There is no fire used in the establish- ment except that used for the soldering irons. The dock was piled with several thousand barrels of pork and lard, most of which arrived yesterday, and the fi'e eco', began to burn beyond the sheds into these. The fire was cut off from extending beyond the lower half of the structure. The pork destroyed is owned by ship- pers in the West, by David Dows & Co. of this city, Cook & Co., Kent & Co., and other produce merchants. The loss of the sheds is not over $2,000, and the vain of the pork destroyed ,is variously estimated from $15,000 to $30,000, The book-keeper of the In- spector thought that $50,000 would cover all losses,. The fire, it is believed, was caused Ey the unusual rise of the tide, whieh, flooding the floor of a storehouse ad- joining containing many thousand bar - of lime. caused the lime to slack and the fire to follow. The fire was still raging at midnight, but was under ex- cellent control. The losses fall on Ne - York insurance companies, the property being fully insured. ,Apply to W.ni'.13ULLEN, Manager. or to M. Alroupw lamp, Exeter, MASON h HUDSON, Homan, JOHN. 1'Au8ONs, Orodetou.
