7 ILREE MORE EXTENSIVE FIRES.

About three o'clock yesterday morning a police"
constable, in passing through St. He len's-place,
Bishopsgate, discovered a fire burning in the exten-
sive offices occupied conjointly by Mr. D. Sully,
surgeon, Mr. Tite, M.P., and Mr. J. SE aright, a
merchant, situate at No. 18 in the above place. Au
instant alarm was given, and as soon as otller con-
stables came up, whieh was in the course of a fevt
minutes, some were sent to convey the necessary
intelligence to the fire and escape stationsv 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. Pawsey, the housekeeper, over the
rOof, and thereby saved her life. The engineE; of
the London Brigade, including the powerful
land
steam-engine by Shand and Mason, 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 fire men went to work in a most
praiseworthy manner, but in spite of their exer-
tions the wofk of destruct: on continued, and even-
tually the flames rushed from the ground floor up
the staircase, and having penetrated the roof, they
rose high into the air, threaiening danger to the
surrounding property. The firemen, however, by
great perseverance, managed to get the flames sub-
dued, but not until the whole of the premises, con-
sisting of about 15 oft;:ces, were seriously damaged
by fire and water. Th" origin of the fire is un-
known.
.e Six in the morning a
About a quarter befoi
very serious fire took place L,n the premises of gr.
S. Morris, law stationer, earl:Ting on business at
No. SA, Cook's-court, Carey-stx'eet)
Lincoln's inn'
fields. The flames commenced in the back room,
first floor, and they rapidly ascoruf ed to the Top
of the house, and rushed through tL'e roof. The
d Mason,
land steam-engine, by Shand al.
quickly attended, and four manual-1, o.wer ma-
chines, under the direction of Captai. •ShW
.a,"
'
and Mr. Fogo, the chief officer of the B tiletricA
who were ably assisted by Engineer Perrye,"•
good supply of water having been obtained the
e
engines were called into operation, and with We
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 premige
belonging to 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 sue-
ceeded in bringing down in safety three women
and two children. At this time the smoke woe
pouring forth in immense volumes from every Non'
dow. Had it not been for the timely arrival of the
escape, the whole of the persons who were WO
rescued must have perished. The engines of the
parish and brigade were remarkably quick in arriv"
ing, and as usual a good supply of the Southwark
Company's water having been procured, the fire-
men went to work in an admirable manner, under
the direction of Mr. Henderson, the chief officer Of
the LI district, but the fire was not extinguished
until serious damage was done to the building ana
its contents. The loss will fall upon several fire
offices.
