SEniors CoNEL%nimtioss.—This morning, at

early hour, a fire happened in one of the spacious private
residenees, numbered 3, Montpelier-row, Blackheath, the
property of a lady named Webb, but sublet to se reral
lodgers. The fire was first perceived by a policeman of the
It division, who lust no time in arousing the several occu-
pant•, who fortunately succeeded in effecting a retreat.
The engines of the parish quickly attended, as well as an-
other belonging to the dockyard at Deptford. These
powerful machines were instantly set to work ; but
in spite of the exertions of tho police, &c., the
work of destruction cantiuucil, and in lees than a quark r
of an hour after the commencement of the conflagration the
entire buililiier presented one immense sheet of flame, the
lent etion of which could be seen from every part of London.
This caused the engines of the brigade at Southwark-bridge-
road station, as well sus that of the West of England Com-
pany, to he takun out in search of the scene of danger.
After travelling some distance, a mounted express was met,
who gave to the firemen information of the exact spot the
lames were then ragiag. The engines were then driven
with greater spent onwards, and, on reaching Blackheath-
hill, an occurrence took place which was nearly attended
with fatal consequences to Mr. Deputy Barrow, of the West of
England office. The men, it appears, were in the act of
getting oft the engine to ease the horses up the hill, when
Barrow was thrown down by his foot catching the wheel,
and before he could be extricated the fore-wheel passed over
his left foot and the hind-wheel over his thigh. The horses
were immediately stopped, and the ladders taken of the
engine, in order to carry him to the police-station, but for-
tunately he was found to be only seriously bruised, no
bones having been fractured. Upon reaching the tire, the
firemen set to work in an indefatigable manner, but they
were unable to suhdue the flames until the premises in which
the diaistcr commenced were gutted, and serious da-
mage done, by fire, water, and removal, to Nee. 2
and 4 in the same row, belonging to Mr. Gilbert.
Mrs. Webb was insured in the Sun Fire-office, but Mr.
Gdlh rt was uninsured. The cause of the fire was un-
known.—At a late hour last night a fire of a very serious
character happened in the premises of Mr. Wheeler, a
jamuuser, No. 8, Newton-street, llolboin. It originated
in the manufactory, and speedily extended to three of the
drying stoves, which were burned out, the roof destroyed,
sod several hundred pounds worth of stock in trade con-
sumed. The engines of the parish, Brigade, and West of
England attended, and the firemen eventually got the
flames extinguished. The loss will fall on the Sun Fire-
office.

SUICIDE OF A STOCKBROKER.— A painful
ton was created yesterday forenoon in the Stock Exchange
by the shocking death of Mr. Ingle Budge, a stockbroker,
who committed suicide at the counting-house of Mr.
Routh, also a member of the Stock Exchange, in Throg-
mortowstreet. Late last evening Mr. W. Payne, the City
coroner, held an inquest on the body of the unfortunate
gentleman, at Mr. Routh's office, before a jury of nineteen
inhabitants of the ward, when the following facts were '
adduced. The deceased was • young member of the Ex-
change, having only been connected with it some four or
five years. He was very highly respected in the City for
hi. upright and business-like conduct. Mr. Routh, in con-
sequente of beir.g intimately acquainted with the deceased,
had allowed him permission to transact his business at
his counting-house, No. 32, Throgmorton.street, he not
having en office of his own. On Mr. Routh reaching
his counting-house yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, he
beard from his clerk that the deceased was in the private
room, where he had been about • quarter of an hour. Mr.
Routh at once proceeded to the apartment, and found the
deceased lying on the floor of the water-closet attached to
the rount. lie immediately called in assistance, and sent
for Mr. Chance, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, who pro-
/yawed the unfortunate man to be dead. A wine glass was
found on the table containing the remains of prussic acid.
A brief examination of the body b the medical gentleman
sufficed to show that the d had perished from the ,
ttf‘ets of that poison. On his person was found • loaded
pistol and a knife. Some letters also were discovered. They
were examined by the coroner, and one ran nearly to the
following effi et ; dated Sept. 29th, 1351, addressed to Mr.
Forster :—" Dear Sir,—When you have received this
I shall have erased to live. I have never done
lay good to myself or any one else about me.
I knew this must come a long while. I hope
some will take pity on my poor wife and children ;
du what you can for those helpless creatures • I dare not
think of their unhappy condition. I have had the means
et death in my possession now more then two weeks."
The letter then cute. red into some business transactions,
showing the state of his affairs, and which it mad lie untie-
es,siry to give. It concluded by imploring his friends not
to term his littlo ones, and wishing them good bye.
*a. signed " Ingle nudge." Mr. Sewell, surgeon, dr
Vinehurelastreet, and other gentlemen who were se-
guaiiited with the deceased, spoke of his disordered state
of mind, from which it would seem that he laboured under
the mpremion that he would never be able to do any good
for himself and family, and that he would always be un-
fortunate. Yesterday being settling day at the Stock
Exchange, he found himself not in • position to meet
certain demands, his account at his banker's being consi-
derably short of the sum required, bet which could base
been readily averted by application to the committee, who
would doubtless have extricated him from his difficulties.
He was seen on 'Change about 10 o'clock, sad it is per
that the dread of meeting his difikultios induced
hem to commit the melancholy act. After some Illwarke,
the jury returned a verdict of "Temporary 'weeny." He
iti• kit a widow and two children.
