FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE IN THE STRAND.-
Shortly after 9 o'clock last night. in the vicinity of Temple-
bar, it was discovered that the house, numbered 244,,Strand,
where Holloway's pills and patent medicines are manu-
factured, was on tiny. The fire commenced in the lower
part of the premises. Several !and steam engines were
soon on the spot ; when the Bremen made their way down
stairs, accompanied by a man named Puddy, who resided
in Bell-yard, Fleet-street, and was employed by Mr.
Holloway as porter. The flames, however, were foundeto be
quite overpowering, and the firemen reascended, but
Puddy was unable to do so. In the cellar was a large
quantity of lard and other inflammable material, which
blazed away furiously, and it was about three-quarters of
an hour before the flames were extinguished, the damage
being chiefly confined to the lower part of the house.
Puddy was found quite dead, occasioned from burnin and
suffocation. The origin of the fire could not be as ned
but it was said that when the workmen left at 7 o'clock all
appeared safe as usual. The body of the unfortunate man
was conveyed to St. Clement's dead-house.
PRESERVATION OF THE RIVER MEDWAY.-A
public meeting is to be held to-morrow at the Town-hall,
Maidstone, under the presidency of Mr. Lawrence, the
mayor, for the purpose of taking into consideration the
best means of preserving the river Medway. Mr. Frank
Duckland, the eminent naturalist, and Mr. H. Fennell,
the inspector of fisheries. will be present to take part in
the proceedings. There will also be $ deputation from
Tunbridge, where last week an association was formed
under the auspices of Lord Hardinge, Lord de Lisle, Lord
William Lennox, Mr. T. Farmer Hairy, the high sheriff of
Kent, and other gentlemen, for the purpose of stocking
the Medway with salmon and other fish. It appears from
inquiries which have been made by Mr. Buoklaad Mr.
Goddard, and other gentlemen, that two or three admen
have been caught this year near the mouth of the Medway,
and that a very successful attempt has recently been
made to preserve the river Stour, near Canterbury. A
meeting is to he held for the same purpose in the course of
a few dais at Rochester.
