DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Outbreak at Ponsonby,

Two destructive fires occurred last night, in each instance the loss of property being considerable. The tirst outbreak occurred in Wood-street, Ponsonby. Shortly after seven o'clock the fire-bells in the city and numerous church and school-bell* rang out on alarm, and not without good reason, Looking in the direction of Wo.d-street, an unoccupied house belonging to Mr Jabez Thoman, grocer, was observed to be in flames. The firo had good hold of the front portion of the dwell iog, and the roof was all ablaze. Several rosidents in the vicinity were on the scene at an early stage, but owing to the scarcity of water but little or no effec tive work could bo done towards saving the burning cottage. The fences were pulled down and other inflammable material removed to prevent the fire spread ing, and then all attention was turned to the adjoining house, occupied by Mr Mac indoe. Tho Fire Brigade, under Mr Superintendent Bughcs, and the Salvage Corps, headed by Captain Field, were speedily in attendance. The hand pumps were act at work, aud the bucket brigade worked most energetically. By these efforts tbc fire was confined to Thomas' cottage, whioh was totally desttoyed, whilo Macm doe's premises only suffered a slight scorch ing, as probably also did some of the fire men who sat on the roof and poured water over the Bhingles, which seemed very warm work. The occupiers of adjoining properties did good service in preventing tho possible spread of of ttto fire by keeping their trees and fencing constantly wet with water by small hose and other conveyances. The polico were woll represented, and were use ful m keeping in order a great crowd which collected in the street The origin of the fire is said to bo the result of an accident. Mr Thomas, we are informed, yesterday afternoon let the unoccupied house next to his own, and another party was under treaty for the second. The doors and windows of the latter requited «ome repairs preparatory to the reception of a new tenant, and early in the evening Mr Thomas and a neighbour were engaged in the necessary work. Tbey used a keroiene lamp to obtain light, and it was placed on the mantel• pice«. A screwdriver, it appeats, was under the lamp, and while attempting to drnw it away Mr Ihomas capsized tho latter. The oil caught fire and spread over the paper. The two men tried to put out the firo, but could not succeed, owing to tho abience of water. The building burned is insured in the South British for £160, and Mr Macindoe's houso, Which was Blightly damaged, for £100 in the same office.

Five Stops Destroyed in Kyber Pass.

Loss: £2,500.

ONB of the most disastrous conflagrations ' that has visited this city for »ome time past occurred this morning at three o'clock, the buildings destroyed being the fine new. block oi shops recently ereoted at the corner of Symonds-atreet for Mr G. P. Pierce, manager of the New Zealand Inaursnce Company. Thero were five shops in the block- all handsome, well finished, two Btorey buildings. No. 1, at the Symondi-street corner, and in which the Fire Originated, was occupied by Mrßeid.cabinet maker; No. 2 was unoccupied ; No. 3, Mr Burns, hard ware dealer ; mo. 4, unoccupied; No. 6, Mrs Boyle, fruiterer. Mi Reid, the leasae of the corner shop, proceeded to Te Awamutu on business yesterday, and did not expect to return until Saturday. He left tho pre mites Ul charge of Alfred King, a young man in his employ. King was out until one o'clock this morning, when he found all safe. Being desirous of glueing a joint, bo that it would be cold and hard in the morning, he lighted a firo in the kitchen, which, both men being bachelors, waa also used as a workshop. A Quantity of Shavings were scattered about tho floor, and these he used to kindle the fire, After finishing ths joint and seeing the firo, aa he thought, all safe, ho retired to his bed-room in the upper atoroy, and was soon fast asleep. At about throe o'clock, however, he waa aroused from his slumbers by a slight sensation jof suffocation, and he immedi ately discovered the room to be full of smoke. Hastily donning his trousers and coat, he ruthed to tho s»airo»se, bat found that mode of egress In Flames from top to bottom. Seeing that the fire had made so much headway, he did not wait to save anything, but got out of his bedroom window on to the verandah, and rushing past the un occupied shops aroused Mr Bum's family. The fire had by this timo burst through the roof and a column of flame, slightly fanned by a breeze from the north, shot skyward, and informed those awake in town tbat a great fire waa raging. Several firebells almoat immediately clanged out the alarm. In an incredibly ahort time tbe Fire Brigade, under Mr Superintendent Hughes, the Salvage Corps, under its newly.elected captain, Mr Field, and several members of the Police Force, under Sergeant-Major Pardy, were speedily on the scene, There was a large concourse of people, but thoae who were not inclined to form com ponent parts of the bucket brigades left a clear space for tho workars. A t the arrival of the firemen the fire had spread aleng the roof of fully three-fourths of the block, and it was at once seen that there was no hope of saving tbe building still intact. There was plenty of wator in the »ymond-street main, but ne pressure, the level being almoat the same aa that of the reservoir. When tested, the water d'd not rise more than two feet above the crown of the road way. The hydraßt waa, however, fixed, the water being discharged into a bucket, and from which it was

Throum on the Fire by the manual engine. The latter was effi ciently, worked by members of the Auck land Naval Brigade, who, despite the scorching heat, stuck to their posts man iully. A liberal supply of water for the buckets was obtained from the horse-trough in front of the Edinburgh Castle Hotel. At this time, viz., about 3.30, Mr Gilfillan's residence in Kyber Pasa, two cottages in in Symond-s treet, and the Queen's Head Hotel, kept by Mr Brimblecombe, were in imminent danger. Mr Gilfillan had tho Whole of his furnituro removed to a place of safety, and Acting-Detective . tratheam posted persons in the rooms of the hotel facing the fire with inslructioas to pull down the curtains, etc., should the windows crack with the heat. The flames spread tapidly along a fence in Symonds street, but being speedily extinguished, all dangor at that end was over. Mrs Boyle's fruit shop was now a mass of fire, some of the stock and fur niture being saved, however. By, great exertions, and ths constant application of wet blankets to the roof, Mr Gilfillan's house was saved, though the grounds sus. tamed considerable damage. The fire did not extend beyond Boyle's, and in an hour nothing remained at the stately block of buildings but ajheap of smouldering cinders and three tall chimneys. Ono of these the brigade demolished before quitting thq scene. During the progress of the fire two ) loud explosions of gas took place. Mr Brimblecombe is a Heavy Loser, as, besides the damage done to his hotel, he loses £50 worth of miscellaneous goods which he had stored in Reid's shop, and which was not covered by a penny of in surance. 'Ihe Insurances. The insurances are : Mr Pierce, £1,700 on the buildings iv thq New Zealand (£3OO of which isre-inanred in the National). Mr Reid, on stock, tools, etc., £100 in the New Zealand, and Boyle and Burns £150 each in the Standard on furniture, etc. Ihe losses to the Insurance Companies thus are :— New Zealand £1,500 National ... ... ... 300 Standard .. 200 Total .'. ... £2,100 In connection with this fire we wonld bring two matters under tho notice of the local bodies ioterested, viz., the advisa bility of extending the Electric Fire Alarm system to Upper Symonds street and other outlying localities; and also the immediate necessity of considering the means for providing an effective water supply for the thickly-populated suburbs on the southern boundary of the city. The present service meets the domestic wants of the residents 'of Upper Symonds-street and tbat ' vicinity, bat, as pioved by the fife this morning, it is useless aa a preventative^ fire. It has been suggested that the most efficient,

and likewise the cheapest,method ot attain- | ing this object would be by erecting a con- | crete reservoir on the summit of Mount i Eden. The suggestion is, we consider, well woitby the attention of the local bodies interested, ,

The Egyptian Settlement.

Our despatches this afternoon give satin* factory accounts of the progress of the British operations for the pacification of Egypt, There is a brief announcement tbat Sal-hieh has surrendered to our troops, and as this is a town of 6000 inhabitant*, situ ated near the Pelusiac arm of the Nile, which empties Its waters into tbc Mediter ranean at Damietta, it is evident that the British advance on the lattor town la so far unopposed. It is indeed reported tbat the commander of the rebels at Damietta has made overtures of surrender, 80 that the oe.upn.tiou will doubtless be effected without bloodshed, An important announcement is made of the aid of the Ulemas, or heads of the Mabommedan religion in Egypt being secured in the work of allaying the wild fanaticism which has boon aroused by recent events. This should very much assist in the work of pacification, Diplo matically viewed, the outlook in Egyot is not so promising. There are sigis of a revival of French interest in the settle ment of affairs, and Italy is reported to have withdrawn from the joint protectorate of tho Suez Canal on Britain undei taking toguaranteeits safety. Turkey meanwhile maintains an attitude of sullen obstinacy, and refutes to give aay sign of her intentions with regard to Egypt until the British policy fs declared. The importance attached to the Egyptian cam paign in England, ana thegreat relief felt at its favourable termination, is manifested afresh by ths fact that Sabbath first has been set apart as a day of special rejoicing for victory. The news that the English Government have made a stipulation that nose ot the rebel leaders shall be executed without Biitish co-sent wonld indicate that our interest in the internal affairs of Egypt ia to continue active, and is by no means to cease with the quelling of the rebellion, and this belief is strengthened by the further intelligence that Lord Dufl'eriu has intimated to the Porte that Britain now cenaiders the proposed Anglo-Turkish Conventiou unnecessary. This amounts to an abandonment of the propoaal, and it remains to be seen how such an announcement will affact the attitude of Turkey.

Sydney versus Canterbury.

CfIKISTCiiUItCfI, this afternoon. Play commenced at Lancaster Park CricKet Ground at three o'clock thia after noon. The weather was beautiful; the attendance was large, bydney, playing with the wind, kicked oft. Canter bury played splendidly for the first few minutes, taking the ball well into Sydney's quarters, but Sydney then warmed up while Canterbury became loose, and, after ten minutes !play, Raper secured a touch-down, from which Thallon kicked a goal for Sydney. This put Canterbury on their mettle, and the forwards made several good rushes, resulting in Sydney being forced down. Watchman, Herman, and Milton, among Canterbury men, distinguished them selves, Bayliss and Walker made some splendid runs for Kyuney. Canterbury carried the ball nearly up to the Sydney goal. Sydney then made a determined rush; Thallon got hold of the ball and ran clean through tbe Canter bury baoks securing a try, which he failed to convert into a goal. During ten minutes Canterbury forwards played up splendidly. Anderson, on one' occasion, getting within a few inches of Sydney's goal Hue, and Lee coon after got across the Sydney goal line, but unfortu nately dropped tha ball, and a force-down resulted. Sydney then worked the ball down to Canterbury's 25 yards, and kept it there till the cud of the spell without scoring.
