FIRE. —The well-known hostelry, termed the Plume of
Feathers, situate in Church-street, • Deptford, was dis-
covered to be on fire on Monday morning, between the
hours of three and four o'clock. The inmates were
successful in effecting a retreat, but not until they
were nearly suffocated by the heated smoke. Her
Majesty's dockyard engine was promptly on the spot, and set
to work from a good supply of water. The fire was not
extinguished until the building, which contained eleven or
twelve rooms, was nearly destroyed, and the roof partially
burned off. The premises of Mr. Lavell, a smith, No. 2,
Deptford Green, have also sustained some damage by water,
smoke, and hasty. removal of furniture. Mr. Lightfoot was
