-A great fire broke out at Mr. Cruzett’s, a carver and gilder, in Great Titchfield-street, which spread with irresistible violence, and communicated to several houses in Mortimer street, Wells-street, and Great Portland-street, and before it could be subdued between 20 and 30 houses were reduced to ashes, including Stodart’s pianoforte manufactory, a timber yard, St. Margaret’s chapel, and Varley’s picture gallery, in which were consumed many fine works of art; no lives were lost, but the destruction of property was estimated at upwards of 200,000l.\\
