GREAT FIRE IN CHARLESTOWN, MASS'
BOSTON, JUNE 27, 1846. ,
" A fire broke out, about one o'clock this morning' fe
le
Quimby's lard oil factory, on Warren-Street,
town, which, w:th all its contents, was entirely destroyed
'I be fire also communicated to a dwelling house oval
by Mrs. Fennell, and occupied by Mr. Silas Crangs::(l,
Mr. Sylvester, Which was likewise totally eoo°""tbs
The dwelling house. of Mr. Kendall Bailey, next io
'ail factory, was considerably damaged. The wind beim
in the right direction to carry the flames fro °I fise
house, it was finally saved, though Mr. Bayiefs 'll%
garden in the rear was very much injured by be'
occupied by the firemen in extinguishing the flames' ,
On the opposite side of Warren-street;*the fire e°
muateated to a large house, nearly new;' helongiegj
the heirs of John Coffin, from which the tenant.:
lately removed. The upper story of the house, tbs.
ruined before the firemen succeeded in masterieg.,o
flames, and the whole was completely drenchede;i
water. This house is in the care of Hon. Bern 44
Thompson, member of Congress, whose wife is 012"
the heirs to the estate.
ttlf Two or three nice houses belonging to Mr. Co-ha dr
deputy-sheriff of this city, were very considerablY,4
triaged. but were finally saved by the persevering
energetic exertions of the firemen. tent*
The bunting of the oil factory and greasy con or
made a most brilliant illumination, which lasted for°ol
two hoots. It lighted up the city. of Boston in sPlelisbe
style, and was the most imposing spectacle, in rot
shape of a conflagration, that I have seen for a g
while.
tbs‘
It rained quite hard during a portion of the dale fice
the fire was raging. This was a fortunate eircurost%,xi:
fOr the oil factory was surrounded by wooden buil° iv
that would have caught instantly, had it not been fordgel •
drenching rain. The firemen of Boston, Carobriaor
and Chelsea, were promptly on the spot, and their
fl'
dons, in conjunction with the Charlestown fire derilisc'
tnent, saved the town from a wide. spread and-deOrel
tive calamity. Some difficulty, I believe, was experisflor
in obtaining an adequate supply of water. How thews!
originated is not known. It was pretty well under
when discovered. The amount of loss and insureol'ir
am unable to give, as this letter is written very earl
the morning. jt
THE PROJECTED OCCUPATION or CALITORNIS'/itis said there is a design entertained in some quarterb"otr

the sanction of the President. but that it is to o°

New England, and is to be composed of hardy ilareatif
