ALARMING NORTIIGATE STREET, FIER-
TER.-A heavy calamity occurred on Sunday morn-
big lest, which has caused the greatest consternation
and confusion in Exeter. About two o'clock in the

morning, a fire burst nut in the hark part of the
house belonging to Mr. Fromm, chemist end druggist,
in the North.street of that lily, b% Well threatened de•
'traction tint only to a great part of the buildings
there situated, but to many extensive premises in
Fore street, and St. Mary Arches.street, and which
most inevitable have fallen a prey to the devouring
element, bad the wind blown in that. direction.—
The conflagration, for SOMA time, raged with incon-
ceivable fury ; and the most alarming consequences
were apprehended from the explosion of various ar-
ticles used in the chemical department. The flames
quickly communicated to some premises occopied by
Mr. Rowe, plasterer, at the back of Mr. Froom's,
and from thence to Mr. Richards', thr George lon ;
cod, we are sorry to observe, in less than two hours.
the whole of these premises (Mr. Froom'a, Mr.
Richards,' and those occupied by Mr. Rowe) were
nearly demolished. Mr. Fromm was insured for
10001. only, Mr. Richards fur 6501. and Mr. Rowe
was not insured.
