FIR E.—A •little after five o'clock on Saturday
morning, a fire broke out in the first floor of the
Plough tavern, Clapham •, the alarm was given byl
the watchman, and with difficulty the inmates were
soused out of their sleep ; the pariah engine was on
the spot in a few minutes, and with that some la-
bourers who were going to work, and some bakers
from Mr. pebble's, with pails supplied with water
from Mr. Butterworth's opposite, succeeded in Sr.
testing the progress of the flames, and confining them
to the Lest door, the whole of which, with the fur-
niture, was destroyed. This house has been only
about three weeks occopied, after being newly built
up, having been before burned to the ground. It is
remarkable that about three weeks ago, whilst in the
shell, it had nearly met with a similar fate, owing to
a glee pot boiling over, and communicating to same
loose shavings.
