FIRE DISCOVERED THROUGH A DOG'S SAGACITY.
—Yesterday morning, about four o'clock, a fire, which threat-
ened the most serious results, was discovered and made
known by a dog. It originated in the hayloft belonging to
Mr. Hobson, of the Blackfriars-road, whose stables are si-
tuated in Cross-street. At the time mentioned a dog, which
was kept in the yard, set up a most dreadful yelping and
scratching against the stable-door, which induced a neigh-
bour, being at the back of the yard, to look out of the win -
dow, when he saw the hay in flames. Joyce, of the L di-
vision, with other officers, were on the spot, and, by speedy
information the Waterloo-road, West of England, and South-
wark-bridge- road engines were in attendance; but, through
the timely assistance at first afforded by the neighbours, little
injury was done.
FATAL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT ON LONDON-BRIDGE.
—Mr. Payne held an inquest last evening at St. Thomas's
Hospital, on the body of James Henry Read, aged ten years,
who was run over on London-bridge. William Kirby, of
liedcross-court, Borough, said that while passing over
London. bridge, on Monday evening last, he saw the de-
ceased endeavouring to cross the road, by running between
a cart and a,waggon. As he got at the back of the cart he
stumbled and fell in the road exactly befpre an omnibus
coming in the direction of the Borough. Both the near
wheels went over his loins, but he nevertheless was able to
rise and walk a short distance. Witness knowing that the
boy must have been severely injured, took him quickly to
the hospital. The driver of the omnibus pulled up as soon
after the accident as possible, and witness did not think that
he could be in any way blamed for what had happened.
Deceased was running. The above evidence was corrobo-
rated by Mr. William Webb, of No. 87, Aldgate, who was
seated on the top of the omnibus. Mr. Joseph Stephen
Read, rope and mat maker, of No. 14, St. Mary-at-Hill,
said that the deceased was his son. Deceased wanted to leave
home on Monday, and witness refused to let him go, but un-
fortunately he contrived to escape from the house, and wason
his way with an acquaintance to see the rowing match when
the accident happened. He died from the injuries before-he
arrived at the hospital. The driver of the omnibus was taken
before the magistrate at Guildhall and remanded. Verdict,
Accidental death."
NOVEL SALE OF PINE APPLES.—The notice of
the sale of a large quantity, of foreign grown pine apples has
already appeared in this journal, but it was not anticipated
that such luscious luxuries, which have hitherto only graced
the tables of the wealthy, would have been thus placed within
the reach of poorer classes by the novel mode of having
considerable numbers exposed in barrows, and hawked
through the streets or sale in the same way as it is customary
to see cherries and cocoa nuts, but with the addition that the
public ears were saluted with the extraordinary cry of "Pine
apples, a penny a slice."

..DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT BATTERSEA.—Yesterday
evening, between five and six o'clock, the following frightful
accident, attended with fatal consequences, occurred at the
Creek-bridge, Lowy* Wandsworth-read, attersea :—About
the time above mentioned, a cart heavily laden with grains,
and drawn by two horses, was crossing the bridge, in the
direction of Battersea town, having Just come from Mr.
Watney'a-distillery, when a wash butt, on which was seated
an old man and his son, named Bartlett, drove up in a con-
trary direction. The old man, without checking his horse,
endeavoured to clear the cart, by ;ping close to the left-hand
side of the bridge, but in doing so the butt struck the para-
pet, and both Bartlett and his son were pitched off. The sun
pitched upon his head, and lay to all appearance dead; the
old man fell under the wheel of the cart, which passed over
his back and loins. The accident was so instantaneous that
it was impossible for the driver of the cart to stop his horses
in time, and no blame can be attributable to him. The suf-
ferers were taken to the Nag's head Inn, where the boy died
in a few minutes after his arrival. Dr. Shaw was sent for to
attend the father, but the nature of hia _injuries are such
that recovery is looked upon as hopeless. Many accidents,
and fatal ones, have occurred on this bridge, which is a dis-
grace to the parish of Battersea. Jt is not only so narrow as
to be barely passable for two carts at a time, but its con-
struction and approaches are of he most clumsy and ill-con-
ditioned character.
FIRE AT TIVICKENIIAM.—I/II Wednesday night a
hay-stack belonging to Mr. C. Eley, of Twickenham road,
was discovered to be en fire, but -by dint of the exertions of
a party of Lancers, from Hounslow, and the police, the fire
was prevented from spreading to other stacks in the yard. The
loss amounts to about 2001. The accident is believed to have
originated in the natural heating of the stack,
