HE FIRE IN NEWGATE-STREET
AND PATERNOSTER-ROW.

It is stated that in consequence of the conflagration
that took place on Monday night in the City, between one
and two hundred persons will be thrown out of employ-
ment, the greater number of whom are females, who were
employed in book-binding and other light trades. During
the whole of yesterday examinations took place on the
spot as to the cause of the dreadful calamity by the various
surveyors belonging to the Fire Insurance Offices, as also
those provided for against loss, and others less fortunate;
and the following are some of the particulars :
Johnson, steam printer—stock, machinery, and building,
all consumed, not insured.

Russell, copper-plate printer—stock and building partly
destroyed, supposed not to be insured.
Howell (Dolly's chop-house)—building damaged by
water, insured in the Royal Exchange and Licensed Vic-
tuallers' Offices.

Ew•ens, No. 9, lodging-house—damaged by fire; some
of the lodgers believed to be insured in the Hand in Hand
Office.

Manning and Mason, letter-press printers, Nos. 10, 11,
12—back, composing, press, and other rooms, with stock,
nearly consumed by fire, as also contents of the back ware-
house, MSS., &c., insured in the Sun Fire Office.
The fire is believed to have originated in the machine-
room of Mr. Johnson, and must have been smouldering
from the time the men left at office hours. No person re-
ceived the least injury during the fire.
