THE FIRE IN TIIA.MES-STREET.—(Further
particulars.)—The cause of this dreaeful fire is not clearly
ascertained. It appears the men employed in the granary
left work at ten minutes past seven on Tuesday night, and
then all was apparently safe. The flames were first per-
ceived about a quarter before ten, and evidently issuing
from a building to tho right of the wharf and granary, in
which were the steam-engine and kiln belonging to Messrs.
West and Co. As soon as the flames were perceived the
new float belonging to the London Fire Establishment,
which contains three pov•erful engines, capable of throwing
a combined stream of three tons per minute, was brought
from its moorings by Southwark Bridge to the scene of
conflagration. It was the first time of its being brought
into actual service, and, although worked under very dis-
advantageous circumstances, its great powers and value in
cases of water-side fires were clearly demonstrated. The
fire-light was instantly exhibited on board, and the loud gong,
the signal that assistance was wanted, was kept sounding,
and in a short time 80 able-bodied men were brought on
board who were eager to commence work. The float was
rowed to the spot by 12 pair of rowers, and was found to an-
swer well to the oar. It was, unfortunately, nearly low water,
and the tide still running down, and although the barge,
when fully manned, only draws 18 inches water, it was im-
possible, for want of water, to bring her nearer to the
burning building than 400 feet. From this distance, by
uniting eight lengths of hose, the branch was carried forward
to a barge, distant only 40 feet from the River front of the
building; and from this spot the water was poured upon and
into the building with amazing effect. The capability of the
float exceeded expectations ; and such was the fury with
which the water battered against the walls and coping of
the building, that bricks and stones were continually being
displaced by it. The water was with ease carried over the
walls a height from the River of about 80 feet. Eleven
other engines were present ; but it was mainly by the ser-
vices of the float that the fire was got under, the land en-
gines, from the situation of the property, not having free
scope for action.—Besides the total destruction of the
granary of Messrs. West and Co., with the stock and ma-
chinery therein, the fire has done some damage to the wharf
and to the waggons laden with coals, which stood thereon,
the property of Messrs. Pearson and Co. A barge belong-
ing to Messrs. Smith and Co., corn-factors, of the adjoining
wharf, was also repeatedly on fire, and the flames were ex-
tinguished as they broke out by the floating engines. The
buildings of the wharf and granary are insured in the Union,
but it is understood for only 1,5001., a sum far below their
value. The stock in the granary was very heavy, and is
said to have amounted in all to 5,000 qrs. of corn and seeds,
consisting principally of oats, peas, beans, pearl and Scotch
' barleys, and various kinds of seed.
