FIRE AT. THE LONDON DoCms.—Yesterday morning,
shortly before twelve o'clock, a. destructive fire broke out in
the. brandy vaults of the London Docks. The floating engines

belonging, to that establishment, as well as tho—se of the
London Brigade, were promptly on the. spot, and got- to
work under the direction of 17.ngneer Morris, but the-fire
was not subdued until),ery, considerable darnagewas done.

The hotels and lodging; houses at Blackpool, in this
county, are very busy, both , back and front. The beach
cottages have been doing, a good business some two or three
months, but not so in the rear and -back streets. The de:
partures and arrivals being now much more uniform than in
past years, we do not observe that 'pressure and crowding
which was so uncomfortable to visitors as well as the lodging=
house keepers. We. wish this state 'of things may cbntinne.
