Two MORE GREAT Flare IN LONDON.—Two of the
most extensive fires that have occurred in the metropolis
for some trine_ trait (Cotton's Wharf only excepleci)
happened on Wednesday morning, and laid in nuns
property valued at many thousand pounds sterling.
The first fire occurred re few minutes before two o'clock
In t. e premises of Mr. J. Breton, cooper, and packing.
Case maker, situated in Oak Lane, Limehouse. The
property covered im immense area, probably nearly an
acre of ground, upon which stood the cooperage, the
packing.case factory, arid an immense quantity of timber
in the cri CO yard. This, wlsou once alight, waa comeeda
to form a conflagration of no small magnitude, but ad-
joining this property was the attendee cooperage of Mr.
J. Woodley, running into Church-street The fire
spread 40 quickly that the extensive 000pdrage of afr.
J. Woolley also became ignited, and over 130 feet of
wooden buildings shut forth • blue that road nearly 100
feet into the air. Before three o'clock the fire was at
its height, and withont exaggeratioo it may be stand
that, with the exception of the one at Tooley-street, •
larger or fiercer body of unbroken flame has rarely bee*
witnessed in the metropolis. Ilverdale. one of the
engineers of the London brigade, upon going to reader
asaiatanoe at one of the engraft, fell into the river, and
WWI drowning, when lie was noticed by one of his coca-
ride,, arid pulled out. At length, owing to the vast
torrents of water that kcid frilling upon the confiagratiou,
it been to succumb and diminieh, and by four e'c4ock,
or • little alter. it was nearly extinguished. The 'fire-
men had barely gut this extensive lire cinder kiiitrol,
when their service.' were called to another, nide pre•
mires were, includiug the basement, six floors high
each floor being used as • warehouse, filled with tea:

near London-bridge, extending as far beck se Kist's

lodgers in the refreshureut rooms, who were ping b
the downbeat. in the morning, were aroused, and ecte'e.
to be peen rushing out into the street, carrying with
them Liege cues, portmanteeus, ha. By ten o'clock the.
firemen succeeded In extinguishing the laaqs,i The
damage in this case, too, amounts to several t4oesan4
pounds.
To PLAY "Hat, Air Town" WITIII our..—;lo the
mirth of England, when qtrovelstake plum, • very strange
form of threat commonly takes place. It Is quite corn'
mien to bear one enraged party threaten to "play hell
sand Tommy" with the other; and this extraordinary
combination of words is generally held to mean thlt. the ,
utmost degree of violence or outrage will be resorted' to.
I have frequently heard inquirree as to the possible eir-
-1110404.01:011 which may Save given rim to this odd phrase,
but never knew any explanation to be even at .
It seems to rue, however, that I have hit upon6an:Pilltece,
bable solution of the question. The phrase noel th'he
written "Hal and Tommy." "Hal" isal abbreviation
of the
Christian ma

aware that the term "Old Harry," often applied to
"the Prince of Darkness," arose in Henry's reignortien '
his cruel deeds induced many of his people We **PM
him (not unnaturally) as an actual iocarnatlig the
"Evil One." "To play hell and Tumm y"— is to
say, " Hal and Tornm,"—is a phrase attrihntald tithe
same or • similar origin.— Notes and Qieries_
DierellATlt LTA? AND lignalliguon Famastn.—On
the afternoon of Thursday, a man named Laker, a &ow
welter, native of Ashford, performed leveret
,spetdes-
perste and dangerous leaps, while in • frantilardate of
mind, and, to the surprise of all who are aletiminted
with the circumstances, he escaped without any ogrioes
injury. It appears that Laker had been wmtieg for
and lodging with Mr. Barret, shoemaker, of 2, St.
Clement 's-place. who, on the preceding eveniumooticed
something peculiar in his manner, and in the mune of
conversation, found that he was dwelling upon. the de.
Ninon of an attempt being made to vend Min to an
asylum. He afterwards become more compelled; was
got to bed, and medical adirim was obtatned. About 3
o'clock on the following afternoon he crept cjitly out
of bed, climbed up to a window placed above e half
-
landing of the stain., and jumped from the on to
the roof of the scullery, about twenty feag below.
The roof giving way beneath his weight be fettllbtough,
cowl running *mom the yard sprang to the 'll,p of a
wall seven or eight feet high. From thence be jumped ,
on to the roof of another building, twenty or thirty feet
below, and then made another descent to a still wer
building, breaking in the slated ro if, and faillim tick-
wards, as Is supposed, into the yard of No. Iv under.
cliffs. He then proceeded into the kitchen of Meat hots*
WIICTe he Tom found Wooing on the table in a toentliling
condition, and with no other clothing on thee a shirt.
The crashing beige caused hy his falls attraeted the at-
tention of Mr. W. P. Beecham. jun., Mr. Whiten, and
others, who immediately ran to the mot, and so their
greet surprise found that, although out and komieed. the
poor man cli.l not apprise to have broken any'bonesi, or
sustained any eerious injury. The medical amistance of
Mr. Wilson was called in, and it was thought prudent
to convey the unfortunate men to the Infirmihy, where
he received every necessary attention, The entire
distance which he jumped was ascertained let,be sixty-
one feet. •,..1
