nDElnETTT FTRET

LIN EADFOL EAA6S
Between and Q o'clock ON Friday
evening last, q fire broke out in trunk
makers shop, on the north side Of Dock
street, between the bank Of the United
States and that Of Pennsylvania. II be-
ing Immediately in the neighbourhood Of
several wooden buildings occupied by
cabinet makers, carpenters, blacksmiths
and curriers', the flames soon made such
progress, in spite of every effort, as to
threaten complete destruction to that part
Of the city. Though every possible ex-
ertion was made by the citizens in gene.
raj, and particularly BY those senterprls-
ing young men who have formed them
selves into hose companies, the FIRE con-
tinued for more than two hours to in
crease with alarming raPid,ty. Atlength,
having reached Carers ally, On the
north, Third street on the west, and Co.
forth alley on the east, 1T was sifectually
checked andits progress arrested. Ow-
ing, howessS to the violence ofthe wind
from S. West, three story brick house
in Front street, at the distance of nearly
two squares, took ERE, and with the one
adjoining It was Consumed. Several
vessels on the river also took Gre, but
wire exsinguished without material in
jury.
We have not been able to ascertain
the amount Of the damage, the number
Of buildings consumed, or the names Of
the particular sufferers. 1t is supposed
that from Is to 20 dwelling houses have
been destroyed, beside great number
4 of work shops of various descriptions.
Several persons have been seriously hurt,
but, 80 far as we can learn no lives lost.
1t is said that fakes offire were carried
by the wind quite across the Delaware
to the Jersey shore in such quantities as
to render it necessary for the inhabitants
there to keep the roofs OF their houses
wet.
., 1t is remarkable that just fifteen years
ago last night the same district Of the Ct.
~ was laid in ashes by the most destruc.
tive Ere which Philadelphia had ever ex.
perienced, and this is the third conAagra-
ton which has happened in the same
spot in the month Of May. ~ ---
We cannot but congratulate our fellow
citizens on this occasion, upon the ac-
QUESTION Of the Schuylkill water. Those
who Witnessed the tremendous scene last
Right must have observed that the roofs
Of numerous buildings in various direc-
, tons were frequently on fire aud con.
siderlng the violence Of the wind, i,
would have been utterly Impossible to ar.
fest the progress of the conRagration
with what water could be supplied by the
pumps, until 1t should have reached the
Delaware and laid one fourth part OF the
city in ashes. 1t is rational to conclude,
therefore, that in this one night the city
has saved more by the use Of this water
than the whole expense ofintrodueingit.
