DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR PRESTONPANS. —On
Thursday morning, shortly after twelve o'clock, a fire
broke out in the linseed oil and bone dust manufactory
of Mr. David Miller, at Port Seton. It began in the
upper flat of the premises (the building consists of three
flats), while the men in charge of the work were neees-
sarily engaged on the ground floor. An alarm was im-
mediately raised, and messengers dispatched to Mussel-
burgh, and to the Edinburgh Police-office for the fire-
engines. As soon as horses were procured, Mr. Hardie
dispatched an engine from the main office, drawn by
four horses, along with eleven firemen, to the scene of
action. As the manufactory is situated close to the sea,
it was judged most expedient to run the engine at once
into deep water, ensuring thereby an inexhaustible supply.
Of course, from the length of time the fire had continued,
and the combustible nature of the stock, the flames had
made considerable progress ; but the copious and well-
directed supply of salt water from the engine succeeded
in sta) ing the fury of the conflagration, and ultimately
after two hours continuous and laborious exertion,
entirely subdued the flames, which were thus luckily
prevented from spreading to the neighbouring premises,
by which a much larger amount of valuable property
would have been destroyed. As it is, however, the
damage is very considerable—there being 750 quarters
of linseed, and six quarters of oilcake completely con-
sumed. The whole loss is estimated to amount to about
6,0001. We understand that Mr. Miller had his property
insured with the North of Scotland Insurance Company.
The glare of the conflagration was distinctly observed
on Prince's-street, a distance of ten or twelve miles.—
