Harking back to the top of the tower staircase we must not forget another leaden tank of a larger size than that already spoken of, which is here situated the flooring. It contains 2,800 gallons, and has the same double means of Supply as the other. It is contemplated to keep upon this tank a hand fire engine similar to those used on board ship, with 150 feet of Jiose attached^ When this is passed through the window on to the lantern every portion of the block can be commanded. The Joof ia slated. Mr Mahoney was the architect employed by the Government to furnish the design of the building. Our description will show that the confidence reposed in this gentleman has not been misplaced. The edifice both externally and internally is a credit to th# city and the colony The works ' have been carried on under the superintend ence of Mr Hurrell, the clerk of works appointed by the General Government. We must congratulate this officer on the success which has attended his efforts. The work clone possesses the merits of being sightly and substantial. There has been no shirking. Where duty has led to bringing pressure on others such pressure has been exerted in go kindly yet firm a manner that perfect obedience has been ensured. Mr Hurrell's task of inspection has been rendered easy by the conscientious I way in which Messrs Bartley and Philcox have fulfilled their contract for the building. The materials uaddtre of the very best, and none of the work can be pointed out as not having received the most careful finish, Mr Bauldock is doing the fitting fup now going on. It ia a great pity that the tower, which should let off the building, is not to be completed jtonce. We understand that Mr Clayton, the General Government architect, is now in town, and he can hardly fail to be impressed \rith the desirability of putting this crown ingfeature to the edifice. In conclusion we hear of other large Government designs under weigh. We can only hope that such I »useful man as Mr Hurrell has proved him self will not be lost sight of when the appointment of Clerk of Works ia being con ridered by those in authority, The cose of the now Post-office buildings is estimated at ibout £17,000.

REPORTED MASSACRE OF THE CREW OF THE LAPWING.

Messks Montepiore and Montefiore are in receipt of advices from Noumea, New Caledonia, reporting that the cutter Lap* wing, of Auckland, trading among the islands, had been attacked by the natives of the Island of Tafusia, one of the Spnta Cruz Group, and that the whole of the crew had been killed and the vessel destroyed by fire. The information had been received at Noumea by tho W. S. Fox. From particulars Which have been supplied by Captain Christopher, of the Bruce, it appears that the Lapwing ran short of pro visions, and with the crew the mate left her and proceeded towards the shore with the view of obtaining some, when the natives attacked the boat, killed the men in her, and then seized the vessel and murdered the master and rest of the crew, the latter being kanakas. A Tanna man managed to escape, and was picked' up jjby the Sandfly, from whom the account of the massacre was obtained. It was also Bbated that the H. M. S. Sandfly was attacked, and a smart engagement had taken place between the crew and tbe natives, with loss to the latter.—" Sydney Herald," October 23. * ,
