TERRIFIC CONFLAGRATION.—This morning, shortly
before one o'clock, a terrific fire broke out in Surrey.strfts
Calolari,
Croydon, in the premises of Mr. Burt, a corn-factor. The
inmates having been aroused, succeeded in reaching the
street in safety. Information of the fire was dispatched. to
the various police and engine station for assistance. punng
and very
that time the flames travelled with rapidity-,
speedily the premises of Mr. Neal, a clog and patten InakeT'i-
became ignited, and the Are from the two buildings illum
nated the town and the country for miles distant. The ea-
gine of the parish was soon on the spot, closely followed by
another from Addiscombe Barracks. By this time the WO
buildings, as welt as another belonging to Mr. Ringhavr,
house decorator, No. 17, in the same street, were blazing
away with the greatest fury. The police bad sent off as
express to London for the aid of the fire brigade

ment the news arrived in town, Mr. Connorton ar
spot with the West of England engine and firemen, and
was followed by Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the Lon
th..
-
don brigade, and the engine from the Sou
abundant
wark-bridge-road station. Fortunately ane mains,
supply of water was procured from the high-pressar work in
and the London firemen, with the local aid, went to
a most praiseworthy manner, but the flames could not be ex-
tinguished until the premises of Mr. Burt were burned down!
the stock in trade, &c., consumed. The sufferer was insured
in the Kent Mutual Fire Office. Theprernises of Mr real_e
were likewise burned down. The occupier was insured in th

NOVELTY IN MEDICINE.—The local jouroto -- •

of his attention to the preparation of certain.discoveries:

indignation throughout that district, which exhibited Use'

rishes of Salcot, Tolleshunt D'Arcy, and Tollesbury.
large platform was erected in the square of TollesburY, 06
which were placed a number of tea chests, to compose
the
the
judicial bench, and on these were seated in full costurae
officials of a court of justice, comprising fishermen end la-
bourers. The mock ceremonials of the trial having been
gone through in the most exciting manner by those engage
in it, and the jury having returned their unanimous verdict
et
guilty, the ministers of the law were directed to carry out the
immediate execution of the culprit, with two witnesses,
whose conduct at the assize was considered most unsatis-
factory, and of whom effigies had also been prepared. A
large quantity of faggots and brambles, over which hung the
gallows and the effigies of the condemned, was then tired and
reduced to ashes amidst the blasting of a large quantity of
gunpowder, the discharge of a number of guns by the fisher-
men, and the hootings, yells, groans, hisses, and. impredea-
tions of an indignant and excited populace. This rude e.
