IMMIGRANT STEAMER.

The " Times" states that the Govern •ment have arranged with Mr Coster, ■'Chairman of the New Zealand Shipping ; Company, to despatch a steamer from London to the colony in January, to call J& several ports, with not less than 600 "immigrants, mainly agricultural labourers. The Canterbury immigrants are receiving ready engagements. The demand for domestics is as great ever. ■ ACCIDENT AT NUGGET MINE. . By, an accident in Nugget mine, at •..., Skipper's. Thomas Cummins was killed and i, his mate seriously injured. MR MACFARLANE'S SPEECH. The " Times" of yesterday contained a >. warm article commenting ou the speech delivered by Mr J. S. Macfarlane, M.H.R., in his address to his constituents. Mr Macfarlane misrepresented the facts of the case when he said that the £50,000 voted as a loan to the local bodies in aid of repairing the bridges destroyed by the floods was paid over the morning after it was voted.' lam in a position to state positively that only £12,000 has yet been paid over, and this is not to one County but to several. The local bodies to whom this has been paid will have to spend three times their share ot the loan, and the i repayment of the latter is secured on their local revenues. THE PRINCES-STREET RESERVE. It is notcorrect, as stated by Mr Macfarlane, that Mr. Macaudrew was a party to pay the £12,000 for the Princes-street Reserve. He resisted the payment for a whole year, and it was made against his protest. The people of Auckland are not aware that there are complaints here because the otrath-Taieri railway has not been pro ceeded with. Everything had been Prepared for proceeding with the work, and he was pressed to turn the first sod, "at declined, on the ground \ that there were °Hier parts of the colony' which had a prior claim. Yet this is one of the most important railways in the Provincial ■District of Ota^o.

Fires Last Night.

Outbreak in the Theatre Build ings.

Shortly before twelve o'clock last night several boys, who were under the verandah of the Theatre Koyal, observed smoke issuing from a shop underneath the threatre, occupied by Mr Hoag, fruiterer, &c. They immediately raised an alarm and immediately a large crowd of persons assembled on_ihe scene. Previous to the arrival of the Fire Brigade, a number of e:ccited individuals attempted to break through the shutters, but Detectives Jeffrey and Grace,■who were present, see ing the folly of this course, prevented them from doiug so. The wisdom of the course adopted by the detectives became plainly apparent on the arrival of the brigade. All the doors and windows were closed, and v there was no outlet for the smoke, which filled the room in which the fire occurred, and was the principal means of keeping the flames from rising. A steady stream of water was played through the window, and in a very short time the fire was entirely extinguished. On examination subas quently it was found that the fire must have originated under the western window, which was entirely burnt out. The gas meter was kept under there, and it is believed the outbreak was caused by an escape of gas. Mr Hoag had only left the building about half-an-hour before the fire ■was discovered. The police, Salvage Corps, and Navcil Brigade were present. It is ex tremley fortunate that the fire had not obtained a firm hold before its discovery, as in that case the best block of buildings in Auckland would probably have been des troyed. Mr Hoag estimates the damage to hi* stock at more than £200. It was insured for that sum in the Manchester office. FIRE AT THE TIMBER COMPANY'S MILL. About three o'clock this morning, Constable Connelly, while on his beat in Lower Queen-street, observed a fire burn ing- under the plaining machine in the Auckland Timber Company's Mill. He immediately gave the alarm, and in a few moments Constable Dodd, George Daniels (watchman), and T. W. Connelly arrived cm. the spot. It was seen that the fire had origin ated amongst a large quantity of shavings and sawdust, and efforts were at once made to extinguish it. Mr Daniels pulled off his boot and commenced ladleing water from the tank on to the fire, and Constable Dodd followed his example, only using his hat as ladle, instead of Ms boot. Constable Connelly also threw water on it. Mean time, Mr T. Connelly, a civilian, broke the mpe connecting from the tank in such a manner as to allow the water to pour on. the fire This had the desired effect, and on the arrival of the Fire Brigade, a short time later, the flames were extinguished. One man was found sleeping among the shavings where the fire occurred, and another on top of the boiler. They were.both charged at the Police Court this morning. Ihe mill is not insured. ER About eight o'clock in the evening the beHs ran- out an alarm, and a reflection IST observed in the direction of New market The firemen mustered, at the SaS but sawihat the fire^as^^ar mmMs ;station, \y 7; :,-•■;'•/./• rim.•-.:.. j
