LARGE FIRE ON THE PRAYA: At 14:00 on the 12th inst. a largo glare was no ticed from the direction of the Prays, and the Ero belta rang out rapidly. It was found that s base had started in the top room of the Queen's Road side of the large block of buildings bail some months ago by Hon. CAP. Chatar, which face partially on to Pray, and partially into Jubilee Street. The buildinga had not been quite completed, and the soffolding was stil standing. With an almost bigktning-iko rapidity the damen spread along this whole top. of the first blook of houses in Jubilee Street, mising on the scaffolding and scattering the blazing polos in every direction. When the Brigades arrived the whole top had caught, sed it was some time afore the famos confi ás souched owing to the height of their hold, which could not have been less than 60 feet. A very strong sontserly wind swooping over the buildings drove the tongues of famo to a great distance, and most seriously incon- venienced the firemen at their work.. Bro, curried on both by the combustible material is plenty and, the wind ought the second floor, ard despite the most stronnsus exertions obtain- ed a firm hold, completely demolishing everything inflammable on that level. By this tiras there were ton homes playing, bat chars was no possibility of staying the farious conflagration, and the first floor soon presented the appearance of a fiery.action. furnac When this floor caught, the sight, ne vlawed from the Prays, was a magnificent on the enormous sheets of Bame shooting out from al sides of the well built brick structure, and lighting up very wide ares as if it were day while millions of sparks veco carried by the wind into the harhanr, where they fall with a bias and were extinguished, Amid this too, soffolding polea continued to fall like fire brands at the feet of the brigades, and sometimes were even shot by some taseon fores right on to the heada of the large crowds of onlookers. The third Boor of the bicek fell. with a doafering crash at 11.10, breaking through and carrying with it the burning first for aligniting several shops on the ground floor jo da instant. Imediately. this happoncit, the impossibility of saving tre block was provel beyond a doubt, and the whole force of water was sooordingly directed to war- ing the adjoining blocks on the Pesys and running along Jublion Street west of the blazing | Ladres.
