GREAT Fran IN EDINBURGH, ON 2111 Lzrru-
wALx --On Bentley evening, between seven and eight
o'el ek, a fire broke out in the emissive establidnunt of
Mesas. J. and It. Haines and Co., wholesale druggists,
Smith's-place, Leith walk. which has involved the destruc-
tion of property to a great amount. The premises consist
of two ranges et warehouses, built of norm, three storeys
in Might, which form two sides of a *quern The elegant

mid re preermes meths establishment This building is the
last hews la limit's place, and has a direct 0010ZDUnie&-
tias with the warthogs's. There is a court-yard in the
ware, of 1011118 =teat. On the discovery of the fir. an im-

The flame Warm with great fury from the ground floor of
the wrmehowese at the smith-east corner of the building,
which prirmigelly esrmakted dry powders, such as

Shanty after nine &sleek the fire attained is,
prosiest height, the entire range of warehouse on
the south, thus storeys high, and reteadiag about
sixty feet in length, being one mass of flan... Two
engines were in operation in Smith's place, and two in the
yard of Messrs. Morton, sgrieultursl implement and ma-
ebine-maken, situated at the hack of the burning premien.
Their combined ouratioa failed fora length of time to elPek
the progress of the flames, which shot up with a lurid glare
to a great height. The sky was illuminated to • great
distance azonad, and attracted crowds of spectators from
every quarter. It wee calculated that from 10.000 to
15,000 persons wen at one time assembled is Leith-walk ;
while the COtambill, aad other plans overlooking the confla-
gration, were oleo thronged. The fire was get under by shortly
after 12 o'clock. The destruction of
_property of every kind
is very swims, amounting, acoordthe to one estimate,
to about 20,0001. We -believe, however, that the
loos Is at least 10,0001. or 12,0001., and that only one
bolt is covered by insuraace. From the intent of the busi-
aess of Minn. Raises, the conflagration mug be felt as •
mina calanalty.—Abridged from Hes Edistorgle Coltrane.
