FIRES IL LONDON AND LOSS or LIVES.
London, Aug. 2l.-London has not, in
our recollection, been visited BY such disas-
trous calamities in so short period as
those which occurred al an early hour on
Saturday morning last, when two most de-
siructive conlagraions burst furih almost
simultaneously in Tooley. street, near Lon
don Bridge, and in Fetter Lane, Fleet-si.
The former being attended with an cn0r-
nous sacrifice Of property, in the total de-
siruciion of ToPpings wharf, ST. 0lavc'a
Church, waison's telegraph station, seye.
raj warehouses ard vessels moorcd along
side the wharf, aud the latter resulting in
most deplorable loss Of human li'c.
There were hye other fires 10 different
parts OF London, on the same dreadful ulght.
LONDON MONEY MARKET.
Saturday epealng In the discount cir.
cles there appears TO be an increased de.
mand for money, which is considered ia-
vorable symptom OF an improving state Of
trade. In several instances the brokers
have refused to turn bills into cash, except
a, hie5 Der rates, but, generally speaking, an
advance is not at present insisted on. The
I immense stock OF bullion in The Bank,
nearly i2,00O,0 600, is q sI;iio,eG; check
against any rapid rise in the rates Of dis
count for the time being. As the Autumn
approaches, there is q strong belief, how
ever, that greater activity will be shown
in our various branches of Commerce.
