neighbourhood of Albion-street, Rotherhithe, owing to loud
cries of " Fire" proceeding from the premises belonging to
Mr W. Reeves, a grocer. Several of the neighbours rushed
into the building, when they found the back room on the
second floor in flames and the shopman's night-dress on
fire. The necessary information was forwarded to the
fire-stations, and very quickly the engines from Tooley-
street, Robert's land-steamer (the "Princess of Wales"),
