FIRE IN THE KINGSLAND•ROAL.—ThI3 morning,
about two o'clock, a fire broke out at the rear of the premises
of Mr. George Cane, saddle and harness maker, No. 44,
Kingsland-road. The origin of the tire is not known, but
Mr. Cane states that he was awakened at about the above
time by the noise of what he thought to be a heavy fall of
hail, but he soon discovered that the house was on fire. The
alarm was at once given, and in a very short time a strong
body of the police were in attendance, and rendered efficient
service. The back premises, which contained oil linen, or
waterproof cloth, were destroyed. The loss falls upon the
Sun Fire-office.
General Iriarte, with some friends, went over
Windsor Castle two or three days ago, and expressed them-
selves mirth pleased with the splendour of that ancient royal I
residence.
