ANOTHER FIRE IN CHARLEsToN.--A postscript
in the Charleston Courier of the 29th, dated half

Their alarm of fire aroused our citizens from their
slumbers.
The fire commenced we believe, in some out
buildings in the yard between the stores on Market
and OIL Hayne streets. At the time we reached the
spot, the flames had full possession of the store No
on Hayne street, occupied by Tanning, Tweedy
d Co., and before We left "a quarter past 81 had
communicated TO No. 5 and 1.-THE former occupied
by Kelsey & Dsas, and the latter by Messrs. Gil
lard Howell & Son
The engines were promptly at work. and at the
time we write, there is every reasonable prospect
that not than these three stores will fall prey
to the flames. 1t is uncertain whether these will
be totally destroyed, while it is possible that some
of the adjoining stores of this noble block may b.
involved in the destruction.
Four O'CIock-We are panied to say that gu
anteipations that the fire would not extend are no
realized. We learn that it has extended to.the cas-
and west No. A, occupied by Harral, Hare & Co.
and No, being now enveloped in flames, and tn
lower part of the Charleston Hotel, fronting o.
Hayne street, has also taken fire.
AT the time we go to press, clock, fears are en-
tertained that the hotel and the entire block of brio
| stores on HaVne street will be destrnned
