, having made a minute examination of the nrtmises B ince the fire, and having found the Lams of articles of cutlery, &c, which he bad seen upon the table previously, lie thnunht the five must have originated at or Tout the foot of the staircase. He could lo no idea of the origin of the fire The nearest fire-place was six or seven feet Jroin T o foot of the s taircaso.-Mr. Hesketh then vrged that [it was utterly im- Siible that Itho fire could have ongi- Ld by accident, and proceeded to show Liq rfie evidence that it must have been the Wif an incendiary. He thought the only wiwffor tho jury to adopt was to return an ooen verdict, and leave it to the police to Sake further enquiries.-The Oorone* agreed with him, and the jury, after about half-an hour's absence, returned aud gave as verdict that " a fire occurred on the 26th of August, instant, in the Insurance Company's buildings, but that there was no evidence to show whether the said fire was accidental or other wise."

ORPHAN HOME.

A coifCEKT is to be given on Monday evening next, at the Parnell Hall, in aid o f the above institution; and those who have so nobly come forward to assist ia the good work of providing for the helpless, are a number ot gentlemen well known in vhis city, and who have banded themselves together for the express purpose of assisting in charitable objects. The selec tion is a most excellent one, and the well known qualifications of the singers and other performers, as ■well as the sympathy of the public with the end in view, will, we have no doubt, result in a proper re spond to the appeal.

EXPORT OF GOLD.

The s.s. Lord Ashley took the following shipments of gold for Sydney yesterday : 12 boxes, 14,515 ozs. 2 dwts., value £41,800, for Bank New South Wales ; 5 boxes, 8677 ozs. 15 dwts., value £27,750. Total: 17 boxes, 21,192 ozs. 17 dwts., valued at £69,550.

THE SHIP IN QUARANTINE.

The ship which was signalled early yesterday morning, and came (o an anchor off Hobson's Bay, proved to bo the Joshua Bates, a vessel of 561 tons, commanded by Captuin John Buchan Sydserff, with a crew of 4 officers and 12 seamen, and bound from Hongkong to Dunedin, with Chinese emigrants. "When the ship entered the harbour she hoisted the signal for (he Health Officer, and in the after noon Dr. Philson, who fills tlio post, proceeded on board, and proceeded, according to the' Harbour Regulations, to make various en quiries as to (he state of tho vessel. lie found that the Joshua Bates sailed from Hoagkong on the Ist June with 263 China men, and that sinr:e that date she had called at the Island of Aneiteum, in the New Hebrides, for provisions. When &he left Hongkong no infectious disease was prevalent in the place, and all the passengers were in good health. Afc Aneiteum there was no communication. The ship's papers showed no bill of health. The only disease on board the yessel herself is scurvy, and of this there were eight or ten cases. Some of the crew have had a touch of diarrhoea. Three Chinamen have died on board, and these deaths occurred within the last 10 days, and since coming into the cold weather. Three of the emigrants show symptoms of scurvy at the prp«t-nl; time, and one seaman i 3 afflicted with diarrhoea.

The Joim Bates has put into Auckland Jealfy and short of provisions. The provisions were sent off yesterday, but it is unfortunate that we have no dock accommodation.

Dr. Philson has informed us that he found the emigianls a healthy looking set of people, and that the between decks arrangements are good. The food of the people during the voyage consisted of rice and salt fish, without biscuits. A supply of litnejuicc was ou board, but the passengers refused to make uae of it. .Amongst the arrivals are t^o Chinese doctors. According to the harbour regulations, there being no infectious disease aboard, the health officer will certify to this effect, and the vessel will receive a cerlifioate of health, and be at liberty to enter the port to-day.
