FIRE dl' GREENWICH HOSPITAL.

FMITIIER PARTICULARS:—AS we stated yesterday,
tine began in, and consumed only the Infirmary;
the Hoipit,d itself was entirely out of danger. The
Infirmary was a large square building, the sides of
which contained three different tiers ot wards or cor-
ridores, besides the residences, in lta rear, of the phy-
sician and surgeon. The roof was' very thickly co.
vered with lead, and the bedsteads through the whole
of the house were of iron. The tire, which, it appears,
was quite accidental, began about one o'clock yester-
day morning, in the north-west corner of the upper
c naidor.., in one of the rooms belonging to the As-
- Int Soageon., The anartment where it began had
been for some time uninhabited ; and there being no,
stove in the fire•place, a fire was Made on the hearth,
to render the place dry and habitable. Through some
ihvastices near the hearth, the fire penetrated, and
before the least notice could be taken of it by the As-
sistant Surgeon, the beams under the floor were burning
most intensely. The alarm •was then immediately
riven, and nothing, as we understand, could exceed
an terror, the cries and groans ot the sick within
mingled with the tumult and shouting of the crowd
without. The first care of those who had assembled
to lend their assistance, was the remaval of the sick ;
and we are happy to state, that every person in the
Infirmary was brought out in safety. This was, how-
ever, a very perilous effort, as the roof had then be-
gun to barn, and the lead, as it melted, poured down
the partitions. From the attic story, the flames con-
tinued to make a destructive progress downwards, and
at three o'clock, when the engines arrived, the whole
building, with the exception of the eastern wing, and
the houses of the physician and surgeon, was one eri-
tire furnace. The iron bedsteads, red hot with the
surrounding fire, gave I kind of deepened colour to
the flame, which threw a steady, equal light over the
whole-horizon. The illuminated appearance of the
neighbouring extensive buildings, the reflected glare
from the Thames, the range of shit icing rendered
visible to an immense distance by the•brilliailt ele-
mcnt, Are described to us as a night scene the most
sublimely picturesque ; while the dangerous situation
ot those who assisted in extinguishing the tire, and
the wretched appearance of the poor vetei ans who
had just escaped its fury, must have had the interest
of real tragedy, and excited every etWaion of terror
and pity. The tire was got under about nine o'clock.
The first water that was obtained was from the pro-
prietor of a steam engine, fronting the building, but
this supply would soon have been exhausted, had net
the firemen, with their usual diligence and activity,
broke up the pavement and cut open the main-pipes,
when a most plentitul supply was pro Lured.

The following is a sketch of the plot and counter-
plot of the Tyrant Saracen and Noble Mow-, nit fitly

before him, which takes place at the conclusion of a Public Fes-
tivity, which be is giving to amuse Zulima, a Perelen of rank,
the favourite of Abdaha, a certain Moorish Chieftain, but site
being at Mt time a Captive of War, whose beauty has created
the Tyrant's breast a easvion, which the fair Zulitna rejects
with the utmost contempt. Captain Alainyard and his Crew
tipper before the Tyrant Saracen, and claim protection as Bri-
tons, which Zulinta entreats him to comply with, but through
the ilea of Inere, he secures the b:lip, and condemns the Chris-
tians, (iii violathsn of faith and solicitation) into captivity. At
this juncture a Moorish Officer arrives, and vier :ends Zulima's
reiteration to his Master, the Noble Moor, or that he will =-
