ALARMING FIRE AT BERMONDSEY.—Last night,
shortly after eleven o'clock, a tire broke out in the pre-
mises, belonging to Mr. Olney, fellmonger, in Upper
Russell-street, Bermondsey. The flames were first dis-
covered by a policeman. An instant alarm was raised,
and information sent to the engine stations. In the
course of a few minutes the parish engine, with several
others, arrived. There being plenty of water cm the
premises, a couple of the engines were taken within the
gates of the works, and by leading the hose up the stair-
case the firemen were enabled to discharge copious
streams of water upon the flames, by which means the
further progress of the fire was stayed, but it was past
twelve o'clock before the firemen had succeeded in en-
tirely extinguishing the flames ; by that_ period the dry-
ing stove three floors hi h,
the
wool loft
adjohi.eg g was nearly burnt out, and
severely damaged. The cause of
the fire could r.ot be ascertained.
