over £1000, and was severely damaged Vr being hurriedly removed. Mr book's, boot and shoemaker, was in \.jred for £250, while his loss is estimated at full 7 £400. Messrs Seuffert's premises in Elliott-street were on fire no less than eioht times ; but a careful watch being kept up the fire was extinguished before it spread. Messrs Cousins and Atkins report that falling flakes ignited the roof of their work shops as many°as thirty times. They ascribe the ultimate safety of the premises to the Good Templars, who brought their cold water course of treatment to bear with the most successful result. The case of Mr Broad locksmith is one of the most distressing of the lot. The old man has lost everything. He is not insured, and must now at an advanced age begin the world again. Mr Broad has been a hard-working plodding man, and it is to be hoped that some amelioration of his loss may be effected by the kindness of friends. Testimony is borne to the energy displayed by Captain Isaacs, of the Auckland Cavalry Troop, and several of the non-commissioned officers and troopers in passing up water to the bovsetops, and in otherwise assisting the firemen.' Far from the report being true tbit the different Brigades interfered with oie another, we are glad to say that the utmost cordiality and harmony characterised .heir operations throughout. To illustrate this it will he sufficient to mention that several of Mr Asher's men assisted in placing the hose of Mr Matthew's engine in position before the arrival of their own engine. A correspondent suggests that our Volunteers* should form a Fire Brigade, and the idea is a very good one, and we heartily recommend it for adoption. ' 'We hear that one of the men who fell from Burtt's verandah. broke his leg. He is boing attended to by Dr J. R. Nicholson. THE RUINS. The appearance of the'ruins to-day is very dreary. Some of the embers are still alive, and the scene is dotted with little wreaths of smoke. A very noticeable featuie is the completeness of the destruction. There is no pile of debris. The ground looks as if the houses had been re moved, and the fire had afterwards run over the sites. This morning early several men were at work ascertaining the exact boundary lines of the premises noith of Wellesley street. This was done not without some difficulty, and the frontages were marked out on the pavement. During the day a large number of visitors have sur rounded the blackened area which marks the scene of the disaster. The block extending :frpm Wellesley-street to tho Anchor hotel stood on ground belonging to the City Council. The houses were held on lease by the occupiers, and in the case of most of them £here was a period of five or six years' to run. In addition to the names of persons whose property was destroyed appearing in our fourth page should be given the following : —Two private houses in Elliott-street be longing to.Mrs Sarah McVeigh.
