DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION.

TEN HOUSES DESTROYED, BESIDES AN IM-

MENSE FACTORY.-(THIS MORNING.)

One of the most destructive fires which has occurred in the
metropolis, for some years past, broke out about two o'clock
this morning, at the south-west angle of Charterhouse-square,
and rapidly extended thence on to Charterhouse-square,
where several houses soon fell sacrifices to its fury ; at the
same time extending rearwards, it set fire to the very extensive
factory for cabinet goods, belonging to Messrs. Smith and
Nephew. This factory forms a complete quadrangle, of
great extent, three sides of which were occupied with work-
shops, some two, and others three stories high, and on the
fourth was a lofty boundary wall, with gate of entrance. The
stock here accumulated was very great, and of the most in-
flammable kind of light woods. These soon were one awful
mass of fire, shooting up flames and smoke to an amazing al-
titude, and giving a frightful grandeur to the scene of wide de-
struction. Southward of the factory, and sepztrated only by
a narrow passage is Inner Red Lion-court, containing six
brick tenements, of three stories, inhabited all by working
people. All these houses, excepting the first, are destroyed,
and even that is odiously damaged. It is some mitigation of
the calamity that the poor inhabitants in this court, were, it
is understood, able to save most of their effects. Besides this
vast amount of destruction several buildings in Red Lion-
court, and 'White Hart• Court, are greatly injured, and the
loss from hasty removals must be very great. Happily no
lives are lost, nor do we hear at present of any serious injuries.
It is painful to be compelled to state, that nearly the whole
of the terrible destruction of property that has taken place is
attributable solely to the scandalous insufficiency of water in
the mains. The engines and men of the London Fire Esta-
blishment were most promptly on the spot in great force, but
all their efforts were powerless from the want of water.
The following are the correct particulars of the names and
losses of the numerous sufferers, as carefully ascertained by
Braidwood, the Superintendent of the London Fire Establish-
ment, for transmission officially to the Insurance Offices.
