OF the above, there will be con.
siderable savings from tho stocks OF
Broussard and Wood, go that tho
losses of the Company Will proba-
bly fall below $4,000. There was
some reinsurance by this company,
which will reduce their losses con-
siderably.
The Office of the Union Marine
Insurance Company was destroyed,
and we cannot ascertain the amount
of risks taken by them.
1t is generally conceded that the
fire was the work Of an incendiary.
and that it originated in the rear of
Cert Bros. There was great deal
of pilfering going on, and the police
succeeded in bagging n number OF
the unconscionable rascals. Mem
bers of the force, on duty oh tho
Strand during the conflagration,
assert that many packages OF goods
were conveyed away in skiffs from
the rear of the burning buildings.
THROUGH TICKETS AROUND THE
WoRLD.-We learn that one of the
principal Eastern railways has an
arrangement nearly completed to
Issue through tickets by rail and
steamer around the world. 1t is be;
licved the whole plan can be COM
pletcd by the 1st of February. The
tickets afe ID bS good until used,
giving travellers an opportunity to
make excursions in Japan, China,
and the Holy Land, or, wherever
tourists may be disposed to leave
the main line of travel. The ar
rangemonts are now complete, and
price fixed from New York as far
east as Alexandria, in Egypt, and
west to Yokahoma and Shanghai
An agent is now on his way to ar
range with the English steamship
lines between China and the head
of the Red Sea and tho railway to
Alexandria. AS soon as this is done
it will be announced in New York
by telegraph, and the tickets will
be ready for delivery. A table of
distances, With time, between i'm
portant points, &C., is TO bo printed
upon them, and a synopsis Of all in
formation that will be essential to
the traveller. The whole trip can
be made inside of ninety days, and
the entire cost will be aboat seven
hundred and fifty dollars in, gold.-
We are not informed whether this
sum will include staterooms and
meals upon steamers, and berths on
Pullmafi's Palace Car line, from
New York to San Francisco, but we
presume it will, for it is intended
to combine the highest possible
speed and comfort fof the traveller.
The sthettie Is important in its mag
nitude and probable fesalts tpoh
the commerce and the civilization
of the World, but it is now certain
that a few weeks, at riicst, will see
it fully Realised. The Cost ofah en-
tire trip around the world will be
from q thousand to twelve hundred
dollars in coin.-[Chicago Tribute.
