FIRE, LAST NlGHT.—Shortly after twelve o'clock last
night information reached the fire station, Temple-court,
that a fire had broken out in the stables and premises'
situate in Lady Ann-street, Duke-street, in the occupation
of Messrs. Thorp and Taylor, cart owners. The fire
brigade. under Mr. Hewitt, and a body of police, under
Major Greig, were quickly on the spot, and though at one
time considerable apprehensions prevailed that the
conflagration would extend to the neighbouring cooper-
ages, the energetic exertions of the fire brigade succeeded
in mastering the destructive element, and by two o'clock
all danger was over. The extent of the damage con-
sequent upon the disaster had not been ascertained' at the
time we write.
THE LATE MR. SADLEIR, M.P.—The verdict of felo-de-se
pronounced by the Coroner's jury emp +nnelled to inquire
touching the death of the 1 ite Mr. Sadleir, would have
had the effect of preventing any religious ceremonial being
observed at the interment of the unfortionte gentleman, had
not the body already been consigned to its last resting place.
On the Tuesday after the late Mr. Sadleir was found dead
on Hampstead-heath, and after the coroner had given per-
mission for bis interment, the body was removed from the
workhouse at Hampstead to the house of the deceased in
Gloucester-square, Hyde-park, and on the following Thurs-
day morning, at a very early hour, interred in Highgate
Cemetery, in the presence of a few of his immediate relatives
and others, the burial service being performed by a Roman
Catholic clergyman.
