Mr. SHAW moved that Mr. Smith be furnished with a

Several guardians said they did not see the necessity of
that, and ultimately it was resolved that a copy of it be
forwarded to the Poor-law Commissioners.
Mr. SMITH having perused the document, said' Mr.
Gough's assertion was not to be relied upon. Before re-
ceiving his statements the board ought to call in the cook,
or some of the paupers in the house. He defied contradic-
tion,to the figures which he (Mr. Smith) had put forward.
The CHAIRMAN said " that Mr. Smith's . own figures

TUE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LONDON,

We_ yesterday
_briefly announced that a destructive fire
had broken out in the brandy vaults, London Docks, on
Tuesday; Sinee then NN'elave teceivecl the following patti-:
culars :—" The fire originated in the brandy vaults, and
considering the immense stock of spirits stored within them,
and the great difficulty experienced in' ascertaining and ap-
proaching the seat of the fire, it is somewhat surprising that
a large extent -of the company's property was not laid in
ruins. The vault, which probably is 'the largest of any of
the metropolitan docks, occupies a considerable space in the
south-east corner of the principal basin, and is entered by
flights of steps from the kind of spirit quay which flanks
the eastern side of the Wapping. basin. The vault was
exclusively used for the storing of brandies, and contained
some 20,000 casks of the finest description. The casks were
stowed in' the usual manner, and every precaution appears
to have been taken to guard against fire, the lanterns used
in the vault being locked so as to prevent any,tamperinc,
with the light. At the commencement of the business of the
dock yesterday morning at eight o'clock, the principal trap
leading to the vault was opened, the cellarman entered as
usual, and there was nothing to indicate that a fire was
kindling anywhere , about the
,place. The work went on
in the customary way, and about a ffi, r+Pr-no e+

lot
a cry was raised that the vault was onLLOI,I
fire
tity

of smoke was seen to collect in one of the divisi

,ens,
and in a minute or so it poured up from the traps in huge
volumes, giving a general alarm throughout the establish-
ment and causing the greatest excitement. For the moment
there was quite a panic as to what was best to be done. A
sharp explosion in the vault increased the fear that a greater
one might take place amongst the large stock of spirits. At
length the principal officers of the dock gained the scene, and
the most vigorous efforts were adopted to check the fire. By
this time, however, it had evidently made more rapid pro-
gress, the heat and smoke had become more intense, and a
sad destruction of the company's premises seemed inevitable.
A large force of the London Fire-brigade was promptly in
attendance, and, it being high water, little delay was expe-
rienced in hauling the two powerful floating engines of the
brigade from the river into the Wappini, basin. Under the
direction of Mr. Fogo and Mr. Henderson,° officers of the
brigade, the firemen, as also those of the dock company,
made the most gallant exertions to overcome the fire. In all
there were three floating engines, eight land engines and
others belonging to the dock, which were brought' into
vigorous operation, the hose being led along tie quay
down into the vault. The dense smoke which poured
up from the vaults, charged as it was by the powerful
and suffocating odours arising from the burning spirit,
completely baffled for a time the efforts of the firemen.
Indeed, the scene altogether was one of a very painful" cha-
racter, and exhibited the most extraordinary courage and
perseverance on the part of those who were called into active
operation. Although the firemen and labourers in the vault
were relieved at brief intervals they suffered severely from
inhaling the suffocating effluvium. Nearly the whole of the
brigade and its officers were laid prostrate from its pernicious
influence. Some had to be dragged out to save their lives, and others who succeeded in getting up instantly fell to the
ground in a state of insensibility. The dock labourers shared
a similar fate ;' and during the whole time the fire raged,
the quay was almost covered with prostrate firemen and la-
bourers, some apparently dead ; at one time upwards of fifty
lying in this condition on the quay were counted. Most fortu-
nately the dock authorities, anticipating some such result, had
called in most of the medical gentlemen residing in the neigh-
bourhood of the dock ; while the brigade had the services
of their ownsurgeon ; and but for theirattendanee, fatal con-
sequences must have occurred. As it was, in several cases
there was considerable difficulty in restoring the sufferers,
and one or two had to be sent to the hospital. Even the
officers who had charge of the brigade, Messrs. Pogo and
Henderson, in the absence of Mr. Braidwood, did not
escape, and for a time were put hors de combat. The
news of the fire spread rapidly through the eastern part of
the metropolis and the city, and produced the greatest
excitement. So great was the crowd pressing in that it was
necessary to close the dock gates. For two hours the engines
continued in full operation, the steam floating engines ren-
dering most invaluable service, and but for which the con-
flagration must have reached to an alarming magnitude.
Notwithstanding the number who were brought out of the
vault in a helpless condition there was no lack of firemen or
labourers to follow up the work ; and eventually they had
the satisfaction of finding that they had succeeded in ob-
taining a mastery over the fire. It was nearly one o'clock,
however, before this was accomplished. The extent of
damage, as described by the dock officials, is the destruc-
tion of the store of brandies in three archways of one
division of vault, and considerable damage to others in
the arches adjoining. Respecting the origin, it is re-
presented that it might have resulted from a leakage of
one of the casks, and the spirit, in flowing along the
ground, coming in contact with one of the lamps, and
the vapour igniting through one of the small holes in
the lantern. This, however, is only a surmise. It has also
been suggested that it might have arisen from some lighted
tobacco falling on the sawdust which covers the vault, and is
saturated with the spirit spurted out from the mouths of the
tasters. An enquiry has been ordered by the directors, and
the whole facts will be elicited. During the raging of the
fire, three accidents happened to labourers falling overboard
into the dock. One, unfortunately, lost his life. He was
employed on board the dock floating engine, and by some
means slipped' over the gunwale, and disappeared. His
body was not recovered for 'ten minutes, when life was
quite extinct. His name was William Merritt, and had
been employed in the dock some time. The brandies de-
stroyed belonged to several merchants in the City, and are
reported to be insured. Mr. Chandler, the secretary of the
company, and Mr. Randall, the superintendent, were early
on the spot, assisting by suggestions the operations of tb'
firemen.
