chair was filled by Gideon Colquhoun, Esq. The report O;
Mr. Pratt, in reference to the condition of the works au

FIRE AT BETEINAL-GREEN.—Last evening a firl
nearly attended with the most disastrous results, broke ou
at NO. 2, Nev,--street, Bethnal-green, occupied by Mr. Tar
for, a cabinet-maker. Upon the alarm being given, t°B
inmates in the upper room were so frightened that a ID
in jumping out of the window was severely injured, en _
two children had very narrow escapes, being obliged to s'
handed out of the same window. On the arrival of the
engines the fire was quickly extinguished, but not until cOre
,ichrable damage was done. Unfortunately the occupier Wal
uninsured.

FIRE AT CLERRENWELL.—ShortIy after 12 o'clock
last night, a fire, that created considerable alarm, brolt,e
out upon the premises in the occupation of Mrs. Elisabeth
Duperey, cloth cap maker, situate at No. 1, Garnault-plore'
Clerkenwell. The flames originated from some nnknoira
cause, in the first-floor front, and were discovered by the
inmates at the moment they were retiring to bed. By timely,
Assistance the flames were soon extinguished, but not unto
the whole of the stock in trade was destroyed, and the pre:
mises severely damaged. Unfortunately the occupier was 0'
insured for a single penny.
SERIOUS FlRE.—Last night, between eight and Dille
o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out in the mansion be-
longing to Mrs. Mirah Loftus, situate at 82, Wimpole-street,
Cavendish-square. The flames originated in the second floor
back, and were first discovered by one of the women domes"
tics, who heard a loud crackling noise proceeding from the
upper part of the premises. Upon getting to the second
floor landing, the flames could be perceived issuing from the
apertures of the door. An instant attempt was made to

information of the disaster was instantly sent to the engine-
stations. In the course of -a few minutes the parish engine,
with numerous others of the London brigade, and the one
belonging to the West of England Company, reached the
scene. An abundant supply of water was instantly procured
from the fire mains in the district, and by leading the hose
up the staircase the water was brought to bear upon the right
quarter; but the fire had previously broken through the back
windows, and the flames were rushing out with such impe-
tuosity as to threaten with destruction the whole of the
risk.

been done; for, besides the destruction of the contents of
that portion of the mansion in which the fire began, the floor
above and that below were severely damaged by fire and
water. The property was insured in the Guardian-ofiire'
