The poor man was in •.n 'hocking mangled state .7onveyed on a shutter to Al iddlesex Hospital without a proba bility of his recovery. About twelve o'clocleon Saturday 'tonight, a fire broke out at the house of Mrs. Slack, milliner and dress-mmker, No.s', Con duit-street, Sw allow -street. The flames ex tended with astonish ing rapidity, and the itcljoininw house occupied by Mr. flui ley, grocer, with a double fronted ' house, belonging to the Honour aide F. North, mere soon involved in the conflagration. The ind drove the flames towards the stables at the back of the premises, Lt by the greatest exertions they were prevented from taking bre. The height of the h.. uses precluded the pos sibility of thro - a ing water backwards, where the fire assumed a. most terrific appearance, and it was not until the firemen had conveyed water through several hnuces in Swallow-street, that the least check could be given to the de,tructi%e element. About three o'clock the ronfef Mr. North's house fell in, and the floors half consumed, descended to the parlour. Unfortunately at thin moment several firemen remained in the parlour, and they were Lovered Ly the burning ruins. With great difficulty - and resobt flea they were all extricated from their perilous situoticn, but not without dreadful braises.. Five were removed t o Mount street Workhouse, where Mr. Heary'ide attended :hem. The situLtion of these men was so deplora'•le that it was necesPary to cut ,itr their clothes. One man was carried to the. Coach and .lorsesin Conduit-street, so much h. rt, that be could not be re moved ; he is not expected to recover. The scene of confusior which en-wed in the street was peculiarly distressieg. The 1; on. F. North's house was elegantly furnished, and nearly all ;!!e furniture destroyed. Three u:nus below were appropriat-• cd to his valuable library, and the greatest exertion was made to rreserve the•books, which were thrown out at the windows :lea saved by the volunteers. Mr. Windhnm, M. P. evinced on this occasion, his zeal for literature, by affording his personal assistance. Lord Strathmore, Colonel de ('respigny, and several Gentleman did the 'same. His howl Highness the Duke of Cumberland was among the spectalors. I; was apprehended that the Conduit public house, at the cifyner of :he street, would have been consumed, but it escaped by the situation of the wind. The buildings opposite were in danger from the exces sive heat, and the engines played particularly on the house of Mr. Fox, woo Men-draper, to prevent it ''reran taking fire.— Neatly al! lite en,giars in London 'assisted ; but three houses were 7 - t.'arty ,;o v. nH..;*ore they could procure a supply of water. By six o'clock the flames were extinguished. The ire is said to have been occasioned by a spark falling among some linen white Mrs. Slack was packing up telltinery goods fur Brighton. Finding the house in flames, the females ran out, leaving the street door open, and the alarm was made by a watchman.— Four houses are destroyed in front, and two greatly damaged in Swallow -street. During the confusion, a Gentleman, who in habits a house contiguous to the scene of devastation, appeased anxious to remove his property, and a person decently dres sed stepped up to offer his assistance, lie was consequently en trusted iv it h a portmanteau, which has not since been discovered.
