FIRE.-About o'clock last night an alarm of
FIRE proceeded from basement in Little Market
field street. On the arrival of the engines, how
ever, the fire appeared to have exhausted itself
among some rubbish, producing great body of
smoke, but no loss whatever. We regret to add
that two fremen were run over by an engine, and
much injured--one of them, attached to No 81,
so dangerously that fears arc entertained he will
not survive.
KILLED BY FIRE ENetNE.-Yesterday after
noon an alarm of fire was made and the direction
was Up town. Engine company No. So, while be-
ins propelled up Springstreet ran over lad about
IA years of age, named Theodore Mackey, whose
