THE FIRE IN ALBANY-STREET.

It fortunately turns out that the loss of human life, occa-
sionc•d by the late fearful explosion, is not so great as was
apprehended. It has been ascertained that only three per-
sons— the brother and sister-in-law of the proprietor, Mr.
Luton (not Hatfield, as erroneously stated), and a servant
girl—were in the house at the time when the accident was
occasioned by a candle being brought into contact with a
volume of gas, which must have been for some days escaping
and accumulating in the shop. Mr. Loton and his sister are
seriously injured.
During yestuday afternoon. Mr. Toplis, the surveyor to
the Sun Fire-office, and Mr. Hodgson, the assessor of losses,
as well as several eminent surveyors connected with other
fire offices, visited the ruins for the purpose of ascertaining
the amount of mischief done. The whole of these gentlemen
are of opinion that no explosion of similar violence has ever
taken place in the metropolis, and it was a matter of asto-
nishment how so large a quantity of gas as must have accu-
mulated in the shop could have escaped.
From their inspection we learn that the total number of
houses damaged extends to one hundred and three, some of
which are totally destroyed, and others are rendered unsafe
for habitation.
