of the name of Crampton—both married, with large ft.
—were standing some distance from the spot, directing theA,
water upon the flames, and before they had time to run
away same tons weight of red hot bricks fell upon them,
and they instantly became buried in the smoking debris.
Some of their more fortunate comrades immediately ran
to their rescue, but the bricks were so hot that as they lifted
them the skin from their hands stuck to them. Neverthe-
less they kept to their work, hoping to save both men. One
poor fellow was, after some time, got out, when it was
found that his head was battered in, his helmet shrivelled,
and his brain, it is asserted by those who pulled him out,
was actually smoking on some of the hot bricks. Wilson
was the second man rescued, and he gave two or three
groans, which led some to believe that he might recover.
Both were quickly conveyed to the London Hospital, but
within a quarter of an hour after admission they were pro-
nounced dead.
Several other firemen, including Mr. Fogo, the foreman,
and Mr. Jones, of the West of England engine, narrowly es-
caped receiving a similar fate.
Those firemen who were not engaged in rescuing the men
buried in the ruins kept pouring some tons of water mo-
mentarily on the blazing premises; but owing to the vast
in the place, the fire rose so high
perfectly light, the reflection could

short of the destruction of every building near could be ex-
pected. The firemen, however, did not relax in their exer-
tions,finally, between eleven and twelve, they got the
complete and,
mastery over the fire, hut not until the whole of
the valuable stock in trade was consumed, and all that re-
mained of the building was the eastern wall, which repeat-
edly gave indications of falling.
A woman has made her appearance at the fire, and she
,
seems positive that her husband, who worked in the lower
me
warehouse, has perished, with se other workmen, but
nothing positive can yet be learnea.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The firm is stated to
be partially insured.
LATEST PARTICULAES.—IIALF•PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK.
From personal inquiries just made by the reporter, we
can state positively that the whole of the men who were em-
ployed on the premises had happily succeeded in effecting a
safe retreat before the fire had gained any considerable head.
The managers of the firm having called all hands together,
none were found to be missing.

The Arabian screw steamer, which was towed in a

on Friday, it was found they were out of order, and she
could not make way. Being taken in hand again by the
dockyard people, they worked all night on her, and yes-
terday she left port at half-past two PM. She had
hardly, however, reached seven miles on her homeward
trip before she made signals for assistance, and they be-
ing reported to Admiral Harvey he ordered the Medina
to get up her fires and assist. This she did, and at eight
o'clock towed her in. Her machinery, just repaired, is
gone. What with her salvage, her repairs, and other
expenses, the Arabian's present voyage will be very ex-

SHEERNESS, T lILY 15,—Her hiajesty's iron screw
steam-troop ship Megaara, Commander John Johnson,
will be under the bands of the dockyard for several
weeks. A party of men from the Woolwich factory are
employed in repairing her boilers. Daring her late pas-
sage from the Cape of Good Hope she steered badly;
some alterations in the form of her rudder are to be
made to remedy that defect.

The middle dock of the fitting basin is ordered to be
