A serious fire broke out last night on a portion of
the premises in which The Sun has for a series of
years been printed and published. The alarm was
given a little before 9 o'clock, and the police, under
Mr. Superintendent Durkin, of the F division, and
Mr. Superintendent Walker, of the A division, were
speedily in attendance, and displayed the utmost
zeal and efficiency in averting the dangerous conse-
quences that might otherwise have ensued. The Fire
Brigade also displayed the energetic activity for
which they have attained so high and well merited
a reputation. To all we tender our sincere and
earnest thanks for the exertions that prevented the
calamity from being even more serious than it was,
and averted the loss of life amongst either the in-
mates of the house or the spectators of the confla-

;ration.

The fire broke out in the back house, and it is
appr,;hended was not altogether accidental.

shall not, however, at present, enter into any par

culars.

Our friends and the public will be glad to hear
that we arc fully assured. There will be but little
pecuniary loss to ourselves ; but there must of
course be some to several of our employes, who could
not be assured against their losses.
The Morning Post has predicted that, phoenix
like, we shall arise from our ashes. We shall do so
—thanks to our kind contemporary. Before even
the flames that were destroying the property had
been extinguished, we had received offers—for
which we shall ever feel grateful—placing all the
resources of that establishment at our disposal for
the few days requisite for the ntore easy continuance
of the regular organisation of our own establishment.
It was a truly noble act, and one which shall never
depart from our memory. In consequence thereof
we shall be enabled to publish our impression of this
evening at the usual hour, and we trust without any
fferOgation from the usual quality. For that we are
indebted to Messrs. enompros and BORTHWICK, and
we believe that we may safely promise that
no deterioration shall be perceptible in the columns
of The Sun. The effort now made to prevent the
loss of a single number will show that we fully re-
cognise our responsibilities as a public journalist.
We regret to say that Mr. YOUNG, the proprietor,
sustained a serious injury during the time that the
fire was raging. It is, however, hoped that in a few
days he may be completely restored to health.
To every person who gave such valuable assist-
ancein subduing the flames, and enabling us t 9 bear
the injury with the least possible inconvenience, we
tender our heartfelt thanks. To the Police and Fire
Brigade—but beyond and before all, to the Morning
Post, through whose kindness our friends will sus-
tain no injury ; for there will not be a single num-
ber of The Sun missing from their files.

Conspicuous among the numerous reforms for
which we do confidently and hopefully look to her
Majesty's Government, is one for which, in these
our columns, we have often claimed—a modification,
we mean, in the annual distribution of the Civil List

pensions !
Our impression of Thursday last gave to the
public the latest of these yearly distributions, for
which the DERRY Cabinet cannot be held in any way
responsible. There are fifteen distinct channels,
among which the 1,2001. arc apportioned—one pen-
sion dating from the 14th and another from the 23d
of last November, the remaining thirteen in the
catalogue being all of them apportioned to the reci-
pients on Monday the 15th of February. Remem-
bering that it was not until the grey of the morning
of the memorable Saturday in that same week—the
fatal 20th of February—that Lord PALMERSTON'S
Administration was abruptly and unexpectedly
placed in a minority so unmistakeable as to necessi-
tate their instant resignation collectively, it stands to
reason that for this latest distribution of the Civil
List Pensions the ex-Ministers are wholly and solely
accountable.
The pensions granted under this head, it should
be borne in mind, are authorised to be given to the
yearly total amount of justl, 2001., between the
20th of June of one year, and the 20th of June fol-
lowing—this pursuant to the enactment Ist Vict.
c. 2. -According to the terms of that enactment,
these pensions, to the tune of 1,2001. annually, are
placed at the disposal of the Prime Minister for the
encouragement of those who have in any way dis-
tinguished themselves in art, science, or literature.
To the fund thus set apart by the State from year
to year—the widows and orphans of eminent but
.rtunate authors, artists, and scientific professors
are taught to look for aid in their direst need. Nay,
