FIRE IN TILE CITY
_ROAD.—(This Day.)

This (Friday) morning, at a few minutes before
4 o'clock, a fire, attended with a considerable de-
struction of property, and almost fatal consequences
to the iLmates, took place in one of the lofty estab-
lishments, numbered 171, City-road, in the tenure
of Mr. E. Hatch, a milliner and silk mercer. The
flames commenced in the basement, and speedily
rushed up the staircases as far as the top of the
third floor, and then penetrating the roof, but
strange to say it passed the shop and parlour with-
out doing any material damage. Some hours, how-
ever, elapsed before tie conflagration could be con-
quered and a serious amount of property was de-
stroyed, which is thus officially returned by Captain
Shaw, to the Board of Works ;—No. 171, City-
road, Mr. E. Hatch, milliner, &c.—A house of 12
rooms—front ba=ement burned out ; the first, se-
cond, and third floors and contents seriously da-
maged by fire. arid part of roof off. The front
shop and parlour damaged by water, &c. No. 173
ditto—Mr. J. Abrahams, window glass merchant—
Building and contents damaged by water.
