FIRE IN LAMBETH.—Yesterday morning, about
Eve o'clock, a fire, attended with a considerable destrue•
con of properiy, and nearly fatal results to the inmates,
broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr. C. Coch-
rane, a corn and seed merchant, carrying on business ill
the New cut, Lambeth, next door to the Windmill Ts-
vern. The discovery was made by Police-constable 196
of the L division, through seeing a body of smoke pour-
ing forth from the basement floor. The officer imme-
diately aroused the residents, when they found the flames
ascending the staircase so fiercely as to prevent their
descending. They immediately went to the second floor,
but there they were fellowed by the fire, and they were
at length obliged to jump upon a leaden roof over one of
the stores filled with hay and straw. Whilst waiting
there for a ladder, the flames shot through the windows
and trap-door, so that nothing but destruction stared
them in the face. Two police officers having got a short
ladder, they held it out at arms length in the form of
a bridge, over which the parties passed into the hotted'
enjoining. Nearly three hours elapsed ere the fire was
extinguished, and not until the whole of Mr. Cochran.'/
furniture, wearing apparel, and stick in trade wore do.,
stroyed, and the premises nearly gutted.
DREADFUL SHIPWRECK. THIRTEEN PERsoll
STARVED TO DEATH.—By the Emma Sherratt, which
arrived yesterday, from Sydney, particulars have been
received rtla'ive to the loss of the British ship Sarah
Crisp, Captain Taylor master, and the appalling suffer-
ings of the crew, thirteen of whom perished from starve'
tion. The Emma Sherratt, on her outward voyage W
Hong-Kong, in lat. 170. 28. N., long. 116. 5. E., Ref'
ceiviug a vessel in distress, bore down to her assist"
ance, and she proved to be the unfortunate vessel is
question. She was teak laden, and waterlagged—almost
a perfect wreck—her masts were gone, as well as every'
thing on deck. With much care, nineteen persons, in s
most shocking state of exhaustion, were taken off the
wreck by the Emma Sherratt's boats. They proved to
be Capt.in Taylor, the master; Mr. Long, the chief
mate; and 17 seamen. The it sufferings had been mill
awful—they had been 27 nights end days on the wreck,
with nothing to subsist on excepting a monkey and trio
fish. All the water they had was about a couple of
buckets, which they caught by some old canvass. The
second mate and 12 set,men had died from want of sub'
sistence. The ship's loss was attributed to a plank
starting, as she filled in a very short time, and turned
over on her side. The crew jumped on her beam 0
she went over, and there held on until daylight, when
they succeeded in righting the wreck by cutting awl/
the mast. Her poop and forecastle were washed away'
Not a vestige of provisions that were below could be
procured. The wreck is supposed to have parted 00d
disappeared soon after the Emma Sherratt left. The
vessel and cargo were insured to the amount of 20.0001.
THE MARBLE ARCH.—We have no faith ii the
statement of some of our contemporaries thbt the
marble arch is going to Windsor. Our correspo .dent
puts before us the suggestion made in the Athencesnh
that it should be erected in front of the British Mus tili).
e incline much more strongly to the suggestion in our
o en pages (among twenty others), that it should be made
to form a fitting entrance to St. Jameo's•park. at
Spring•gardens, where such is inuch needed.— Pi'
