FIRES.

The neighbourhood of Petticoat-lane was tibrown into a
state of great alarm, about nine o'clock on Sunday morning,
by the breaking out of a fierce fire at the upper part of
No. 41, which is occupied by Mr. Myers, carver and look-
ing-glass manufacturer. The flames spread with great
rapidity, and from the narrowness of the lane, and the very
inflammable quality of most of its buildings, well-grounded
fears were entertained that the calamity would be widely
spread, and such must hare been the case, had not a strong
body of the fire brigade -been promptly on the spot. The
following are the principal sufferers :—Mr. Myers, of 41,
where the fire commenced. The upper part of his house,
used as workshops, is destroyed, with its contents ; the fire
is supposed to have happened from a German stove. Mr.
Hyham Levy, of 41i, butcher, has lost much property, and
the house was greatly daniaged. Messrs. Levy and Isaacs
pickle merchants, are sufferers by removal, and the drench
ing of the premises with water. All the parties are insured

caught fire, but a body of forty of the fire brigade, with
