EXTENSIVE FIRE AT DEPTFORD.
On Wednesday morning, between twelve and one
o'clock, information was received at the various fire
stations, that a dreadful fire was raging at Deptford.
The engines of the Brigade and West of England-Com-
pany, with a strong body of firemen, were dispatched
thither ; and on their arrival two houses in Flagon row,
Deptford, were on fire. One by that time (a clothier
and draper's) was entirely consumed. The firemen
exerted themselves to the utmost, but by two o'clock
both houses, with their contents, were reduced to a
heap of ruins. The origin of the Ate was unknown. It
appears that some time after the inmates had retired to
bed, a noise like the discharge of a gun was heard by
one of the neighbours, and almost instantaneously flames
shot through every aperture in the lower part of the
house. After a deal of trouble the inmates were
ac Likened, but they were unable to descend the stair-
case on account of the flames. A ladder having been
procured, they were rescued from the second floor with
nothing on but their night cloths. A young man, at
great risk, forced his way into the burning buildings,
and snatched from the flames a coffin, containing the
body of one of Mr. Webb's children, recently deceased.
The flames at one period extended completely over the
entrance to Flagon-buildings, so that none of the occu-
piers were able to escape. The excitement created by
this circumstance was truly distressing, their being
nearly a dozen families hemmed in by the fire on one
to work, they hsaanlnde, and a wall on the other ; and the flames at the
