DISASTROUS FIRE,--This morning a fire broke out
in the premises of Mr. Ellis, cornehandler, Edwin-terrace,
I3urdell-road, Stepney. The inmates of 'the house were
rescued by the fire-escape men, but the flames had got such
a hold upon the building by the time fire engines arrived
that it was impossible to save the house, and it and its con-
tents were consumed, causing great loss.
SERIOUS FIRE.—A fire took place in the house of
Mr. Trayfield, hairdresser, 191, Whitechapel-road, this
morning. The inmates escaped, but the fire was not got
out until it had destroyed the shop and first floor.
BREA.CII OF PROMISE.—An action for breach of
promise of marriage was tried in the Court of Commons
Pleas yesterday. A young girl named Berry sued a Mr.
Da Costa for damages. There could be no doubt that the
promise had been made and that the plaintiff had been se-
duced. Ultimately the defendant married his mother's
maid. The jury gave the plaintiff a verdict for £2,500.
AN UNLUCKY PARTNER.--A strange accident has
taken place at a public ball at Vienna. An officer became
entangled by the crinoline of his partner, and falling, broke
one of his logs ; the lady rolling over him in her turn, fell
On the other leg and fractured it likewise.
