would have received serious injury. AS

ny's works. The building was large and sub
slanJial. being built Of brick. Besides he foun.
dry, there wcrc four frame houses, occupied by
the wUrkmcn nf SIR. Nicholson, which were
entirely destroyed, and very lijlle Of the furni-
Iurc saved from them. The extensive stock OF
patterns was burnt up, excepting a very few,
which were saved at imminent risk. To show
the amount Of patterns which must have been
piled up in the pattern rooms, we may state that
on visiting The place, yesterday morning. the
floors were literally covered with nails, which
had been used in making the patterns, and we're
piled up far above the ashes. In fact, to look
on the spot. one might think it had been show
oring nails for a week. The heat was so ex-
cessive, that in some instances metal pots were
melted. There was a large concourse of peo-
pie both on the bank Immediately above the
fire, and below. in Second street, but, the flames
spread with such rapidly as TO prevent the pos.
sibility OF doing any thing to save the properly.
Al the time the fire was at its height, the steam.
er Atlantic was in the first lock--a position
exceedingly dangerous-but she escaped un-
scahed.
We are sorry to have to report that in pulling
down parl Of one Of the pattern rooms. Mr..
u. Scott, engaged at Wilson, German, tS. Co. 5
Chandlcry, had the misfortune TO have his right
leg broken, Immediately above the ankle. Mr..
Scout was a fireman, and in company with some
other gentlemen had succeeded in fixing a rope
10 a corner Of one Of these rooms 10 pull il
down, so as tu prevent the spread OF the fire.
The building came down more easily than was
expected, and the whole party were precipitat-
ed down bank failing upon each olher. Mr..
Scott was carried on a seuee to house in the
neighborhood where his case was promptly at.
tended to, and we hear he is doing well. We
have heard various estimates as 10 the amount
Of loss sustained-some say lhirty-some forty
thousand dollars, The patterns alone we're es-
tmated at twenty thousand dollars. The build.
ings were all entirely DESTROYED. We are in.
formed that there was an insurance on this pro.
