GREAT FIRE Al GREEA MICH.

(THIS DAY.)

It is many years since the inhabitants of Green-
wich have witnessed a fire of such magnitude as
happened this morning, which for hours continued
to rage, destroying in its progress property roughly
estimated at several thousand pounds sterling. The
premises in which the disaster commenced belonged
to the Messrs. J. and G. Rennie, boiler manufac-
turers, situate in Ravernsbourne-street, Greenwich.
A police-constable of the R division in going his
rounds had his attention directed to huge volumes
of smoke pouring forth from one of the factories
140 feet long, and nearly as wide, which contained
a great number of boilers partially finished, and
other valuable property. The officer knowing
that all hands had left off work felt convinced that
a fire was burning within the premises, and at
once sounded an alarm in the usual way, and
having obtained assistance he sent off for the aid of
the engines. Before, however, the news could be
communicated to the nearest station of the Metro-
politan Brigade the fire told its own tale by shoot-
ing through the different windows of the immense
building, and rising so high into the air as to prove
a far more speedy messenger of danger than the
persons despatched by the police for the same ob-
ject, and the consequence was that the firemen of
every station on the south side of the Thames
turned out with their engines, as well as Captain
Shaw with an engine from the chief station in Wat-
ling-street, so that in less than half an hour there
were six powerful land steamers, by Shand, Mason,
and Co., on the spot, and a great many manual
power ones. The mains of the Kent 'Water Works
having been drawn, it was found that the water was
supplied so scantily that it was not sufficient to
feed one half of the engines present, and, as a last
resource, some of the engines were backed to the
edge of the River Ravensbourne, but even here the
water was exceedingly scanty, and the flames in
consequence, being to a certain extent unrestrained,
lapped over and ignited another building, similarly
constructed, and exactly the same size as the one
first mentioned. No sooner did the lower part of
this factory show the least signs of fire than, as if
by magic, the whole fabric shot forth huge sheets
of flame from every part. The London Salvage
Corps, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent
Swanton and Mr. Foreman Cooper, was in-
formed that there were a large number of
boilers for her Majesty's Government in another
part of the premises, and it was feared that if the
flames should reach them that they would be de-
stroyed. The greatest care was therefore taken by
the salvers in covering over the premises, and
thereby saving the costly work which had taken
many months to bring to perfection. The firemen,
however, although they labourered under such dis-
advantages from the want of an adequate supply
of water, did the best that was possible
under the circumstances, and ran no little risk
by conveying the hose from the steamers
to the extreme ends of the buildings. Owing to
the cause above named—the want of sufficient
water—the fire could not be said to have been en-
tirely extinguished until 10 o'clock this forenoon,
nearly eight hours from the time of the outbreak.
Respecting the origin of the fire nothing that can
be depended upon can at present be learned, but
various rumours are rife in the district that some
evil-disposed person was the:cause of the mischief.
The Messrs. Rennie, it. should Le stated, were highly
respected by the :nal)), hundreds of men they
employ, and it is not likely that any of them
would do an act that would deprive tneir families
of bread during the rebuilding of the premises. The
whole of the two factories, each, as before stated,
140 feet long, have been burned out, and the costly
contents consumed. The stores, containing boilers
for the British Government, are all saved, and great
as the destruction of property has unfortunately
been the premises burnt down form only an incon-
siderable portion of the works at Greenwich, and
the business can, in conjunction with the factory at
Rolland-street,, be carried on as usual.
The buildings were insured in the Phosaix
Fire-office.

TIIE METROPOLITAN BOARD.—This Board have
of late been particularly unsuccessful. The Duke
of Buccleuch succeeds in maintaining Mr. Pollock's award
for .£8,325 ; the Park-lane Bill is a second time rejected ,
and the committee on the Thames Embankment (North
and South) Bill on the 21st ordered costs of £3OO each
against the Board to be paid to two petitioners, the Mar-
quis of Salisbury and Mr. Drummond, because they had
been (the committee report) " unreasonably subjected to
expense" by the Board,
