The following is fiom the Levant Herald of the 14th
inst. :

The general impressionwas that the terrible fire which has
destroyed more than half of Pera would have utterly
paralysed all local commercial transactions for the time
being. Strange to say, the result has been different. It
is true that many outstanding debts which were good on
the eve of the fire have become bad or doubtful since ; but,
on the other hand, the destruction of the immense quan-
tity of articles of all kinds has given rise to a great and
general demand, and sales have been unusually brisk in
consequence.

It has been notified that the governor and committee of
the Hudson's Bay Company intend to recommend that
the £300,000 received from the Dominion of Canada be
returned to the shareholders, but that in the present
uncertain state of affairs at Red River they do not propose
to declare a dividend at the ensuing meeting.

and Lincolnshire line, there was a decrease of £594, and on
