ME7ROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

RESIGNATION OF MR. DOULTON, 14. p.

Last night Mr. John Pollard, clerk to the Metro-
politan Board of Works, received a communica-
tion from Mr. Doulton, M.P., resigning his seat at
this Board as one of the members for Lambeth.
There can be no doubt whatever that the cause of
the resignation of the member for Lambeth has been
brought about by the late discussions on the Fur-
ness contract for the Thames Embankment, and
especially as regarded the large number of the mem-
bers of the Metropolitan Board of Works who
were ready to join in a vote of censure on
Mr. Doulton for his conduct in that matter.
Of course the decision to which the honourable
member for Lambeth has arrived will mate-
rially simplify the future proceedings of the
board in reference to this subject, as is would
hardly be becoming in the board to revive discus-
sions involving very serious charges in the absence
of the person who is most materially affected, and
whose conduct has been so freely canvassed, not
only amongst his colleagues, but by the public at
large.

ALARMING FIRE LV FARRINGDON

Sl REET.—This Day,

SIX LIVES SAVED BY THE FIRE ESCAPE.

This (Thursday) morning, between one and two
o'clock, the premises of Mr. Coad, late Hubbard,
tobacconist, 21, Farringdon-street, City, were dis-
covered by the policeman on duty to be on fire. At
teat time the inmates were in their beds asleep.
They were at once aroused and made sensible of
their danger, but the smoke arising from burning
tobacco was of such a suffocating character that the
parties were prevented from getting down stairs,
and they therefore made for the second floor,
and cried loudly for help. Conductor Watson
immediately attended with the fire escape,
and succeeded in bringing down his escape
five persons, namely, three men, two women,
and an infant. Several engines, both manual and
steam, quickly attended, and plenty of the New
River Company's water having been procured the
firemen went to work, and happily succeeded in
confining the flames to the basement and ground-
floor warehouse, but considerable damage was done
to the stock in trade and also to the building and the
furniture. The origin of the fire is unknown.
Conductor ruzey the previous day saved five lives
at the fire which occurred at a linendraper's in Bath-
street, City-road.
