TEMPLE•BAR i NFlRE—Yesterday morning, about
one o'
clock, considerable alarm was occasioned 11l the
itnruntdiate neighbourhood of the Strand anti }lest-
street by the springing of policemen's rattles, and
general cry that Temple-bar was on fire. In the space
of a few minutes two escapes of the loyal Society for
the Protection of Life from Fire, with five brigade
engines, were in attendance. The firemen then found
that the outbreak had occurred in the hairdresser's shop
belonging to Mr. Tanner, adjoining the foot entrance on
the northern side of the bar, and from the strong hold
the flames had obtained, there is little doubt that a fear-
ful conflagration would have taken place had the fire not
been so opportunely Aiscovered. Mr. Tanner's loss is
*
inconsiderable,
