The cotton twift munufa@ory of Mefirs. 
@ates, Stevens, and Co. ear Pennyfort- 
Strect, Nottingham, was difcovered to be on 
fire, between one and two o’cleck, on Mon- 
day morning, November zo. An alarm 
was initantly fpread, but before the engincs 
eculd reach the fpot,with the necefiary afiitt- 
ance, the fire had gained fuch a head, as to- 
tally to preclude the moft diftant poffibility of 
arreiting its progrefs. Evety exertion was, 
however, made to this effet, but to no pur- 
pole, At half paftfour o'clock, the fire had 
atlamed the canta of a burning furnace, 
whenthe glarng reflections of the olaze on 
the houfes and furrounding hills fuggefted the 
mof fublime and awful ideas to the imagina- 
tion, and fuch as beggar all defcription. 
About five o'clock, the front of the edifice 
fell in with a moit tremerdous crafh; on 
which there arofe a ftupendous volume of 
fmoak and burning embers, which was car- 
ried to an immenfe diftance. The place then 
exhibited nothing but a fmoaking ruin,- with 
pieces of blazing timber, beams, &c. in the 
walls, that remained ftanding till each feti 
to the bottom in fucceffion, where it con- 
tinued burning feveral days afterwards.—lIt Is 
a coniolation, however, to add, that we have 
not te record the lofs of any lite, in the pro- 
grefs of this alarming conflagration, It ap- 
pears, that about 2000]. worth of raw cotton 
was faved. ‘The premifes were infured for 
about 10,000]. in the. Sun and Royal Ex- 
change Fire-offices ; a fum equivalent ro about 
two-thirds of the lofs a€tually fuftained.
