A CHURCH AT HIRNE-HILL DESTROYED EY
FIRE

On Saturday evening a fire took place in the
recently freaked building, termed St. Paul's Church., situate'
at Hernrhill, Dulwich, of which the Rev. Matthew '
Anderson is the incumbent. We regret to state that it reo
suited in the entire destruction of that sacred edifice, with
the exception of the lofty staple and the vestry. It sp-
ears that, according to custom, the fires were lighted on
Saturday afternoon, far the purpose of luting the night out,
Ice order to warm the building for divine service the next
morning. About two o'clock in the afternoon of it
was found that one of the hot-air fines had, owing to thela-
tense heat, become ignited, but those in charge of the
church imagined they bad succeeded in 'elfin the
soot extinguished. lf they did so, it is certain that acne
the timbers running at the side or under tie fin* had
become ignited. The church was over 100 feet
brag, 60 feet wide, and probably 80 fat high.
As the water poured off the premises after being pumped
Oven the engines, owing to the intensity a the dna, it b-
came frozen, and formed long icicles on the firemen's imbsses
sod clothing ; this, with the lurid glare shining upon the
seam, had a most singular effect. At length, however, the
fire was so far got under uto allay all fears of say further
ex.ension of mischief, but it wee not entirely subdued meta
an advanced haw yesterday morning tSunday).
