succeeded in brieglog two children down
is safety. Two parish engines with ten belonging to the
London establishment and those of the West of England and
County Insurance Companies soon arrived. When they did
so the greater portion of the body of the building presented
me immense sheet of dame; notwithstanding the great body
of water that was scattered over the flames they appeared to
defy the exertioes of all present, and very 'perdue the root fell
in with • ark. For 'minute or two it had the effect of damp-
lag the *gear of the flues, but they won burst forth

great danger to which the school and vestry were exposed,
had the hose from several of the engines conveyed to
ass rear of the chapel, and by scattering the water upon
I them, and on the bons u in Burford. street and tenses, they
were not wholly destroyed, although exteosively in and by
fire. Two engineers, John Scott and Thos. Loder, who
were so employed, nearly perished to the tire. By seven
the firemen succeeded in getting the tire out, has' not
before the chapel, which was one of the largest in London,
and termed the head plate of worship in the sircuit, was
totally destroyed. Tee estimated Ica is understood to be
about 6,0001. The fitting., valued at another 1,0001., are
also destroyed. The following is the official report of

Adelphi Theatre, that popular place of amusement, as well
an the surrounding buildings, appeared likely to suffer. In
a brief period 12 brigade engines, with thine of the County

ground floor and the whole of the staircase as well as the
Shooting gallery of Mr. Stocker, were id a blase. The en.
