DREADFUL FIRES.
n Monday evening the premises of 11r. Tilliard.
oil and colour-man, No. 2S. Great Suffolk-street, Borough,
were completely destroyed by fire, which broke cut in
the cellar, and which in a very short time communicated
every part of the building. In addition to the corn-
itible materials with which the place was stocked,
_ere was in the upper part of the warehouse a large
quantity :of gunpowder, which, when reached by the
flames, exploded with a tremendous report, carrying tho
roof into the air and totally destroying the walls. It was
fortunate that the want of a supply of water procrasti-
nated the operations of the firemen and the engines, for
if they had been on the spot which they would probably
have occupied, there is every reason to believe the loss of
life would have been very great, from the fail of the ruins
and the effects of the explosion. As it was, several per-
sons who ventured too near, in ignorance of the danger
they incurred, were more or less injured by the falling
fragments of the building. The inmates of the upper part
of the warehouse had scarcely time to escape, and it way
with difficulty that the daughter of Mr. Tilliard, a boy
about nine years, and his sister, about five years old, with
the shop-boy, succeeded in getting into the yard; their
clothes were on fire, but fortunately, by the exertions of
their neighbours, they were dragged out of the pre-
mises, and assisted over a back wall into Revel's-row.
A lad in the employ of Mr. Tilliard was injured by an
explosion which took place in the shop; his hand was
severely cut, and he was removed to Guy's Hospital,
where he still remains. Water was eventually obtained,
and the engines of the London Brigade and West of
England Company succeeded, by nine o'clock, in extin-
guishing the flames.

About an hour previously to this disastrous fire
another fire broke out in the factory of Messrs. Ash-
lieu and Son, 55, Cornwall-road, Lambeth, water-
proofing hat-maker, by which a cousid.raole damage
was done to the premises, and several of the work
people injured; two were so badly burnt that it was
necessary to take them to Guy's Hospi•al. There being
a plentiful supply of water, the firemen sucet-ed.d in
confining the flames to the proof•maker's shop, which
was completely destroyed.
Subjoined is a copy of the official report of the extent
of damage done:—

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
JUDGES' CHAMBERS, April 3.
APOTHECARIES' COMPANY V. WELLS.

This was an action brought in the Bloomsbury County
Court by the plaintiffs against the defendant, who is a
chemist, for a penalty of 201., for practising as an
apothecary, without having a certificate, and was fixEd
t..r trial in the County Court in Berners-street, on
Thursday next, but the defendant had obtained a
certiorari under the County Court Act, to remove the
trial into the Queen's Bench; and the question to-day
was whether that certiorari should be quashed.
• Mr. J. 0. Griffiths appeared as Counsel for the plain-
tiffs, and Mr. Stone for the defendant; and after hearing
the Learned Gently-men at some length,
The Learned JUDGE made an order that the certiorari
should be quashed, unless the defendant found satisfac-
tory security for the costs within a week.

(13etore Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
PUTTER V. COLLINS AND ANOTIIER.—A REPORTER
LIBELLED.
..._. .

This was an application on asummons calling upoa
the defendants to admit the existence of the indictments,
convictions, and sentences of the Chartist leaders, Ernest
Jones, Fussell, and the other tour who were tried and
convicted at the Central Criminal Court, the said Char-
lists being severally sentenced to be imprisoned fur two
years.
From the statement of Mr. Phillpotts, who appeared
on the part of the plaintiff, who is a short-hand writer
and reporter, the plaintiff was called upon by the Go-
vernment to give evidence against some of the defend-
ants. After they had been tried and convicted, the de-
fendants, who are the proprietors of the Hull Advertiser,
published a certain false and malicious libel, in which
they reflected on the character of the plaintiff, and
another reporter. The defendants refusing to retract
the said libel, he brought an action, and in the
pleading averred that the said Chartists were tried and
convicted in due course of.law. Defendants in their re-
plication denied that the said persons called Chartists
were SO convicted. Plaintiff, therefore, was compelled,
to establish the plea, to obtain attested copies of the
several convictions, and to do this the fees for such a
transcript would considerably exceed 1001.; and his
Lordship, under these circumstances, was called upon
to make an order on the defendants to examine and
admit the existence of the records.
Mr. Justice PATTESON observed, as there was no
legal existence of the documents in consequence of the
conviction and sentence not being recorded in thein-
dictment, he could make no order, but probably the
plaintiff might be assisted by applying to the Govern-
ment.

Mr. PHILLPOTTS said such an application had Leen
made to Sir G. Grey, as the Home Secretary, who re-
gretted that he had no power to order either the making
up of the records or of causing them to be produced, A
memorial had also been presented to the Crown on the
subject, but without success.
Mr Justice PLTTFSON regretted the peculiar position
of the plaintiff, but he bad no power to interfere, and
the summons must therefore be dismissed.

A SINGULAR DIVORCE CASE.—Tbe jury, in a di-
vorce case at New Orleans, have rendered a verdict de-
claring the marriage of Kate Meadows to John Proctor,
both belonging to the stage, null and void, on account
of a previous marriage to another woman having been
proved. Kate applied for the divorce on the ground that
Proctor, at the time that they were married, had agreed
merely to pass as her husband, without claiming any of
the marital rights of his position, but had since insisted
on violating this portion of the contract. Hence she
brought the writ to obtain a divorce.
THE NEGLECT OF LIFE ASSURINCE.—It il a
remarkable fact, but one ascertained beyond the shadow
of a doubt—and, indeed, we are disposed to stake our
reputation, as the only life assurance organ, on the
truth of what we are going to assert--that not five per
cent. of the whole population have had the forecast to
perform the most important duty that devolves upon all
men—but more especially those " who marry wives "
namely, assuring their lives. Scarcely two per cent. of
the population of the entire kingdom have done so. This
is the more remarkable and unaccountable, since the
death of ev,r) 1,000 persons in the middle and lower
ranks of life who have not assured their lives leaves at
-least 4,000 women and children in poverty, if not in
absolute penury, who might otherwise be left in coat—
parative ailluence.—Reporter.
