DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN GLASGOW....— Yesterday
morning (says the Daily Mail of Monday) one of the most
destructive fires that Iles occurred here for a long period
bricks out in the Adelphi Dye. works, the property of
Messrs. Fleming, Watson, and Nairn. The premises are
situated very near the manufactor of Mr. Neil Thomson,
known as the Blinburn Mill, and the dye works of Mr. B.
F. M'Callum ; the three establist.ments forming, in fact, a
cluster of buildings which occupy the whole ground betwixt
Ahelphi and Govan streets in the one direction, and from
Elm-street to the Commercial-road in the other. The fire
was discovered about ten o'clock, when it was just bursting
forth in a building used as a store for finished and packed up
goods, which contained at the time a number of bales ready
for transmission, as also a quantity of loose yarn. The
men and engines arrived at the spot with laudable
prompitude. The flames had progressed with alarming
rapidity, and the aspect of affairs was such as to excite serious
apprehensions. All hope of caving the place where the
flames commenced was abandoned, and the main efforts of
the firemen were directed to p their extension. As
the store room was almost in the cr ntre of the block of build•
logs, this became a matter of much importance and difficulty.
By the admirable arrangements adopted under the direction
of the superintendent, and the exertions of the men, it was,
however, in great part accomplished. A building that stood
with its gable to the side-wall of the store-room, beMoging
to the same ownrts, and appropriated to nearly the same
purpose, and one belonging to Mr. Thompson, which
ran parallel to the second, have both become a prey to it.
The first contained a further quantity of yarn and a num-
ber of bales of madder-root; in the other there was some
machinery and • lot of miscellaneous articles. These
three plans have been entirely gutted, and scarcely
anything of their contents has been saved. Some goods be-
longing to Mr. liCCalluns, whose premises are on the other
side, have been destroyed, but none of his buildings are in
any degree injured. The fire raged with great vehemence
for several boon, but the supply of water was plentiful, and
the application of the men naremittirg, and about one
o'cloct was in a great degree subdued. One effect of this
unfortunate casualty will be to throw a great many hands
out of employment, as it will necessarily be a considerable
while tee the chief loins by the disaster will be in a condi-
tion to resume operations. The estimate of the damage oc-
casioned is large. We heard it computed at several thousand
pounds. We understand that Messrs. Fleming, Watson,
and Nairn are insured in the West of England-office.
WINDING EP OP RAILWAY AND JOINT STOCK
COMPANIES.—Tea GERMAN MINING COMPANY —A meet-
ing was held before the Master in Chancery Tinney on
Saturday. when it was resolved to take the necessary stem
for effecting a sale of the mines belonging to the company,
consisting of copper and quicksilver, in the kingdoms of
Bavaria, Prussia, and duchy of NUM. Owing to the re-
cent disturbed state of the continent, a sale of the property
could not be carried out with advantage. In order to re-
tain legal possession, the mines are continued in working at
a cost of 2501. per month, and the liabilities are estimated
by Mr. Norris, the official manager, at about 17,0001.,
against which the value of the property to be realised will
come in as assets under the act. The expenditure incurred
in working the mines exceeded, it appears, the monies
raised by issue of shares by 19,400/., of which 7,1391. was
advanced by the directors. A claim of the London and
Westminster Bank for 12,3601., objected to on the ground
that the directors had no power to borrow money under
the deed, has been allowed by the Master as prima
facie proved.---Kmaicaaw MINING COMPANY.— Yes
terday a meeting of the shareholder in this company was
held at the offices of Mr. Wryghte, the official manager
winding up its affairs, to consider what steps should be taken
with reference to the sale of the mine and its materials,
situated in Ireland, by Mr. Henry Crockford, who claims to
be its owner. After considerable discussion, a resolution put
by Mr. Wyld, M.P., was carried, to the effect, that imme-
diate proceedings should be taken on behalf of the estate to
resist the sale of the mine and to enforce payment of the
calls. _ . .
