ALARMING FIRES.
Yesterday afternoon a fire of a very alarming
cha-
racter broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. J.
HamHIT, scale-board cutter and lucifer splint manu-
facturer, situate at No. 36, Union-street, Lambeth-
walk. The fire commenced in the drying-house,
which at the time contained a large quantity of splints.
The moment these articles became ignited the flames
began to assume a fearful ascendancy, and from the
fact of the building being enclosed with wrought iron
doors, it was a work of considerable difficulty to force
an entrance to throw water on the flames. The en-
gines belonging to Messrs. Hodges,
the distillers, and
those of the parish and West of England Office were
soon on the spot, followed in rapid succession by
those of the London Brigade, from Waterloo-road,
Southwark-bridge-road, Chandos-street, and Far-_
ringdon-street stations. Previous to the arrival of
the first engines an abundant stream of
water was
flowing from the Lambeth Company's mains, and

the conductor ascended the machine and brought both

FATAL ACClDENT.—yesterday morning, at an
early hour, the following fearful accident happened in the
Broadway, Hammersmith :—A young man, named Charles
Bern, a carter to Dar. Jones, the market gardener, of Ealing-
lane, was sent by his master with a load of vege-
tables for Farringdon-market, but on reaching the above-
named thoroughfare, he stumbled against something, and
fell in front of the vehicle, and before the horses copild be
stopped the wheels of the heavily laden waggon passed over
the unfortunate man's body. He was immediately picked
up and conveyed to St. George's Hospital, whace death soon
put an end to his sufferings.
