buildings were buret-isiern„ hesidei several breweries,
the stud of the province, the riding-school, and the lira.
versdorff academy.
firocanotat, Jura 14.—According to the investi
tiou which bee been made of the cause of the late dr
ful fire in this city. it seems to have begun in an
building near to a sugar relining house ; and there is
reason to suppose that some sparks from this latter must
have been the real cause of the disaster.
Joss 18.—The official journal of yesterday contains
an account of the fire of the 12th ; and adds, that on the
14th a fire broke oat iiManklagers-street, from the care-
lessness of a workman, who was using tar, by which a
house was burnt down. The workman is arrested, and
will be brought to justice.
The official account of the fire which brolte out on the
12th at Nordkioping, attended by a terrible storm, states
that 448 houses were burnt, and 3,318 persons (nut in-
'eluding the little children) are without shelter. Five or
six persons, and a quantity of cattle, perished. A waga•
sine of the Crown, with 3,466 barrels of corn, was de-
lamed. About a third of that handsome town is reduced
to a heap of ruins.
His Majesty has sent an officer of the Treasury with
10,1100 rig dollars bauco, to Norilitiopiog, to relieve the
most urgent wants of the•sufferers by the fire.
Dow:trot CONFLAGRATIJN..-..AbOtli two o'clock in
the afternoon of Sunday last, a fire broke out in Whit-
stable. It commenced at a storehouse adjoining the
dwelling-house of Mr. G Inn, at the western end of the
place on the sea-wall, and (the roof being composed of
thatch, and the other part of wood) the whole was, in
a short time, a body of fire; the wind, which at the mo-
ment, blew strong from the west, scattering the battl-
ing embers along the whole line of the sea-beach. On
the alarm being given, numbers of the inhabitant bas-
mood to the spot, as also the office's and seamen of the
blockade service. stationed on that part of the coast;
and, while engaged is endeavouring to arrest the pro-
gress of the flames, it was perceived that a storehouse
belonging to doveinuient, on the sea-wall, at the eas-
tern extremity of the place, at least a quarter of a mile
distant from where the fire originated, was also in
flames. In the mean time, the conflagration sprea•l
from the storehouse, above mentioned, to the dwelling-
house, boat-builder's shop, and other buildings of the
late Mr. Peter Tali ; and from thence, along the wall.
to several small store and boat houses, both upon the
beach, and within the wall, till it reached a large
building with a barn and stable, belonging to Mr.
W. Ededden; all of which being built of wood
and other combustible maierials, yielded successively
to its fury. At five o'clock, when the fire was sub-
dued, the spectacle was that of a scene of smoking
ruins towards the sea, from one extremity of the place
to the other; while in the street there was scarcely a
house on the left side, out of which the furniture was
not removed. The total of buildings destroyed is
forty-six. via. nine dwelling houses, four boat-build-
ers' situps, and thirty three store-houses, and rely
many others were partially injured. The estimate of
the loss and damage of buildings and furniture, front
the most moderate calculation, will amount to nearly
7,0001. Of which stun, little more than 1,1001. is in-
sured ; but the most serious deprivation is that of the
pour dredgertneu, many of whose boats, with their
nets and materials, were burnt in their different store-
houses, so that they are absolutely deprived of the
means of ob:aitting a livelihood.—(Kratiah Gazette.)
