complexioned man, has short black hair and slight
moustache, and has rather a forbidding countenance.
That the fugitive was implicated in the murder of
Fenner the detectives have little doubt. It is sup-
posed that he is concealed somewhere in this city,
and that when his ready money gives out his friends
will deliver him up. The large reward (2,000 dots.)
offered for the apprehension of the murderer will
have a salutary effect, and result, it is hoped, in the
speedy capture of the assassin. Likenesses Of
Ratzki have been forwarded to all the principal
cities in the North, and nothing will be left undone
to bring the guilty parties to justice, so far as the
efforts of our detective police are concerned.
The officers are yet in the dark as to where the
murder was committed, but they feel quite confi-
dent that it was not effected in this city. Thei
think that the deed was probably committed on
Staten Island, and that the body was cast into the
bay from some point on the south side of the island.
Time will develope matters, and before the lapse of
many weeks the whole affair may be made as clear
as noonday.

EXTEN SI VE DESTRUCTION OF P_RO
PERTY BY FIRE.

Yesterday morning a fire, involving a serious
loss of property, and almost fatal consequences
to several persons, happened in the wine and
spirit vaults, known as the Queen's Head, be-
longing to Mr. Alfred G. Dodson, situate at 13,Little
Poulteney-street, Golden-square. The discovery was
made by police constable No. 163, of the C division.
Smoke, which he saw pouring out of the bar-wie•
dows, convinced him that the premises were on fire;
and without delay he gave an alarm, but some time
elapsed before he made the inmates sensible of their
impending danger. At length, however, the pot-
man made his appearance at the attic window ; but
no ladder or any other appliance being then at
hand to render assistance, the man managed to crawl
out of the window, and get upon the roof of the
next house. He hardly got out of dangerwhen Mr. and
Mrs. Dodson, after making several futile attempts to
get to the top of the house, made their appearance
at the second floor window and cried loudly for
assistance. The liquors having by that time be-
come ignited, the casks exploded in rapid succes-
sion, and the flames were rising up the staircase,
and, at the same time, filling each room with
heated smoke. Just at this ethical moment the
Golden-square escape belonging to the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Loss of Life by Fire came up,
when another difficulty presented itself, for, owing
to the signpost projecting so far, the conductor was
unable to affix his machine in front of the buildings
and he was compelled to place the escape at the
side. Mr. Dodson then lowered his wife on to the
escape, and afterwards he was assisted by the con-
ductor and the police officer on to the machine, and
both escaped uninjured; but had it not been for the
timely arrival of the escape the inmates must have
perished. Mr. Staples, the chief officer of the C dis-
trict of Fire Brigade, quickly attended, with the
engines from King-street, Chandos-street, Crown-
street, and Wells-street stations. Plenty of water
having been obtained from the mains of the Grand
Junction and New River Companies, the firemen
took advantage of the same, and having set their
engines to work, copious streams were scattered
into the blazing pile of premises; but they were
unable to get the mastery over the conflagration
until the bar, the stores, and ground floor were
burned completely out, and the whole of the upper
floors nearly burned out, and about half of the roof
destroyed. The adjoining house, No. 12, let out in
tenements, has also received serious injury by fire
and water. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr.
Dodson was insured, but the inmates of No. 12 were
unfortunately uninsured.
A fire also broke out yesterday morning in the
premises belonging to Mr. J. Fleming, carpenter,
carrying on business in King Harry-fields, Mile-
end. The fire was discovered between 1 and
o'clock in the workshops. The engines of the parish
and London brigade were quickly in attendance ;
and a good supply of the East London Company's
water having been obtained, the fire was soon el-'
tin guished, but not until the workshops were nearly
destroyed. Uninsured.
Other fires took place in Sun-street, Bishopsgate,
and Barbican, but the damage at each was not con-
siderable.
