TUE GREAT FIRE AT LONDON-BRIDOE.—ThE re-
fusal of the corporation of the City of Loudon to defray the
expenses of the coroner in holding an inquiry into the re-
cent disastrous fire at Mr. Aldermen Ilumphery's ware-
houses (as noticed in our report elsewhere of the proceed
jags of the Court of Common Council yesterday), has ex-
cited no small amount of surprise amongst the merchants
and wharfingers of the neighbourhood. Perhaps in no part
of the metropolis are such inquiries more needed than in
this quarter, as may be inferred from the fact
that, during the last fifteen years, upwards of
three-quarters of a million of property have been coos
sinned in the immediate locality of the present conflagration.
Mr. Hollingsworth, of the Turkey Mills, Maidstone, who
has occupied the Ist, 2nd, and 3rd floors of the warehouse
for the bat seven or eight months, previously had hi a
stores lower down the river, and he was induced to change
them in consequence of the great apparent security of
Alderman Humptiery's buildings, and the facilities they
offered for the shipment of goods. Indeed, so satisfied
were the insurance offices as to the safe character of the
warehouses, that they expressed their readiness to insure
any amount of goods he might be anxious to deposit'
there. Since the fire he had ascertained that the place
at times was left so unguarded that any evil designed per-
son could have even passed up to the top of the warehouse.
Welch,Voreman to Mr. Alderman Huniphery, declares that
when he was in the rag stores, at 10 o'clock a.m. he was
positive that there was nothing burning in them, fo cif
there had he must ha'e immediately detected it, as the
doors and loop holes were closed, and there was no draft to
carry away the smoke. He was confident that no damp
rags were in the place, all were perfectly dry. He had par-
, ticular instructions not to allow any damp rags to be in the
, stores. With regard to the second outbreakr. Alderman
' Humphery, Mr. Merryman, and Mr. White, of the firm of
Wigan and Co., state that they are positive that they were
over the whole of D warehouse about half an hour before
the discovery was made that it was on fire. They speak to
seeing everything safe in the building. and it should be
observed that at this period the fire in the two warehouses;
A and B, was almost suppressed, at least to such an extent
es to preclude its reaching the 1) buildinsr. Up to a late
boar lasteveaing a quantity of fire continued to exist under
the relies. A
