DESTRUCTIVE DAY.)

This (Friday) morning, at the early hour of 2
o'clock, the inmates of the Licensed Victuallers'
Asylum, and the inhabitants generally of the
Asylum-road, Peckham, were aroused from their
slumbers by the spring of policemen's rattles
and cries of " Fire." It was quickly ascer-
tained by the neighbours that a destructive
fire was raging in the premises of Mr. D. R. Thomas,
a grocer and cheesemonger, carrying on business at
No. 146 in the before-mentioned road. The inmates,
who were fast asleep at the time of the discovery,
had the greatest difficulty in escaping from the
burning building. The powerful land, steam, and
mantra power engines, by Shand, Mason, and Co.,
arrived from numerous stations of the Metropolitan
Brigade. Plenty of water having been obtained.
from the mains of the Southwark Company, the
firemen went to work under the direction of Mr.
Foreman Hamlyn and head-engineer Joseph Per-
rard, but they were unable to get the fire extin-
guished until the rock in trade was destroyed, and
the building partially destroyed,
The back front
of the premises of Mr. Metton,
a chemist, were
also severely injured by the action of the flames.
The losses will fall upon the Royal and London
and Southwark fire offices.

villages. The body was placed in one of the lower rooms of
the hall, which was dal Ironed for the occasion, six wax ta-
pers serving just to show the contents, and barely showing,
till the visitor was accustomed to the gloom, that a detach-
ment of yeomanry cavalry, of which the successor W the
earldom is major, was on guard. On the coffin were
the earl's coronet, admiral's hat, uniform, and sword, and
