About half-past eleven on the night of the 23rd ult., fire broke out in a godown at No. 209, Settlement belonging to Mr. C. Hildebrandt and used as a store by Mors Grosser & Co.

In this, however, they wALD' successful, and after burning about an hour tho fire subsided. The goods, mostly printing paper, were, we believo, insured.
