It originated from some unknown cause ou the premiere, No. 11, occupied ua beershoP by Mr. J. Parr, a three stony building. On the alarm being raised the fire was found to be wing at the bark, and was makiog rapid proper op the i narase to the upper rooms. As soon as the information m acs( the Brigade station in Bishopsgats-strest, the fyct ICU telegraphed to Captain Shaw, who called 04: all the engines from some half dozen sir _ - toes for service. By the time the earlier force reached the spot the fire bed pcameuion of the whole of the w.k portion of the premises from the basement to the roof. and there seemed little probability of any pert being mild. The tiretnea led their hose into the burning premiss, sad followed the fire up. Haviog scoured it out from the basement they went up the staircase and ra lly into all the roans in the home, and . . _ gic oeeded by those measures in getting the fire subdued.

Mr. Bridges, and four or five others who were in the shop, were pertly covered in dust, but 1 1 ssit.oned no injury. Two or three of the mec who wars i n tht upper doors fell with them to the bottom, and it was almost a miracle they were not killed. One eficer named Than, attached to Whitacrosestreet, was buried underneath the rains for nosey half an hoar before be could be extricated, but was Nord not to be so much iriarld as at lint feared. Some of the adjoining houses . 4 ,c.,ined a great deal of damage—that of Mr. W.

This morning between five and six o'clock a very WHOOS collision happened on the river, off the weeks of the w oe& Steam Navigation Company, at Deptford, which ir , lited in the siskiog of a fine bargee, whack had recently mired in the river from the Mediterranean with s cargo of sulphur. The bisque was lying at Ur regular moorings off the lepers part of jcptford, on the south side of mid-channel, when a large iron screw steamship, reported to be the Beta, bound to. rap, on her way down the river, struck the ship on the ;Irt quarter, close to the stern. The steamer cams ono on, and, such was the fearful character of the i:ow that the barque was cot down several feet, and .'.nren from bee moorings nearer towards Greenwich. It was then found that the ship was fast Wing. Fortunately tte Clew were enabled to take to the boats and preserve tanuelves before the ship went down. She now lien in the Lrwsy of the navigatioo, bat the Thames conservancy har bour-masters have taken the usual pretentious to protect the Sipping laming up and down the pool from sustaining I.msge or (ethos foal of the snakes ship. The weasel which was Ding near to the barque also sustained some image. The loss of the barque and her cargo will involve 'considerable amount. The Beta after some delay pro ,•Nded on her nouns down the river. The barque is re ...vied to be insured. MADRAS RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

Business has diminished, and there is a complete absence of excitement. Further light respecting the pro bable movements' in politics and in the money market is awaited, and the general tone is dull. The funds are firm, upon invest ments, and Consols are quoted about per cent. better than they closed yesterday ; but, as regards most other securities, where any alteration is ob servable in prices, it is in a downward direction. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 66fr. 45c., being per cent lower than on Wednes day. Consols are now quoted 901 to 1 with div. for money, and 891 to 90, ex div. for the account (June 8). The official business report is as fol- ' lows :-Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 901, 1, 1 ; ditto for account, 894, 90 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 884, 1 ; New Three per Conte., 881, 1 ; Annuities, 1883, 14 7.16, 1 ; India Stock, 219 ; ditto Five per Cent. stock, 1041, 1, 4 ; ditto Bonds, 15s. die. ; Exchequer Bills, March, Be., 15s. die. ; ditto June, 84., 46., as. dia. Spanish Passive Bonds are inquired for, and are now 1 per cent. better than they closed yesterday, being quoted 331 to 34, but other foreign stock% are rather flat. Mexican Bonds are lower, at 424 to 1, and Greek 1 worse, at 211 to 22. Turkish Conaolid‘s are also lower, at 50 to 4. Transactions are recorded as follows :-Brazilian, 1863, 85 ; Dutch Certificates, 991; Egyptian, 1001, 100; Greek, for account, 224, 214, 22; for account, 661 ; Mexican, for account, 42 4, 1,4, 1 ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 86, 841 ; Portuguese, 1856, dm, for account, 471 ; Russian, 1822, 86 ; Sardinian, for account, 85 ; Spanish Passive, for account, 334, 34, 334, 341 ; ditto Certificates, for account, 114, 1; Turkish, 1868, for account, 681, 68 : ditto, 1862, for ac count, 701, 4 ; ditto 1001.

The Etna has arrived from New York, with 274,0001. in gold, which is expected to be sent into the Beak. The discount market is quiet to-day, but the rates for first class bills are maintained at 9 to 19 per cent. It is believed that many mercantile firms have, during the last few days borrowed largely in excess of their actual requirements. FOUR o'CLocK. Consols are fractionally lower than at 2 o'clock, being quoted 902 to I, with div., for money, and 892 to i, ex div., for the account. 63,000/. in gold has been sent into the Bank. The demand at the Bank of England discount office yesterday was again active, but not urgent. In the general market extreme caution continues to be shown. The terms for good bills, whether short or long dated, ranged yesterday from 9 to 10 per cent. In the Stock Exchange yesterday morning short loans on English government securities commanded 8 to 9 per cent., but in the afternoon the terms were 7 to 8, and it would appear that the supply of money really available, though temporarily held beck, is considerable. The joint-stock banks still allow only 6 per cent. for money on deposit. The rates of the dis count establishments are also unchanged, being per cent. "at call," 6 per cent at seven days' notice, and 7 per cent. on deposits subject to fourteen days' notice. The fact that the shares in many of the recently created projects are almost unsaleable should act ass warning to the public not to subscribe to any DbW undertaking unless they are in a position to treat their investment as a permanent one. There are many instances in which persons dabbling in new projects without the intention or ability to hold per manently have been surprised by tile present move ment in the money market, and subjected to serious lows and inconvenience. About 217,000/. in gold was bought by the Bank yesterday. The Dover Castle, from Melbourne, has brought 67,5001. in gold, and the Magdalena, from Brazil, 12,2971. The total amount of gold shipped from Melbourne to England during the month is 186,5001. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Monday next a special settling day in the shares of the following companies, viz. :—'Warrant Banking Company (Limited), South Wales Colliery (United), and North Western Bank (Limited). Tuesday, the 10th, has also been appeinted a settling day in the scrip of the Venezuela Government Biz per Cent. Loan. All are to be officially marked A call of 31., making 141. paid, is to be paid on the 1) shares of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway Company, and • call of 2L 10s., making 101. paid, on the E shares—in each case by the 24th inst. The prospectus of the Ashton Vale Iron Com pany (Limited) is in circulation. The object is to acquire and work the Ashton Vide opal and iron ores and other mineral properties, and to carry on the manufacture of wrought and finished iron in the immediate neighbourhood of BristoL Full de tails are given with regard to the nature and extent of the rights assigned to the company. The exten sive works and plant, together with the colliery, leases, to are to be purchased by the company for 60,0001, bat it is a favourable feature that no cash is to peas at preeent, the vendors taking 40,0001. in paid-up shares, and the remainder in debentures, payable by ten yearly instalments. The vendors, however, reserve the option of con verting the debentures into shares at par. The direction comprises seven respectable local names. The capital is 150,01)01., in 6,000 shares of 261. each, but the first issue is to be limited to 4,000 shares, and of these only 2,400 remain for allotment.

In ordinary cams such grievemeaMictioo would have deterred the mutterer from any athmpt at making either a name or a position in the world or io society but by an exercise of the will which only those whet have seen the anther of " Freak Faishieh " aas adequately appreciate.
