The oilier rice not

About four o'clock yesterday morning a fire was ob-
served to burst forth suddenly, with great violence, from the house
of a widow lady named Wyburn, in Chester.terrace, Borough-road,
Southwark. The inmates consisted, besides :31rs. Wyburni of het
niece, a gentleman, and a servant girl, all of whom ,had retired to rest,
before 19 o'clock the preceding night, and were at the time in a pro-
found deep; and most probably (from the astonishing rapidity with
which the flames extended) would have perished, but for the provi.
denial eircarastance of the man employed in extinguishing the
gas lamps having, in the course of his round, arrived at the
ssppoott at this critical moment. Without hesitation he instantly
plated his ladder against the house, ran up it. and forced open
the sash of a first floor window, through which he entered the
house, and roused its inmates. By the time this was effected, all
hope of escape down the staircase, and through the strevt-door, was
(from the progress of the fire) cut oil; and the only chance remain.
ing was by the ladder. No time was to be lost in gaining this,
and'the brave fellow who had thus ventured himself for dteir re-
lief hurried the women there, and, aided by some persons from
without, succeeded in safely landing them in ti:c street. Such was
the haste with which they were obliged to escape, that they had
nothing on them but their night garments. A coach was
speedily procured, in which they were conveyed to the house of a
relative, residing in the neighbourhood. The gentleman in the
mean time had made his escape down the ladder. By this time the
house was one general blue of fire, and most serious apprehensions
were entertained for those on the other side. Several engines, and a
strong body of the police, had, however, arrived. Water was plen-
tifully supplied. and, while the firemen were engaged busily plying
their engines. the police, by forming a complete line around the'
spot, kept off the crowd—thus preventing the firemen being impeded
in their exertions, and affbrding perfect security from plunder to
those goods which the neighbours were busily engaged in bringing
into the street from out of their respective houses. Within about two
hours after its commencement, the fire—notwithstanding its formid-
able appearance—was wholly extinguished, and without having ex-
tended beyond the house in which it burst forth. The whole of the
property in that, however, is totally destroyed, and, to aggravate
the calamity, Illrs. Wyburn Is not insured for a penny.
