EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN THE BOROUGH.—On
Saturday afternoon a fire of a fearful character, attended
with great loss of property and almost fatal conse-
quences to several persons, broke out in the premises
belonging to Messrs. Villani, Odourdo, and Co., French
hat-manufacturers, 153, Union-street, Borough, between
Little Guildford-street and Southwark-bridge-road. The
flames originated from some cause not clearly ascer-
tained, at the lower part of the establishment, at which
time various bands were at work, and so rapidly did the
fire extend, that the workpeople had to make a precipi-
tate retreat—those in the lower part of the house were
enabled to reach the street in safety and with little diffi-
culty, but those in the upper part had to make their way
over the roof. The engines were almost immediately on
the spot, but the fire was not extinguished until the pre-
mises were completely gutted.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills an effectual
Remedy for Gout and Rheumatism.—Extract of a letter
from Mr. W. Moon, at Messrs. Godwin's, auctioneers,
Winchester, dated April 8, 1852.—" To Professor
Holloway.—Sir,----I beg to inform you that for years I
was a sufferer from chronic rheumatism, and often laid
up for weeks together, unable to move. I was attended
by the most eminent surgeons here, but obtaining no
relief, was induced to go into our County Hospital. The
medical treatment there, however, being of no avail, I
left, and commenced using your Pills, which, lam
happy to say, in a short time, effected a perfect cure,
and enabled me to resume my employment."—Sold by
