Feez.—An alarming fire broke out about t 2 o'clock
on Sunday night, at the hook of Mr. Lewis, a grocer.
at the lower end of Oxford-11feet, near St. Giles's. It
was mullioned by the following circumflances :—A
child of Mr. Lewis being taken fuddenly ill, a fervant
was fent down (lairs for a bottle of cordial, and it is
furpored that a fnuff of the candle which the held
fell among the flraw in which the bottle was packed.
MofI• of Mr. Lewis's family. ind all the perfons
who inhabited the adjoining hottfes, had either retir-
ed or !were retiring to reit when the accident hap-
pened, and from the rapidity with which the flames
fpread, they found much difficulty to effeet their of
cape. The fire quickly communicated with a cheek.
monger's next door. For nearly two hours the de-
RI-waive clement raged before any attempt could be
made to flop its progrefs, and the roof of the grocer's
fell in while the firemen were endeavouring to procure
water; a fupply at fall being obtained, the neceltary
affillance was afforded, and about eight o'clock yef
terday morning the fire_ was extinguilbed. No lives
have been 101 l upon this occafion, but the damages
are very confiderable ; five bottles are deftroyed, be-
fides the injury done to the premifes backwards,
which is very great : very few of the tuff are infer-
ed. The Weßminfler and St. George's Volunteers,
with that attention which has always diflinguithed
them, affembled on the fpot for the purpofe of
preventing the fufferers from being plundered, and
to afford affifiance ; much robbery however took
place previous to their arrival ; but by the vigilance
of the police officers feveral offenders were taken into
cullody ; one old woman, apparently 70 years of
age, was apprehended endeavouring to make off with
a bundle of clothes which the had fiolen from Mrs.
Rica, the milk& of one of the hooks which took
fire. She was carried before the Magifirate at Marl-
borongh-fireet, a
