[FLIIITIIER PARTICULARS.]

The flames continued to rage through the
building until six o'clock this morning, when the roof, and
part of the massive machinery falling in, partly checked their
destructive progress ; but the fire was not subdued until mucla
later this morning, and, from the excessively dangerous state of
the wells still remaining, the firemen could not approach within
that distance necessary to ascertain the real state of the building.
However, during this forenoon, our informant has heard that
every Particle of property belonging to the concern is destroyed,
and the loss to the proprietors is estimated at above.l4,oool.
The present proprietors only occupied it .on lease for a certain
term of months in the year.. By this melancholy casualty
above 70 persons have been thrown out of eipploy, and . num-
tent of them, from • the loss of chests of tools, dresses,
•implements, &c.• are nearly ruined. The sad calamity had
xiearly proved destructive to the neighbourhood, and above
16 houses have been damaged, and would have been included
in the conflagration, but for the exertions of the firemen.
.Above thirty engines were at one time in full play, mostly
upon the adjoining houses. The supply of' water 'was
abundant. A detachment of the Foot Guards, under the
command of Capt. Cletnents, were on the ground, and kept. a
Clear space of great extent to enable the exertions of.the fire-
men to have full effect. This service was of much importance.
as it was computed that above one hundred thousand person s
were assembled before three o'clock, in the neighbourhood. Th e
inhabitants of the houses west of Tower-hill, and as far as Rat-
cliffe, viewed the confle:ration from the roofs of their houses,
and such was the glare of light, that the most trifling atom
could be clearly discovered on the ground. The flames assumed
the more awfultappearance of the tremendous irruption of a
volcano than the result of a common casualty. The cause o
this disastrous.occurrence is as yet mere conjecture.
