DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT HUNGERPORD-MARRET.
Yesterday morning, about 20 minutes past four o'clock,
a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Milligan, corn and
hay merchant, Hungerford-market. It was first disco-
vered by the watchmen in the market, who instantly
gave the alarm, and, having
. broken open the door of the
stable, succeeded in rescuing two valuable horses, which
otherwise would have become a prey to the devouring
element. Shortly afterwards the Chandos-street Brigade-
engines arrived, and were immediately followed by those
of the West of England and County Fire-offices; and
there being a plentiful supply of water, and a number of
men who were waiting for the market to open present,
they were without delay set to work on the flaunt s,
which had already attained a fearful height. Great
fears were for a considerable time entertained for the
safety of the adjoining premises, occupied by Mr.
Brotherton as an oil manufactory; but by the exertions
of the firemen. police, and inhabitants, the fire was con-
fined to Mr. Milligan's warehouse, and was not entirely
subdued until seven o'clock. The warehouse and contents
are totally destroyed, nothing but the outer walls being
left standing. It is supposed that the fire originated
from an overheated flue belonging to a copper used for
boding shell-fish by the salesmen in the market. The
am. qit of property destroyed cannot yet be ascertained.
