This (Monday) memning between the hours of one and
two o'clock, great alarm was caused in the neighbourhood
of Islington in consequence of a fire breaking out in the
premises belonging to Mr. G. A. Crabbe, a chandler, and
carrying on basiness at No. 20, Popham. street, in the
beMrenamed parish. The discovery was made by a police-
constable of the N division seeing. smoke pouring out
of the shop windows. The constdble at once sounded an
alarm in the usual way, and sent for the Royal Society's
escapes and engines. After the lapse of a few minutes the
inmates were sensible of their impending danger, and they
happily succeeded in reaching the street in safety. Two
of the Royal Society's escape, three parish engines, and
three others of the London Brigade were soon in attend-
ance, but the fire could not be extinguished until con-
siderable damage was done to the building and its contents
by fire and water. The origin of the misfortune was un-
known, but fortunately Mr. Crabbe was insured in the
General Fire Office.

A fire also took place during Sunday night, in the pre-
mises belonging to Messrs. Boulcott and Co., timber
merchants, situate at Regent's-canal wharf, Limehouse,
which at one time threatened very serious results. The
fire commenced from some unexplained cause in the
c,,untiag house on the ground floor, the most import,nt
part of the building, wherein the books and other valuable
documents were deposited connected with the establish-
ment. Two private engines quickly attended, as well as
the Royal Society's escapes, followed in rapid succession by
three manual power engines, and one of the land steamers
by Shand and Mason of Upper Ground street, Blackfriars,
under the command of Captain Shaw, the superintendant
of the London Brigade. Fortunately, the mains of the
East London Company yielded a good supply of water,
from which the firemen went to work, but although they
succeeded in saving the upper part of the premises, the
damage done below was very extensive, but not so serious
as to impede the business from being carried on as here
tofore. Fortunately, the firm was insured in the Phoenix
Fire Office.
