Frei. —Yefierday morning, about half paR five
o'clock, a fire was difcovered in the premifes of Mr.
Cope, of Ofboutne-(freer, nearly oppofite to White.
chapel Church, fugar baker. It was more of a (mo-
thering Raft +eating Crooke than open fire, and ennfe-
quently more to be dreaded, as no one could imme-
diately efcertain from whence it came. The work-
men, who are chiefly Germans, and feveral Trifle brick-
layers labourers, from an adjoining building, exerted
their mama endeavours to find cut the particular
(pot from whence the fmoke originally proceeded,
and lime of them ricked their lives in the attempt.
At length they were convinced that it originated in
the paper room, a room on the third floor where the
paper is kept Fr wrapping up the loaves (.1 (agar
when they arc cool and fit to be decsolited in the
Rose houfe, ready to be fent to fhopkeepers, or to
the wharfs for exportation. Every means that were
in the power of thefe people were tried to extinguifh
the fumes, but to no effect. A flame burn out fud-
, denly on fotne who ventured to approach too nearly
to the fource the fire, and it was with the utmolt
difficulty that they laved their lives. A great num.
her of engines very lhortly reached the (pot, and
water was plentifully had, as the main pipe runs d twit
in front of the premifes. However the fury of the
) flames increafed, in fpite of the petfevering inetuflre
' with which the men plied the engines. The file
communicated to the loaf room, the mould room, ar.d
the different pans that were full of fugar, baking. At
half pan fix, the fire made a mon awfully grand ap..
peararce. At fever o'clock the roof fell in; the cralh
which this occalinned, and the fmoke which followed,
threw the neighbours in the utmon consternation,
particularly thole in Angel alley, at the back of the
premifes, whole houfes ha .1 been dellroyed about five
years ago by a fire, which originated in the lame
manufaCtory. Before eight o'clock the flames ex•
tended to the Rote honk belonging to the fame
concern. The two then united made one raft
body of fire until pan eleven in the day, when
the principal force of the dellrudive element was
fubdued. It was found neceffary, however, to
continue the engines playing the whole day, and
even after nightfall tome ttefh blazes were oh-
ferved octafionally to (tart up. It is amazing to *A-
len?* that fcience,lo fa R, to which the firemen have
brought their art : they knew the tough unconque-
table body ct fire which they had to contend with,
and, as lung as any hope could be realonably enter.
tained, they played upon the note houfe, which is
near to Mr. Bullock's brewhoufe, and which con-
tained property to a confiderable amount. As loon
as they difcnvered that it was gone pan all remedy,
' they turned their attention to the prefervati .n of the
tea of the neighbourhood, in which they mon hap-
pily fucceeded ; the third houfe, belonging to Mr.
' Cope, was {lightly injured ; but, notwithaanding the
great length of time which the fire continued, and
the food that it had to fupport it, not a tingle neigh-
bouring houfe caught fire. The premifes were inCured
to a conaderable amount at the Royal Exchange.
Phsenix, and Imperial Fire Offices ; but it is laid
not by a good deal fo high as the valtre of the
premifes and the property which they con-
tained. The men, according to their 'dual cultom,
had been at work from two in the morning, and
from the fmoke which was at firll perceiveti, they
had fufficient notice, to that no one perfonally
injured. The Whi echapel and the Spitalfields Vo-
lunteers attended with the utmon airerity in the
, morning. and continued on duty during the whole of
yciicrday aad IxR u;glit.
