FIRE IN BLOOMSBURY.—FATAL ACCT_
DENT.—At 12 o'clock on Saturday night a fire broke out
in the upper part of the house of Mr. Dibon, tobacconist,
No. 50, Must um-street, Bloomsbury. Shortly ger 12
o'clock the whole contents of the upper floors were cics-
troycd. The fire originated in the attics, occupied by a
person
named Martin, a bookbinder, whose property is all
consumed. A fatal accident happened to the fire-e cape_
man, under the the following circumstances :—lt appeared
that after the fire was extinguished the unfortunate man
ascended to the upper part of the house, and afterwards
dropped himself into the canvas, but whether from its
thin texture or want of proper fastening to the wooden
frame, or from some other circumstance, the unfortunate
man was precipi,ated to the pavement, and the back part
of his head completely smashed. Ho was conveyed to
the North London Hospital, but death terminated his suf-
ferings aboug two o'clock yesterday morning.
The line of railway between London and Dar-
lington being now complete through its whole length, the
Government intend to render it available at an early period
for the transmission of the mails. This new arrangement
will cause great alteration as regards Berwick,

~,cl,..rn to the supply of Wuvai by 1. nd Writ
samples last reek, part of which remained unsold, we bow
a fair fresh arrival, making the largest show which 0
have had this season. A reduction took place of 11. to
2s. per quarter. Foreign was held on the of°
terms, but the trade was very flat. A large aecutoula'
tion of barley caused a reduction of Is. to 2s. pere natter
on that article, and beans were Is. cheaper. Peas until•
tercd in value, owing to the frost having set in again Ye/
sharp. Oats rather lower.
