DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

Yesterday (Sunday) morning, shortly before three
o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out upon the
premises belonging to Mr. Trott, a builder, carrying
on business in Primrose-street, Bishopsgate. The
flames commenced, from some cause which could not
be ascertained, in the ironmongery stores, a building
of some magnitude, and separated from the City of
London Theatre by only a few feet. Police• constable
245 G, who first discovered the fire, raised an imme-
diate alarm, and in the course of a few minutes the
engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of
England attended, as well as one of the Royal So•
ciety's escapes. The flames, however, had during
the brief interval obtained entire possession of that
portion of the premises in which they commenced,
and were rushing so fiercely through the roof as to
threaten the theatre with destruction. Fortunately
there was an abundant supply of water from the fire-
mains in the district, with which the engines were
worked with full vigour for some considerable time,
before the least impression could be made upon the
fire. Owing to the strenuous exertions of the fire-
men, however, the flames were prevented from ex-
tending to the theatre and other surrounding pro-
perty ; but they could not be extinguished until the
stores were burned out, and the premixes under, in
the occupation of Mr. Johnson, grocer and coffee-
roaster, were severely damaged by water. Mr. Trott
was fortunately insured in the Phenix Office.—About
one o'clock a rapidly destructive fire happened on the
premises belonging to Mr. T. Hill, a greengrocer,
situate at 29, Coles- terrace, Barn sbury-roed, Islington.
The fire when first perceived was raging furiously in
the ground floor. The police on duty in the street
sounded an instant alarm, and sent for the engines.
Such a firm hold, however, had the flames previously
obtained, that before an engine had time to arrive the
fire was rushing forth from every window in the
building. The parish, London Brigade, and West of
England engines attended with as little delay as pos-
sible ; but, notwithstanding that the engines were
abundantly supplied with water, and ever person
exerted himself to the utmost, the flames could not be
conquered until the whole of Mr. Hill's premises
were completely gutted. Owing to the judicious
exertions of the Clerkenwell and Islington engine-
keepers, the progress of the flames was cut off just
as the adjoining premises, belonging to Messrs. Hop-
kins and Co., were on the point of becoming ignited.
Mr. Baddeley, the inspector of the Royal Society for
the Protection of Life from Fire, who was promptly
on the spot with the escape from Islington-green,
nearly lost his life in endeavouring to stop the
ravages of the fire. He entered the building
with the branch of the Islington engine, for the
purpose of extinguishing a portion of the fire not
otherwise accessible, when he was suddenly over-
whelmed by the falling of the roof, but fortunately he
escaped uninjured. A body of the N division of
police, under Inspector Thatcher, were present, and
rendered essential service. The origin of the fire re-
mains a mystery, although there is no doubt of its
being accidental. Unfortunately, the sufferer was not
insured.—ln the evening the extensive range of pre-
mises termed the Southern Mart, No. 51, Stones'-
end, Borough, immediately facing the Police-court,
were discovered to be on fire. The premises were in
the occupation of Messrs. Palmer, Franks, and Co., hat
and cap factors, and, owing to their proximity to the
Unicorn Inn and outbuildings, a fearful conflagration
was momentarily expected. Mr. Superintendent
Evans, of the M division, with Mr. Inspector Cowlan,
and a strong body of constables, immediately repaired
to the spot, and kept the immense crowd from forcing
in the shutters, by which means the flames were in a
great measure kept under. The engines of the
London Brigade and West of England Company,
under the command of Mr. Henderson and Mr. Con-
norton, quickly attended; and, there being plenty of
water obtained from the fire-mains belonging to the
Lambeth and other companies, the brigade were
enabled to confine the flames to the premises in which
they commenced; but they were not extinguished
until a large amount of property had been destroyed.
Owing to the absence of all parties connected with the
property it was impossible to learn whether
the premises were insured.—On Saturday night a fire
broke out in one of the stables of Sharsted-farm, in
the occupation of Mr. James Edwards, of Rochester,
situate near the village of Luton, about two miles
from Chatham. Owing to the combustible materials,
the flames travelled with unusual rapidity from
one building to another, thence connecting them-
selves with a row of 12 stacks, the growth of this
year, consisting of wheat, barley, cats, peas, &c.,
which were very soon in one body of fire. The in-
formation of the disaster was communicated by ex-
press to the offices of the Kent and Sun, and the
agents immediately horsed their engines ' and pro-
ceeded to the awful scene of destruction. They were
of no use, as there was no water, except a little in a
pond. The property destroyed, it is stated, amounts
to about 7,0001., and Mr. Edwards is only insured in
the Kent for 4,0001. There are four horses burnt to
death, three atables, one barn, and a long line of other
