'twitted, two explosions took place, and four persons, in the act ed breaking in the windows of the house, were dreadfully L u rt. Two of these persons received a blast of powder in the face, and were knocked senseless among the tumbling bricks and timber. They were, however, immediately taken mit, and conveyed to the hospital. One man only, we understand ; is in a dangerous state. The tire burned with incredible flay fur several honrs, and notwithstanding, the persevering exertions of the firemen, inhabitants, and sever al other periwigs it WaS no,t entirely subdued until a late hour on Sa tneday morn; :le, when no less than ft houses were reduced to a heap of ashes.
