New-York, March 22. On Monday Morning, between 12 and I o'Clock, the Fire Engine House belonging to Schuyler's Copper Mines, at Second River, in New-Jersey, took Fire and was burnt' to the Ground, and the Works belonging to the Engine,1 which it is said cost near Ten Thousand Pounds, were destroyed. It is not known by what means the House was set on Fire, but it is conjec- tured to be by the Carelessness of one of the Workmen, who was the only Person then in the House. The Fire began below, where he acknowledges he lighted a Candle when he went to Bed in an upper Room in the second or third Story, where he was waked by the Fire, and throw- ing his Coat over his Shoulders, he ran down to the lower Floor which fell in with him, into the Flames below, but by some Means, which he does not at all remember, he got out, but is terribly burnt. It is said about 2000 Cord of Wood was likewise consumed.
