the intention of Government iu coining so large a

About half-past nine o'clock, last night, an
alarming fire broke out in the premises of Mr.
PRICR, plumber and glazier, corner of Charlotte-
place (opposite the Coburg Theatre), New Cut,
Lambeth. It originated in a work-shop at the back
part of the house, which contained a quantity of
turpentine, pitch, &c. and, at its commencement
threatened destruction to the adjui ~ i, ig rein's**.
Some delay took place, ou the arrival of the en-
gines. in consequence of the waist of water; but,
we are happy to say, from the exertions of the fire-
men it was completely subdued, without psalm:it-
ly injuring the adjoining premises.

square area; was set apart for the exhibition of the
Children, and about one e'clock the latter entered
the room, preceded by the Rev. Mr. Hesketh, Se.
'tretary to the London National Schools. Their
appearance excited the most lively 'feelings, and
the admirable order in which, as they entered, they
formed themselves into • solid spier., produced
astonishment. The number. composed of males

was at least one thousand.

sung, appropriate to the occasion, two boys (me.

manner, and in which her Majesty and the other
branches of the Royal Family joined the children
with fervency. These being concluded, the whole
