TEARFUL SCENE AT A FIRE.—(THIS DAY.)
This (Monday) morning, at a quarter before
3 o'clock, a fire happened in the premises known
as the Anti-Gallican and Star Tavern, Tooley-street,
Southwark. The discovery was made by a police-
constable of the M division who observed smoke
'issuing from the lower part of the building.
At that time the whole of the inmates were
saleep. The officer raised an alarm, and succeeded in
making the residents sensible of their danger, but
not until the fire had made it way up the staircase,
thereby cutting off all means of retreat by the re-
gular way. The ,inmates therefore made for the win-
dows, and Miss Susannah Lowther, aged 19 years, in order
to
g escape out of the boning apartment in which she was,
jum out of window, sad was badly injured. An infant
seven months, canted Kate Lowther, was thrown by
one of the residents out of window so as to avoid being
suffocated. The fire-escape promptly attended, as
well as numerous engines, including three or four
land steamers, and the other rents were rescued
from the burning building, having received no inj4u
beyond being nearly stifled with smoke.
engines were set to work, but in spite of the most
strenuous exertions of the firemen and Aa London Salvage
Corps the flamed oculd not be extinguished until they. had
done fearful havoc in every room, and were just rising
through the roof when the great weight of water thrown
by the steam engines quickly extinguished them. The loss
is considerable, and will fall upon the Royal Fite Moe.

SINGULAR DISCOVERIES OA EXTENSIVE ROB.
BERMS AT YORK.

A few days ago we reported the apprehension at
Poppleton, a village in the neighbourhood of York, of
three men, named respectively Ingram, William, and Geo.
Bilborough (the former being the father of the two latter,
and all having earned an unenviable notoriety as poacher.),
on the charge of robbing the granary of Mr. Thomas Kirk,
• farmer, of the same village. The robberies from the
same place had been carried on in • systematic manner
for some time, and it was only after • three weeks' watch
by the police authorities that the men were caught. Their
resistance to the police-oflicer (whose name is Smith) was
excessively violent, his head being cut in such a manner,
and the violence inflicted on him so great, that be was
obliged to let the man go, and their apprehension was
subsequently effected. In the search which was made of
the house occupied by the elder prisoner, considerable
property was found belonging to Mr. Kirk ; but an
unexpected discovery was also made of a vast number
of articles belonging to the North-Eastern Railway Coin-
, consisting mainly of cloth, b bushes, brass
handles,
braes
dles, nails, screws, kc. The possession of the property
by Ingram is traced through his sons,several of whom have
been in the employ of the company whilst • traction engine
found in the course of construction, on Ingram's pre-
mises, is presumed also to torn,part of the property of the
same company. On Saturday the prisoners were brought
taie
at,before York the West Riding n.agistrates, on the
of robbing Mr. Kirk, and for the assault on the
policeofticer, but, by request, the case was adjourned
until next Saturday, when the number of charges against
the men, it is anticipated, will have been materially in-
creased. Before the bench opposition was offered by
Superintendent-constable Kane to the prisoner signing •
deed of gift of his property to a relative, on the ground
that the property so assigned might, to sonic extent, have
been stolen, and that if • conviction were obtaimd that
which had not been would revert to the crown. The bench
ruled that the prisoners could sign anything they chose
until after their conviction. Through the same apprehen-
sion another case of delinquency by one of the servants of
the company has been discovered, and unfortunately
several other persons who remain in its employ are likely
to become implicated.

FRAUDS nit Brio PPPPP Kn.—According to • sup-
plementary return published this morning, the number
of persons convicted between the Ist of January
and Ist July, 1867, for the use of false weights
and measures was, in the Finsbury division,
58 ;in the Marylebone division, 20 ; in the 81. Pancraa
division, 30 ; and in the Westminster, 111. The large
majority of offenders in the Westminster district, Sr. to be
found amongst the licensed victuallers. The flues paid
amount in the aggregate to 1581.55.
NARROW ESCAPE or • FAMILY FROM FIRE.—
On Friday morning, shortly before 6 o'clock, it was re-
ported at the Police-office at Belfast, that • fire had broken
out in the hay and straw store of James Forsythe, Shank-
hill-road. It appears that Mr. Forsythe keeps stabling for
horses in the rear of the straw store, and that, early in the
morning, a person came to the stable and took away
his horse. By some misadventure on the part of Mr.
Forsythe or the owner of the horse • lighted candle
was afterwards allowed to remain in the ;tore, and, corning
in contact with the straw, in less than 10 minutes the
place was in flames. The family, consisting of Mr. For-
sythe, his wife, and three children were all on the pre-
mises at the time—the mother and her children being in
bed in the upper storey. The appearance of the dm
attracted to the plane several of the residents of the neigh-
bourhood and • number of the police. When it be-
came known that the family were on the premises,
and that there was every probability of their being
suffocated, the consternation of those seeembled outride
was very great A cart was procured, which was placed
underneath the window, and Sub-constable Andrew Miller
succeeded in reaching the window of the upper storey,
when he made his way through the smoke, which at the
time was very dense, to the place where the children
were. He then carried one of the children to the win-
dow, and lowered it down into the street. Aided by
the other policemen and • number of civilians, the
whole of the children where rescued from their
perilous position, and plaoed in safety. Mrs. For.
by the *airtime of hie husband, aided by
r. George Lamour, wea also rescued from the burning
premises. Mr. Lamour during the course of bia exem-
plary exertions, received a severe wound in the head
by • falling brick. Mr. Forsythe was burned severely
on the head, legs, and breast, and remains in •
somewhat precarious condition. A horse which was in
the stable M the time, and which belongs to • resident in
the vicinity, was burned to death. The premises were
uninsured, and Mr. Forsythe and his family have by the
occurrence been left in • destitute oondition.—/tortAern

THZ RATEPAYING CLAUSE OP THE REFORM Aar.
—We mentioned a few days ago that, promoted by the
Reform League, a requisition to the mayor, calling
upon him to convene a town's meeting to consider the
propriety of petitioning parliament to repeal the rate-
paying clause, was In course of signature. We have now
to state that the requisition, with nearly 2,500 rlgriat
has been presented to his worship, and that be has fixed
upon the llth inst. as the day on which the meeting shall
be held. Being a town'emeeting it will, of course, be held
in the town hall, and the mayor will preside.—Birasing.

MINOR Mitnitist. —He compared these miseries
to the crumbs in the bed of a tick man, who is too ill to rise 11
for his meals. The poor wretch, he said, does what he can
to brush them away ; thinks, after great labour, and many'
painful twisting. and turnings, for he can hardly move,
that he ha• accomplished it ; but when be settles down
aloe more, there he is sure to and three detestable crumbs
molesting him again, and be never gets rid of them till he
is taken out of bed—pertain for the last time. It is one
of the homeliest of similes, possibly the homeliest that
was ever made ; but it is really a vary tolerable one, and it
certainly car not he said to be far-fetched. You should
have beard him dilate upon it is his grandiloquent way.
" The man who lives bet on applause ands ever, in his
bard costa, the crumbs of an unmanned vanity molesting
him. The jealous, sensitive man may by away at these
unpleasant Migmmis ever so diligently, bat some of tiara
(the bard little daily &Barnum estinsii.hl over-craving
affection, or by a Ware misunderstood, as her pleased
Ito call it) remain to places him. And to every man these

him, let him be named ever so sedulously." Now, ad yea
