I) RE ADRi L FIRE AT 111)007„

LAST Tnesda, night a most dreadful fie broke
out in the extensive range of warehouSes belonging'
• to Messrs. France, P.)15, nna
.Fletcher,, adjoin-
ing the St. George's Duck, Liverpool, which, in A.
short time, consumed the same, and many other
warehouses contiguous thereto—all filled with
.West
India produCe, grain, er:c. but fortunately all. the
shipping was saved.• 'rue: loss is estimated at half
miliion.sterling. The following account of this
Calamity is extratted from a letter received yester-
- day,,clated

" Liverpool, Sept. rs.
A tremendous are broke out last night at this
place, 'which consumed the whole of the beautiful
and extensive warehouses fronting St. GeOrge's
)ock, justly the pride of Liverpool's enterprising
inhabitants, and the admiration of all strangers.-,-It
is not known how this dreadful calamity originated ;
but about ten o'clock smoke was observed to issue
from the centre Of Francis's-buildings ; the fire..
bell was instantly rung, the drums beat to arms,
the whale of the military turned out, and every ex-
ertion that aftive attention could furnish was ren_
tiered. The remains of the Northumberland Fenci-
bles were particularly adtive, commanded by their
Adjtrant.
(r About one the flames burst forth with tremen.
dous fury, and continued raging and threatening de.-
utruCtion to all around till six o'clock in' the mons,
ing, when.- they were got somewhat under. The
fury with which the conflagratlon raged, its 'cads
will best demonstrate, for all those beautiful and ex-
tensive buildings reaching from Water-lane to
Brunswick. street, with the corresponding store_
houses called Francis, were, at six o'clock in the morn-
- ing, one prodigious heap of ruins am just re.
turned (twelve o'clock) from visiting the ruins,
and cannut_describe to you how awfully grand they
appear—the walls, which bounded these prodigious
buildings being &Om to to z 4 stories high, stand
perfetft bur unsupported ; the front has given way,
except some large stone arches which formed its
basis--these, as the buildings have fallen, .are mu-
tilated, and appear above the heaps of the rubbish
a perfed,piaure.
"George's Dock is one settle of confusion—bnies
of cotton, puncheons of rum, of sugar, bags of corn,
&c. lying in promiscuous heaps ; every face bears
evident marks of sorrow or of sympathy. The
adtial damage cannot bt less thati a mill ion.ofinoory.
Theshipping, (tor the dock was full close to
the spot,) were, from its fortunately being good.
- ride, removed and preserved; but every attention
was necessary, 'such as wet sail.; plaCed before the
rigging, &c. It may be considered a fortunate
circumstance that the streets of this populous town
were, laid with 'water-pipes, and the attention
paid by the proprietors of the Bootle Springs to..
wards furnishing a sufficient quantity of water, in-
. a great measure checked the, progress of the flames.
It is to be regretted the immense reservoir Corn-
, i)leting by this Company was not finished, as it is
calculated to contain near 4000 tons ol water, .at
an height commanding the utmost acclivities and
buildings of•the town."
