FIRE AND SEIZURE OP AN ILLICIT SOAP FACTORY.
—Yesterday morning, shortly after twelve o'clock, the•
neighbourhood of Lamb-street, Spitalfickis, was thrown
into a state of excitement, in consequence of the spring-
ing of policemen's rattles and a genl.ral cry of ".Fire!"

It soon became apparent that the premises belonging to
Messrs. Johnstone and Co., oil and colourmen, in the
above street, were in flames. The parish engine, with
several belonging to the London Brigade, were early in
arriving, when the firemen found that the outbreak had
occurred in the back room on the first floor. After
some trouble the flames were extinguished, when, upon
y, an thatd i immediatelyt was
quiteclear
making an examination to ascertain the cause of the
sdoisaapstmera,ntuh
fettyctor
foundof the premises where the fire commenced over that portion
wasthat thea n illicit
from the flue leading to the
chief. Search was mad coppers had caused the mis-
efor the parties who had thus
been carrying on their illicit calling, but without suc-
cess, as they had managed to effect their escape. The
officers of the Excise
were apprised of the discovery,
and, having repaired to the premises, they took posses-
sion of the plant.
INCENDIARY FlRE.—This morning, about half-
past one, a fire happened in the timber-yard of Messrs.
Johnson and Co., timber-merchants, Gurney-mews,
Exmouth-street, Spafields. Mr. Colf and Mr. Connor-
ton, with the London Establishment and West of
England
engines and men, were quickly on the spot,
when the piled timbers of the yard were found to have
been set on fire in more places than one. By the ex-
ertions of those present on the outbreak the fire was
quickly extinguished, but not until some damage had
b?en occasioned. A private watchman is retained
on the establishment, who has always been a most
active servant, and there is every reason to hope
that the guilty parties will be traced. When the work-
men left last night, everything appeared perfectly safe,
the greatest care having been taken by those on the
premises to see that the lights were properly attended to.
SUSPENSION OF RAILWAYS IN LANCASHIRE.—The
South Junction Railway works are suspended in Man-
chester ; as is also, or very nearly so, the Manchester
and Altrincham line. Besides these two important un-
dertakings, the Lancashire and Yorkshire (late Man-
chester and Leeds) have discharged a great number of
men during the last fortnight in Mlanchester, and no
doubt on other parts of the line, We fear awful times
are close at hand.
