Additional Particulars. 
17.—It was stated yesterday, 
that another sugar-house belong- 
ing to Mr. Constadt, adjoining 
the concern which has been de- 
stroyed by explosion, had been, 
stripped of the party-wall, and 
was in a falling condition. About 
11 o'clock last night, however, 
the ruins of the former place be- 
ing so farremoved as to permit 
an effusion of flame, the fire which 
had caught the works of the en- 
gine and boiler machinery, and 
which till then had been smother- 
ed, burst forth with irresistible 
fury. The timbers and other in- 
flammable articles strewed about 
theruins, immediately caught fire, 
and communicating to the diffe. 
rent floors of the building, the 
whole was shortly enveloped in 
flames. It would be impossible 
to describe the raging fury of the 
element; and notwithstanding 
the timely arrival of nearly twenty 
engines, which continued to pla 
throughout the night, the build- 
ing was totally demolished ; the 
interior falling into a condensed 
heap of ashes upon the ruins of. 
the first house, leaving only a

few and tottering fragments of 
the walls. 
In this additional calamity, no 
lives have been lost, nor any per- 
soninjured. The adjoining houses 
and neighbourhood have escaped 
injury, and the effects of the ex- 
plosion of water, sugar, &c. from 
the boiler and pans, dashed upon 
the adjacent buildings, and suf- 
fused thickly upon the trees in 
Wellclose-square, are the only 
additional circumstances worth 
observation. 
_ It appears that six human be- 
ings perished in the dreadful ca- 
sualty recorded yesterday. It has 
now been ascertained, that twen- 
ty-one persons were employed in 
the concern at the time; nine of 
these were taken from thence in 
a lacerated state, six have been 
recognizedas having escaped, and 
six consequently, it is concluded, 
have been suffocated. The bodies 
of three only have been discover- ; 
ed; the two that were supposed 
to have been got out of the ruins 
last night were not reached, in 
consequence of the immense heap 
of rubbish to be removed, and 
the awful interruption of the fire. 
It appears, also, that beside the 
extraordinary escape of Mr. Con- 
stadt and Mr. Hague, the engi- . 
neer, who were actually beneath 
the machinery at the moment of 
the explosion, Mr. Spear, of. 
Broad-street, and father of the 
young gentleman who perished, 
was within a few yards of the 
engine, on the lower floor, and 
hearing the explosion, ran towards 
a window, from which he was 
shortly dragged by a gentleman 
in the neighbourhood, of whom 
he instantly inquired the fate of: 
his son.
