FIR VS.—About half-past seven o'clock last night,
a fire broke nut at the house of Mr. S.si.tseettv,
ready-made clothes dealer and linen-draper, on the
west side of Fleet Market, not far from Holborn.
The back of the house was in Plumbtree-lane. So
very sudden and extensive was the conflagration at
its first appearance, that the flames issued from every
window of the first and second stories. The engines
did not arrive for more than a quarter of an hour
after the discovery of the fate, and when they came it
was with great difficulty they were supplied with wa-
ter. The house be.:ame wrapt in flamev, from the
cellar to the roof, and exhibited a terrific appearance.
The houses on each site were considered itt imminent
danger until other engines arrived, at least nine or
ten, more than water was found to supply, and most
of them played on the premises, and Ssved the al-
joining houses. Had there, however, not been strong
party walls, the adjoining houses must have been de-
stroyed. In about an hour, the house being corn
pletely gutted, the fire was kept under, so as to pre-
vent the flames communicating to any other pre-
mises. By half-past nine the tire was nearly extin-
guished. Mr. &sumer acd his family were from
home all the day, and there was no account bow the
fire originated.
A most alarming fire broke out on Wednesday
night last at the Three Crowns Tavern, Greenwich,
in the occupation of Mr. THOMAS OTTEY, who, with
his wife and child and the rest of his family,narrowly, '
escaped with their lives. We are concerned to add,
that owing to its being low water at the time, and
the difficulty of procuring the necessary assistance,
the whole was nearly destro)ed, by which distressing
occurrence six creditable domestics have lost the
whole of their apparel and their respective savings.
Tuesday night a fire broke out at Capt. Ploicron'.
Braysted, Surrey, which consumed the inte:ior
of the house and the valuable furniture, with some
cli,ice pion:rms. The family were n-t at house, nor
is it known how the fire happened. It was first dis-
covered in the kitchen. where the servants had hveti
