CIIEST.L.It, JAN. 3 I.

On Friday morning last, ahOut six o'clock, a
most alartning tire broke Out in Messrs. Ken weir thy's
warehouses in Hop-pole-yard, in this city,' which
threatened the destruction of the whole range of
buildings, bat owing to the very naive and power-
ful exertions Of the firemen and persons in working
the engines and supplying them with water, it was
providentially got under in a much less time than
could be 'reasonably. expeaed from the tremendous
appearance it at first exhibited.. By pulling down a
small stable they contrived to prevent the_ tire corn-
Municating to therange of stables at the top cif the
yard, adjoining the walls, and ocenpied by Mr., U.
of the Hop-pole inn, and though
,they
were at one time in, the greatest danger, they did'
not receive any injury. The warehouses,: belonging
to Messrs. Kenworthy, were full of
.goods, a gloat
part of which is destroyed, and a AOl larger gnarl.
tilk damaged.;: and paper to cousideralal amount;
and about 400() newspaper stamps,- in the printing.'-
office of Mr. Fletcher, were consumed, and, other
damage done 1.1 the confusion that• occurred, but
all Ow printing materials were LIVCd. No lives
were lost. . ,

On Sunday night, about ten o'clock, a fire broke
out in the bakehouse of Mr. Styles, near. Luton,
Kent, which entirely consumed tie same, together
with the flour it oontairied. • It has not been ascer—
Stifled how the accident occurred. The baker, who
slept in the bakehouse, and who had lain down in
his clothes, awoke from the pain of burning, and,
shocking to relate, found himself completely eni
Neldped with the 'flames. Lie 'sprang through the
window, and ran to alarm his master, his clothes
being all the time in one continued blaze. The fa-
mily immediately made every every exertion to ex-
tiqui,h the poor 1,,,110w's clothes, but they were
all nearly reduced to ashes, before they could render
hint any assistance his terrors were so great, and
• the pain he endured- so miserably acute, that his
presence of mind entirely forsook him, and he made
no attempt to relieve himself. He expired aliont
five o'clock next morning in great agony. Two
horses that were in's budding adjoining the bake-
house, were, with difficulty, saved, after being very
much burnt.

A dreadful fire.broke ont'at a quarter before five
o'clock yesterday morning, at the house of Mr:
[lance, army agent, in Pall-Mall.court; Pall-Mall.
it was first discovered-by Mrs. li'auca's nurse, who
had been into the back room with Mrs. Bausa's
intent. On perceiving, the flames, she ran down
stairs, crying out " fife! fire !," with the infant in
her arms. Mrs. %Luca, who had only lain-in three
weeks; got out of bed, and ran down stairs also.—
She was, with her four children, taken to the house
of Mr. VRANCIS, the upholSterer, in and
every aWstante was tendered to thetti. Theflames

ing the corner of the court,- was cleared of all
