AWFUL FIRE AT THE CUSTOM-HOUSE STORES,

DUBLIN.
( From the Dublin Warder,)
Two O'CLOCK, SATURDAY MORNING.—A dreadful fire is at
this moment raging at the sugar and wine stores on the North-
wall. The flames are bursting out through the windows in tre-
mendous volumes, at the end farthest from the Quay and oppo-
site Abbey-street.
THREE o'CLocx.—Part of the roof has fallen in, and pyra-
mids of fire are bursting upwards, and waving towards the
shipping in the Liffey. The fire is extending with terrific ra-
pidity through the whole range of stores.
The gates (consisting of metal) on the several floors are red
hot. The roof is, all along the pile of building, giving way,
and the conflagration becoming more and more awful and
frightful. It is principally sugar that is burning, and there is
also a quantity of oil and tallow.
There are tire-engines in various directions, and the water-
carts are plying on every side; but how insignificat the power
of man appears on such a momentous occasion: all attempts to
extinguish the raging flames must prove a mere mockery.
The Custom-house is seen in stronger light than at brightest
noon-day. The whole city is illuminated ; but there is no time
for admiration of the beautiful and sublime. The general cry
among the assembled people is, "Do you think will the wine
and foreign spirits be inflamed in the vaults ?"
FOUR o'CLocx.—The flames have reached the whiskey stores
at the end next the North-wall. Ilere the fire islnore fright-
fully magnificent than it had been before. The shipping is
dropping down the Liffey. There have been about 200 pm-
cheons of spoils taken out and thrown into the dock. This
work is still going forward. The Lord Mayor, and Captain
Lynar, one of the High Sheriffs, have been making every exer-
tion in their power. There is now no possibility of saving any
portion of this magnificent store. 'r he only part not in progress
of destruction is the angle next the quay. All hands are at
work, clearing the whiskey out of this and throwing it into the
dock. We understand there were 51X0 puncheons.

A troop of the 14th Light Dragoons has just arrived ; de-
tachments of the 90th, 74th and 59th Regiments have been long
on the ground, and doing ail that man could do. The police
also have been very active, but vain must every attempt prove
to stay the progress of the devastating flames.
It is confidently said that at least eight hundred hogsheads
of sugar alone are consumed. The loss is the merchants' or
the insurers', as, in the King's Stores, the danger of fire is
amongst the liabilities excepted. he cost of the building is
estimated at £50,000. Untortunately, there were no partition
walls used in its construction, throughout its great length, from
north to south, and the wail that shut off the eastern spirit store
had doors in it. The roof was framed of cast and wrought iron,
but it was supported on wooden floors, and fell with them.

II ALF-PAST Fouti.—The flames have seized the S. E. Store,
and are bursting successively through its eleven windows. The
spirits are blazing on the pavement, and in whirling sheets of
flame higher than the roof. The puncheons saved from the
Store are thrown into the Dock, but so hurriedly that each
knocks heavily on that gone before, and many are burst. The
engines are useless, and are ceasing to play. The north-west
corner of the great Sugar Store.has fallen outward, and the long
eastern front of twenty-five windows threatens also. It leans
considerably outwards, and the north-east corner is split open
at the heavy parapet. All the shipping. are safe as yt t, as no
flakes are flying, and scarcely a breeze is stirring outside the
Dock walls, but there are fierce whirlwinds of dust within it and
around the tire.

FIVE o'CLocx.—The westerly wind saves the Custom-house
from the danger that would have probably befallen it, if the
breeze had set in from an opposite quarter. Several puncheons
of oil and spirits that were rolled northwards amongst the tim-
ber, are leaking rapidly with the heat. Coopers are at work
to staunch them, as they can't be rolled further, and sparks
are falling around. Some fellows have saved a bucket of
whiskey, and watchmen and ail are drinking it in teacupfuls.
Several ragged and appearentiv bardworked sailors are already
beastly drunk. The high tide has greatly facilitated the removal
of the vessels into the river. A great portion of the spirits
which flowed southward across the quay and into the river, has
taken fire, and the Liffey is a sheet of flame for half its breadth.
Six o'CLocx.—The entire eastern wing is now one mass of
flame—the roof has fallen in. The fire engines are commenc-
ing to play on the buining ruins, to aid in saving the vault-
arches from springing.
Two pieces of ordnance which had been sent for arrived a
few minutes since, when their application would be of no avail.
They were ordered to be brought back to Island-bridge.
It is fully expected that the vaults will eventually escape from
taking fire. It was impossible to drag forth from the stores,
some of the men who were employed in removing the spirit
puncheons, and became intoxicated, and it is thought have
perished in the flames.
EIGHT o'CLocx.—The flames are subdued in the front store
having nothing. left to consume or waste their fury on, save the
smouldering ruins and remnants of the vast property deposited
therein, particularly by the sugar, spice, and tallow merchants.
The loss to respectable traders is stated to be enormous; in-
deed, to such an extent, that we would not venture upon a cal-
culation. The entire of the grand range of buildings, which
was erected not many years ago, and, as we understand, as fire
proof, are reduced to a mere shell. Property to the amount of
hundreds of thousands has, we have beard, been destroyed. A
store in the rear was seized also by the fire, and in it were depo-
sited a large number of puncheons of whiskey ; of these about
80U were rescued from the devouring element and plunged into
the docks, from 30 to 50 being left remaining: with the latter
the fire shortly came in contact, and a crimson blaze, dark,
smoky, and murky, quickly revealed itself in the sky above the
premises. A party of horse-artillery were in attendance with
two field-pieces, destined to fire on the parts of the walls between
the burning and the others; but their services were not deemed
requisite to be carried into execution.

SOMETHING VERT QUEER.—In a late number of this paper
we took occasion to tell a very small story respecting "a wee
laddie," who, while pulling or weeding thistles in the parish of
Torthorwald, observed something glittering, and grubbed or
pulled up a beautiful Roman coin, of the reign of Trajan.
Very well: our paragraph, as we suppose, was copied, and in
this way met the eye of the hawks of the Exchequer. And
what does the reader suppose has been the result? Why no-
thing short of an order on the Sheriff of this county, to pass,
in all state and formality, to the spot, and confiscate the wee
laddie's interest in the coin—value, we shall say, intrinsic,
about 14s. Anything more shabby and contemptible never yet
occurred in our experience; andour own not ion is, that "this med-
dling," if inquired into, would be found to have arisen entirely
from some underling who has at least "a blink of the value of
coins," and wishes to possess himself of the one in question
most imprOperly, under the specious title I f Treasurer's Trove to
Hii AfaleSty. The Majeity! "NVllttt will t 1 ', thing be accounted
for, and form en honest item in the 'Frew try ACcounts? Tb.
