FIRE AT PORTARLINGION.—About two o'clock on
the morning of Wednesday, the cry of " fire" startled the
inhabitants of Portarlington. The whole of Mr. Youell's
extensive range of out offices, which had been tilled with
wine, spirits, tallow, sugar, and all sorts of inflammable
materials, were enveloped in one hissing sheet of flame.
The townspeople assembled in considerable numbers.
Several attempts were made to subdue the tire ; but each
exertion seemed but to increase its fury. Now serious
fears were entertained for the safety of the dwelling-house
(to which the offices were attached), the destruction of
which for some time appeared inevitable. The doors were
torn off the hinges, and the furniture and shop goods
thrown into the public street. Mr. Des Voeux, J.P., who
was most unremitting in his exertions on the occasion,
humanely opened his house, which is at the oppoeite aide
of the street, and thither, under the care of tho police,
property to the amount of several hundred pounds
was conveyed. The tire was still increasing every minute,
when a hogshead of sugar, that was in the store adjoin-
ing the shop, exoloded with a report like that of a cannon,
a large portion of the walls tottered and fell ; and thus, by
the interposition of Providence, the dwelling was (compara-
tively speaking) saved; as, from that moment, the flames
began to subside, and by 6 o'clock all danger was at an
end. The out-offices are, however, a mass of smoking ruins,
and the house itself a regular wreck. The loss of property
is estimated at three thousand pounds. It is said the pre-
mises were only insured for half that sum. Although
. several people received scratches, bruises, and severe falls,
fortunately no person was seriously hurt. The fire was
accidental—it originated in the ehandling.house, through
the negligence of a man who had been employed running
candles there to a late hour the previous evening.—Leinster
