Inquirer, says:
Two young men, members Of Hose Com.

falling Of the walls, and another belonging
to Engine "a, likewise of this city, had his
leg broken,
An act of heroism was performed during
the fire, which deserves the highest common
dation, and proves that the man who perform
ed it is cast in no ordinary model Whilst
one of the six story houses was in flames, the
startling announcement was made that a
woman was asleep in a room in the topinost
story, and that all means Of escape were cut
off BY the FIRE, The moment il came to the
ears ola gallant fellow named Carey, an Irish
sailor, belonging, to the brig Jim, of Galway,
then lying at the Brooklyn docks, he, in the
most daring manner, assembled the burning
stair case with the purpose Of rescuine her,

Meantime the stair case had fallen, and the
gallant fellows own personal safety was in
imminent danger He had no possible means
by which to leave the burning house, but to
jump to the ground, and to do that would be
to incur certain death. After gIaneing
around him, his mind was made up He
jumped through the scuttle three stories, and
through the flames to the ground Every
one expected to End him dead man The
