GREAT DESTRUCUON OF PROPEMY

THIS DAY.

This morning, at a few minutes past 5 o'clock, the
greatest excitement was caused in the neighbourhood of
Clay-corner, Shoreditch, more especially among the nume-
rous inmates of the Model Lodging-house, situate at that
spot. A fire broke out in the premises belonging to
Mr. Thorp, walking-stick manufacturer. The discovery
Iras made by a police-constable of the M division, who
gave the necessary alarm, and sent off for proper assistance.
In the course of a few minutes Conductors Kidson and
Hayward arrived with two of the Royal Society's escape;
when the conductors rushed into the model lodging-house
and aroused about 50 persons—men, women, and children
who happily succeeded in effecting a rapid retreat.
Numerous steamers by Shand,
Mason, and Co. having
arrived, under the direction of Mr. Gatehouse, the super-
intendent of the district, and a powerful body of firemen,
and the London Salvage Corps, with Mr.. Swarton, the
chief superintendent, they set to work immediately, a
plentiful supply of water having been obtained ; but during
the brief interval the fire had seized upon the whole of the
immense range of premises, and nearly a million fancy
canes, sticks, &c., showing up a light that could be seen all
over the metropolis. The first thing the firemen sought
to accomplish was the protection of the lodging-house and
the candle works. The ladder expedient was crowned
with success, both buildings being saved, but nothing
could be saved in Mr. Thorp's premises except his books,
which were fortunately deposited in one of the patent re-
fire-proof safes. The loss of property will reach to
some thousand pounds sterling. Five other fires took
place during the night, but they were not of a serious
character.
