A NIGHT OF FIRES.

A fire took place last night in the premises be-
longing to Mr. J. Culpeck, a fellmonger, carrying
on business at No. 31, Long-lane, Bermondsey. It
was caused by the overheating of a stove in one of
the drying Louses, a building three floors high. The
flames could' not be conquered until the drying house
and the contents were destroyed. A tire, which for
a short time created some alarm, broke out in a shed
used as oil and lamp stores, belonging to Messrs.
Kelk, Waring, and Co., the contractors, temporarily
placed in Upper Thames-street during the forma'ion
of the new street to the Mansion House. It was
caused by one of the boys in drawing off some
paraffin oil.
