EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT KINGSLAND.—Last
night, between the hours of nine and ten, a fire of an
extensive character, and attended with a considerable
loss of property, broke out in the premises belonging to
Air. Tapper, a cabinet-maker, carrying on business at No.
42, Laburnhana-terrace, Raggerstone-lane, Kingsland-
road. The premises were of some extent, being three
storeys high, and stretched backwards a great dis-
tance. The several floors were filled with veneers,
mahogany, and other valuable woods. The discovery
Was made by a police-officer of the N division, who,
on passing the premises, perceived smoke issuing
from the lower part of the builwthinthgi.n
the premisesFeelingcon-
vinced that a fire was raging
he gave an alarm, and sent off for proper as,istance.
In the course of a few niinutei Meadows arrived

firemen then found the entire structure,
with
flame, its valuable contents, in a regular sheet of , .
the reflection thrown up was so great that it not only
illuminated the entire neighbourhood, but it could!
be seen over the whole of London. A plentiful sup-
ply of water was at once procured, from which the
engines were set to work, but in spite of the tor-
rent of water thrown upon the conflagration it con-
tinued to extend, and it was with difficulty the fire-
men succeeded in staying its progress towards the
adjoining houses. The total loss will amount to several
hundreds, it not upwards of a thousand pounds. As to
the origin of the disaster, nothing could be obtained that
could be relied upon. The proprietor of the place was
cut at the time of the outbreak, but it was ascertained
that the loss will fall upon the Atlas Fire.office. A vast
crowd was collected by the light thrown up, but owing
to the exertions of the police no one was injured. Two
other fires occurred last night—one at Stainford•hill, by
Which a quantity of bay was destroyed ; the other
the Edgeware-road, but in the latter case the damage
done was fortunately only trifling.
