EXTENSIVE FLEE IN FINSBURY.—Last evening,
shortly after six o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of
Mr. Samuel Knightlev, a carpenter and builder, at 87, Paul-
street, Finsbury-square. The flames commenced in the ma-
nufactory, a brick and timber building about fifty feet long.
'l'h is place contained a vast quantity of work, some finished
and the t emainder partially so. In the course •f a few mi-
nutes the fire made roost fearful progress, completely enve-
loping the whole of the manufactory. The firemen carried
the hose of their engines into the midst of the flames, and
eventually succeeded in getting the mastery over them, but
not until Mr. kaightley's stock in trade was reduced to ashes,
the building burned down, the whole of the windows in the
private residence demolished, and considerable damage done
to the rest of the furniture and buildings by fire, water, and
hasty removal of the contents. Unfortunately the sufferer
was not insured for a single farthing.
