Malfcby and Sons , used as packing

warehouses and stables , and several other persons , one being a a cabinet-maker named Hawkes . The length of the building was about SO or 90 feet , but owing to its proximity to tbe back of the Freemasons' Tavern , apprehensions were entertained for the safety of that structure . The excitement was greatly increased by seeing that the flames had taken complete

possession of tho centre stained glass window of what was formerly the grand hall , as well as breaking through two of the windows below . Not a moment was lost in waiting for water J but in spite of the exertions of the firemen and the salvage corps , the flames were not entirely extinguished until nearly eight o ' clock . The principal part of the premises in which the

fire commenced was destroyed . The damage done to the Freemasons' Hall was not great . PORTRAIT oi ? BRO . VI ' . ROIIAINE CALIENDER , JUN ., DEP . PROV . G . M .
