Ft= AT CAMBERWELL.—This morning, shortly
after ow o'clock, a firs was diesovered in a house adjoining
to, and wed as the offices of, Maws. Fleming's brewery,
ea Centherwelbgresa. An immediate alarm wee !given, but
in a few minutes the fire bad ecommunicated w the brewery
Well On the arrival of the parish engines, and the.. of the
West of England and other companies, the greater portion
of the brewery was found wrapped in flames, and three or
four of the houses on the Green were fiercely burning at the
basks, threatening destruction to the wkok range of pre-
miers on that quarter of the ground. The =Ow at the
Vauxhall water-works were immediately drawn, bat, unfor-
tunately, the quality of water which flood from the pipes
was found inadequate to feed so large a number of engines
as were wanted to sops with a firs of such immense =apti-
tude. The firemen, however, under the direction of Messrs.
Henderson, Connorton, and Garwood, the chief °E on of
the three bodies present, made the brat one of the limbs*
quantity of water at head, which they judiciously disof
bated over the burning mass; but, unfortunately, without
woduciug the least effect upon the violence of the

terrificelly at the time forced the flames in sundry
directions, which ignited the Mother Red Cap
Tavern, at the corner of the Green; the shop et Mr.
T. Kaff, next door ; and the butcher's shop of Mr. Green
Finding that It was impossible to extinguish the fire in the
brewery, the whole force of water was brought to bear upon
the latter-sand presakse. In less than two hours after
the ant deanery, every building 'cosseted with the brewery
was destroyed. The total lose mew amount to a sot-
eldwable sum; for, besides the total dastruation of
Moen. Fleming's brewery, the counting-bean is
scummed; the Red Cap, and the beck part of Mr.
Gress's premises are much injured ; the berm of Mr.
Deane (lobate) is toteliy destroyed, and ma imareopied
