SA TURD A V, A UQ VST 27,1870.

It is evident that there has been a very narrow escape this morning, at the Queen street wharf, from enormous loss of property, and fortunate it is that the masters and men of the neighbouring vessels were so promptly on the spot. Hai the flames succeeded in forcing communication with the air, not only night the Excelsior have become a prey, but the wharf and vessels alongside would have been all seriously imperilled. It was, perhaps, all the better that the City Fire Brigade was not on the spot, for the seamen, being accus tomed to anticipate having to cope with fire occurring in air-tight walls, look promptly the most effectual means to prevent its gain ing the mastery, by simply suffocating the flames. Nevertheless it is calculated to convey an uneasy feeling to learn that the city brigade did not make its appearance. It is true its absence is susceptible of explanation? but explanations will not extinguish fires. It appears that the superintendent, as bis duty is, proceeded direct to the fire, the brigade mustered at the engine-house; the fire-bells rang intermittently, and there being the ab sence of the usual glare, nobody could tell the firemen where was the scene of the fire, and they we're dismissed under the belief that it was a false alarm. In this

city of ours we may never learn till we are taught by dire disaster. Our vessels are lighted at night at the cost of the Tauvanga; we shall hare the magazine removed when half the citizens are blown into eternity ; and the simple means to signal the position of a fire, in use in every other city, will be adopted when something more serious than the fire in the Excelsior compels it. In every place else, the city and suburbs are divided into fire districts, and on the fire being dis covered, the bell tolls furiously forth the tidings ; then Btopa and slowly tolls the num ber of the district, peals rapidly again, and, stopping, tolls again the number. The ad vantages of such an arrangement are obvious, and we hope to see it adopted by our Fire

Brigade,

S. Cochrane and Son's sale of household furniture, at the residence of It. Douglas, Esq., Woodford Villa, Epsom, will take place on Monday, the sth pros., and not on Mon day first, as advertised in our morning con temporaries.

There was an excellent attendance in the City Hall last night, at the Glassblowers 1 en tertainment. It seems almost a pity that Mr. and Mrs. Woodroffe should have resolved on leaving when apparently in the midst of such a golden harvest, but as they have made their arrangements, to-day is the last of the exhibi tion in Auckland. As we go to press a day light performance is proceeding, having com menced at half-past two, and to-night the last exhibition will take place. The Glas^ steam engine which bas been the cynosure of many thousand eyes i 3 to-night to be taken to pieces and its component parts and general internal economy exhibited and explained to spectators. As a last performance, and with guch an addition to the interesting features of the exhibition, we anticipate a bumper house. Such an entertainment as that|of the Glass blowers is to be welcomed to any city; and we wish them success wherever their future wanderings may lead them. The pleasure and instruction afforded by their nightly ex hibitions have been unattended by a solitary objectionable feature, while the straight forwardness and urbanity of their popular, agent and general manager, Mr. Peachman, has largely contributed to their popularity.

On Monday evening at the Hall of the Mechanics' Institute, a benefit will be taken by Mif. Neill, in the form of a musical and literary entertainment. From the names of those assisting, and from his own elocutionary ability, we have no doubt that Mr. Neill, who deserves well of the public and of the Institu tion for his own generous services in giving benefits to others, will receive a substantial requital in a well-filled house.

As will be seen from another column the Oarandini family,assisted by Madame Winter, have generously granted their services at a grand concert to be given on Thursday next, at the City Hall in behalf of the funds of the AH Saint's Church. Aided by the ability and popularity of these favourite songstresses, and enjoying the patronage and presence of Lady Bowen, the entertainment will, we have no doubt, be eminently successful.

We learn that Captain Peek, of the Mary Shepherd, will preach (d.y.) in the High street Congregational Chapel to-morrow (Sun day) morning, at 11 o'clock.

We heartily wish success to tho movement now on foot for the establishment of a paper mill in Auckland. As will be seen from an other column, the affair is being launched, and so soon as the required number of share holders has been filled up, the works will be commenced. Few places are so favorably cir cumstanced for the initiation of such an in dustry. The material, the great difficulty in other lands, is here in boundless quantities to our hand, and the enormous consumption of paper in proportion to the population, to gether with its rapidly advancing cost, owing to failure in supply of raw material for the factories, presents a prospect of satisfactory results beyond that ordinarily shown by new projects. To those who have capital to in vest we would recommend consideration of the prospectus of the New Zealand Steam Paper Mill Company (Limited).

A resident from Drake-street informs us

that the pathway leading from Cook-street to Wellingto-i-street is after nightfall in a highly dangerous state, owing to the absence of a proper light to mark the landslip which has lately taken place in that neighbourhood. We are sure that we have only to bring the matter under the notice of the City Board and the remedy will be at once applied. An emergency meeting of Lodge St. Andrew's will be held at the Star Hotel on Monday evening.

Thanksgiving Services will be held to morrow at the Church of the Holy SepuWire —in the morning, prayer, with Holy Com munion, and sermon, by the Bishop of Auck land ; in the afternoon, Litany, by the Rev. C. M. Nelson ; and in the evening, prajer and sermon by the Rev. D. Jones.

FIRE ON HOARD SHIP.

The ship Excelsior, lying at the Queen strec-t wharf, was, about midnight last night, the scene of a fire, which, fortu nately, was suppressed before it had made formidable headway. The smoke was first discovered issuing from the fore hatch by William Legg, watchman en the Williams, who proceeded to make the firebell on the wharf ring out the signal. The captains and crews of the neighbour ing vessels were speedily to the front, and mainly, by shutting off communication with the atmosphere, and by the use of the hose pouring water freely into the vessel from the hand-engines of the Mary Shepherd and Santon, and the donkey engine of the Sydenham, the spread of the fire was arrested. Inspector Broham and the police did good service ; and Mr. Asher, superintendent of the City Fire Brigade, was present, but owing to con fusion in the ringing of the firebelis, his staff did not appear in force. Fortunately, under the direction of the sea captains present, and the ready alacrity of the crews —who are always prepared for such emergencies as this—the services of the brigade were not required.

THE SURVEY.

A survey as to the amount of damage dono by the fire was held at 11 o'clock this forenoon, by Captain Daldy and Captain Clayton, on behalf of the ship, and in the presence of G. P. Pierce, Esq., for the New Zealand Insurance Company ; G. Thome, I sq., for the Pacific Insurance Company ; and D. Cruickshank, Esq., for the Southern Insurance Company. It was found that £500 worth had been damaged ; that the decks and beams had been very much charred, and that the chief damage had been done to cargo con signed to Napier. Nothing was known as to the oriein of the fire, which will be the subject of a special inquiry, probably, on Monday.

We observe that Mr. Henry Kohn, jeweller, of Queen-street, is about to remove to the more commodious premises ab present occu pied by Messrs. Upton and Co., and that lie ia about to sell off his very largo stock of valu able jewellery, at greatly reduced pi-ice.', in order to make room for a fresh stock, which is shortly expected to arrive.

THE NEW LODGER.

Hood's quaintriess and rich humour always combine an air of truthfulness and simplicity, which render the efforts of his pen life like and natural, as well as en tertaining. The productions ,of comic writers are generally ephemeral in their character,—light and amusing for the time, but in a few fleeting years, from the change of manners and sentiments, their quips and oddities lose the point and smartness which they possessed; ( but Hrod " held the mirror up to nature 'so truly, that we may gaze on the pictures which he delineates with an enduring in terest, every touch of his pen reminding us of some reality which we hare met with in actual experience. The following sketch may be taken as an instance of these qualities : — " Poor Miss Hopkinson! She had been ill for a fortnight, of a disorder which especially affected the nerves ; and quiet, as Dr. Boreham declared, was indispensa bly necessary for her recovery. Ho the Servants wore list shoes, and the knocker was tied up, and the street in front of number four was covered with straw. , In the meanwhile the invalid derived js? >at comiort from the unremitting at- I intions of her friends and acquaintance ; she was particularly gratified by the ' constant kind enquiries of Mr. Tweedy, the new lodger, who occupied the apart ments immediately over her head. " If you please, ma'am," said Mary, for the hundredth time, " it's Mr. Tweedy's compliments, and begs to know if you feel .any better?" |f/ 1 am infinitely obliged to Mr. Tweedy, i/ni sure," whispered the sufferer —" lam la leetle easier—with my best thanks and

compliments." JN off, Miss Hopkinson was a spinster lady of a certain age, and she was not a little flattered by the uncommon interest the gentleman above stairs seemed to take in her state of health. She could not help recollecting that the new lodger and a very smart new cap had entered the house on the same day. She had fortunately worn the novel article on her accidental ■encounter with the stranger ; and, as she used to say, a great deal depended on first impressions. " What a very nice gentleman 1" re marked the nurse, as Mary closed the bed room door. " What an uncommon nice man !" cried Miss Filby, an old familiar gossip, who had come to cheer up the invalid with all the scandal of the neighbourhood. "And he will send, ma'am," said the nurse to the visitor, "to ask alter us a matter of five or six times a day." " It is really extraordinary," said Miss Filby, " and especially in quite a stranger!" " IS o, not quite," whispered the invalid ; "I met him twice octhe stairs." " Indeed !" said Miss Filby. " it's like a little romance. Who knows what may oome of it? I hare known as sudden things come to pass before now." " There is summut in it surely," said the nurse. " I only wish, ma'am, you could hear how warm and pressing he is in asking after her, whoever comes in his way. There was this morning, on the landing —' Is urse,' says he, quite earnest like, 'Nurse, do tell me how she is?' ' Why, then, sir,' says I, ' she is as well as can be expected.' 'Ah,' said he, 'that's the old answer, but it won't satisfy me. Is she better or worse ?' ' Well, then, sir,' says I, ' she's much the same.' ' Ah,' says he, fetching sich a long-winded sigh, 'there's where it is. the may linger in that way for months.' ' Let us hope not,' says I. ' You will be pleased to hear as how she's going to try to eat a bit o' chicken.' ' Chicking ! ' says he, saving your presence, ma'am, —'chicking! it's her nerves, nurse, her nerves ; how are her nerves ?' 'To be sure, sir,' says I I them's her weak pints, but Dr. Boreham do say, provided they're kept quiet, and not played upon, they'll come round agin in time.' ' Yes,' says he, 'in time, that's the divil on it;' and you can't think how feeling he said it.—'What aweary time,' says he, ' she have been !' " " Well, upon my word," exclaimed Miss Filby, " these are very like love symptoms, indeed. However, I'm not jealous, my dear," and she shook her head waggishly at the invalid, who replied with a faint smile, that she was a giddy creature, and quite forgot the weak state of her nerves. II But to be sure, it is odd," said Miss Hopkinson to herself, " and particularly in the present age, when polite gallantry to females is so much gone out of fashion." then fell into a reverie, which her friend interpreted into an inclination to doze, and accordingly took her lenve, with a promise of returning in the evening. No sooner was her back lurned, how ever, than the invalid called the nurse to her, and after giving sundry directions as to costume intimated that she had an intention of trying (o sit up a bit. So

she was dressed and washed and bolstered

up in a chair, and having put on a clean cap, she inquired of her attendant, lather anxiously, if she was not dreadfully altered and pulled down, and how she looked. To which the nurse answered " except looking a littlo delicate, she whs really charming."

Tn the evening the doctor repeated his visit, and so did Miss Filby, who could not help rallying tlie invalid on the sud den recovery of her complexion. " It's only hectic," said Miss Hop.kin son, " the exertion of dressing has given me a colour."

"And somebody else will have a colour too," said the nurse, winking at AJiss Filby, " when I tell him how very much some folks aro improved."

" liy-the 03'," said Ur. Eoreham, " its only fair that prople should know their well wishers; and I ought to to tell you therefore, that the gentleman overhead is very friendly and frequent in his en quiries. We generally meet on the stairs

and I assure you he expresses very great solicitude—very much so indeed !" Miss Hopkinson gave a short husky cough, and the nurse and Miss Filby nodded significantly at each other. " Ho! ho ! the wind sits in that quar ter, does it p" said the doctor. " I may expect, then, to have another patient. 'He grew sick as she grew well,' as the old song says," and, chuckling at the aptness of his own quotation, the medici ner took his leave. fl "There he is again, I declare, exclaimed the nurse, who had listened as she closed the door. "He has cotched the doctor on the stairs, and I'll warrant he'll have the whole particulars before he let's him go.'* " Very devoted, indeed!" said Miss Filby. "We must make haste, and gel you about again, my dear, for his poor sake as well as your own." At this junction Mrs. Huckins, the landlady, entered the room to ask after her lodger, and was not a little bewildered by a cross-fire of inuendoes from the nurse and the visitor. The strange behaviour of the sick lady herself helped besides to disconcert the worthy wo man, across whose mind a suspicion glanced that the nasty laudanum, or some thing, had made the patient a little off her head. However, Mrs. Huckias got through her compliments and her curtesys, and would finally {perhaps have tittered too, but that her attention was suddenly diverted by that most awful of intrusions, a troublesome child in a sick room.

" Why Billy, you little plague—why, Billy, what do you do inhere? Where have you come from, sir?—l've been looking for you this half hour." " I've been up with Mr. Tweedy, the new lodger," said Billy, standing very erect, and speaking rather proudly. " We've been n-playing the flute." "The what!" cried all the female voices in a breath.

" A-plying the flute, repeated the un daunted Billy. " Mr. Tweedy only whis pers a toon into it now, but he says he'll play out loud as soon as ever the old" — here Billy looked at the invalid, and then at his mother—"he says he'll play out loud as soon as ever Miss Hopkinson, is well, or else dead!" #•#■•"#

" Pray how did you leave Miss Hopkin son, ma'am," inquired Mr. Tweedy, about an hour afterwards, of a female whom he met at the foot of the stairs.

" Miss Hopkinson, sir! oh, you horrid wicked wretch ! you unfeeling monster !" —and totally forgetting the weak nerves of her friend, the indignant Miss Filby rushed past the New Lodger, darted along the passage, let herself out, and slammed the street-door behind her with a bang, that shook Miss Hopkinson in her chair.
