DREADFUL FIRE.--Last night, about half-past
eleven o'clock, the extensive mills belonging to Mr. Horne,
situated in the Lower Deptford-road, were discovered to be
on fire. The mills are well known as the " Manor Mills," and
are near the St. Helena Tea-gardens, about 150 yards from
the roadside. The flames were observed raging in the upper
part of the building by one of the constables belonging to the
London and Greenwich Railway, and he had scarcely given
the alarm before the flames burst through the windows and
roof. Immediately on the discovery messengers were dis-
patched to town for the assistance of the engines ; but the fire
had been discovered by the watchmen on the various bridges,
nho communicated with the various fire-establishment stations

in the metropolis before the messenger from the spot had arrived
in town. The brigades, on receiving the information, instantly
started off, and powerful engines arrived in succession from the
rollowing places :—Southwark Bridge-road, Morgan's-lane,
Farringdon-street, Waterloo-road, Watling-street, Jeffery-
square, and one belonging to the West of England Fire-office.
They found the entire building, which is about 120 feet in
length, and 50 in breadth, and five stories in heighth, totally
encompassed in flames., No fire in London, since the destruc-
tion of both the Houses of Parliament, ever had an appearance
so awfully grand as in the present instance. Although the moon
appeared wholly unclouded, yet the universal volumes of flame'
shone forth with surpassing brightness, being only at times'
partially obscured by the dense masses of smoke that ascended'
as additional properties were included in the general devasta-
tion. The above engines on their arrival were got to work, a
good supply of water being obtained from a ditch a short dis-
tance from the premises; but, though they were got into opera-
tion with inconceivable alacrity, the flames had gained such a
hold of the premises that the saving of any portion of them
was impossible, and fears were entertained that a windmill,
which is situated close to them, would likewise fall a sacrifice ;
in fact, the sails had taken fire, but one of the branches of an
engine being applied to them, the fire was quickly extingui§hed.
About one o'clock, the roof fell in with a tremendous rash,
which partly assisted the firemen in their operations, but the
flames were not got under till near two o'clock this morning,
when all danger ceased. It was impossible to obtain the cor-
rect particulars, during the confusion that prevailed, as to the'
origin of the fire. Some conjecture it to have been occasioned
by the overheating of the flues connected with the drying de-
partment of the premises, and others attributed it to the chim-
ney taking fire. The amount of property destroyed must be
enormous, but whether Mr. Horne is insured to the full extent
could not be ascertained. He is, however; insured in the Al-
liance Fire-office. The attendance of the R division of police
was most numerous, and they exerted themselves to the utmost
during the raging of the fire. No lives were lost.
Yesterday morning, between the hours of eight and
nine, the family of Mr. Dawe, of No. 9, Southampton-place,
New-road, near St. Pancras Church, was thrown into con-
sternation by the discovery of a deliberate act of self-destruc-
tion having been committed by Elizabeth Richardson, a ser-
vant in the employ of that gentleman. It appears that one of
the other servants came to Mr. Davve in a state of alarm, say-
ing she had been calling at a closet door, which was fastened
and could not obtain an answer from Elizabeth, who was with.
''in. Upon this, a lad who was present, burst open the door,
when the appalling:spectacle presented itself of the unfortunate
woman with her throat cut, and weltering in her blood. Mr.
Ellis, surgeon, of Melton-street, Euston-square, was imme-
diately called in, but the vital spark was extinct. - The de-
/ceased had bled-to death ;by her side was a dessert knife
with which she had effected her deadly purpose. She was
about 40 years of age, and no cause can be assigned for the
fatal act, unless the conjectural one of despondency arising
!from her having received notice from her master to quit his
;_service.
