FIRE IN LAMBETH.—On Saturday morning,
about four, the inhabitants of Oakley-street, Lambeth, were
aroused from their slumbers by the springing of policemen's
rattles and loud cries of " Fire!" In the course of a few
minutes it was found that the premises of Mr. lloldforth,
furniture-dealer, were on tire. The house was a double
one, No. 36, and at the time of the disaster no fewer
than twenty-three persons were sleeping therein. Police-
sergeant I hompson, of the L division, and Constable
Barrett, No. 80 of the same division, upon reaching the
building found it impracticable for eight children to effect
their escape, owing to the heated smoke rushing up the
staircase. A man came at the same time to one of the front
windows, called out loudly for help, and then jumped to the
ground, by which his leg was badly injured. Thompson at
the same time entered by a side door, rushed up the stair-
case, and placed a child under each arm—but the smoke '
was so dense that he could not tread the stairs, and in the
most
to the courageous manner he jumped from the first landing
btom, and giving the children to Barrett, returned
again and rescued in the same rainner two more. After
that, with the assistance of constable Barrett, the other four
were taken out in safety. Had it not been for the prompt
supply of water and the exertions of the police, the house
would have been totally consumed and several lives sacri-
ficed. The sufferer was insured in the Union Fire-office.
