TERRIBLE FIRE AND PROBABLE LOS

OF Lll7_,L—This Day.

About seven o'clock this morning a fire of a wort
rapidly destructive nature, and which, it is feared,
will be atten led with loss of life, occurred at the
premises of Mr. George Mattocks, French polisher,
in a large way of business, Portland-street, Sy.
James's.

is
It appears that some short time after the men
Mr. Mattocks' employ commenced work a barrel of
methylated spirit by some means or other became
ignited, and an explosion immediately following,
the whole place in a few minutes was on fire, the
flames darting from the back warehouse where the
calamity originated through the house with such in-
tensity that a number of houses in the opposite side
of the street were greatly damaged, some houses to
such an extent that they were obliged to be closed.

Mr. Mattocks' premises were situated at the cor-
ner of a gateway, and extended some distance down
the yard, the whole of the lower portion of thou'
being used for trade purposes.
Immediately after the alarm of fire was given
the police went for the engines, and four of the
land steam engines were promptly in attendance,
And the flames were extinguished, but not till the
whole of the premises were burnt out, the fire
lasting little more than half au hour.
Four persons, namely, Mr. George Mattocks,
the proprietor of the premises; Edward Walters,
of Green-street, Little Pulteney-street ; Edward
Monument, of Union-street, Middlesex Hospital ;
and John May, of Clystone-street, were more of
less injured by burning, and taken to the Middlo-
sex Hospital where they were immediately attended
to, but the poor fellow Walters is in such a preca-
rious state that his life is despaired of.
Some lives were saved by the police by mono of

ladders.
A body of the C division of police, under the
superintendence of Inspectors Harrison and nasQui
rendered great assistance to the police.
It is a fortunate circumstance that the flames
were prevented from entering a store house opposite
Mr. Mattocks' back warehouse, in which a large
quantity of varnish and other inflammable mate-
rials are stored. We believe Mr. Mattocks is ia•
cured.
