(FROM TIM WATIMPOZO CVItONICLO, NOV. 11.).
We trained yesterday status with regret, through doe
marliom of gentlemen who bad ust arrived in town from
Dunmore, that, at the time, of-their leaving that glace
(about one o'clock), the. lightleotute on Hook Point, at the
Eastern side of the entrance of Waterford Harbour,- op-
peered to be on fire, the volume 'of smoke proceeding
from it extending searly aerossthe breadth uf tbe Harbour.
The Denmore pilot bookers and other bouts wets making
towards the Point, with a view to render intsistanee. ITO
to a late boar last night, we could not learn that ngjr further
account had reached town—and of course are . enable to
statethe origin of the accident. Sr the extent of the damage
done; we should hope, howeser, ewes hens. this circum-
stance that the latter has been hut trilliogas it is to he
pressi;md that, if any serious injury •haebeett sustained,
• such as would occasion the temporary suspension of the
light, it would undoubtedly have been announced by a
message from the Pilot Master at Dunmore to the Wit-
hout Domini ssioners.
Tetanal. Montrixu.—We ate happy to he able to cosfirin
,the preceding conjecture as to the limited extent of the
I damage. A person who left Dunmore this morning ia-
fangs ds, that the fire was speedily got safer, wittiest
haviogoccasioned any actions mischief, and that the light
was exhibited, last night as usual. Our informant was set
in .possessioo Of:any further particulars.
