LONDON FEVER HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday afternolli
the annual meeting of the governors of this hospital was held
at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street ; W. Everett'
Esq., ie the chair. The report stated that the number ee
patients treated during the year was 636, of whom 531 were'
cured, 5 sent to other hospitals, 76 died, and 24 remained
under treatment. The total number admitted since the
establishment of the hospital in 180 i. was 18,517. The di
s'
where fever now most prevailed were Lambeth, the
courts and alleys about Drury-lane, St. Margaret's, W,eBl._
minster, St. George's, Bloomsbury, and St. Giles's. The
year's expenditure amounted to 1,5671., the receipts I,',
2,1071., including, however, a portion of the stock which bat'
been sold out to meet the expenses.
ASTURIAN MINING COMPANY.--A special meeting
of the shareholduts of this as,ociation was convened on Fri-
'lay, at the ,offices of the company,lin Austin-friars, for the
purpose of hearing the statement of one of the directors, oe
P. Pratt, Esq., ELLS., on his return from the Asturias. The'
chair was tilled by Gideon Colquhoun, Esq. The report 021
Mr. Pratt, in reference to the condition of the works and
mines in Spain, was highly satisfactory.
FIRE AT BETHNAL-GREEN.—Last evening a fire,
nearly attended with the most disastrous results, broke out
at No. 2, New-street, Bethnal-green, occupied by
.Mr. Tar
tor, a cabinet-maker. Upon the alarm being given, t"
inmates in the upper room were so frightened that a
in jumping out of the window was severely injured, an
two children had very narrow escapes, being obliged to b°
handed out of the Fame window. On the arrival of the
engines the fire was quickly extinguished, but not until con-
siderable damage was done. Unfortunately the occupier was
uninsured.
FIRE AT CLERKENWELL.—ShortIy after 12 o'clock
last night, a fire, that created considerable alarm, broke
out upon the premises in the occupation of Mrs. Elizabeth
Duperey, cloth cap maker, situate at No. 1, Garnault-plsce.
Clerkenwell. The flames originated from some unknown
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 until
the whole of the stock in trade was destroyed, and the pre-
mises severely damaged. Unfortunately the occupier WAS not
insured for a single penny.
SERIOUS FlRE.—Last night, between eight and nine
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
hack, and were first discovered by one of the women domes'
tics, who heard a loud crackling noise prooseding 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
subdue the firs by buckets of water, but the flames had ob-
tained too firm a hold to be extinguished by- that means, and
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 bad 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
building. After considerable trouble, and at no little personal
risk, the firemen succeeded in entire) 7 extinguishing the
flames, but not until damage to a considerable amount bad
beer, 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-office-
A spark from a lighted candle, it is supposed, was the cause
of the disaster.
