Mier(lay morning, about two o'clock, an alarming ;
fire broke out in the Colour-mainien6toty,at the
thisebOurne, belonging. to Mes.irs. Packers of WS
towtt. Free
.negleCt Of the -neighbours who
early attended th fire, intelligence was not commu-
nicated at the engine-olee till considerably past
three,o'clock. The moment, howeVcr, that notice
was given, the engines prtcecded with the utmost
expedition to the spot, where the most strenuous
exertions N'vere Used to quell the raging element;
Being at low ebb-tide,..- tto ~aier was in the bourne,
but the firemen, Without a moment's loss of time,
proceeded to the mill-dam,, at a little distance
above fio'm the conflagration, by -uhich supply the
englikS Were enabled to play With some etre&
,upon the building. Two-thirds of the manufac-
tory being inevitably destroyed before any assist-
ance arrived, the other third, ;liter long and unwell»
rigid exertions, was etfeetually saved, The firemeri
and engines did hot leave the spot till three in the
afternoon. We have to regret that cue of the Most
naive of the tiremen nearly lost his life by a stack,
oaf chimnies bailing Upon hiM, but being I.nmedix
ately,carried to the Infirmary, there arc hopes of
hi recovery. The immense quantities of rosin,
turpentine, Sce. which were in the premises, and
which were all destroyed, presented to the eye, as
it was running from the fire, the resemblance of a
current of volcanic a ; and from its present appear-
ance among the smoking ruin 3, there is reason to
suppose that it Will pot he totally e.xtinguished for a
week.--:We learn with notch concern that no part::
of the matiulaCtOry was insured. It is but too pro-
bable' that the building was set on fire by some in-
cendiary, as a person is said to have been observed
lurking about the premises *cut An hour betbre the
fire broke out, Carrying a laiithoril and candle.
