close, when the odd. quoted against The Prime Minister
were taken to '.IMIL. tearing him unquestionably first
faterarde. The Itleuutain Sylph colt, Newminster, Marl-
borough Buck, and the Lady Geraldine colt were alao in
favour, but closed at pretty nearly the prices we quoted last
week.

FATsL Fl fcw minutes after three 37eeter-
day morning a tire broke out in the private residence of
Hr.. It. Hallett, 7, Belvidere-crescent, Lambeth, which
unfoetunately resulted in the death of a fine young woman,
named Sarah Clueke, who acted as housekeeper to the
owner of the premises. It appears that some of the in-
mates were awoke from their slumbers by experiencing a
suffseating sensation. They got up, and the moment they
went on to the stairs they found dense volumes of smoke
pouring upwards, and when they reached the lower land-
ing they Annul the unfortunate female before alluded to
erouehicl up near the kitchen-door in a blase. With
the assistance of the police and firemen, the flames were
subdued, but the poor crenture was burnt as black N.
a coal and quite dead. The body was placed in a shell and
screwed the vaults of St. John's church to await an in-
quest. The origin of the tire is enveloped in mystery. Had
at not been fur the early discovery made by some of the in-
mates, it is quite probable that one or two other parties
would also have perished.—A short time before thisdistrees-
ist casualty tank place, a fire happened at No. 3, Crown-
street, Soho, belonging to Mr. T. /Layne, a pork butcher.
It commenced on the first How, from some ruse not clearly
ascertained, and, in spite of the exertions of the firemen who
attended immediately from the contiguous station, • great
deal of damage was done before the flames could be extin-
guished. A romale, who lived in an adjoining house,
and who had been confined only a few weeks
previews, was so dreadfully excited when the alarm
mu given, that, when a person went to main
he r. she fill forward in his arms, and expired.
It it remarkable that • number of accidental firm were
outing in various parts of London simultaneously with
those just mentioned. At the same hour the honer, 27,
Old-atrvet-ru.d, Irau set on lire by the galling spark of a
candle and considerable damage was dome. Another
uccurred in nigh-aril t.Shiulwell,and• fifth in -street,
litapside, both of a hieh, however, were extingaisbed before
murk damage had been done. It was otherwise with a
math which broke out in 48, Aldermanbury. The lames'
bad already gained a strung hold on the first floor when the
hre was discoven.d, and before the arrival of the engines
they had enveloped the upper stories. The first, second,
and upper flour with half the roof were destroyed, and
damage um done to neighbouring helot... A fire, which
Basted revere' hours, broke out nearly at the same time in
he. 4, Priumwrow, Newport-market. The ground door
*es burned out with the beck of the house and the roof
was destroyed.
