Fins.--Yesterday, about five o'clock in the af-
ternoon, an alarming fire broke out at a tallow-
chandler's, ih King-street, near Golden-square,
which at first raged with great fury: No water
was in the first instance at hand, and only two
engines could be got. Communicating to a stable
at the back, the flames gathered forte from the
hay and straw, the tallow-chandler's was entirely
burnt down, and two other houses much da-
maged. No lives, however, were lost. About
nine o'clock the flames were quite got tinder.
