The following is from the Liverpool Paper received
this morning, respecting the fire ; it does not appear
to be so extensive as at first apprehended : •
" Thursday afternoon, about two o'clock, a fire broke out lit
the large bonded Warehouses, known by the name of Parr's
Factory, in Suffolk-street. It is supposed to have originated
from a lighted candle which bad been used by an Excise Officer
during the day. The fire raged with great fury until the whole
stack of buildings was in flames, together with large quantities
of Colonial produce, the ashes of which flew over many streets,
although the wind was rot so strong as to cause the firing of the
neighbouring houses. About two-thirds of the range of ware-
hot.3es were destroyed."
