ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
This morning, between one and two o'clock, a fire;
broke out in the shop of Mr. Nelson, a tailor, of Flagon—,
row, Deptford, and for a considerable time much anxiety •
prevailed for the safety of the family. Messengers were
sent to London for assistance, and in a short time tha-1
Southwark-bridge-road engine, as also that of the Wept
of England, arrived. By this time, notwithstanditig-:
very valuable aid was rendered by the authoritie s and a
Deptford Dockyard engine, the entire property and.
house of Mr. Nelson were one burning mass, and file
names had also reached two adjoining houses, those of
Mr. Cherry, stationer, and Mr. Brooks, butcher. The
supply of water from the Kent mains having been made-
available for every engine, the London powerful reachinc
threw their torrents on the flames, and, fortunately, by •
three o'clock, the danger subsided, not, however, until,
great loss of property and damages by removal.
