DREADFUL FIRE.

An alarming fire broke out last night, at twelve
o'clock, in. Falcon-court, Fleet-street. It com-
menced in the attic story of the printing-house of
Mr. HAbIIITON, in consequence of a spatic acci-
dentally falling among some papers, and thence
spread with astonishing rapidity to the adjoining
houses. The court being very narrow, the engines
could only play upon the burning houses from Fleet-
street, on the one side, and the Inner Temple on the
other. It raged at one o'clock with astonishing fury,
but from the great exertions of the firemen, its rage
seemed to be a good deal subdued Uefore two.—lt
was impossible, however, from the situation of the
place to ascertain the extent of the damage up to
that time, but we should' fear the court was entirely
consumed. The terror of the inhabitants, in a
neighbourhood in which the houses are so close as to
form almost a solid mass, may be easily conceived.
Wnen this Paper went to press, the fire bad not
communicated to any of the houses in Fleet-street,
but though it Was considerably reduced, they ap-
peared to be in imminent danger. A.boy was run
over by an engine in the Temple, and was cerried
to the hospital In a very bad state. We did not
hear of any other personal injury.
