Between four and five o'clock yesterday morning a
terrific fire broke out in Three Colt-street, Limehouse,
near to the church, which, at one period threatened the
total destruction of the entire neighbourhood. The
devouring element was not extinguished before six
houses fell a prey to the flames, and eight others were
seriously damaged. The fire was first discovered to be
raging in the lower part of the premises of a Mr.
Hunt, cheesemonger, No. 40, Three Colt-street, which
in a short time enveloped the entire building, the
inmates having escaped with great difficulty. The
greater part of the building, as well as the ad-
joining ones, being wood, the fire spread
with the utmost rapidity, and in a few minutes
No. 39 and 40 shared the same fate. Messengers were
instantly dispatched for the engines, but by the time the
engines from School-house-lane, Wellclose-square, and
that from Jeffery-square arrived, about 12 or 14
houses were destroyed and partly consumed ; the un-
fortunate inmates of several of them having escaped in
a state of nudity, while others were only able to save a
few things, with but little of their furniture. The en-
gines having at length been got to work and a plenti-
ful supply of water obtained, the firemen, assisted by the
police and other,,, through very great exertions,
by about five o'clock succeeded in stopping the
further progress of the flames. The follow-
ing is the official report of the houses destroyed old
damaged:—No. 40, Three Colt-street, Mr. Hunt, cheese-
monger, destroyed ; No. 41 and 42, Mr. Elwes, butcher,
ditto ; No. 39, Mr. Paris, King's Arms, all destroyed
but the cellar ; No. 38, Messrs. Haywood and Green-

MARKET NEWS.-{YESTERDAY.)
This being a holiday, no business was transacted at Mark-
lane or in the Borough.

SMITHFIELD.
For the time of year, the supply of Beasts on sale here te'
day was moderately extensive, owing to which the Beef trade
ruled dull, and Monday's prices were with difficulty seri
ported. There were in the market 300 Scots from Scotism,'
and 50 Beasts, together with 40 Sheep, from Holland. The
number of Sheep was small ; hence the Mutton trade vies._
firm, and previous rates were steadily maintained. Tin'
'being the great Lamb market, the supply of that descriptieel
of stock was good, though not quite equal to that at some
previous corresponding periods of the year. The trade was
brisk, at an advance in the currencies of from 6d to is Pecf.

EXTRAORDINARY EXCAVATION IN THE

sioners of Sewers at Guildhall, will be completed in the
Ct
that was commenced about four months ago, and which
tends from Whitefriars Dock to Fleet-street, opposite CrafeesiP
court The whole length was tunnelled under the houLos
which was an operation of considerable difficulty, and it
expected that the whole would not have been eseeu:o,
without some serious accident, but fortunately none bee
curred. The sewer is constructed at a depth of about tweet :6
three feet from the surface. During the excavation 'ov
workmen discovered a vault, which was found to be sb°,be
eighty feet long, reaching almost from Fleet-street te,„` of
Thames, nine feet wide, and seven feet deep ; it was bul" s
the most durable material, and the pavement of 't

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN EXETER...-. On , the
morning, at half-past two o'clock, Inspector Hamlin,
the
Exeter night police, being upon the Quay, observed un7l,,
issuing from the back part of the premises of Mr. Jarny
Thomas, tallow-chandler and starch manufacturer, on gd
opposite side of the river. The alarm bell was soundetitZte
messengers were dispatched to the different engine-hou,sehasa
give intimation of the fire. Meanwhile the alarm baa
given to Mr. Thomas and to other persons living in °see
diate proximity to the scene of the conflagration ;
every effort had been made to remove as much pro Per
time and circumstances would admit beyond the root
of the devouring element. It was feared at one time oglit
the fire would spread considerably, and those who tift,od
their furniture might be endangered by it had
to remove it, and we regret to add that in the coll'„„Atli,
which ensued there is too much reason to fear that 0
robberies were committed. The shop and lower rot in'
Mr. Thomas's premises were cleared as far back as •tfotere,',
tense heat would allow; but in the manufactory and bet '"
rooms the first had already attained to such a head t ooze'
was scarcely possible to save anything. From theA COP'
bustible nature of the property—principally tallow nr":ote

with which the premises were stored, the progress o,os
