FlRE.—This morning, between one and two
o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out in the house of Mr. Roland,
No. 42, Jermyn-street, and "-occupied as a lodging-house for
gentlemen. The flames were so impetuous, that in a few mi-
nutes the building was one entire blaze. The devouring ele-
ment soon communicated to an adjoining building kept by Mrs.
Groves, also a lodging-house, and both were entirely demo-
lished. A vast number of engines speedily arrived on the-
spot ; and although a plentiful supply of water was procured,
all exertions to save the premises were fruitless. Not a vestige
of the valuable property was secured from whence the fire -
commenced, and nothing remains but the bare walls.
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT AND FORTUNATE ESCAPE.
—The Journals of Switzerland contain the following recital :
On December 20, four men, belonging to the parish of I,enk,
formed the rash project of penetrating into the Vallais by the
Ravylberg, to purchase brandy. They fortunately arrived there
and made their purchases, but the snow which fell in the night
rendered their return nearly impossible. Braving the danger,
however, they set out, and reached the top of the mountain and
the dangerous passage, called the Terrible Corner. Here they
ventured on a small bridge which unites two points of rock,
and one of them, a young man, aged 23, lost his self-corn-
' mend, slipped off, and fell down the terrible precipice be-
neath. The small cask of brandy which he had on his bead
yhethdeyarkagnaeisrst
accelerated his fall, and his companions saw him tumble from
rock to rock without being able to give him the least
assistance. They hastened, however, to the neighbouring vil.
