the progress Of the d-vouring element was
arrested.
Fly Market was on IRE several times.
and it was with the utmost difficulty * was
saved.
The buildings themselves which have
been destroyed were old and not of any
great value. The greatest sufferers, we
presume, are those who occupied them,
and are broke up IN their business, and put
to the inconvenience of removing.
