These mill * , with all the appurtenances attached to them , were totally consumed by fire yesterday morning . They were of very spacious construction , and belonged to Mr . Hoolditch , of Pond-street , Hampstead , bst were rented by and in the occnpa ' tion of Mr . Edward Long , miller . They stood on the west « de of Old Fort-lane , in the parish of Bow , on ; the bankrof the nver Lea . vThe appurtenances Attached to them coexisted of a dwelling-honse , kilns , atorehousea , warehouses , and other buildings ' > Ai j u W * f fi r 8 t d"C 0 TeM ^ » Pritate watchman , or Old Ford , at aboat twenty miuntes after one o clock yesterday morninfe , and the flames Hnn « ir < w 4

The progress of the flames was unusually rapid , and every one saw that the premises must be destroyed before the arrival of the are engines . It is slated , that ten minute * had not elapsed from the first discovery of the fire buwting through the ^ windows of the second floor before the whole of the tower and the several buildings attached to the mill b . came irremediably the prey of the Hre . — . ¦ r ¦ *
The first engine thafarrived was one belonging to Jtsow , bat lta keeper , Joy , plainly perceived that the tire nad made too much progress to permit of any effectual attempt to save the mills . He therefore took his engine into the yard of Messrs . George Borrodaile and Co ., felt-manufacturers , whose extensive premises are separated by a passage of onlv ten feet m width from those that wereoi ? fire ; and having procured plenty of water from a large tank , he played opon the manufactory , and thereby saved hi r ? f- ^ "y don . A poficemari oa duty on Blackfnar s-bndge was the first to give the alarm to the different London fire-engine station ? , whose men , together with Mr . Braidwood , proceeded with their usual ia the
promptoeM direction of the tire . It was fall a quarter past ; two o ' clock before they arrived on the spot , in consequence of the impossibility of ascertaining at the outset the exact locality , and when they did arriw the greater portion of the premises was irretrievably damaged . However , they socceeded in saving four dwemns :-houses adjoining the- premises . - ' . At two o'clock , when the fire was- at its greatest height , it could be seen by persons afar off in Essex and Kent , and the sails of the mill tuning round in flames , looked , at the distance of twenty miles , as if they wbre a gigantic piece of , fire-work . Some idea may be formed of the pyramidal extent of the flames , when it is known that the mitt was nearly sixty feet high . A strong gale , Mo win * from the
» . W ., hastened materially tke destraction of the premises . At half-past two o ' clock , tke timbers supporting the mill gave * way , and the wfrole fabric , sails aad all , toppled down with a fearful crash Th » hre u supposed to have been caused by increased attrition , in comequence of the late hiah winds Tb ^ property in estimated at some thouMmds , the null , kites , store-rooms , warehouse , dwelHnc . honse , and other tenements , hanng been completely ^ con-OTmed .

BOW-STREET , fl On Thursday , when the oase was . heard . Mr . I E . Cheeper , who appeared before Mr Twyfordon I Monday last , to support a summons he obtained 9 against Mr . George Glenny , managing director rf ' 9 the Roval Union Association , attended yesterday to § 1 learn from the magistratea whether any means could If be adopted to compel Mr . Glenny to pay him th » 1 the amount of his half-yearly annuity . * Mr . Bodkin , barrister , and Mr .

' n
Mr . Bodkin said , he unierstood that Mr . Twyforf 11 had adjourned the case of Mr . Cheeper for thejnvt . H pos « of considering whether he ' , as a magiatrajp , ' jfij could render that gentleman and the rest of the a ^» : H plioants any effectual assistance . It was quite cl «» r B however , that , the case waa beyond the jurisdiction E of a magistrate , and that agreeably to the 25 tlt H clause- of the Friendly Societies . Act the whofcH questio * must be referrep to » court of equity , aai ¦ that step ' having already bees very properly tabs * H by tome of the annuitants , who had brought fWH matter before ike Court of Chancery to compel Mb H Glenny and the other Member * of the society is * H furnish the whole of their books and accouo ^ H he apprebeaded that the magistrate had no power f * B interfere-in the matter which , was- now in the cooiw H of inquiry . ' " H
Mr . Twyford said , that the 28 th clause of the act ¦ gave him power to issue the summons in Aft I case of Mr ; . Cheeper against the managing dinee ^ H tor of the company , calling upon him to ihow H cause why io refuaed to pay him the amount of I his half-yearly annuity , to wbieh it was aa > H mitted he wa # fairly . entitled ; bnfr it unfortanately H appeared i » this case that them were no fmdcfl in lht > pqnvMrion < & ?
