THE LATE FIRE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR.—In your Morning Sun of this day appears an in-
quest on the body of the unfortunate fireman named
Loader, at Guy's Hospital, last night, and the verdict re-
tutned as accidental death. That was the unanimous
opinion of the Jury ; but sulosequently to the reporters
leaving the hospital, it was deemed advisable not to record
that verdict, with a view, if possible, to ascertain the cause
of the fire, and other injuries the deceased is supposed to
have died of. The inquest was adjourned till Monday next.
I remain, Sir, with great respect,
A CONSTANT READER.

It EPEAL MEETING.—We have often stated
that while unflinchingly sustaining Repeal, we, Repealers,
will oat be instrumental in dividing Reformers on topics
upon which all concur. We, therefore, publish, with great
pleasure, letters proving the progress which the great re.
frm meeting, for the 16th, is making. The names of
Listowel, Gosford, Hawarden, Sac., joined as they are with
an O'Connell and a 111. Hale, mark in a manner not to be
mistaken that uncompromising Repeal and Constitutional
Reform can stand on the same platform together.—Pilot.
Lord aml Lady Carrington have arrived at Wy-
combe Abbey, but will return to their town residence,
Whitehall-place, in about three weeks, for the season.
