sugar works Of Messrs Bralker, in Harrington,
in a heap of ruins. Last night, abouth hall pasI
six. an alarm Of fire was raised, flames betng
observed to dan from the top Of the building
occupied by Messrs MAIZE and Sons, sugar
rehners, in Bachelor street, Dale street. The
building is seven stories high exclusive OF the
cellar, and al floor after floor burst through,
the flames roaring like mighty torrent, rose
TO an immense height, threatening destrnc"
ton to every building in the immediate neigh
borhood. Explosions occasionally took place
and were followed by the emission OF dense
masses of smoke, against which the poor tire
men struggled with more than prudent per-
severance.


The whole of the streets for some distance
were lighted up as noon day. The face Of the
Exchange clock appeared as if illuminated,
and even in Lord street the reflection of the
flames was visible. The poor people who re-
side in the locality were much frightened, and
for length Of time were busy in removing
their furniture, bedding, &c., amidst scene
of utmost confusion and the cries and agita-
ton Of despairing people. The building
and machinery cost 100000. Both are totally
destroyed. Taking it, however, at half that
sum and calculating the stock at .f40, ,000-
which we believe is pretty near the mark--it
will require f60, 900 to cover the loss, inde-
pendent Of the destruction of the furniture of
the poor people and the loss 10 workmen Gone
hundred IN number who will be thrown out
of employment.


We understand The premises, stock, and ma
chinery, were fully insured. No cause has yet
transpired for the accident. We are glad 10
say, that although the space allowed for the
operations Of the fremen, &c.. was very aar-
row, no casualty occurred. Mr. Maize was
in attendance, and displayed praiseworlhy con-
sideration of the poor fellows who were risk
ing their lives in preserving property.
