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 the
Southwark-bridge-road engine, as also that of the West
of England, arrived. By this time, notwithstanding
very valuable aid was rendered by the authorities and a
Deptford Dockyard engine, the entire property and
house of Mr. Nelson were one burning mass, and the
flames 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 machines
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.
