ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.-
7HIS DAY.

This morning a common hall was held for the purpose
of electing a Lo'l Mayor for the year ensuing.
The Lord Mayor (Alderman Cubitt), and sheriffs and
aldermen having attended at divine service at the Church
of St. Lawrence Tury, at a few minutes after one entered
the Guildhall, which was very fully attended by members
of the livery.
The Common Sergeant opened the proceedings, and the
Town etier came forward and read the names of the eligible
aldermen, the first name being that of Alderman William
Rose.

The election of the livery was declared to have fallen on
Alderman Rose and Alderman Lawrence.
The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs then proceeded
to their own court, and having gone through the usual for-
malities, they returned to the Guildhall, and announced
they had decided that Alderman Rose should fill the office
of chief magistrate for the City of London for the year
ensuing.

The announcement was received with loud cheers.

Alderman Rose, Lord Mayor elect, then returned thanks
for the honour conferred upon him, and the proceedings
terminated.

GREAT CONFLAGRATION IN MARY-
LEBoNE—(I.rris DAY.)

Between the hours of three and four o'clock this (Mon-
day) morning the greatest possible excitement prevailed in
the parish of Marylebone, in consequence of the outbreak
of a serious fire, which continued to rage for several hours,
destroying in its progress property of great value and
jeopardising the lives of several families.

The premises in which the disaster commenced were in
the tenure of Mr. H. Buckland, an upholsterer, and also
proprietor of the Westmoreland Turkish Baths, situated in
Westmoreland-street and 'Westmoreland-mews, Maryle-
bone. The several workshops and front houses occupied a
large space of ground, and adjoined the cabinetmakers'
workshops belonging to Mr. John James Pope, the coach-
factory of Mr. Passmore, and the extensive lodging-house
of M. Jules Joubert.

Owing to the close proximity of each building the neigh-
bours naturally felt the greatest concern for the safety of
their property, it being feared that every building in the
mews and those in front would have been speedily levelled
with the ground, for the flames in less than five minutes
after the discovery shot high into the air, and illuminated
the exterior of the Colosseum at Regent's-park, and at the
same time brought out in bold relief the tracery of the
various district church steeples. This caused many of the
inhabitants to rush out of their habitations with their chil-
dren in their arms—some were only partially dressed, and
some had nothing on more than their night clothes.
The police at once despatched messengers in sundry di-
rections to call the Royal Society's fire escapes, and also
the engines of the London brigade and parish. In the
course of a few minutes three escapes were in attendance,
followed by the parish engine and those of the London bri-
gade from Baker-street, King-street, Golden-square, Wells -
street, Crown-street, and the powerful land steam engine,
by Shand and Mason, from Chandos-street. Upon the
arrival of this force the firemen found that the whole of Mr.
Buckland's workshops were in a tremendous body of flame,
which was attacking with full vigour the extensive stock
of timber and veneers of Mr. Pope, the cabinetmaker,
and those of Mr. fassmore, the coachbuilder, in the Mews,
as well as the front house of Mr. Buckland, in West-
moreland-street, and another belonging to Mr. Joubert in
the same street—in fact, the flames had penetrated through
the whole of the back windows in the last•-named building.
Under the direction of Mr. Staples, the chief officer of
the C district of brigade, the firemen had the engines so
placed round the blazing property that they could com-
mand an attack upon the fire at each point. The firemen
and parish engineers stuck to their work, it is only right to
say, in an admirable manner, although exposed to great
danger, but a long time elapsed before they could get the
flames subdued, and not until a serious amount of mischief
was done, which is thus officially returned to the different
insurance' offices by Captain Shaw, superintendent of the
brigade :

" Sept. 29, 1862, a fire broke out about 3.15 a.m. in the
premises of Mr. H. Buckland, upholsterer and proprietor of
the Turkish Baths, situate in Westmoreland-street and
Westmoreland-mews, Marylebone. The contents were in-
sured in the Sun Fire-office. The building supposed to be
insured in the Westminster Office. The cause of fire un-
known. The firo was extinguished by firemen and parish
engineers, with three C engines of brigade, the parish, and
one B steam engine by Shand and Mason. The whole of
the workshops, dressing-rooms, and kitchen on ground floor,
and contents, very seriously damaged by fire, and back of
front house and contents damaged by heat, smoke, &c.
" Do. Mews—Mr. John James Pope, cabinetmaker. Con-
tents in timber-yard, with the first floor and staircases,
very seriously damaged by fire, water, &c. Contents and
buildings insured in the Sun Fire-office.

"Do. Mews—Mr. C. W. Passmore, coachmaker. Con-
tents on ground and second floor damaged by fire, heat, and
water. Contents insured in the County Fire-office.
"No. 5, Westmoreland-street, M. Jules Joubert, lodg-
ing-house keeper. Back windows burned out, and rest of
building and contents damaged by heat and water. The
building was insured in the W estminster Fire-office, but
the contents were uninsured."

Whilst the above fire was raging, another took place in
the premises of Madame Berrstein, a lodging-house keeper,
at 22, Sutherland-street, Pimlico, which greatly endan-
gered the lives of the inmates. The fire commenced in the
basement, and, owing to the density of the smoke, scarcely
any one could sea ; but they were all rescued. The engines
of the brigade from Herseferry-road, and other stations,
quickly attended, as well as that of the parish, but the fire
was not extinguished until considerable damage was done
to the furniture and also to the building. The origin of the
fire is unlmown. Unfortunately, the sufferer was not in-
sured. The police rendered essential aid to the firemen at
each conflagration by keeping the populace out of danger.
Two other fires occurred about the same time, but the
damage done was so trifling as not to merit notice.
