DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.
—On Thursday evening, about half-put nine o'clock, it
was discovered that the extensive stores of the Miami
Railway Company, at the Trent Junction (where the line
diverges for Nottingham and London) wu on fire. The
contents of the stores consisted of an immense quantity of
'new tarpanliag &beets, oil, tar, and other combustibles, con-
eequently the flames rapidly spread over the buildings. A
telegraphic message was sent to Derby for assistance, and
Mr. Rickman, the station muter at that place, immediately
repaired to the scene of conflagration with the company's
fire engine. In consequence, however, of the inflammable
nature of the contents of the stores, the buildings could not
be saved, the roof falling in about 10.15 the same evening.
The fire was first discovered by Mr. Scott, the manager of
the sheet department, who attempted to subdue the flames,
in which act be was severely burnt. It is supposed that the
fire originated from a spark from an engine, the line passing
