EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE
AT TOOTIS:G.
Much excitement prevails at this moment in the parish
of Upper and Lower Tootir4., in con evence of its
being currently reported that an individual, who went
by the name of Anne Welch, and was 83 years of age,
and was generally presumed to be of the female sex,
having, after death, been discovered to be a man. The
reporter has instituted the most diligent inquiries on the
spot, and, although every attempt has been made by
certain parties to hush the matter up, he has succeeded
in obtaining the following particulars, which may be
relied upon as authentic :—The deceased, Anne Welch,
as she was called, had lived at Tooting upwards of half
a century. For a period of nearly 30y-ears, he was colt
in the service of a highly respectable family, and entered
that service as a woman. The lady who engaged him is
still living at Tooting, and is at a very advanced age.
The name of the family is, for obvious reasons, omitted.
The deceased remained in this lady's service until he
was 57 years of ago, when he left it to marry the parish
clerk, whose name was Robert Welch, and who had been
twice a widower. This man was also a schoolmaster.
This extraordinary alliance existed without the remotest
suspicion on the part of the inhabitants. The parties
lived in perfect harmony for upwards of six years, when
Welch died. Of late years a woman, said to be a sister
to this individual, has been living with him. The de-
ceased regularly partook of the sacrament. For
the last twelve months this extraordinary inchvi-
dual resided at the house of a gardener named
Watford. It was after the death of the deceased that
the discovery of the real sex was made. Every attempt,
however, was made to keep the matter a profound secret,
but a woman named Fletcher, who was at:the laying out,
has informed Sergeant Longbottom of the circumstance,
and is willing to make oath as to the truth of the state-
ment before a magistrate. The deceased was buried in
Tooting churchyard on Friday afternoon ; he was in-
terred in the grave of Robert Welch. The coffin, for a
reason that requires explanation, is braced round with
iron ; and when it was lowered into the grave two large
!}.4 pieces of wood were driven in crosswise, to prevent, as
we presume, its being removed clandestinely. The de-
,54 ceased was buried in the name of Anne Welch, and the
Rev. Mr. Graves, the vicar, read the burial service, re.
peating the words, "As it has pleased thee to take the
7 soul of our dear sister."

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR OXFORD-STREET.-3 eB-
- terday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a lire broke
y 4 out on the premises belonging to Mr. J. S. Evans, manufac-
turer of account-books, &c., Berwick-street, Oxford-street.
The fire was caused by achild lighting a piece of paper which
she had packed from among the mass of shavings made in the
74 trade. The ignition of this, with other easily ignitable arti-
-14 des in the workshops, aeon caused a general blaze, and so
3,i rapidly did the fire progress, that by the time the engines
14 arrived the whole of the stock, benches, presses, welting ma-
chines, and floors wore blazing, and the contiguous manufac-
,, tory- of Mr. J. M. Leader, coach-builder, of Oxford-street,
bad caught fire. Unfortunately, the supply of water was ex-
ceedingly, scanty, and the flames mounted most fearfully,threat-
_ ening destruction to the whole of the proximate property.
Shortly afterwards, however, the supply of water was most
_ copious, and the hose being under the direction of the fire•• men most judiciously directed, several streams from opposite
points were poured upon the fire. Eventually it began to
be apparent that the fire would not extend beyond the two
buildings in which it was then burning. It was nearly four
o'clock, however, before it could be considered safely extin-
guished, and by that hour it was discovered by the pro-
prietors that the whole of the stationery department of the
buildings was consumed, and the workshops destroyed. The
coach-building manufactory was gutter, and about fintrteen
carriages destroyed, including one valued at 3001., intended
for the Earl Delamere, and others for noblemen and gentle-
men in town and country. Besides theses there were in the
store-rooms several handsome carriage appointments of con-
siderable value, belonging to illustrious persons not in town,
besides a great quantity of vehicles in-a course of con,truc-
tion. Mr. Leader is unfortunately uninsured. Mr. Evans is
insured. Several surrounding buildings were damaged.
SLAVE• GROWN SUGAR.—We learn on the very best
authority, that a parcel of Louisiana sugar has been recently
purchased at New Orleans, for shipment to Liverpool, with
the view of trying whether it can be profitably sold in the
English market. Of course it will be entitled to entry at the
same duty as free-labour sugar, pursuant to the terms of the
commercial treaty between the two countries.—Manchester

The factory was a strong brick building of about 140 ft_aira
