amstances :
Richard Watson, of 12, Whitecross-street, stated

7.soner came up to him, and, pointing at a particular

v,,ess agreed that it was; and after some further con-
:Nation the prisoner said, "You seem a judge of
Vele things ; I beg your pardon for asking you, but
out of employ now, and I have a few very fine
relics which I would dispose of for a trifle." Witness

head off, if you don't give me all the

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE:
The fire which we announced as having broke out
nn the extensive factory_ of Mr. Morgan, wax and
tallow chandler to her Majesty, No. 18, Tottenham-
!ourt-road, has, we regret to state, before it was sub-
'Ned, destroyed property to the extent of between
40,000/. and 40,0001. The fire was first discovered
,
"Y a constable of the E division. In less than a
quarter of an hour, the whole of the warehouses, fac-
tories, and melting rooms, were in flames ; the melted
tallow ran into the streets like a stream of water.
The back premises of Mr. Kerslake, .tinman, caught,
and afterwards the roof of St. Patrick's school. About
four o'clock several of the walls gave way, which ar-
rested the progress of the flames, and by six o'clock all
"anger of further progress of the devouring element
Was at an end. How the fire originated could not be
'ascertained. The property destroyed is insured in
the Norwich Union 'and British Fire Offices. A large
quantity of salvage is expected to be recovered from
the shop of Mr. Morgan.
The following is a copy of the official report, made
at a late hour last evening :
