DVATKIICTIVI YIKE tie BELYABT.—On the morning 01
th- 23rd, the meat destructive lira that has occurred in Hui-
foot for many years, broke out on the premises of Maim
Ferrier end silk mercer*, Donegal.place. The coestahle
on the h. at obs'erved a dense of smoke inning friars
the di ors end window', a short time before two o'clock, and
imm ohately gave toe alarm. Before the engines were
the gr .and. the flames hod burst forth, and were raging
farina ly. They speedily communic ded to the adjoining
buildings all of which, turning a portion of tine of the finest
ranges in fl. Hest, were quickly so entire masa of flame.
The ilestruesion of proper y is very lupe, calculated at from
10,0001. to 120001. Great d. lav took place before a supply
ot water could be procured—fully an hour, it is acted ; cud
ev. a then the supply was v ry deficient. The heat was se
intense that it was imp-mine to approach within 30 or 40
!aids of the burning pile,; and tl.e 'hotter+ on the opposite
cite u the %wet, one f the broadest in Europe, were blis-
tered tor 100 yards up 'oil dowu. Seri ral persons received
revere brisiecs. but none appear to be seriously hurt. How
the flee originced is unknown, as everything appeared safe
when the premises were locked up at a late hour on Satur-
day night.
