INTERNAL COMMERCE AND RAILROAD CON- STRUCTION—BEPOBT FROM THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS, The Director of the Bureau of Statistics, in answer to a request from the Secretary of tho Treasury, has transmitted to him a jengthy statement showing the Condition of our internal commerce during the last five years; the relative vaiue of our internal and foreign commerce; the number of miles of railroad Constructed in the United States during the last ten years; the quantty of ireo and steel bars produced in the United States and the quantity imported during that period, 1a regurd to our internalcommerce he submitsa table showing the number of tons ol freignt transported over the New York Centrai Railroad, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, the Penusylvania Rail- road and the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne aud Chicago itail- road, each year, trom 1873 to 1877 inclusive, a says the traffic on the Lake Shore und Michigan Southern Railroad increased six and a half per cent from 1873 to 1877; the trae on the New York Central Rail- road increased nearly four per cent from 1874 to 1877; the traffic of tho Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Kailroad showed an tucrease of sixteen per cent, aud the traffic of the Pennsylvania Rallroad showed an in+ crease of fourand a half percent, It appears that the total truifle om the four roads showed an increase of ten per cent from 1874 to 1878. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company state only the number of through tons of merchandise frou Baitimore to the Obio River, and, comparing 1573 with 1877, shows an increase of sixty- three aad one-half per cent, ‘ihe tnorease in trafic over the Union Puciflc Railway bas increased forty- seven per cent since 1873.

The receipts of grain at sea ports during the year ending August 31, 1878, seventy per cent groater than those of 1875, and the largest in the uistory of the country. He expresses the belief that the com- merce over the leading ratiroads above named covusid- erably exceeds in value tho entire foreign commerce ‘of the Caited States, imports and exports combined. In regard to the construotion of railroads he says:— During the last four years’ we have been bailaing railroads at the rate of 2,224 mules por year. The im- Portatiou of railroad bars, of both iron and stee!, Jel trom 695,321 tons io 1871 te 12 tons in the year 1877; but the production of iron and sice! pars in the Uniied States increased from 2,958,141 tons during the five years from 1867 to 1871, to 4,056,340 tons during the uve years from 1873 to 1877, un increase of 37 per cent. The supply of irou and steel railroad bars necessary to meet the demand of our 79,000 miles of railroad wlready in operation, for renewals of truck and lor the extenston of track facilities in order to moet the iner about three times as large as the supply required for track laying on new roads. This producuon of bars to supply railroads iu operation has in fact mainly sustained the iron and steel rail interests of the coun- try in thetr present state of efficioncy.

Considerable Property Destroyed by the Rising Waters. A disaster which might have been attended with terribie loss et life, but which, so far as ascertained, Ras resulted im notbing more serious than the de- struction ef a large amount of property on Sunday night, befell the little town of May’s Landing, the capital of Atlantic county, N. J. The town, which is sixty-five miles south of Trentoa, in Galloway Township, is built at tho head of Great Egg Harbor River, aud 8 Givided Into two parts, May’s Landing = proper, which contains the Court House and Jat!, and Hamilton, about a quarter of a mile further up the river, In this latter portion of the town is Woods’ cotton mill, @ large factory which is run by the water power of o race flowing from Great Ezg Harbor River. Asin all similar cases the flow of water to thé ponderous wheel, which turng’ all the machinory inthe mill, is regulated by an immense dam some distance above it, BURSTING OF THs DAM On Sunday night, when al! the town had retired to rest, this dom suddenly burst and tue mighty yolame of water which it bad hitherto kept quietly above it was in an instant transformed into a raging torrent, which, witha roar lke the roll of distaut thunder, Pushed down upon the little town and its unconscious inmates, bearing everything before it ia its mad em- brace. Bridges, piles of lumber, fences—cverything, im fact, that they mot, was borne away by tne rush- ing waters. STARTLED FROM SLUM All unconscious of the pert! the people in May’s Landing were wrapped in slumber, when suddenly the mighty body of waters broke upon the town, dashed gguinet tho houses and filled their lower Stories with a secthing torrent, In an instant all was activily. People, startied out of their slambers by the dull roar of the waters, jamped to their feet to flod tbemsolves surrounded by the angry element, A scone of the wildest excitement ensued, and while it was at its height several persons are reported to have been drowned. CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS, It is moreover asserted that the bodies of a woman ! and child were threwn up on the river bank three miles below the town. Theso statements, however, could not be verified, but were even positively ae- bied by the police aud town authoritie. Thelatter Say that no persons have been reported missing. THE BSCAPE, The town is-surroundea by bigh grounds, and to these, when the first excitement had somewhat abated, the-terror strieken people made their way, tnus escaping a watery grave, Mony of them wel in thetr might clothing, few taking time even to guther up their clothing as they rushed out of their houses, Several of thei were atrack by pleces of timber borne on the fived, but so far as ascertained none were-serlously injured. THE DAMAGE, In addition-to the toss that will be%sustained by the destruction of household goeds, the coal and Jumber mon, of whom there are several in the town, will suffer constdcrably, and it ts roughly estimated that their loss wilhexceed $30,000.
