FIRE. AT o'clock last evening Fl re broke
out in the cooper shop of Messrs. Phinney &
jackson, on Browns wharf. Notwithstanding
the engines were prompt at the alarm, the fire
had spread through the combustible materials
In the building so that it was impossible to
save anything from it, and the efforts of the
firemen were directed to prevent the flames
from spreading to the adjoining buildings, in
which they were successful. A large quantity
OF slaves were destroyed which were piled up
outside the building All the tools in the build
ing were burned. The loss is estimated at
$500, which is fully covered by insurance at
the agency of Sterling Dow. The large ware
house of Messrs. Churchill, Brown & Manson,
on Merchants wharf, caught fire on the roof
from sparks from the cooper shop, but the
hames were quickly extinguished with few
buckets of water.
A storehouse belonging to Messrs Kendall
u Whitney, on Union wharf, also caught fire
from the sparks. A few of our gallant firemen
rushed to the spot, and with the buckets of
water extinguished the fire.
The fire is supposed to have originated from
sparks from the chimney which communicated
with some dry stuff in the attic of the build
ing. When the workmen left the shop there
were no signs of fire in the lower portion of
the building.
