have agreed tothe reduction of their annul- 
_ties one-half on the rebuilding of the thea- 
ire, and:haye also come to the resclution of 
“making a deposit of 10,0001. in addition to 
the insurance-money, in order to set the 
“work in motion. .Ity;is said, that the pro- 
prietors, with the concurrence .of the tru.tees 
and new renters, have resolved, that the new 
theatre shall not be built upon too large.a 
scale; but that the size sha)! be vetween that 
of the.old theatre, and that which was built 
‘by Mr. Holland. It is in fact,intended, that 
it shall hold no’ more than 5001. and conse 
quently theexpense of conducting it,, as well 
as the erectiong will be proportionally, light. 
Qn-the ist of January, about. eleven 
o'clock at night, adreadful fire broke out in 
the premises of Mr. Pocock,.a coal. and tim- 
ber merchant, at White/riars Wharf, between 
Blackiriars-bridge and the Temple.’ Those 
extensive premises were soon. completely 
in flames, and confinued-barning antil the 
whole of their valuable: contents, consisting 
of immense piles of couls- and timber, were 
entirely consumed. The extensive range of 
stab'ing, belanging to Mr. Pocock, and seve- 
al valuable horses also, shared the same fate. 
The greatest apprehensions were.entertained 
for the houses which serround ‘the timber- 
yard, but they escaped destruction, though not 
witheut cousiderable damage. The great heat 
which this immense body of fire threw out, 
prevented the engines from approaching near 
enquzh to produce any effect....Some appre- 
hensions were eniertumed ter the Grand Junc- 
tion Canal Store-house, and, even in the In- 
_ mer Temple several engines:..were brought 
. down ta the bottem of King’s Bench Walk, 
under the ifea that the fire might - possibly 
extend to that quarter, -The fire consumed 
meat 30,000!, worth of timber, 70001. of 
which had beea landed but a few days before, 
and was not insured. Of eighteen horses, 
only seven were saved, 
A large elegant building has lately been 
completed near the west gate of the Tower, 
for excise-ofiicers, for the better accommoda- 
tion of the mercantile interest, as being con- 
tiguous to the Custom.house. The new 
Mint, to the easc of the Lower, is nearly 
completed ; from whicha grand opening is 
to be mude, to afford a view of Trinity- 
square.
