DEsTaucTivE PIRG—•PROVIDENTIAL sot
Lir c.—This morning, about three o'clock, the int.:*
bitants of Worship-street, Shoreditch, were thrown into
the utmost state of consternation and alarm, in conse-
quence of a fire having been discovered in the upper part
of the house of Mr. Tuffrey, a chair-inanufacturer, iu
Worship-street, nearly adjoining the gasometer-house of
the Chartered Gas Company, Curtain-road ; and what
increased the alarming scene was, that there are six
gasometers, each containing 17.000 square feet of gas,
iu that part of the premises next to where the fire broke
out, and the apprehensions entertained in consequence
were that the heat would have the effect of swelling the
gas, so as to cause it to burst and blow up. The fire was
first discovered by one of the workmen at the gas factory,
who instantly gave an alarm, and it was with some diffi-
culty the inmates of the house could be aroused to a sense
of their perilous situation, when they all providentially
escaped, almost in a state of nudity. The devouring ele-
ment continued to rage with unabated fury. The terror
of the inhabitants began to subside, upon their finding
that the engine of the Gas Company began to play. Under
the immediate directions of Mr. Kitt and Mr. Johnston,
two of the company's clerks, to whose exertions the
greatest possible praise is due, aided by the prompt as-
sistance of Inspector Rodgers, (whose intrepidity in case
of fire is already before the public) and a party of the New
Police. The gas engine is stationed in the centre of the
extensive premises, having at all times a powerful supply
of water, and from which there are eight connecting
pipes, directed to different parts of the concerns, and by
affixing a tube to any one of the pipes so turned on, the
engine can play on any fire within the length of the tube,
which is little short of four hundred yards, and which
may be applied in any direction from the premises ;
and in this case its force, and the quantity of water it
threw, were such as to completely strip the roof of the
tiles, in consequence of which the timber was no more
than merely scorched ; and, therefore, confined the ele-
ment to the spot where it was first discovered, doing no
other injury than destroying the furniture.
Extract of a letter from Meerut, dated 14th Dec...-A
soldier of his Majesty's 31st regiment attempted to take
the life of his officer here two days ago. Captain
Shaw was drilling his company at evening parade,
when some of the men were late, and he ordered
their names to be sent in for punishment. One of
the fellows, named Redmond, slipped out and asked
if he was to be punished, when Captain S. said, " I
have ordered none yet," upon which he presented
his musket, loaded, at his head, when Captain Shaw
perceiving the flint, pushed the muzzle on one side,
and the ball whizzed past his car. Redmond is now in
confinement.
