FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT BATSWATER.-00
Saturday morning last a fire of a very distressing chit'
Teeter, in which an aged female was burnt to death.
happened at No. 10, Burk-place, Bayswater. The pre'
wises were in the occupation of Mrs. Mary Forester, •
Swiss lady, who, it is to be regretted, was berrit afinost
to a cinder. It appears that about eight o'clock in the
evening, some persons living opposite discovered the lad!
making to the front window with the whole of her wear'
ing apparel on fire, and the flames were mounting over,
her head. Before she had time to reach the window she
fell from exhaustion in the middle of the fluor. The
neighbours having apprised the inmates of the house' of
what they had witnessed from the outside, they made gi
the room occupied by the deceased. Upon entering the'
same a most distressing scene presented itself, for in the
middle of the room was to be seen the unfortunate lady'
lying on the floor, with the whole of her wearing apparel
not merely in a general b1az,..., but the flooring of the
room was also burning most furiously. Owing to the,
exertions of the residents in the place, the fire was el'`
tinguished, but not until Mrs. Forester was burned 10
death, and some considerable damage done to the furoif
ture and contents of the building by fire and water. All
!inquest will be held on the body this day, which may
probably show the origin of the fire.
The FIRE IN WIIITEFRIARS.—The fire which "eh'
' curred on Saturday morning last was attended with *
I much greater destruction of property than was at fire
supposed. Only a fortnight ago Mr. Gadsby had a fount
'of new type, weighing eighteea cwt., placed in the
building which has been destroyed. He had also',
lanother fount, weighing one ton, of nonpareil; wbioho',
with 60,000 sheets of parer bearing the penny- steo3Pi
has been wholly destroyed. Two printing presses; one'
'valued at 1501. and the other at 1001., have fibewieer
been rendered worthless by the heat of the fire.. .Fori'
tuaately the machine room and more valuable portion 91)
!Mr- Gadsby's stock were protected by means of strol4
!party walls; if such had not been the case, the loss' OR
'property would have been fearful. As it was, notbiga '
fin the building where the outbreak began was saved.
iAn inquiry has since been made with a view of learnlngl,
'how the fire began, but without success. Not so
Ll3llC_ll
:as a conjecture can be formed. The following is a cog.
of Mr. Connorton's official report as sent to the West 04'
!England Fire-office:—No. 2if, Bouverie-street, Mr,
'Gadsby, printer, building destroyed, estimated loss *boob
,000/. ; stock in trade destroyed, supposed loss 2,0001.
No. 25i, ditto, Mr. Gadsby, roof of premises damaged
.by fire, and stock by water and removal, supposed lose' .

TEE BRISTOL MURDERESS.—It has now beep
definitely fixed that the execution of thei convict SeriT.
Harriet Thomas, fur the murder of her mistress, Itli** '
efferies, at Bristol, will take place on Friday next over •
he lodge door of the gaol. Her manners remain much;
he same as immediately after her conviction altisougli.,
he is somewhat more restless and anxious. The Relr''',
Ir. Swete, the chaplain of the gaol, is unceasing in hig,,
ttt ntion to her, and visits her thrice daily, for the pur'::
ose of assisting to prepare her mind for the seefer'
•hange which awaits her. A report has been circulated
n Bristol that the wretched girl has made a full code!'
iou of her guilt to the reverend chaplain, but it is ae:,.
ogether destitute of truth.

Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— About three years
