vCONFLAGRATION.—Yesterday (Sunday) morning, at a
minutes before nine o'clock, the industrious and
tensely populated prrish of Bermondsey was visited by
7 outbreak of a terrible fire, which, in a compare-
ely brief period, laid in ruins property veined at
several thousand pounds. The premises in which the
r o-
nnflagration began belonged to Messrs. Morgan and

, rope, line, and twine, manufacturers, and formed
a
considerable portion of that part of Bermondsey
termed the Blue Anchor-road, Jamaica-level, and were
ripened by the equally extensive rope factory be-
Zing to Messrs. Ellis and Barwood, so that, when
discovery was made, it became clearly manifest
that unless the flames could be extinguished in their in-
cipient stage, a fearful fire would follow, and unfortu-
,4-
,ately the latter has proved to be the case. Owing to
Erie combustible nature of the building, formed as it was
rineipally of light timber, the fire extended with such
neazing rapidity, that before an engine had time to
reach the spot the entire structure in which the misfor-
tune commenced was levelled with the ground, from
; nence the devastating element extended to the covered

Frederic
Company. This company was founded by
the Great, in 1772, with a capital of 1,200,000
paiers for carrying on the salt trade with England,
ranee, and Spain ; but as it did not answer the ideas
10exned by its founder, the State, which had re-
served to itself 2,100 -shares of 500 thalers, took
't into its exclusive direction in 1782. It was
'!oelexed to the Finance Department in 1808, and
in 1847 was transferred to that of the Minister
3 Direction
In 1820 it was reorganised, under the title of
rrection General of the Company for Maritime Corn-
'u•
eree. It became a commercial institution of the State,
Independent of the Ministry, and is managed by a re-
sponsible royal commissioner, who has full and unlimited
Powers for carrying on all its operations. The company
directs, as formerly, the purchase of salt from England,
Prance, and Portugal, and delivers the necessary
quantities to the entrepots on the coast, from
Whence the trade is afterwards supplied. The company
also manages for the government all financial affairs,
Without distinction both abroad and at home. The
State guarantees all its operations, and all the engage-
tuents it may enter into, and exercise a surveillance over
it by means of a commission. This company, which has
Just charged itself with the neweloan at 44 per cent., at
the high rate of 96, will issue it on the Ist of July. The
government has bound itself to the company not to con-
cede the remaining half of the loan before the Ist of
October, but it is free to make the concession of it to
