DUBLIN, June 20.-The alarm was
.lgiven at fhe Winetavern street fire
fbaidge oIsse betyeen 8 and 9 O'Clock
On Friday night. On the brigade reach
1 IND the scene Of the outbreak, malt
|house in Chamber street was found to
be in flames. The premises are situa
tied in the very centre Of q vast range
of warehouses, and enclosed. by the
dwellings Of perhaps some Of the poor
est inhabitants Of the city. The malt
store, which belonged to Mr.. Reid, is
surrounded on all sides BY the extern
sive bonded warehouses Of Mr.. Law
less, wherein was stored about 1900
puncheons of whiskys, brandies, wines,
&c. The arrival Of the brigade was
too late, and was questionable whether
their arrival, even at much earlier
period, would have enabled them to
become masters Of the situation, as the
flames burst forth with appalling fury.
The stores caught fire in few min
utes, and from that moment all hope Of
staying the progress Of the flames was
at an end. Ont from under the doors
Of the warehouse at the southern wing
the blne-blazing liquid began to issue,
and spread. itself over the streets, run
ming along the channels and burning
everything before it.
The fire increased in intensity and
ferceness, and soon the whole block Of
buildings forming the western side Of
Chamber street and the northern side
Of Ardee street looked like a mass Of
roaring and lcaping flames, that threw
up huge forked tongues as fresh fuel
was added by the bursting Of barrels
Of liquid with which the place was
stocked. At Arlcc and Chamber streets
the house Of Mr.. Lawrence Fitzsmon,
a publican, was swallowed up in thc1
conhagration, and its quota Of inilan-
mable material added fresh energy toI
the flames. Happily, the owner. who
was an invalid, was removed from thei
house to place Of safety in good time,
but there was no time to remove fur
niture or aught Of the property.
Running along Ardcc street, and
licking the walls of the houses "a j.
passed on, the burning liquid sped
through Mill street and Chamber street
and CONSERVATION spread on every side.

sides, the chances Of escape, either for
the people Or for their houses, seemed
small indeed. 4 scene Of wilincss en-
