ALARMING DAY).—At eight o'clock
this morning a fire, threatening the most serious cones.
queerer', Make out on the premises of Mows. Robertami,
patent hied and colour manufacturers, Holland-street, Black-
(dammed. The workmen were gone to breakfast, and
one of them passing the boiling-house shortly afterward',
dircovervil it to be in flames. The alarm was instantly
given, and men despatched for the engines, beers the ar-
rival of which, however, the boiling-house and its contents
were totally destroyed. At this time the engines were
brought into play, and the floating-engine having also oom-
mewed operations from the water-side, the fire was pre-
vented further extending its ravages. Great fears were et
eme time entertained that the flames would have extended
to the large dock of oil and other inflammable materials
odd by Messrs. Robertson in their manufacture, when an
immense destruction of property must have resulted. The
exertions of the firemen and workmen prevented this
calamity. The cause of the fire is supposed to be the boil-
ing over of the oil in aonio of the coppers, which running on
to the floor satnrsted with oil &c., speedily ignited the build-
ing. The loss u estimated at about 1,0001. Messrs. Robert.
sus wore insured.

ia the moire of the carriage fell, and the boy wbo was

in cousequenes, and fell with his leg on the tramway ; hut
the unfortunate youth who met with his death was the
third to fall, sad he fell directly under the centre wheel,
which pissed over hie body, nearly cutting it in two. Such
• fearful accident of course attracted agreat crowdof per-
sons, and as soon as possible the injured boys were con-
veyed to Oty's Hospital, where their injuries were imme-
diately *Minded to. The boy who received the most serious
injuries was named Edison Shore, and be died very shortly
after his admission, in consequence of very extensive frac-
tures of the pelvis. Holdland only got hie leg fractured,
andHILD Cn o the other boy wag not so much injured.
