DREADFUL FIRES AND PRO-
BABLE LOSS OF LIFE.
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a fire broke
out upon the premises in the occupation of Mr.
James Tillman, a tailor, carrying on business at No.
3, Osborne-street, Whitechapel. When the discovery
was made the whole of the residents were fast asleep
in their beds, and the shop, staircase, and passage
being in a general blaze, none of the parties were
able to descend the stairs. The moment their bed-
room doors were opened the flames rushed in and set
fire to the bedding. To escape from being burnt to
death the whole of the inmates were obliged to jump
from one of the back windows into a court at the
rear, without being able to save a single article of
wearing apparel. Some of the neighbours, on seeing
the sufferers standing in the cold in a comparative
state of nudity, kindly took them into their own
houses. Such was the progress of the fire that
before a single engine had time to reach the spot not
only was Mr. Tillman's property completely enve-
loped in flames, but five': other buildings were also
burning most furiously. With as little delay as pos-
sible the parochial engine, with four of the London
Brigade, and those of the West of England and
County companies, arrived. An abundant supply of
water having been obtained, the engines were called
into operation ; but a considerable time elapsed
before any impression could be made upon the de-
structive element, meanwhile the whole of Mr. Till-
man's stock in trade, furniture, and other effects,
ve ere consumed. The damage done is very consider-
able, and is thus detailed by Mr. Superintendent
Braidwood in his official report.
" Osborne-street, Whitechapel, No. 3—Mr. J. Till-
man, tailor—House burned out, with the exception of
the roof. Contents consumed. Insured in the Union

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN SHEFFIELD.
This morning, about half-past one, a fire was dis-
covered raging with tremendous fury in the extensive
brewery of Messrs. Rawson and Co., of Pond-lane.
The watchman immediately gave the alarm to Mr.
Birks, one of the proprietors, and a number of
men, and shortly afterwards messengers were
dispatched for the fire-engines. The small en-
gine of the North of England, No. 3, was first
on the spot, followed quickly by those from
the Sheffield Fire-office. Shortly after three
o'clock, three engines from each office were ready
for action, but unfortunately the supply of water was
inadequate to the necessity. When the engines began
to play the whole of the brewery, the malt chamber,
and malt kiln, were blazing away with tremendous
fury, and continued to do so until after four o'clock,
when the roofs fell in with a fearful crash. This was
followed by another temporary blaze, but the fire was
too far subdued again to break forth with any chance
of making further progress. At the commencement
of the fire the wind blew freshly from the north, and
for some time the flames threatened to communicate
with Mr. Birks' house, but before they reached it the
wind changed, and thus providentially the house and
others were saved from destruction. Inspector
Linley, with Sergeants Blackburn, Matthews, and
Revell, and a body of the police, were actively em-
ployed in keeping order, and some of them engaged
in removing furniture and valuables from the dwell-
ing-houses which appeared in danger. On a cursory
glance at the premises they appear to be completely
gutted, and a quantity of malt was so charred and
caked as to smell something like gingerbread. The
damage done must be considerable, although, as the
fire was burning when our account was taken, the
extent of the injury cannot yet be estimated. The
origin of the conflagration is at present a mystery,
but it is supposed to have been accidental. We
understand that the property was insured in the Shef-
field and Sun Fire-offices.—Second Edition of the
Sheffield Iris of Thursday.

PRINTERS v. TYPEFOUNDERS. -- Two elevens of
these important branches, connecting links of the same
chain which diffuse knowledge throughout the habitable
globe, having agreed a short time since to try their wil-
lows for a good spread, the fix was arranged for the tee.
total ground at Pitsruoor, near Sheffield, a pretty good
indication that sobriety was intended as the order of the
day. Shortly after ten o'clock, the rain having ceased,
the wickets were pitched, and Mr. Hague appointed as
umpire for the typefounders, whilst Mr. Watson, of
Sampson's Ground, held a similar office for the printers.
It must be noted that the latter were selected from the
various offices in the town, but the former eleven were
men solely in the employ of Messrs. Stephenson and Co.,
of Sheffield. The typelounders went in first. The play
throughout was excellent, taking the field and batting,
and, although the,typefounders were the victors, as will be
seen by the score beneath, the greatest unanimity pre.
vailed. Another match is intended, but the when and
the whereabouts we are not in possession of. The
following is the score :—Typefounders—first innings
95; second ditto, 52. Printers—first innings, 51; second
ditto, 41.—Sheffield Iris.

DEPRESSION IN THE COAL TRADE.--We have
reason to believe that a deputation from Newcastle-,
rers e
upon-Tyne arrived in town yesterday, for the purpose of
representing to her Majesty's)ministers distressed
condition of the coal proprietors. The depression in
the coal trade is stated to be so great at the present

ployment. It is understood that the suggestion to be
made to the Government will be for the issue of
5,000,0001. of bank:notes.. for six months, on the de-
posit of valid securities. It this measure be not adopted,
there is, unfortunately, too good ground. to fear that not
only the collieries of Northumberland but the mills of
Lancashire will be stopped, and the great trade of the
country indefinitely suspended.—Post.
TILE QUEEN'S AVIARY.—The order given by her
Majesty, that during her absence in Scotland the royal
aviary or poultry yard at Frogmore should be open to
the admission of visitors, has been taken advantage of
by so many persons, that it was found necessary to with-
draw the privilege, and prohibit the issue of more
tickets some days ago. Such numbers presented them-
selves that the place was literally besieged by mobs of
well-dressed persons, who conducted themselves with eo
little decorum, that the keepers of the aviary beam"
alarmed for the safety of the birds.
