FIRE AND FarizsioN.—An explosion occurred
last night on the premises of Mr. J. Poutard, a manu-
facturer of detonating pallor, uituate No. 39, Berner's-
stivet, Commercial-road East. It appears that after the
paper is saturated with tho chemicals it is placed in a
machine to he pressed, and during that operation the
whole exploded with a fearful noise, setting fire at the
Fame time to the workshops on the first floor. The engines
of the Metropolitan Brigado arrived with all possible ex-
pedition, but the shops on the first floor were severely
damaged before the fire cued be subdued td the Stook
in trade was consumed.
