ALARMING FIRE IN LAMBETH.—Yesterday morning,
shortly befbre one o'clock, information was received at
the fire stations that a fire had broken out in Kenning-
ton-lane. The engines of the West of England, Lon-
don Brigade, Messrs. Hodges' distillery, and Price's
candleworks attended, when the firemen found that the
outbreak had taken place in the premises of Mr.
Smith, an oilman, No. 1, South-place, Kennington-
lane. An abundance of water having been obtained
from the Lambeth Company's mains, the firemen went
to work, and soon subdued the flames. The police, it
should be stated, kept the doors closed, and even held
up the shutters when nearly burnt through, which kept
the draught out, and thereby much property was saved
from destruction. The Royal Society's escape and Mr.
Baddeley arrived, but happily the inmates were enabled
to escape without assistance. Mr. Smith was insured
in the Royal Exchange Office.
FIRE AT PIMLICO.—This morning, between 12 and 1
o'clock, a destructive fire broke out on the promises of
Mr. John Langham, a grocer, at No. 81, Ponsonby's,
place, Vauxhall-bridge-road, Pimlico. The building,
which was of great extent, formed the angle of two tho-
roughfares, viz., Prospect-place and Ponsouby-place.
With as little delay as possible the engines of the Lon-
don Brigade and West of England office, with Mr.
Staples and Mr. Connorton, were soon on the spot, as
well as the Royal Society's escapes. Unfortunately, for
some time a great lack of water was experienced, and
owing to the flames being unrestrained they continued
to progress fearfully. At length a plentiful supply of
water was procured from which the engines were set to
work, but in spite of the torrents of water thrown upon
the fire it continued to spread, and eventually the entire
structure presented one immense sheet of flame. The
firemen, to save the adjoining houses, had to mount the
roofs, and by that expedient the fire was principally con-
fined to the premises in which it began, but it is to be
regretted that they were totally destroyed, and several
lodgers in the house have lost the whole of their pro-
perty.
DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.—During Tuesday night the
inhabitants of Queen's Head-lane, Lower-road, Islington,
were aroused from their slumbers and greatly terrified,
in consequence of some person or persons going from
house to house and breaking the whole of the windows.
Out of the whole row of houses in the place not one has
escaped, and several panes of glass were likewise de-
molished in the Queen's Head Tavern. The only object
the parties could have had in view, it is thought, was to
deteriorate the value of the houses, the occupants being
poor but industrious persons.
RESTORATION OF DONCASTER CUURCII. —Tile site of the
ruins of Doncaster parish church, which was burned
down on the 28th of February last, is now nearly cleared
of the debris. The money already subscribed towards
the rebuilding of the church amounts to upwards of
26,0001., but nearly 10,000/. more will be required to
effect a complete restoration of the late edifice.
A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult. says— " The King
of Prussia, during his stay at Vienna, paid a visit to
Prince Metternich. It is said that when the King
and the Prince had been talking of possible eventualities
in Europe, the latter declared that the maintenance of
peace was a matter of necessity, even at the price of
certain sacrifices. This visit of the King, who was I,
accompanied by two aides-de-camp, is the subject of
general conversation."

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.

The twenty-fifth annual dinner of the supporters of
this institution took place yesterday, at the Highbury
Barn Tavern, and was more numerously attended than
on any previous occasion ; Charles Charrington, Esq.,
of the firm of Charrington, Head, and Co., was in the
chair, supported by numbers of the most influential
members of the trade. The Secretary read a report,
which gave a very favourable account of the progress of
the institution, although complaint was made that of the
10,000 licensed victuallers of the metropolis only 3,000
contributed to its funds. The subscriptions of the
past year had amounted to a sum of 2,7831., an
amount far beyond the receipts of any previous
year. There had also been a clear profit of 2551.
from the last annual ball, being also a greater amount
than had ever before been received from that source.
The report contained a strong expression of thanks to
the chairman and the firm with which he was con-
nected, who, besides being most liberal contributors to
the charity, had that day by their exertions added no
less than 30 subscribers to their list, whose subscriptions
exceeded 132 guineas. During the quarter of a century
that the society had existed, there had been 336 inmates
in the asylum, of whom 188 had died, and 148 were now
participating in the benefits of the institution. There
were now five vacant dwellings in the asylum, which
would be filled up this year. Besides affording abodes
to the destitute, the society supplied to them coals,
medicine, and medical assistance, besides a money
allowance per week. The endowment, however, was
not sufficient to enable them to put all the inmates on
weekly allowances, while to those who had it, the
amount was too small to afford the relief which was
desired. The source of these allowances was at present
uncertain, and the board of management was anxious
to get a permanent capital for that purpose. A list
of subscriptions was announced. The whole sum sub-
scribed was about 2,500/.

ETON COLLEGE.—Two resignations have arrived from
the Provost of King's College, Cambridge, to the Pro-
vost of Eton College, which will be filled up by Lam.
bert, K.S., the present captain, and Shurley, K.S.,
leaving Marißier, K.S., the new captain. The vacancies
at King's College were occasioned by the resignation of
the Rev. Henry Mildred Birch, late tutor to the Prince
of Wales, and formerly one of the assistant masters of
Eton College, and the resignation of the Rev. Harry
Dupuis, also an assistant master ; Mr. Birch having ac-
cepted the valuable living at Preston, patron the Earl
of Wilton, and the Rev. Harry Dupuis having been in-
stituted to the vicarage of Richmond, Surrey, patron
the Provost and Fellows of King's College, Cambridge.
Mr. Marillier, the new captain of the school, will also
shortly have a resignation, in consequence of the Rev.
Mr. Measor having accepted the living of King ston-
upcn-Thatnes, in the gift of the Provost and Fellows of
OP ST. PAUL'S CHURCH OXFORD.—
