ALARMING FlRE.—Yesterday forenoon, about
twelve o'clock, the neighbourhood of Cranborne-alley, Leices-
ter-square, was thrown into a state of the greatest alarm, by
an immense volume of flame and smoke bursting from the shop
and first floor windows of the house of Mr. Dunn, shoemaker,
and from the amazing rapidity of the devouring element, it
was at first thought not one of the numerous inmates Could
that -
escape. However, several of the neighbours, with great activity,
tore down the shutters, and with the aid of the parochial engine,
confined the flames to the lOwer pared the house ; .and whils
they were engaged in this praiseworthy act, a scene that beggars
description was going on among the lodgers, every room hav-
ing its occupants, and all, in a state of inconceivable confuilon
and alarm, were flinging from the windows their furniture, Ste.
into the street in every direction. One of the upper room win-
doWs was in the confusion thrown open, and directly after a
large saucepan was burial into the street witlra loud exclama-
tion of !' take care of the pork,;" and in its progress through
the air, a kg of pork, Several dumplings, and some greens fell
out ; this incident had such a hidicrotis effect, that shouts of
laughter were re-echoed on all, sides ; the owner, a tailor, ap-
peared at the window, and was with the greatest difficulty pre-
vented darting into the street after his dinner. It seems lie
was awoke by his wife, who, in great alarm, informed him
the house was in flames ; and his first impulse was to fly to the
fire,lind hurl the not containing his faMily dinner, for safety,
into the street. 'lhe flames, by very great•exertion, were con-
fined to the lower part of the premises of Mr. Dunn, which con-
sist of a double house, with two shops, until the arrival of the
Sun, Exchange, and County fire-engines, wfren it" plentiful
supply of water being obtained, in about an hour thelire was
completely subdued, having destroyed the entire of the ground
floor :. the shops ants the valuable stock in trade were completely
redirced to ashes. It is supposed that the fire was caused by
the gas escaping, but hoW it originated was not precisely aScer-
tainedi' the family were from home it is an extremely for-
tunate circumstance that the fire did not break Cut at night;
had it done so, from the- confined nature of the 'courti, in all
probability the most incalculable mischief would have occurred.
