Fire In Greville-Street.
(Further particulars.) The fire is understood to have commenced in Mr. Moyes's press. roomn, on the second floor, from whence it comnmunicated to Mr. Wil.son's, on the right, but in a very partial degree; the flames then extended in tbe directioll of Leather-lane, and scon raxed with great fury I the left wing of Mfr. aoves's concern, the greater part of w-lhich wast occupied as drying.raoms, and warehouse for bosk in sheets, of which there war a large number far advanced towar(s completion: it is needless to add, all those were consumed and what enhances the lo05 is, that tny of those were autoraphs, and every line of the valuable MSS. (the labonr of years) have suffered the sarne fate. M1r. Mloyes's private library, in which were many very choice works, was also destroyed: but some of the account-books and pa- pers of moment were got outof the counting-hotse, at very LCrest personal risk. The whiole stock of types, standing formns.40 or 60 frames, a number of common presses, four hydraulic, snd twelve or fourteen Colombian and Stanhope presses, lay buried in the smokine ruins at six o'clock last evening, witen bome of theengines were still plaving. The want of a speedy supply of water is admitted on all hands to be the reason of the flames taking so wide a range. The fire was first discovered at a quarter past ten o'clock, and no wa!er coulti be had until within ten ininutes of eleven, when the fl,sors being weak. cned by the action of the lire, yielded to the immense weight of' type, iron presses, imposing-stones, &c and tumbled with a horri ble crash into one incongruous glowing rain. The intensitv of the heat preventing a near approach, the firemen could only atiempt to save those buildings around, which was only effected by the most unwearied exertions on their part. There was a considerable sum insured both by Str. Mloyes and MAr. Wilson; but we regret *to learn that it is much below the value of the property destroyed, which must exceed 30,0001. at the least. In Mr. Moyer.'s establishment, there were at least 611 persons re- gularlv engaged, including compositors, pressmen, warehousemen, err-tni.boys, &c., and in Air. Wilson's concern there could not be less than from 20 to 30; so that nearly 100 persons are thus in a moment deprired of the mearNs of earning a subsistence. Exclusive of the loss and ineonvenience arising to the proprietors themselves. this unfortunate occurrence will be long felt by the families of those por people, who at this season of the year will, perhaps, findl it dif- ncult to procure employment.
