FRIGHTFUL SCENE AT A FIRE.

(THIS DAY•)

This (Monday) morning, at a quarter before
three o'clock, a fire of a calamitous character, and
nearly attended with fatal consequences to a dozen
persons, happened in the premises known as the
Anti-Gallican and Star Tavern, the property of Mr.
C. Lowther, situate 117 and 118, Tooley-street,
Southwark. The discovery was made by a police-
constable of the .N division, by seeing smoke
issuing from the lower part of the build-
ings. At the time the whole of the inmates were
in them asleep, and their being 12 rooms in the
tavern, it was unknown in what part the people
were asleep. The officer, however, sprang his
rattle, and knocked violently at the doors. After
some time he succeeded in making the resident
sensible of their impending danger, but not until
the fire had rolled up the staircase, and was attack-
ing every room in the house. The fire at
the same time was rushing up the stair,
and making a noise like a furnace at
full play, thereby cutting off all means of retreat by
the regular way. The inmates therefore made for
the windows, and Miss Susannah Lowther, aged 19
years, in order to escape out of the burning apart-
ment in which she was, jumped out of the window
and was badly injured. An infant, aged 7 months,
named Kate Lowther, was thrown by one of the re-
sidents out of the window so as to avoid being suffo-
cated, but, like its sister, was badly hurt ; but it
is thought not fatally. The fire escape promptly
attended, as well as numerous. engines, including
three or four land steamers by Shand, Mason, and
Co., and the other residents having been assisted
out of ilio burnino building, they furtunabely re-
ceived no injury beyond being nearly stifled with
smoke. Plenty of the Southwark and Vauxhall
water having been drawn by Mr. Hays, the inspec-
tor of the company, the engines were set to work,
but in spite of the strenuous exertions of the firemen
and the London Salvage Corps the flames could
net be extinguished until they had done fearful
havoc in every room, and were just rising through
the roof when the great weight of water thrown by
the steam engines quickly annihilated the conflagra-
tion. The loss is considerable, and will fall upon
the Royal Fire-office. The origin of the fire is
unknown.

BANK ROBBERY.—Dixon, the clerk, and Swire
his companion, the youths who absconded from Keighley
in January, having stolen £1,900 from the Craven Bank at
that town, pleaded guilty at the West Riding sessions at
Wakefield, and were each sentenced to six months' impri-
sonment.

Admiralty, has kindly consented to preside at the annual
meeting of the National Lifeboat Institution, which is to
bo held on Tuesday, the 10th instant, at the London

DISCOVERY OF EXTENSIVE RAILWAY THEFTs.—A
few days ago was announced the apprehension at
Poppieton, near York, of three men, named Ingram,
William and George Bilborough (the former being the
father of the two latter), on the charge of robbin-, the
granary of Mr. Thomas Kirk, In the search which
was made of the house occupied by the elder prisoner
a discovery was made of a vast number of articles
belonging to the North-Eastern Railway Com-
pany, consisting mainly of cloth, brass brushes,
brass handles, nails, screws, &c. The pos-
session of the property by Ingram is traced
through his sons, several of whom have been in the
employ of the company. A traction engine found in
course of construction on Ingram's premise:, is pre-
sumed to have absorbed considerable property of the
same company. Oa Saturday the prisoners were
brought up at York, before a West Riding bench of
magistrates, and remanded. Before the Bench oppo-
sition was o&red by Sit:wintenclent Constable Kane
to the. prisoner 1n4r,r.•1. signing a deed gift of his
property to a relative, on the ground that the property
might, to servo extent, have been stolen, and that if
a conviction were obtained that which had not been
stolen would go to the Crown. The bench ruled that
the prisoners could sign anything they chose until
after conviction.
