IH.REE MORE EXTENSIVff FIRES.

A bout three o'clock yesterday morning a police-
constable, in passing through St. Helen's'-place.
Bishop sgate, discovered a fire burning in the etten-
sive offices occupied conjointly by Mr. D. Sally,
surgeol, Mr. Tite, M.P., and Mr. J. Searight, a
merchant, situate at No. 18 in the above place. An
instant afarm was given, and as soon as other oon-
stables came up, whieh was in the course of a few
minutes, some 'were sent to convey the necessary
intelligence t 9 the fire and escape stations, whilst
others kept the doors. The fire- escape from
Bishopsgate-street soon arrived, when Conductor
Steer pitched his machine against the building, and
passed Mrs. P. iwsey, the housekeeper, over the
roof, and therel )y saved her life. The engines of
the London Brig ade, including the powerful land
steam-engine by Shand and Masons were soon in
attendance, under the command of Captain Shaw,
and Foremen Swanton and Withers. A plentiful
supply of the New River Company's water having
been procured, the firemen went to work in a most
praisewort
manner, but in spite of their exer-
tions the wi
Irk of destruction continued, and
'even-
tually the flames rushed from the ground floor up
the staircase, 1.1,nd having penetrated the roof, they
rose high into the air, threatening danger to the
surrounding proimerty. The firemen, however, by
great perseverance.., managed to get the flames sub-
dued, but not until the whole of the premises, con-
-aces, were seriously damaged
sisting of about 15 1.
by fire and water. ;The origin of the fire is un-
known. . .

About a quarter 1. ,efore six in the morning a
very serious fire took
pi' ace on the premises of Mr.
S. Morris, law stationer, earrying on business at
No. SA, Cook's-court, al ey-street, Lincoln's-inn-
fields. The flames commenced in the back room,
first floor, and they rapidly ascended to the top
of the house, and rushed through the roof. The
land steam-engine, by Shand and Mason,
quickly attended, and four manual-power ma-
chines, under the direction of Captain Shaw
and Mr. Fogo, the chief officer of the B district,
who were ably assisted by Engineer Perryer. A.
good supply of water having been obtained the
engines were called into operation, and with the
aid of 58 hired auxiliaries the flames were ex-
tinguished, but not till the greater portion of the
building was destroyed, and the remainder seriously
damaged by fire and water. Mr. C. White, of the
County Fire Office, was soon in attendance, the
contents of Mr. Morris's premises being insured in
that office. The origin of the misfortune is unknown.
Another fire, almost attended with fatal conse-
quences to five persons, took place on the premises
belonging i'o Mr. G. Glover, wholesale tea dealer, a
few doors from the brigade engine-station in Tooley-
street, Southwark. The discovery was made by a
police-constable of the N division, who at once
raised an alarm, and sent for the, engines and fire-
escapes of the Royal Society. Conductor Dunk
having arrived with the escape, he fortunately suc-
ceeded in bringing down in safety three women
and two children. At this time the smoke was
pouring forth in immense volumes from every win-
dow. Had it not bee n for the timely arrival of the
escape, the whole of the persons who were thus
rescued must have per2shed. The engines of the
parish and brigade were
remarkably quick in arriv-
ing, and as usual a good a upply of the Southwark
Company's water having
been procured, the fire-
men went to work in an adi.nirable manner, under
the direction of Mr. Henderson, the chief officer of
the D district, but the fire was not extinguished
until serious damage was done to the building and
its contents. The loss will fall upon several fire
offices.

LIVERPOOL-AUG. 1.

At to-day's market there was rather a-small attendance
of the town and country trade, and not many buyers from
a distance. Wheat met a moderate inquiry, but the full
prices of Tuesday were realised. Fine flour scarce, and
rather higher. Barley brought rather more money, also
peas, while Egyptian beans were fully is per qr dearer.
Oats advanced Id per 451bs, but oatmeal dull and no change
in price. Indian corn in extensive demand, at an improve-
ment of 3d to 6d per qr.
