A fire broke out last night in one of the rooms of a house in Zachary's Court, Walnut street. The general alacrity in hastening to the fire, prevented it, after considerable exertions, from spreading further than the room where it originated.
To alleviate the anxiety of those absent citizens, who may be apprehensive from the deserted state of the city, that there might be a want of assistance in case of fire, we take pleasure in mentioning that an ample number of citizens attended on this occasion, and that there was no want of buckets.
