Serious Fire
One Saturday night one of the most alarming fires took place which has been witnessed in Cape Town for many years. The handsome stores of Messrs J.F. LONG & Co, only lately altered and enlarged, at a considerable expense, are now a smouldering mass of ruin. The fire broke out about half past 11 o’clock, and burnt so fiercely that, although there were several engines immediately on the spot, it could not be kept under, and nothing but some account books and office furniture could be saved, while the adjoining buildings were placed in imminent danger. At one time those of Messrs W.S. BRUCE & Co, and Mr. WILSON the grocer, were so much so that the Lt. Governor, who was on the spot, gave orders to pull that of the latter down, in order to arrest the progress of the fire; this was fortunately rendered unnecessary by the slight breeze that was blowing taking another direction; but owing to a want of proper management, the destruction in the removal of the property has been immense, and to a great extent quite unnecessary; indeed, had there been anyone present whose duty it was to have given proper orders, nothing belonging to either Mr. BRUCE or Mr. WILSON need have been injured – the whole, however, presented a scene of confusion that can hardly be described, counter orders were being given in various directions – a sufficient supply of water could not be obtained for all the engines; while valuable property was thrown into the streets in a most reckless manner. Both the stores and merchandise of Messrs LONG & Co were insured, but not to an extent to cover their losses. –Advertiser.

DIED at Sunday’s River near Port Elizabeth, on the 15th inst, from Apoplexy, Mr. Joseph SMITH, aged 43 years, deeply regretted.

DIED on Thursday 17th inst, after a long and painful illness, William SMITH (late of the firm W.& J. SMITH & Co, Merchants of this town) Aged 51 years. Deceased has left a Widow and five Children, and a numerous circle of Friends to mourn his irreparable loss.
