top, and aftre o'clock it presented the appearance of splendid
beatatf; ilk larks shooting forth brilliantly from the windows on
all tido, and mounting far above the roof. Several engines were
speedily oef 'the spot, but owing to the insulated nature of the
place, together with the Immense height of the building it-
self, they were nrifible to render any effectual aid in arrest-
ing the progress of the destroying element. From the eon.

fears were ertertained foe the safety of the surrounding premises,

maestri in preventing the :urther extension of a calamity so much
dreaded ; but theiremubined efrois could not subdue the flames in
the engine house itself, which was nearly consumed at ten o'clock.
Therein no means of accounting for the manner in which it origi..
:toted, as there had been no fires lighted in that part of the concern
since Tuesday evening. The fwisperty, we learned, was insured
to the amount of 11,1051. in the Norwich and for the same
rum in the Alliance. At present it le impossible to calculate the
extent of the damage sustained. It was distinctly visible from all
the bridges, from Surrey-street in the Strand, and at every point

fortunately no personal injury was sustained.
