ANOTHER EXTENSIVE FIRE IN BERMONDSEY.—
This morning, shortly before one o'clock, • considerable
loss of property by tire, and very narrow escape of several
persons., happened in Bermondsey It originated in the
lower pert of the premises of Mr. Wiliam', Grange-road ;
and, although only • few minutes elapses! before the Ho-
therhithe, London brigade, and other engines arrived, the
house (a ginger-beer manufactory) and its contents, were
enveloped in filliSCS. In two hours the alarm subsided; but
all Mr. Williams's stock and miter property were de-
stroyed, and the adj.,ining homes damaged. The house
was insured in the County and Boyal Exchange mikes.
The cause of the Are is unknown.
