THE GREAT FIRE LV THE BOROUGIL—LATEST
PARTICULARS.—This Day.

During the whole of last night and this morning the fire-
men of the Metropolitan Board of Works and the London
Salvage corps have been actively employed in endeavour-
ing to extinguish the groat body of fire that still exists
under the hops in the two immense warehouses. Every
hour that the fire remains must tell against the
value of the expensive article. Already some hundred
pockets have been consumed, and under ;many other
stacks the fire is like a furnace, the firemen being unable
to make the water pass through the outer skin of the
parcels, and therefore some thousands pounds worth of
goods have already been so far burned or damaged by
water that the leaf will only be fit to be used for manure.
The many packets that the Salvage Corps saved have, by
order of Mr. Swinton, the superintendent, been properly
covered against rain, and will realise a considerable
sum when the salvage is sold. The brigade authori-
ti s and the surveyors to the different insurance
offices interested iu the loss were this morning
actively engaged in ascertaining the amount that each
company will be responsible for, bat as yet it is almost
impossible for them to arrive at anything like a correct
estimate. The same gentlemen were also engaged in
trying to find out the origin of the fire, as some of the
neighbours had reported that the flames commenced in
the hop houses from spontaneous ignition. They, however,
gleaned sufficient evidence to satisfy them that instead of
the fire commencing in the warehouse, it began in the
stables of Mr. Russell, or else in the carpenters' work-
shops over belonging to Mr. Drewett. From tho inquiries
Mr. White, the assessor to the County Fire Office, made,
he has not the least doubt upon that point ; and Police-
constable 141 M, who discovered the fire, states that the
first glare of light he saw came from the stables and work-
shop at. the same moment, and in less time than he could
knock any of the neighbours up, there were sixty feet of
both floors in a blaze, and the horses were kicking, plung-
ing, and moaning fearfully. The noise they made con-
vinced him that the fire wao in some part of the building,
more especially as no other building had then taken fire.

The two first officials who arrived to render assistance,
it is necessary to state (because it has gone abroad that
the firemen had to wait an hour before they could get
water), were Mr. Pavor, the turncock of the district, and
Mr. Hays, the inspector. Before an engine came up a
plug was drawn facing the Horse and Groom, and sufficient
water was obtained to supply one of the land steamers by
Shand, Mason, and Co., and also to allow two dummies
to be used from the same plug. That the water
was ready before an engine came up is manifest,
for the turncock and the inspector ran down King-street
and beckoned to the coachman to stop the speed of the
engine for fear he should proceed beyond the fire-main.
Other engines followed in rapid succession, and they were
taken to the most commanding positions, and plugs
were drawn all round the different streets and courts, but
the immense hop-warehouses and so many other premises
being in flames, had the floating engines, with the supply of
the Thames been used, they would hardly have been able
to do more good than the land steam and manual power
engines. One principal, cause of the fire extending with
such rapidity in the warehouses was that the iron
doors between each floor being so slight they ex-
panded and allowed the fire to pass through. In the
northern hop warehouse matters appear to have been bet-
ter managed, for there the doors aro what are termed
patent reliance, being composed of double sheet-iron, and
stuffed with a sort of preparation, and notwithstanding the
building was exposed to intense heat the damage was con-
fined to the front, although one of the doors was broken
open by the mob. Messrs. Story, Smith, and Co., the
owners, will not be put to any material inconvenience by
the disastrous event that has so seriously affected their
neighbours. At 10 o'clock this forenoon several of Beck
and Co.'s patent hydrants were discharging water upon
the still smouldering ruins, and it required the assistance
of Mr. Superintendent Dunlop and Inspectors Turpin and
Manson to keep the crowd of idlers out of danger.

DEATH FROM SUNSTROKE.—A shepherd named
William Bragg, 50 years of age, was engaged on Pitt
farm, near Barnstaple, on Friday, when he was observed
to fall suddenly on his face. He was picked up dead. A
surgeon said there was no doubt death was caused by sun-
stroke.

A VERDICT BY LorrEnr.—A memorial, signed
by the mayor and about 100 of the most respectable in-
habitants of Cardiff, has been forwarded to Mr. Gathorne
Hardy, the Home Secretary, praying that the verdict of
the jury may be set aside in the case of John Richards,
who was found guilty of the manslaughter of John Butler,
on the Ist of May last, in Caroline-street, Cardiff, and was
sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. The jury, it is
admitted, cast lots to decide whether a verdict of guilty
or not guilty should be roturnei. After the verdict had
been returned six of the lottery papers were found on
which the words "Not Guilty" had been written, thus
showing that at least one-half of the jury were against the
conviction.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT CIIAMOUNIX.—A correspon-
dent of the Times, in a letter dated Chamounix, August 6,
says :—" A few minutes after my arrival here there was
carried past the window of this hotel the dead body of a
young lady, Miss Stevens, who was killed at the Mer do
Glace. She was hero on a visit with her mother, brother,
and sister. From what I can gather, this unfortunate
young lady was with her friends, and happening to touch
something with her alpenstock, a very largo stone be-
came detached, and falling upon her head killed her in-
stantly. The event has naturally thrown a gseat gloom
over the place."

Madame Paul Demidoff, née Princesse Miet-
schersky, has died during her confinement at
Ileitzing, near Vienna, at the early age of twenty-
one. Madame Demidoff was remarkable for her
b,!auty.
