THE FIRE in GUILDFORD-STREET
LATEST PARTICULARS.—(THIS DAY.)
The greatest excitement continues to prevail in the
neighbourhood of the lamentable occurrence, and
hundreds of persons, apparently strangers to the locality,
visited the place in the course of the morning, and con
tinned viewing the ruins for some time, regardless of
the intense frost which has prevailed for the last few
days. During the whole of yesterday a body of work-
men were actively engaged in clearing away the rub-
bish. At an early hour this morning they resumed their
labours, and a great portion of the rubbish—for in truth
the valuable contents of the house are nothing else—
were removed into the street; hut up e) one o'clock,
though their exertions were not rdnxed in the least,
the bodies of the unfortunate men who were buried in
the ruins have not been discovered, nor is it likely that
they will be found until late in the afternoon or evening
of to- day. The delay in the discovery of the bodies is
I mainly attributable to the immense heap under which
they are buried, and the difficulty in removing it, a
great portion having to be removed almost piecemeal.
The two large fire-proof iron safes, which are of
im-
mense weight, and which contributed in a great measure
to accelerate the falling of the floors, and the consequent
catastrophe, were got out in the course of the morning,
by the combined exertions of upwards of twenty men.
Their contents, which consist of valuable plates and ,
drawings, and other property of considerable value,
were found uninjured. An immense quantity of books
and plates, all of which are stated to be of extreme
value, were also removed and conveyed to the now resi-
dence of Mr. Farey, in Regent-square. The exertions
of the workmen have been mainly directed to the re-
moval of the burnt embers immediately adjacent to the
door in the vicinity of which the bodies are believed to
lie ; and they have cleared them away to within a
couple of feet of the ground. A body of the E divi-
sion of police, under the direction of Inspectors Dudley
and Bell are in attendance, and found much difficulty in
keeping the crowd out of the roadway, and from retard-
ing the labours of the workmen. Several ellows are
hawking about a spurious account of the fire at the
"small price of one halfpenny," to use their words,
which meet with a ready sale to the lovers of the mar-
vellous. The first dozen lines relate to the fire, but the
remainder relates to the late accident on the River, al-
though they are closely combined. It was stated in
some of the newspapers of yesterday, that the
firemen found a man in an insensible state of intoxi-
cation in the wine cellar, and it was surmised
that he had accidently set the premises on fire. A
stretcher was obtained, and he was conveyed to the
station-house, suffering from the effects of the smoke and
heat, and he was taken before the magistrate at Clerken-
well Police-office yesterday, but as it appeared that he
accompanied some of the firemen into the house, for the
purpose of aiding them in their endeavours to get the
fire under, but having accidentally obtained access to the
cellar, and having imbibed some of its contents, and be-
come insensible, his life, hut for his accidental discovery
by the firemen, would have paid the forfeit of his fully.

BANKRUPTCY—(THIS DAY.)
Commissioners Evans and Holroyd sat this morning
but no case of any importance came before them.

IN RE JARVIS. ---
--
The insolvent, a builder, in Kennington-lane, applied
for his interim order, and was examined by a solicitor,
who appeared for several of the creditors.
The Hon. Commissioner EVANS dismissed the peti-
tion, as the insolvent would not swear positively, or to
the best of his belief, whether credit had been given to
him in a certain account for payment of a 15/. bill of
exchange.
