DESTRUCTION OF THE ALBEMARLE
Puurac-itousF..—Yesterday morning, between one and
two o'clock, a destructive fire broke out in the house of
Mr. T. CARTER, landlord of the Albemarle public-house,
situate at the corner of Stafford-street, Piccadilly. The
inmates had not retired to rest above half an hour, when
Mr. and Mrs. CARTER were aroused by the cries of the
servant, whose bed-loom was in flames, which shortly
made rapid progress through the entire building. Mr.
CARTER and his wife had only time to effect an escape,
and then only in their night clothes, before the whole of
the lower' part of the house was enveloped in flames.
The servant of a gentleman, who at present resides at
HiTcHErr's hotel, had lodged in the house a short time,
and in consequence of the flames gaining such alarming
ascendancy, threw himself out of his bet-room window
nto the street. The unfortunate man was•taken up and
conveyed to St. George's Hospital in a most lamentable
condition, two of his ribs anti one of his legs being broken
by the fall. A report prevailed that he had died of the
injuries he received, but on our making inquiries at the
hospital yesterday afternoon, we ascertained that he was
then alive, but in a very dangerous state. Lord C. BEN--
TINCK, the Hon. Mr. WELLESLEY, and several other
distinguished characters, were prompt on the spot, and
rendered material service in rescuing the inmates from
their danger. A young man and a boy, finding it impos-
sible to effect an escape by the street door, proceeded to
the top of the house, where they remained on the almost
insupportable hot tiles till they were rescued from their
impending fate by the exertions of Lord C. BENTINCK•
So rapid were the flames in their progress through the
entire house, that not an article of value was saved from
destruction, and the premises were, in about an hour
from the commencement of the fire, reduced to ruins.—
A lady of the name of FAULKNER, who resided in the
house, had so much difficulty in preserving her own life,
that she had not time to secure about 30 sovereigns which
were in a box.
