~GALLANT Acr.-During the progress Of tho
fire on Thursday morning on the north side OF
Cumberland Street, and near the corner Of
Pearl, it was judged that unless the brick
house Of John True, Esq, was blown up,
nothing could save the Bradford House and the
balance of Pearl Street from destruction. The
second story Of Mr.. True's house being already
on FIRE, and cindersandcoals falling IN showers
around the door, the idea Of using gunpowder
was about to be abandoned, when Capt. Frank
L. Jones, late of the 3Oth Me-, Of this city.
seized keg of powder and fuse, dashed thro'
the flying sparks into Che house. affixed and
gnited the fuse, escaping in Just time to aroh
the explosion. The blowing up Of this house
saved all Pearl street from Cumberland street
n the Cove. and the whole of Oxford street
north. -
