A considerable time elapsed after the tire was discovered , before the alarm was giVen, and as a consequence the flames had made considerable progress before the steamers arrived. Owing to the infienimahle material in the room where the tiro originated, it sees some time before the • water, which was thrown into the building in a perfect deluge, appeared to have any effect upon the tire, and more than an beer elapsed before the flames were subdued.
