MORE FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE.

Last night, at a few minutes before seven o'clock, too
fires broke out almost simultaneously, one in the premisos
belonging to Mr. Henry Wilson, No. 2, Hemmings-r0
Chapel-street, Liverpool-road, and the other in tia
building belonging to Mr. W. May, eating
-housost
keeper, No. 119, Aldersgate-street, City. Both fire;
were occasioned from the same cause, viz., a spark
wil
from a lighted candle amongst the bed furniture, l
set the contents of the rooms in flames. The engines °
the London Brigade, parish, and West of England were
remarkably early in arriving, but considerable daresie
was done in each case before the flames could be colt;
quered. Both sufferers it was understood were insured
in the Sffi.
A fireun offi are-o veryce distressing character, and unforV;
nately attended with loss of life, broke out at a late boo
on Sunday night in the premises belonging to 3141;
Levine, waterproof clothing manufacturer, situate at /
Castle-street, Whitechapel. The fire originated frl
some unexplained cause in the front room first floor, it
which three men were sleeping at the time. Au inst
alarm was given, and information of the outbreak. 71
dispatched to the engine and fire escape stations. 1°,5
very brief period the parish engine and theßoyal So&ietyes
fire-escape attended, closely followed by several engiljof
of the London Brigade. Upon Wood, the conductor
of
the escape, entering the premises, he found the wh°_,lB t.
the inmates in great danger, on account of the suff':he
ing smoke that was rushing up the stairs. With t
exception of one person, a young man named gaufioc,
Abrahams, the inmates effected a safe retreat. UPI,
the conductor entering the room in which the fire bei,,
he beheld a fearful scene, for the unfortunate raan
found in a corner of the apartment burnt in a frigh_A
manner, much so that when he touched him the fl`
came off his body.
The parish engineer and the London Brigade raen
went to work, and being aided by a plentiful suPPIY.'O,
water, furnished by the East London CompanYs nial be
the flames were subdued, but not until that part of too
premises in which the misfortune began was burn
an the contents consumed. ste
A surgeon was sent for to attend upon the unfortu° ri.
man who was so shockingly burned, but, upon his 10
val, he pronounced life to be extinct. It appears t
the deceased had previously assisted the other tvve.fad
in effecting their escape, when he became surrono
with flames and dropped in the midst of them. The b
was placed in a shell, and removed to the workhousite y
await a coroner's inquest, which it is understood Ili'
held to-day.
Unfortunately, neither Mr. Levine nor anY of
inmates was insured.

DEMONSTRATION CF COLLIERS 421

WAKEFIELD.

.••
An important demonstration of colliers took Prog
yesterday at Wakefield. The object of the o,theding,
was the organisation of the colliers of the West olhofe
so as to enable them to support the demand they ol•
made for an advance of wages proportionate to theta,
vance in the price of coal. Coal having risen la t.ket
they ask that 3d. of that 10d. should go into the pi-wi
of the miner. The proprietors of collieries gen, it is
seem to withstand the demand on the ground thi'",iof
unreasonable. About two hundred men in the ew„i`ict
of Messrs. Leather, at their colliery near Leeds, 6;oipt,
some time ago, and have ever since been
.
of 10s. a week. The men employed at the e01,116'
of Mr. Pope, at Crigglestone, near Wakefield, "
also struck. The demonstration of Monday
tended for the miners of the whole Riding,
hoot
bills announcing it having been circulated threti?,,z i%
the Riding, with a request from the delegate rueet7de °'
the miners of Yorkshire, that the day should 1)01)304
general holiday. There were not, however, sOn" bs4'
miners present as there doubtless would have h,etirlif
for one circumstance, and that was that Messrs• u;eOr''
worth, whose collieries are very extensive, and w'hm
ploy between 2,000 and 3,000 hands, gave all the' them
a dinner, with the object, it was said, of keePivg
from the demonstration. Notwithstanding 00 ,t,ro;
were present at the New Market, where the deep, 0.
tion took place, nearly 3,000 working colliers lob
parts of the West Riding, including the neighbour 06
of Leeds, Barnsley, Huddersfield, Bradford, bea
proceedings lasted about two hours, the ulla'
occupied by Mr. John Seymour. of, fir
A memorial to Lord Palmerston was tion.approvea

to which miners are exposed at present in purlguntge Of
