THE SERIOUS FIRE AND EXPLOSION IN TEE
BOROUGH.

The cause of the catastrophe has bean amertaised, by the
inquiries of the police, to have bees an explosion of weal!
oil in the cellar of the warehouse. As Mr. Henry
jun., was in the cellar pumping the oil, the fluid in some
way caught fire, and he wee dreadfully burnt over the hands
and arms. He had greet difficulty in escaping from the
plane, which seemed to become filled with flame. Three
quarters of as hour later, at a quarter put 10 o'clock, a
loud explosion took piece, and it was so violent that the
Stage's-aid polioe-station, nearly a quarter of a mils dis-
tant, was considerably shaken. That explosion, it is be-
hewed, was attributable to mltpetre and paraffin. The
police, having reason to suspect that a quantity of gun-
powder was on the premises, and that its explosion
was imminent, drove back as far as practicable
the dense crowds of perilous who malted to the
spot. After a sewed explosion of saltpetre the
fire reached the store-room for gunpowder on the
roof of the house, and a terrific explosion was the re-
suit. The rafters and the elates were blown off and fell into
the streets below, and about twelve persons were injured by
the falling @pastors.' Two of the polies were Knocked
down, one of them being slightly wounded. Several of the
men at the engines
.were cut about the hands. The neigh-
bouring houses received damage, but principally to the win-
dows. It is a singular fact that the windows of the house
where the explosion took place were not blown out,
although the brickwork surrounding the sashes of the store-
room windows was knocked out by the concession ; the
panes of glass were, of course all destroyed. The fire was
not completely extinguished until flys o'clock in the eve°.
Mg, when the last steam-engine was withdrawn. Mr.
, Tilleard, jun., is, we regret to state, now an inmate of
, Guy's Hospital, in consequence of his very serious injuries.
He is in the Petersham Ward, under the oars of the house
surgeons, who state that there is no immediate danger In his
i cue. Mr. Talmud, sen., and Mrs. Tilleerd received some
alight injuries. The contusions and wounds received by the
sufferers were of a comparatively trifling nature. It is
stated that, sixteen years ago, in the month of April, an
explosion of gunpowder took place on the same promises.
