ALARNITNG FIRE IN Ex EITEII.—StInday morning,'
about 2 o'clock, a fire burst out in the back part
of the house belonging to Mr. From!), ''themist
and drtgist, in the North-street, Exeter, e•hicik
seemed to threaten destruction, not Only to a great
part of the buildings there situated, but to many
extenSiVe premises in the Fore-street, and Sr,
Mary Arches-strict, and which 'must inevitably
have fallen a prey to the devout ing element, had
the wind blown in that direction. The flames
quickly commtnticated to some premises occupied,
by Mr. Rowe, plasterer,
,at the back of Mr.
Frotines, and from thence to Mr. Richards's, the
George-inn ; and in less than two hours the whole
of the premises of Mr. Froom, Mr. Richards, and
those occupied by Mr. Rowe, were nearly demo-
lished. Several engines were, on the alarm of
fire being given, quickly on the spot, and with,
the firemen and inhabitants in general, exerted
themselves in a manner surpassing all belief, and
Which reflects on them every degree of pr rise
which can he bestowed on their humane exertio'is.
On its being intimated that many large casks of
sugar, oil, vinegar, &c. were in the front cellar,
many of them, regardless of danger, but Ittilv
alive to the interests of their fellow creatures in
distressed situations, qiikkly descended, and al-
most instantaneously, with the able assistance of
many in the street, immense were seen as-
cending with astonishing rapidity ; and in about
ten minutes the cellar was completely cleated of
ins cowentß. ' To the worthy Chief Magistrate,
the peace-officers, and the nfii,ers and privates of
the 71h dragoons, every prase is due ; for it is to
their sirady conduct, in conjunction Wilt the
efforts of the inhabitants assembled, that this un-
fortunate accident hail not .been attended wit, the
most direful eGcts. We cannot quit this subject
without severely reprehetnting the cobdocf of
some intti‘ i vials, who appeated to have no other
object in ,leke than pillage ; for several depre,la-
iloo;• were committed by nions'ets sit •pe
u,uetr the pr,perty snatLhed tram tile flames. We
at sorry ro teat n that Air Ftoom was insured for
WOOL ,ntly, Mr. Richards for 6501 , owl Ylr„
rugict to state, was not insured. Ii
coo)t as yet be Ascutuined how the fife miti,
