DUNEDIN.

This day. A large five has occurred in George-street, at the new Octagon. Shortly after five o'clock the lire broke out on the premises of Mr George, photographer, and had gained considerably on the building before the firebell rang, the watchman having left the tower. The flames spread to the premises of Mr Robson, tailor, on the one side, and to Mr Gilchrist's on the other side.

Carroll's hotel, at the corner, was saved by the brigade ; but it was completely gutted.

The fire crossed the street, and laid hold of the premises of Mr Coventry, tinsmith. The premises of Mrs Algie, registry-office-

keeper, were only partly saved. The following are the insurances: —Victoria Insurance Company, £750 ; Royal, £450 ; New Zealand, £1000. A large amount of the latter was on Can-oil's building, which still stands.

No cause is assigned for the fire.

The following notice of Inverell is abbreviated from the Sydney Empire, and is interesting in relation to the new town of Inverell, which is built on the Macin tyre .River, and is distant 130 miles from Grafton and 380 miles from Sydney. It is the centre of a large and wealthy agricultural country, and as most of your readers know before this, is destined to become the centre of a mineral district, the wealth of which, if an opinion is to be arrived at from present appearances, is certain to be permanent and greater as the development of the mines is carried on. After leaving Bundarra, which is about twenty one from Inverell, one notices a great change in the country through which the coach passes. From rugged hills and marshy ground there is a change to magnificent plains, in some places heavily timbered, but in most parts open and quite suitable for cultivation, and capable of bearing splendid crops of wheat and other agricultural produce. The town of Inverell may be said to have been founded about twenty years ago by an energetic Scotchman, Mr. Colin Ross, who established a store there, notwith standing some opposition from the pastoral occupants around. The town was, some time afterwards, proclaimed, but did not mate great progress till the tin discoveries a few months since gave a great impetus to the place. Inverell, as now laid out, occupies a large area of land, and appears to occupy a healthy situation. It is built on the northern bank of the river, with a height of forty feet or more above the ordinary level of the water. The main street, which is called Byron street, is not at present very attractive in appearance, as it contains two large ponds, and has a very rugged and muddy surface from one end to the other, but the Municipal Coun cil, which seems endowed with unanimity and'energy, is quickly fillingup these ponds, and effecting other necessary improve ments, so that in a very short space of time the appearance of the town will be to a great extent much improved. With the exception of Newcastle and West Maitland, Inverell is the most bustling business-like place that I have passed through in the northern districts, and the inhabitants, from what I have seen of them, are active and intelligent, and for these qualities there is room for their exercise,
