THREE FIBRIL—(TiIIs DAY.)—The London Fire
'Brigade and West of England engines were actively en-
gaged this morning, there having been three fires. The
first happened on the premises of Mr. S. Feater, lineadreyer,
15, Frederick-place, Gnaw.ll-road. From the iofismable
nature of the stock the shop was speedily in flames, and the
inmate with difficulty escaped. The second occurred et
Mr. G. Ellis's, Yorkshire Grey Tavern, 84, Bermondsey-
street. The side door was brnkeo open and the fire was
subdued, owing to the timely arrival of the engines. The
cause was a spark from a candle failing on some straw.
And, lastly, one occurred at Mr. J. Dove's, bootmeker, No.
45, Wbiteombettrest, which broke out in the back pan of
the premises.
SUICIDE OP A NEWEVENDER.—This morning in-
formation was forwarded to Mr. Baker, the Coroner for the
eastern division of Middiesez, that Mr. G. Hackett, a most
respectable news agent, who carried on as eitenslTO burin's.
in Pitfield street, Holton, bad committed suicide. The
deceased, who had been suffering from deprf scion of spirits,
not appeariag at the breakfast hour, one of the family went
to his bedroom to ascertain the Cause. After knocking
repeatedly, the door was opened, when he was found Willies.
Surgical assistance was instantly obtained, but life was
satinet, the unfortunate man having taken poison (lau-
danum).
FREE PASSPORTS AND CHEAP TRIPS TO THE
Faiscu Exuisirion.—The arrangements for feeilitatiog
the visits to the Paris Exhibition, of men of moderate
means, have recently snouted a new and more encouraging
aspect. So long as it was merely a question of saving the
cost of a passport, the inducement was too small to tempt
any one. But now, seeing that, mainly through the instru-
mentality of the president of the French imperial commis-
sion, arrangemtn's have been made with the principal rail-
way companies from London to Paris, to take parties held-
ing these franked passports at half fare, whether in going or
returning, the trip becomes a matter within the compose
and means of many who, without this great reduction in the
eat of travelling, would never have dreamed of visiting the
Paris Exhibition. We believe we are not wrong in stating
that his worship the Mayor of Manchester has determined
to give a liberal construction to the letter of instructions he
hes received from the government. According to rile terms
of that letter such pompons were ooly to be. applied for by
" workmen." It is manifest, however, tbst if this arrange-
ment be strictly limited and literally interpreted, it must
remain for the most part inoperative. hod, as the correct
description of the occupation of all parties who may make
application to the mayor for such passports will he trans-
mitted to the Foreign-office, the error. if error it should be
considered, of giving a large and liberal interpretation to
the term workmen "wIU, doubtless, be at once corrected.
