DEerrunt.friws Fucx AT WHITBREAD'S BREWERY.—
DAv.)—This morning, between 3 and 4 o'clock, a
fire broke out in the immense range of premises belonging
to Messrs. Whitbread, the well-known brewers, in Chia-
well-street. The discovery was made by one of the watch-
men who saw smoke issuing from the ale tun-room mat
boiling-back-room, a building about 45 feet by 30 feet, and
forming the highest part of the brewery. Almost imme-
diately under were the stables, end at oee time it
was feared that the fire would extend to the stabling.
Conductors Shaw, Briggs, and Pussy arrived in the court,'
of • few minutes, and assisted to get about 30 horses out.
By the time this was accomplished the &nice shot
I through the roof and illuminated the whole district.
Three land steamers and one of manual power
were set to work, and in about one hour and
• half the fire was safely extinguished. The
ale tun• room and the boiling.back-room and the roof were
nearly destroyed, and a considerable quantity of
actin the
coolers seriously damaged. The misfortune will inter-
fere in the least degree with the business of the firm.
CHABNIINSTBR.—}LE-CAPTURE OF HONEY BE
Ber.e.—A few dye ago Mrs. Dyer having directed
withdrawal of a drawer of honey, weighing apparently
about 451 b. from • hive, to which a super had been applied,
the drawer, as usual, was deposited for the night owlet-
neath a shrub in the grounds in order to allow the bees wpa
still clung to it to go away. On the servant being ient,
however, to fetch in the honey next morning, it was found
to be black with bees, being a detachment from the swarm
from whose hive the honey bad been taken ; and the
little girl having btwice stung in attempting to fulfil
her mission, it was best to leave the honey where
it was till nightfall, in the hope of finding it then aban-
doned by the bees. And so indeed it was ; for in the cause
of the day they bad contrived to clear out the combs as
cleanly as if they bad been made of paper, thus retaking
every particle of their honey.—wed Exp. a
SHOCKING CASE.—The Franche-Comte gives an
amount of a murder aad suicide
i lately committed at
Besancon. A man named Owlet had animproper inter-
course with the wife of his own brother, and the latter
last week left her home under pretence of going to Di;on,
but in reality to meet her paramee,r. The husband having
become aware of their intentions hastened to • wood
where the brother was at work, and shot him dead. He
then fired again into the dead many mouth, and left the
gun bT his aide to make it appear that • suicide had been
committed. Upon the corpse being dimovered, the
husband attended the nutberities to the spot
that that they did not believe in a suicide, he hastened boos
and blew out his own braille.
