transfer the undertaking, either before or after comple-

South Eastern Company. It has already been approved by
the London and North Western Company.
FIRE AND LOSS of LIFE AT HULL. —A melan-
choly occurrence is reported from Hull. A fire broke out
in the house of Mr. Robinson, a bacon factor in that town,
early on Tuesday morning. Finding, apparently, that it
was impossible to escape by the stairs, Mr. Robinson ap-
pearedat one of the upper windows with his little boy in
ims. They seem to have been the only inmates of
the house at the time. Hull does not possess a fire-escape,
and a ladder which was placed against the burning pre-
mises proved useless. Robinson then rushed from the
front to the rear of the building, and when the place was
afterwards searched, it was discovered that the poor fellow
and his child had perished.
