AWFUL CALAMITY.

This morning, about sunrise, the
room 10 the Market.Housc, occupied in
the night by the waschmen, was disco
vered to be on FIRE. This extensive,
building, covered with shingles; was
soon in flames from enc end to the other,
threatening all the houses on each side
Of Market-Sqaare ; happily the houses
on the west side, being nsarly all OF
brick, and high, were unhurt; while
on the east side, the houses being low
and principally of wood, soon took lire,
and were all burned, from the intersec-
ton os Wise Water-S:reet up to Union
Street, with all the houses on the mar
row lane in the rear of the east side OF
Market-Souare. The flames then ex-
tended to Mr.. Lambs large Vendue
Store, which being Of wood, was soon
consumed; for some time the house Of
Mrs Newton checked the flames; but
their violence at length baffied ali exer-
ten, add il took IRE by blowing ap the
adjoining house, the fire was arrested
About fifteen dwellings, were burned ;
the goods and furniture were mostly
saved but much has been lost.
We hare not time to ascertain an &C.
curate state Of occurrences attendant on
this distressing occasion; the Ere GER
tainly broke out in the room as we have
stated. The loss of property is great,
in houses, goods and furniture net less
apon a moderate computation, than one
hundred thousand dollars, including the
Market House.
1t was painful to notice the state OF
our town for preparation against such a
visitation no engine or hooks. until the
mischief was done; few buckets, but
very inadequate TO the purpose required;
to all this was added want OF arrange
ment to use the means that we had,
II would be injustice 10 overlook the
extraordinary exertions of Mr.. Miles,
aud same others near him, who did eve
ry thing that few individuals could do,
and although they could not save Mrs.
Newton's house, they checked the pro-
eresSof the flames, and thus gave time
to take measures for saving numoer of
buildings.
Me- Henry of the navy, was very ac-
tive, aud by that gentleman's exertions
much was saved there. were no doubt
others to whom the citizens of the town
are indebted for their exertions, but they
did not fall under our notice.
