ALARMING FlRE.—This morning, about
half-past two o'clock, the watchman stationed at the corner
of Chapel-street, Edgware-road, observed flames issuing
from a ham and beef house, No. 4, in that street, kept by
a man named Fairbrother. He instantly ran to the house,
and, by repeatedly knocking, succeeded in awakening the
inmates. Mr. Fairbrother, who with his wife slept in the
first pair room, attempted to get down stairs, but when he,
opened the door for the purpose, the volume of fire and
smoke that burst into the room, prevented him from 'put-
ting his intent into execution. The screams of Mre. Fair-
brother and her three daughters at this moment were quite
appalling. They were seen running about tlee room in a
state of distraction. The persons in the stret,t called on them
to leap from the window, which tlxy did, fortunately
without receiving any injury. Mr. Fairbrother also escaped
in the same way. About this time the door was burst
open, when a son of Mr. F. a lad between 17 and
18 years of age, was found enveloped in flames and dread-
fully burnt. He was immediatelyconveyed to St. George's
Hospital. Scarcely had the family been delivered from
their perilous situation, when the floors, roof, and back-
wall gave way, and in less than three quarters of an hour
from tha discovering of the fire the house was a complete
ruin. A number of engines arrived on the spot, but their
attention was directed entirely to the saving of the adjoining
houses, as from the commencement all hope of benefiting
the one where the fire had broken out was congeieed to be
useless.

Miss Chester, formerly of our theatre, it is
said, has retired from the stage. She has taken
a house at Bray, in Berkshire, near the place of
her nativity, and has endeared herself to the poor
on the spot by her kindness and liberality.
