TREMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION IN LABIRETE.---
This morning, between two and three o'clock, a fire. a'-
tended with the destruction of property vilified at some,
thousand pounds, suddenly burst forth from a long range 41
premises situate between Bennett-street and Stamtord-
street, Blackfriars-road. -The principal building was owl'
pied by Mr. Saxton, a timber merchant, whose prooerti extends from Upper Ground-street almost as far as Stank'
ford-street, but owing to the large nmisber of houses that in-
tersected the premises on either side, it was at one period
feared that every house near would have fallen a prey to the
fury of the destructive element—as it was, in the space of a
few minutes the flames shot forth in such a • body as to rise
high above the houses near, and the reflection was so great
that the fire could be seen for many miles distant. In fact,
the metropolis was rendered as liga as at noonday for

MARY doEARAM. BY MRS. GREY, Author of
"The Gambler's Wife," &c.—This novel seems to be gene-
rilly considered the best Mrs. Grey has yet produced.
" &Lary Seaham (says the John Bull) is an admirable work
—a powerfully conceived novel founded on a plot of high,
moral and dramatic interest. The style in which it is told
is lively and attractive, with powerful touches and incidental
remarks, showing a deep insight into the Workings of buratto
nature. The heroine is perfect in hor sweet tenderness, her
womanly devotion, and the lofty dignit=y to which she rises
under the discipline of her sharp trials.'

SEVENOARS RAILWAY.—It would seam that some
project is now on foot for the purpose of supplying this
neighbourhood with efficient railway accommodation, and
it is conjectured, that the South-Eastern Company are the
originaters of it. Two gentlemen, surveyors, have
been staying at the Crown Hotel, who have been taking
the levels of a line from the North Rent Railway at Dart-
ford, to Sevenoaks, near which latter place it is probable'
a fork is contemplated, proceeding to Maidstone on theoue hand and to Tunbridge on the other.—Dover Chronicle.

Sir James and Lady Matheson have arrived n_

It is positively stated that the Strasburg Railway
Company proposed to open on the 15th inst. the sections of
the line trom Commercy to Nancy and from Nancy to Lune-
