DREADFUL Ft az:—Oa Montloy afternoon Atom five
o'clock, an alartutog lire was discovered to have taken
place in the house of Mr Archer, Venenan bliod-ina-
milacturer, el Oil Round-court, Strand, which threw
the whole urighourhood into considerable alarm. The
fire, it is said, originated in consequence of a pot full of
varnish bothng over, thiough which the chimney canglit
fire, and in the coarse of a short time the flames made
their way through the walls, which were not of the
most substantial description. The immense body of
smoke which al first made its appearauce ill the ['Villa-
meta finetuitle the greatest devastatimi, and the flames
very soon mad: their appearance. Several engines %volt
firemen arrived on the spot shortly afler the alarm W3S
made, and there Wai a plentiful supply or water, but
the confined nature of the nettutbourhood %%heir the fire
broke out rendered it very ion .mvenielit .or the ti:eitteit
to adjust the plies, ice. In Atom half all hour aher the
commencement of the fife the engines played with great
activity tot the house of Mr. Atelier, which was I,urn-
itu rapidly; and the Gaines had conitomocated them-
advt.' to four or live of the surrounding houses, and
much fear was entertained for the s.tietv of those in
Castle and Bound coons. The liiltabitalit; were busily
engaged in rt allot II g their furniture from the premises,
and the scene depicted dist of the greatest distress, and
it was found necessary at Ism fall to calf 1111)11 the soldiers
at tile Mime Wards for their attendance. Tile crowd
was so s cry great that the Sir mil tt as completely blocked

tile toners, were complehly gutted, attil die whole of the

By pipe tt'clock tile progress of ilie flames was not only

beyond computation. °Alt in some parts are literally
thrashed. Turnips and potatoes were severally washed,
and the crops much damaged by the hail. For hours
after the storm the level lawn were white, and had the
appearance of hating been newly and thoroughly limed;
while on the lands with a declivity the hail was run into
htapt, and the ti2lels seemed covered with hundreds of
carts of lithe, or rather of two or three carts emptied into
one heap. During the storm a tree was struck at Car-
