The show of Beasts iu to-day's market was bat mode-

'Y'B prices wero supported, the primest Soots being

the increase the demand tor that description of stock

THE SUN,

the flames rolled forth like streams of liquid fire, throw-
ing up a glare of light which illuminated not merely the
eastern portion of London, but the refleoiien could be
seen as far off as Gravesend. Fortunatay the mains of
the Eat Loudon Company 3ichled an abundant supply
of water, from which the firemen set their engines to
work under the direction of Messrs. Fogo, Connorton,
and Overton, but in spite of which the wcrk of destruc-
tiveness continued, and eventually the roof and floors of
the large house fell, and consequently the costly stock
in trade fell along with them. The loss, it is expected,
will exceed 20,0001.; and unfortunately the firm was
insured for only 6 0001. The origin of the misfortune is
enveloped in obscurity.

THE VAST SCALE of our RAILWAY SYSTEM.

Apart from its higher developments, a very few gross
facts will show the position of the railway system in our
country. It appears that up to the end of 1850 railway
companies had raised a sum equal to 240 k millions
sterling, and retained powers to raise a further sum of
1221 millions. In June, 1851, the number of persons
employed on railways open for traffic was 63,500, and
on those in course at construction 43,000. In the United
Kingdom, 85i millions of persons travelled by railways
in 1851, nod paid eight millions sterling for doing so;
while, for the transport of goods, seven other millions
were paid, according to the official report of Captain
Simmons, recently published. Look, too, at the Railway
Clearing house, which may be described as representing
all the railways in account with any individual line,
and which has become a matter of enormous magnitude,
with a business of the most elaborate character.
About fifty companies are associated in this system, of
which the public know nothing, though they owe to it
facilities of the greatest value and importance. The in-
creasing amount and difficulty of the business transacted
here, in settling the proportions to bo paid and received
by different lines in respect of the travellers and goods
passing over more than one, will ultimately lead to amal-
gamation in one shape or other, even if other circum-
stances did not tend the same way. The public will
have to protect themselves when this approaches. The
companies, if they are wise, will make the present des-
potism so light that it may not be felt. Should they
pursue an opposite policy, we may prognosticate, with-
out fear of failure, the ultimate assumption of all the
lines by the State.—Builder.
