GREAT PIKE IN THE BOROUGH. DEATH OP MR. BRAIDWOOD. It is our painful duty this morning, not to give the frit intimation to our readers—for there must be few perms residing within twenty miles of Loudon who have act themselves been eye-warms, to the fact—but Weep ley the melancholy particulars of the greatest and most I destrustive fire which has occurred in this vast metropolis within the memory of any liviag person. Net oely has pro ; Petty to so incalculable amount fallen • prey to its fury, but at least ono life, and that • most lora , sable one, has Leen menaced while in the execution of a duty, during the 14110413, intrepid, and intelligent dis charge of which for many years he has saved innumerable live* and rescued from destruction property to an amount which it is beyond the human mind to estimate—we refer to Mr. Braidwood, the reprints:Went of the Fire Brigade. We gather from the many sad voluminous accounts which have ems to band the following details of this melancholy catastmlis :—At four o'clock on Saturday afterooon some of the kbenms employed at the extensive wharfs and wewshame known as Cotton's Wharf and Depot, Tooley iamb Loadires-bridge, discovered a quantity of smoke kielig ben • warehouse immediately over the eountiog beam ; they immediately obtained • ladder, and hewing sessoded to the place, foetid • mass of loneuldiorlag he. Some buckets of water were at me sent for, but before their arrival the beet became so intense that the men were compelled to domed the ladders to weld seilseskee. la .a tow ainatios the inentiosse sod M• esalmate were in flames. Upraises were seat off immedi ately for the Brigade minxes and the floating engines. The Liter on their arrival were unable to get into play for want et sufficient water, it being, unfortunately, almost low water. By the time the brigade engines lied arrived no fewer than eight of the large warehouses in the depot were burning furiously. It being evident to the firemen that nothing could save either that portion of the building or Be contents, their efforts were at ones directed to the remaining portions of the premises, on which • emitinuous stream of water was poured. All, however, was in vain; warehouse after warehouse ignited. tad were, with their contcuta, totally destroyed. At this period a fresh wind sprang up, and the flames speedily caught hold of vast portions of the premises occupied by the line of ficovell and Co., in which was stored • vast amount of property of all descriptions, small portions of which had been previously removed. About this time, nearly seven o'clock in the evening. Mr. Braidwood down one of the approaches to the river from Tooley.atreet, l between the east cud west parts of the wharf, and stopped nearly half way down to give some directions to a boilT of firemen who were there, when a sudden and trio nlsodoes explosion took plus, shlking the already tottering walls which at this spot were of gr oat height. A cry was raised of "Bun, the wall is fa ll ing but less time than it took to my the words the wall „ le bulging out in the middle fell a heap of rains into the roadway, burying beneath the Wiwi. Mr. Braidwood, and several other persons who had sot time to make their amps. One of the firemen made a gasp as Mr. Brentwood as he was springing from the spot, but the heavy meows of burning bricks tole him away, and ie • mood be lay buried under at least 13 feet of burning brickwork, and any attempt to rescue, or even to recover the body, or whet might remain of it, we. quite impassible. Mr. Scott, of Ilemellotreet, Bermondsey, is, it is said, misamg, sad as he was seen talking to Mr. Breidwood, it Is feared he has shared the same fate. It is also stated that several other persons who were about that spot are also minim ; but nothing positive can be ascertained until the ruins're aufliciestly cooled and sate to make the ry search. It was mem ascert•iued that the cause of the explosion arose front • quantity of salt petre stowed away m one of the large vaults, over which Mr. Breidwood wee standing at the time. It is stated that at the time of the fire breaking out there were upwards of 2,000 tons in the vaults, and repeated exploannis took place during the evening. The flames still kept on, defying ell attempts to stay them, and at nine o'clock attacked Chaco berkin's Wharf and the large granaries of Mr. Irons, ad joining St. Olive's Church • these were speedil redwood to ashes. Moored to the wh arf were several so tilled with barrels of oil, tar, lied tallow ; sod attempts were mad* to float them into the middle of the stream by the aid of steamtugs, but in vain ; the tide being still very low, these io their turn caught fire, and io a short space of time were beret down to the water's edge, their cargos. floating out blazing into the river. The scene now almost battler descriptiou blazing banels of tar floating hi a line along the banks of the liver about a quarter of a mile in length and see hundred yards across ; and it might thus be literally rid the Thames was on fire, for the whole of this extent cd epos was one blase, forming as it one • eemphole fringe of dame twenty feet high to the Maki wharfs and warehouses on the shore behind it. Fortniately at this time the wind shifted, or et. Olive's Church and Fanning's Wharf must inevitably hen hem destroyed. The wind now carried the flatus iu ea ustorly direction, and about 12 o'clock the wharfs of Mime. Kay, Daisy, Boatel and Ellis, and Humphrey sue cessiest caught fire, and were speedily enveloped in flames. Many Week of tallow were in the warehouses of these premises, the greatest portion of which were de stroyed, sad the inflammable nature of the contents of which added to the ate city of the conflagration. The tire now took a taro in the direction of Tooley-street ; the branch Custom-boom soon fell, and the back portions of the premier ef Memo. thing and Page, Stothard, Chaf fey, Hichaidosa, May, Vim and Co., were completel de stroyed. At eel** en Sunday morning at was ev ident that no assent of labour or water could save any af the premises then ca fire, and the eagiass were set to work to play on those premises in the limediste neighbourhood yet uninjured. At three o'clock the firemen were able to pronounce that the further pia stew of the fire was stayed, and that it would not, unless ander unforeseen circumstances, extend beyond its then limits. An immense body of fire was still raging over the rains, and explosions of combustibles were continually rides pro* The length of the tire on the river banks was nearly a garter of a mile., extending from St. Olave's Chunk down to Lie-lane, or Battle Bridge-stairs, where Bears Wharf is *Wed, and being divided by a dock or meek from Humphrey's new wharf, the last one destroyed, form the eastern boundary of the fire. The depth of grimed cowered with the ruins of this destruc tive orsifingration. from the houses in Tooley-street to the river fruitage of the late wharfs, is about 300 yarda, the whole of this large space, both in length and depth, being ono hags masa of burning ruins. The engines of the smith Eastern and Brighton Com panies were occupied the whole evening in playing upon that portion of the terminus facing 'fooley-street, which at times was in great &agar. Owing to the approaches to the tr inities being blocked up by the people, it was with great dif ficulty the passengers for the various trains made their way to the booking-office ; indeed for two or three hours the traffic was almost wholly s and the last train did sot leave the station un after 2 o'clock on Sunday neormug. On visiting the scene of destruction last evening at 8 o'clock, the smoke was nsiog up in thick columns from the smuuklenng ruins, and from the vaults large bodies of flame were continually bunting forth, reudtr Mg it necessary for the firemen to keep a portion of the engines continually at work. It appears that under one portion of the ruins of what was on Satur day morning Cotton's wharf, is a vault containing 70u tons of sulphur end saltpetre, covered over with an asphaltel flooring. The firemen last night momentarily expected an explosion from this source, as they had ascertained the fire was penetrating through the as Nearly the whole of the fire brigade had been on duty from the commence ment of the fire on Saturday afternoon, and last evening were anxiously looking for relief, being almost worn out with the OXelleliVO fatigue they had undergone. The news of this great fire spread with the utmost, rapidity over the metropolis. Indeed the fire was plainly visible at Hampstead, and even greater distances, while it was yet daylight, and when it grew dusk one of the most extraordinary scenes that London ever produced was wit- Deemed. From all quarters of the metropolis the people came pouring, on foot, in omnibus. cab, pleasure van, chaise, town carts, waggons, dre , all converging towards Londoe.brill e. At 9 o'clock, and from that hour until long after midn' t, London-bridge rid the approaches thereto marled theappearatiosof the Epeom roadon • Derby day. Car were plying backwards and forwards on the bridge, canying an uuliznited number of passengers on the roof, at 6d. per head Omnibuses, licensed to carry 14 outside, were conveying double that number at 2d. and 3d. each, and the hest view of the full extent of the great calamity being obtained from this source, vast numbers of persons occupied the whole of their time in thus passing to and fro. The purge over the bridge, owing to the pathway being entirely blocked by spectator, and the roadway nearly so, occupied about 20 minutes, thus affording the occupants of I these elevated positions an excellent opportunity of viewing the scene. The railway terminus and its approaches, from i which a good viewof what msy be termed the back portion of the fire, although equal in its intensity and grandeur, could be obtained, was filled with a dame trues of people, rendering it almost impossible for the persevere to obtain egress to or from the trains, which, accordingly, were running at all aorta of times except those specified on the bills. No blame an, however, be attached to the railway officials, as they did everything in their power to obviate the inconvenience. On the Middlesex side of the Thames, the Custom.house. sway, 'Margate Market, the various private quays, the 7/l arner. the roof of the Coal Exchange, and every availa ble place from which a sight could be ha d,: was filled with and the stroog reflection from the burning meal on people, opposite side of the river on their eager and upturned faces, presented a most singular appearance to the r?Ktator at a distance. For miles round every building LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1861. of prominence Mood oat in hold relief by the strong light thrown upon them. The River Thames, however, presented the most singular appearance of all, as on its bosom the reflection from the flames and smoke threw itself into every shape and colour—now an inky black when the ' columns of smoke hung over it ; then like • sheet of silver, 1 when the moon, in combination with the fl ames from the saltpetre sulphur and ltpetre explosions, threw its rays on the waif; and again, as some fresh victim was caught by the devouring element and the red flame rushed high up in the ' air, shining like a plate of burnished gold. Boats and craft of every description were moving up and down in hundreds, 1 giving to the whole scene an appearance of • grand aquatic Mtn with fi reworks. About 10 o'clock, am the evening wore on, and It became apparent that the fire would burn on through the night, itio•rent vendors of gingerbeer, fruit, cakes, coffee, and all the various articles that form the stock-in•trade of the Lon don costerrnonger, began to range theuselvee elm the pavements, and a brisk trade wee carried on, especially alter the public-Louses lied closed, merry of which, however, taking advantage ot,the occasion, kept open door all night. The scene continued without intermissioe until after three o'clock yesterday morning, at which hour thousands of people were still congregated on the bridge and in its neigh bourhood. Any one who Gould have shut hie eyes to the calamity that was raging a few yards from him, would easily have imagined himself in the presence of a great national fete. It is due, however, to the people to state that there was but little of that boisterous revelry which would naturally accompany such am ummice, but that every one aeared to be toned down into beriottosess by the awful aid terrible destruction of life and property which was taking place before him. During the whole of yesterday, up to a late Lour at night, London-bridge, Billinpgate, the Custom-house .4.l9t,_and all the approaches to the fire where the slightest i!pLore of it maid be obtained, were crowded with spec- The following is another account of the manner in which Mr. Braidwood met his death : —About ballast seven o'clock he entered the gateway leading to the wharf neared St. Olave's Church, and proceeded down the avenue, where four of his men were supporting and directing two branches , 1 from the floating engine. By this time the warehouse in which the fire commenced was gutted, but the enormous stock of tallow which bad bun stowed in the lower floors caused the flame■ to rise to • considerable height. At in tervals there were loud reports as if from the explosioe of carboys or barrels of oil, but at the time it did not excite anypttparticular alarm, as the foreman of the wharf had the firemen that those warehouses contained no ex plosive material, such as saltpetre, but admitted that there was • large stock in another part of the wharf. The police, who by this time had got command of the thoroughfares leading to the wharf, had cleared this western gateway or avenue, and with the exception of the firemen, there wine only a few penons standing by. Mr. Braidwood, who had whited the men several tames previously, seeing the dis tressed state they were in from the intones heat and their great exertions, called his attendants and gave each of them a nip" of brandy. Suddenly a terrific explosion occurred. loan instant it was seen that the whole of the frontage of the second warehouse was coming down, falling outwards into the avenue. Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the southern district of the brigade, who was standing within a few paces of Mr. Bnadwood, shouted for them , ' all to tun." The men dropped their breeches. Two with Mr. Henderson escaped by the hoot gateway, and the other men ran in the opposite direction oar to the wharf, where they jumped into the river. Mr. Braidwood made an effort to follow Mr. Henderson, but he was struck down by the upper part of the wall and buried beneath sans tons of brickwork. His death must have been instantaneous. Several of his men would have rushed to extricate him, and indeed some did so, hopeless as the task was, but another explosion happening caused the men to fly in great terror. The sad fate of this gentleman hail • most depressing effect upon all who witnessed it. The writer of this account authoritatively states that Mr. Braidwood is the only member of the fire brigade force who has perished, all the men having answered to the roll. At one period the two powerful steam floating engines were compelled to be hauled away, in consequence of the flaming matter which poured over the wharf wall, and co vered the surface el the river the whole length of the burning warehouses. As it was, they had lost a large quail. tity of hose by the wa lls being blown down. The two steam land engines, built for the bit pde by Shand and Mason, were working vigo rously in Tooley-street, but the overpoweriug beat preveated the men approaching the ruin near enough to be of any prettied service ; indeed the duty was fraught with great danger, and they were very properly called off. The whole of the carriage war of Tooleyetreet was ankle deep in hot oil end tallow v whisk flowed in all directions from the wereboase, and the fear was that it would by seine ma. fortune be brought into contact with turpentine, and get ignited. At this ensis Mr. Henderson, on whom the re. sponaible duty of directing the operations of the brigade had devolved, had a consultation with Mr. logo, another of the principal officers of the brigade, as to wh at course was best to be followed. Remaniable as it may seem, there was not a single representative present of the direc tor. of the insurance offices fo rming rming the committees who have the numagement of the brigsak. Mr. Henderson at once deemed it advisable to telegraph to the authorities at Deptford and Woolwich dockyards, soliciting aid from thee, establishments, and that their floating engines might be towed up with all expedition. The writer understood that the engines from Deptford dockyard were despatched, but with regard to Woolwich no notice was taken of the appeal. The St. Katharine and London Dock Companies at once sent their floating engines, but the conduct of the authorities at the lower, where there is • powerful army of engines, bore a strange contrast, for not the least assistance was tendered. About this time Sir ltichard Mayne, the chief commissioner of police, arrival, and wishing to see the chief officer of the brigade, ittioird if there was any one who would take the responsibility of blowing up the buildings with a view of preventing the fire extending any further. He was informed that the brigade declined undertaking such responsibility, but that he (Sir Ricluirt)as the representativeof the civil power might do so upon his own responsibility. The commissioner, however, &grimed to act, leaving the brigade to "perform theirduty." Wean informed that the government were apprised of the ealensity, but beyond • very strong body of police no farth er aid was rendered. Late last evening Mr. Henderson completed • rough re port of the extent of the property cketroyed forth' guidance of the fire offices, but it will be several days before an acou rate list of the eufferers and the contenta of the different warehouses and the insurance companyies interested can be given. It is scarcely neeessery to say that nearly every office in the country is concerned, the principal being the chief London offices. The total amount of the damage his been variously estimated. It lee been computed at as much as three millions, but we merely give this as • conjecture. Anxious inquiries were made throughout the day as to whether the remains of Mr. Braidwood had been recovered. At present it a impossible to reach the spot where the un fortunate gentleman fell, and from the immense fire which encircles the place it is doubtful whether any attempts can be made for several days, and even then it rt feared that little will be found of him except the metal work of his accoutrements, and some gold which he had in hie pockets. The melancholy death of Mr. Braidwood, the respected chief of the brigade, has produced • profound feeling of re gret amongst all cleanse. He was highly respected by a very large circle of fneads, and his sad end has excited much grief amongst his men. He was appointed superintendent of the Loudon Fire Brigade as its establishment in 18:13, and it was through ha ability and unwearied exertions that the force' attained the efficiency which now so prominently distin , (sashes it. On all matters affecting the security of the so . vernment sod other public buildings he was consulted by the authorities, and of late years he held an appointment from government as • kind of superintending inspector of the royal palaces and various public establishments with reference to their protection from fire. He was conspicuous for watching over the movements of his nee when they were likely to be placed in any great peril, and be would not permit his nun to take up a poeition or to enter any place unless he was satisfied that they were not exposed to any unuecoaery risk. lie was in his elat year, sa has left a widow and six children to lament his sad loss. He was a member of amend scientific institutions. The Rev. Dr. Cumming in the course of his sermon yes tonlay, at his church, in Crown-oourt, referred to the death of Mr. Braidwood, who he observed had been upwards of lb years pest a mentor of his contregation. Dr. Cumming stated that Mr. Braidwood had fur many years been • lead ing and influential member of the various educational and benevolent committees connected with his church ; that he was marked in all his opinions and suggestions by so ordi nary good sense, devotedness, and enemy, and that to his wisdom and discretion he owed much of the success that had crowned his exertions. The rev. doctor remarked that of all the men he ever met, Mr. Braidwood was the most practical, aelf-denying, and disinterested. He had known him spend two days in investigating the elements of a difference between two good men an the same committee, and rejoicing with no ordinary delight o• finding, or rather cresting • happy " issue out of alb" His was real genius, whether in dealing with • material conflagration or a moral dispute. Patieuce, forbearance, rich common sense, and a general sympathy that endeared him to all, induced Dr. Cumming to state that he had lost no common ally on account of his numerous and suoceuful efforts to do goad—for these were the dis tinguishiug excellencies of hi, friend. Dr. Cumming mid he felt his sudden removal no ordinary calamity to his flock, his Scottish countrymen, and his labours as a Christian pastor; " but," said the preacher, "he died on the post of duty, and whether it was the battle-field, or at the bead of the Sr. brigade, the holiest place on earth on which to live or die was not on encaustic soil or on tesselated pavement, but at the poet of duty." Between 10 and 11 o'clock last night the flames broke out with great violence along the whole range of the rains, rendering it neoessary to bring the engines into requisition once more. Although an immense body of wider was poured on the flames they remained unsubdued, and at 12 o'clock a large block of dwelling-houses in Tooley-street, abutting on Cotton's-wharf, and which escaped on Saturday evening, were menaced with destruction, and it was only by great exertion on the part of the firemen, aided by the wind blowing on to the water that they were enabled to save them. Repeated explosions have taken place during the night, and the firemen are working in great danger from the state of the vaults, and the repeated shocks by the explosions. Several men are at thin moment down in the vaults, which run under the street a considerable distance, with ropes fastened round their waists, playing upon the burning barrels of tallow contained in them. About one o'clock this morning one of the men thus en gaged had • narrow aicapo from being suffocated and burnt, but having just sufficient strength left to call for assistance. be was drawn up in an apparently lifeless state, but partially recovered after being exposed to the air. An explosion of the large saltpetre vaults is looked for every minute. While these lines are being written the fire is burning with great intensity, and the reflection is to be seen for miles around. _ . No attempt has yet been made to discover the remains of the late Mr. Braidwood, and a belief is current that there are at least seven other parsons lying buried in the ruins. tatora.:_ (Stamped, ld.

At this outset the smoke emitted from the burning pepper, more cepecially from the cayenne, nearly blinded the firemen. Great fears were entertained that the Custom HOLM would take fire from the sparks, and men were stationed during the whole of the night to guard against such an event. The garrison of the Tower were also on the alert, and a considerable quantity of stores was actually removed for safety to the Tower ditch. When the explosion occurred whioh caused the death of Mr. Braidwood, the flames rushed through the walls with such violence as to oblige the crowd who bad assembled at the North Kent Beltway station to beat s preeipilate A boat containing five men put off on the river for the purpose of collecting some of the tallow floating on the surface ; but the craft becoming ignited, the whole of the occupant, of the boat are supposed to have been either burnt to death or drowned. One body only had been found up to yesterday evening. Morris, formerly of the fire brigade, attended with the engines of the dock company, but two of the men who were at work fell into the river, and, it is said, were drowned. A man named James Sykes, of Bermondsey-wall, also fell into the river, and met with a watery grave. Yesterday nearly all the bade for miles down the river were besmeared with grease, and bore conclusive testi. roomy to the extent to which this plunder—for it deserves no better name—was carried. We heard of one crew who sold for no Iwo than 181. the tallow they had collected in the course of a few hours. Along the shore, too, barefooted juveniles were paddling about engaged in the same traffic on a more limited scale, fishing the grimes up with their hands and depositing it in old tin pots and canvas bags. The unmet consternation prevailed amongst those on board the numerous craft on the river in the vicinity of the fire, in consequence of the thick showers of sparks and burning materials which fell incessantly. On board the steamers lying at Brewer's-quay the fire-engines were got out, and water was thrown upon the masts and rigging, while similar precautions were taken with respect to most of the other vessels. _ _ . _ _ At the outbreak, a large number of land engines bad taken up a position in Tooley-street, and were prepared for action ; but the firemen being unable to obtain a supply of water from the mains, most of them good idle for quite an hour before water was obtainable from the e i n e At nearly all the large fires which have occurred in this locality there has been the same inadequate supply of water, and to which may be attributed, in some degree, the extant to which those conflagrations reached. Mr. Braidwood's life was insured in the Westminster Insurance Office. _ _ A gentleman named Charles White, connected with the County Fire Office, in assisting to convey the hoes of the steam floating engine, had his left band impaled upon one of the iron spikes of • house in Tooleyatreet. A poor Irishman, named Sullivan, was brought to St. Thomas's at 9 o'clock with his neck broken by the chain of the tinting engine getting round him. Four men were also brought to St. Thomas's badly injured—via., John May, a g le a lonstable, with John Deana, George Fraser, and Ramon—ell badly burnt, the LOW dreadfully so. At Guy's one person was lying badly injured by • fall. Her Majesty the Queen sent during yesterday morning two to the sceueof the fearful catastrophe, to know whether r. Braidwood had been killed or not. The Prince 'el Wales also visited the some yesterday, and Sir Richard Mayes, Captain Harris, Captain Labelmondiere,with Super intendents Branton' and Gernon, and Impactors Moore, Reid, Mackintosh, Mackenzie, Gi bson, sod Fermon, risme upend took possession of the principal thoroughfares lead ing to the premises, by which means the immense crowd was kept out of danger. Wooden barricades litre likewise thrown &MOM the various streets, which sago tended mate rially to keep the populace hack. The Lord Mayor was soon in attendance, and gave some judicious instructions to the firemen and police. His Iced ship being the mon-in-law of Mr. Alderman Humphrey, the owner of most of the extrusive premises in which the fire wee raigeg, of awn. felt greatly interested in the ravages of t e fire. At 11 o'clock (writes an eye witness) the railway station seems doomed. None can see how the fire is raging, eo dense is the mass of smoke and sparks that sweep towards the railway. The engines are withdrawn from their useless contest with the burning houses near the timber yard, and begin to play upon the stacks of timber themselves. The clouds of steam that rise front these piles as the water falls show that the precaution is not taken an instant too soon, even if it then avails. Just at this most critical period, the slight wind gradually changes and blows from the station out toisitrae the fire, rolling back the mingled clouds of smoke and sparks and flame again in the direction of the river. The ruins amid which the fire rages become then distinctly visible from the entrance to the Woolwich station, overlooking Tooley-street, and the sight disclosed is one which it is impossible either to de scribe or forget. Spreading far and wide amid gaunt rube of walls, cracked and riven out of shape, lies • perfect sea of fire, almost as white as snow, from which the rod flames spring in massive leap , and scatter like explosions myriads of charred embers high into the air. Now • puff of wind will act on the ruins far and wide, like blast through • furnace, and they spring into a whiteness to which the glare: of sun light is mere darkness. While these gleams last the spectacle is tremegdous. On every aide are only great vistas of rugged and white gleaming streets, the very pavements of which give off a livid glare that is blinding to look at. The walla sill standing, but white with heat and cracked in all directions, seem like pillars of fire, against which, as the breeze drops, the flames rise again, and, licking up their sides, seem to flap against them, and bring the glowing bricks down in long streams. On every side • great mar of flames is struggling. Nothing can be seen but • town of falling ruins, with great rafters swaying about in fiery tangles before they fall headlong down—nothing heard but the roar of flames and shouts of excited thousands, which drown even the incessant dull thumping of the eu gime that are working in all directing. Moored alongside Chamberlain's Wharf was a small sloop, which, as soon as the wooden sheds took fire, was louked upon as doomed. At first might be perceived upon the cordage of the rigging • few small specks of fire like little blue blisters, which gradually became larger until they ran into one, and then the mast begun to blaze. Then on the sides of the little vessel, and then upon its deck, other little blue blisters burst out where the beat of the burning wharves bad ignited the tar, and very soon the sloop was all on fire from stem to stern. While she was burning, there came a barge, with flowing sails, borne on the rising tide. The eddy drew it too near the conflagration ; the huat--which scorched the faces of people standing on the landing-stage ' wt Billingsgate—was insupportable, the three men on board became alarmed, they lost all control of them selves, the barge drifted inland, while they raised their hands and shouted for help. A boat rowed out and I rook these three men off, and in less than two minutes their barge lay with its broadside to the river of fire next the shore, and was blazing from one end to the other. Later in the night • small skiff, rowed by a single man, was drawn close upon the vortex of the fire in the same way. Another boat ran out, took the man off, and conveyed him to • place of safety ; but it is said that • monad boat, pulled by a single rower, which went in shore with the same object, met with • different fate, being itself drawn in too far. The man was rendered powerless by the best, he lifted his hoods for help as the man had dope he had thought to aid in saving ; but he had gone too far to be rescued, and it is rumoured that he and his boat were both burnt together. Then there was a second beige ignited by the floating blazing tallow, but that being further removed from the heat, was scuttled, and so took no great harm. It should be added that when the boatmen took the three men off the barge • tremendous cheer burst forth from the spectators sod almost drowned for a time the roar of the fire. Instances like these created au intensity of excite ment which can hardly be imagined by these who were not witnesses of the scene. The following is the official report of damage : " 4.30 p.m. of Saturday. the 22nd of June, lftGl, a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Messrs.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS. Examination day at the Pinner Schools in alwitia looked forward to by the subscribers, as well as by the reci pients of this very valuable and particularly useful charity as a special holiday. The conc e rn naturally felt in the physical and mental advance of the orphan children 01 former friends, the gratification of having some hand in pro viding for their present wants and future welfare, the beau tiful scenery of the lotegity, the time of the year at which the re-union tikes place, the certainty of meeting a large and agreeable company, and of !mann a plesaing, because increasuWy favourable, report of the prugress of the ins tution, all these feelings and circumstances combining give Mat to these occasions, and ensure their popularity. On Saturday last these attraetioug, superadded by one of the finest summer days of the season, seemed to mac," anoretban their usual bores, and drew together a larger number of Lake and gentlemen than we have met at previous anniversaries.
