THE LATE CONFLAGRATION.--The fol-
lowing is the number of premises destroyed anti partially
damaged by this de-tructive fire, of which we gave an ac-
count yesterday :—Those of Messrs. Ilona 'MON and Co.,
Mr. AWARD, printer; Messrs. SEHDONS ; the National
School; the stables belonging to Mr. SHIA RSIAN ; Mr.
WASP, leather-manufacturer; Mr. Nirmxixsor and Mr.
Cousios, have been entirely consumed, together with
nearly all the valuable stock in trade. The back front
wall of Mr. SLAM carpenter, has been completely de-
molished, and also the back gable-end of Messrs. BAGSTICH
and THOMAS'S premises. In addition to these, nearly 20
other houses contiguous to the fire have been partially
damaged. Upon a moderate calculation, and upon in-
quiries of the suffering parties, the loss sustained amounts
to little less than 200,000/. The confusion was so great
that our informant was unable to ascertain to what extent

insurances were effected. In addition to the accounts in
the Evening Papers, which we believe to be correct, the
following particulars of this disastrous event have been
subsequently ascertained. The quantity of oil, in addi-
tion to other combustible articles, on the premises of
Messrs. Hourarron and MIMI:Wag at the time the fire
toek place, may be estimated from the fact, that by three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, not less than ten barrels of oil
were secured at Blackfriam-bridge by the fishermen, water-
men, &c., by means of scoops, ladles, &c., taking the oil
tiff the water in the same way that a dairy woman would
take the cream off the milk which had stood for twenty-
(lna hours; and the •il had run through all the common
sewers from Bartholomew-close to Blackfriars-bridge for
some time before any one thought of securing any part
thereof in the manner described ; and even then the oil
was upwards of twelve inches deep above the stream of
the Fleet river, which falls at Blackfriars-bridge into the
Thames. The Sun Fire-office, which fe understood to be
interested in a part of the property destroyed on this occa-
sion, sent one of their officers to prevent the nil gathered
at Illackfriars-bridge from being carried away by the indi-
viduals who had collected it, promising at the sates time
that they should be compensated for their trouble ; and we
believe that the poor industrious fellows are satisfied with
such promise, but at the present time we know not-how
the affair is adjusted beyond what is understood among
them, that is, that the Sun Fire-office, having taken pos-
session of •the oil, will pay at any rate salvage.

On Monday night an inquest was held at the
King mad Queen, Hare-street, Bethnal-green, on the body
of WILLIAM PULLEN, aged 60, which was discovered sus.
pendod from a tree on Saturday list, near Three Colt-
fields, Hackney. It appeared that the unfortunate man
had been driven to the act by the disgraceful conduct of
his wife, who was much addicted to drinking. The fol-
lowing paper was found in his pocket :—" This is to say
that I, WILLIAM Puu,ew, am no more in this world : so
adieu to you all. I hope my wife will now keep her
word, and sell me to the doctors when she gets a hold of
me. She may also sell the h-use of the house. There is
one thing I almost forgot, and that is, Airs. your
companion, that drunken wretch, you and she have
been
the cause of my death. These are the remains of Wm.
PuLtxx, of No. I, New Church street, Mile-end New
town." ,Thr

A Correspondent informs us that an insur-
;ection has taken plaice in Catalonia of a formidable nature,
but we cannot vouch for the correctness of the statement.

REPORTED MURDER.-- A man, named
Jam( MANGAN, who has lived in Cochra►►e's•buildings,
in Lombard-street, is in custody at the New Bailey,
awaiting the result of a Coroner's inquest, which will be
held this day, touching the death of his wife, who, his
neighbours say, came to her death by his means. As far
as we can understand the matter, there had been noknown
quarrel between the ptrties ; but about noon on Sunday,
some of the neighbOurs, going into hit house, found her
upon the bed, apparently in a dying state, with her hut-
band beside her, seemingly distressed at her illness. Sur-
gical aid was called in, but the unfortunate woman ex,.
Aired previously to its arrival--....in fart, in a few minutes
after she was tint seen by the neighbours. The husband's
account is, that his wife fell off the bed in a fit; that he
lifted her up, but she expired without speaking. There
was, however, a alight 'anise upon one cheek, and a little
discolonration about the throat, which appeared not
likely to have resulted from a fall. flow the matter
really is, Perhaps the inquest will detertnine,—Monehesfer
