GREAT FIRE AT MESSRS. CLOIVES.
About ten minutes after one yesterday afternoon
very extensive fire broke out in the well-known printing'
premises of Messrs. Cloves and Son, situate iu Duke.:
street, Stamford-street, Bkekfriare-road, and which en-
tirely destroyed that portion of the warehouse known by
the name of the drying-room, the printed paper-room,
the white paper-room, and the type store-rcorti, standing
upon an area, at tho north-west end of the building, of
about 150 by 70 feet, nothing being left standing jziat
the bare outer walls.

It appears that all the men employed in the ware-
house department left for dinner at the usual hour of
one o'clock, when everything was apparently safe and
secure; but they had nit quitted the premises more than
five minutes, when ono of the neighbours, from his
back window, Frceived a vast body of flame rushing
from the upper northern window of the drying room: he
immediately raised an alarm, but before he could make
Messrs. Clowes' workmen aware of the danger, the con-
flagration had spread with elanest the rapidity of light-
ning over the whole extent of the warehouse containing
the rooms above mentioned. _ _

Fortunately there was a small fire-engine kept upon
the premises, which was soon brought into play, and
supplied with water from a tank in the machine-room,
u. pump being effixed to the steam-engine. This work
was considerably facilitated by the son of an opposite
neighbour, who had formerly ben employed when a
boy by the Messrs. Cloves, and who directed the opera-
tions of the fire-engine with so much skill and energy as,
by his means, to prevent the conflagration from spread-
ing to the opposite side of the printing-office, and which
would thus undoubtedly have produced a vast deal more
damage than has occurred, although the logs must still be
very great.
• In a quarter of an hohr after the discovery of the fire,
the engine belonging to Mr. Cory, the coal merchant,
arrived; which was quickly followed by several others
from the West of England Fire-effiee, and the Brigade
establishment; but nearly twenty minutes elapsed before
a supply of water could be obtained. At length, how-
ever, the engines were well supplied, and such a stream
so successfully poured.upon the burning pile, that the fire
was completely got under by three o'clock.
The composing-rooms, the machine room, and the
stereotyping department have entirely escaped irjary, so
that the men were enabled to resume their employ-
ment this morning.
We understand that the fire could scarcely have broken
out at a more unfortunate time, as the viateheuse was
much more than usually fall, not only of printed works,
ready for publication, hut also of many thousands of
reams of white paper ready for printing the works now
in process of execution. Among the works destroyed
are a large number cf the Official Catalogue of the
Great, Exhibition, the Jury Arards., and some of Mr..
itlurray's Road Books; and likewise a great quantity of
type kept ready for use in the store room; besides seve-
ral thousand reams of white paper.
Wo believe the stook and premises are insured in the

ottiees; but whether to the whole extent of the damage
or not, we had not the means of ascertaining.
No certain estimate of the amount of damage can at
present be implicitly relied on, but it is computed by per-
toes, competent to form a good opinion, that it cannot be
less than between 20,000/. and 30,060/.
The origin of the fire is not known, but from the
suddenness of the outbreak, as also from the rapidity of
the flames, it is thought probable that it was caused by
an unobserved escape of gas from some of the pipes.

MR. FEA.RGUS O'CONNOR.
It was with considerable difficiity, after being com-
mitted to the custody of the, Sergeant-at-Arms, that
Captain Gossett could suweed in conveying Mr. O'Con-
gor to his destinclion in the Parliamentary leak-up, and
ads difilculty was not a little increased from the circum-
stance of the well-known sinuous nature of the rents
that leads to the legislative limbo. The Honourable
