EXETER THEATRE.—The fire at Exeter Theatre
broke out between two and three on Tuesday
morning ; several fire-engines were drawn to the spot
as speedily as possible, but before their arrival the
flames had burst through the roof, which shortly
after fell in with a tremendous crash. The interior
of the building, at this time, presented one entire
blaze from end to end, preventing the possibility of
saving a single article; and, in little more than an
hour from the first discovery of the fire, the whole
of the building was enveloped in one mass of ruins.
The flames raged with amazing fury, and the sight
was awfully grand and appalling. Large flakes of
fire were constantly ascending, which, drifted by the
wind, excited the utmost terror and alarm through
the neighbourhood: Four or live houses in St.'
Southernhax-place, situated near the Theatre, were
in the most imminent danger; to the preservation of
Close the engines were principally directed, and by
the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, and others
v.ho assisted, they were fortunately saved, as well as
the handsome building in front of the Theatre, lately
erected. The Theatre had been elegantly fitted up,
at a considerable expense, previous to the opening
this season. The loss of the Proprietors must be
very considerable, as we understand the property is
not insured to one half the amount. The state of
the Performers is deeply to be lamented, as they
have lost their dresses and other properties. A
subscription has, however, been commenced for
their relief.
