FIRE IN PITI-STREET.

■ A STRONG glare in the direction of Now ton at 3.30 this morning informed the policemen on the town beats that a fire had broken ont in that vicinity. Constable Kiely rang tho bell opposite the Fire < Biixade Sta'ion, and within two minutes ( the other bella pealed out their alarms. The scone of the fire turned out to be a ' large block of buildings at the corner of Pitt and Vincent-streets, the property of Mr W. J. Offer. The block contains fivo shops, one of which is occupied by Mr Gordon as a grocery and fruit shop, and tfce other by Mr Cox aa a fancy eitablishraent. On the arrival of the Fire Brigade under Snperintendent Hughes, and tho police under Sergeant McMahon, it was found that Gordon's shop was com. t pktely at the meicy of tho flames when the tire had already begun to ignite Mr Cox's establishment. Fortunately, there was a good pressure of water, and jn a very snort space of time several well-directed streams were playing on tho fire. Gordon's thop was completely gutted, and a great amount of ■ damage done to Cox's stock, principally ' through breakages duricg removal and the ' water. The other shops in the clock weie also damaged, but not to any very consider able extent. Within tweaty minutes after be arrival of the brigade, the fire was completely subdued. The promptness and assiduity of tho firemea are worthy cf 'me highest praise. There is no reason to believe that the fire wai other tnan acci dental. Mrs Gordon, whos3 huaband is an • invalid, states that shortly after * three o'clock che was awakened by Mr * Gordon, who complained of being thirsty. Taking a kerosene lamp, aba proceeded downstairs for tho purpose of * procuring a bottle of lemonade. Tbe lamp. ' accideatly struck against some object in • the way, and exploded imnudiateJy, and in a f*w sceonds the place was in a blaze. Mre Gordon rushed upstairs and succeeded in getting her hnsband out at the ■window * on the verandah, from which he reached ■ terra firma without much difficulty. Mr Offer bri the buildings insured in the South British Insurance Company's offiice for £1,000. • • ~ • MrGordon had a policy of £150 on his •tocfe and £75 on bis furniture, and Mr ■' Cox's Stock was insured for £500.

WRIT OP IsJUNCriojr.—Mr Richmond, Jon behalf of .Nathan Harker, brlckmaker, moved for a wilt of injunction against the Harbour Board and Wm. Gccgo Bassett to restrain them i.'om continuing the trcs passes mentioned in his statement of claim until tbe tiial of his cause has taken plac?, The statement of claim sets out that in Sep tember, 1877, the Harbour Board leased Harker for a term of stfven year*, allotment 116, fronting St. Barnabas' Ko-d for the purposes of Irs busine s as a. b ickinaker, re erviog, however, all tbe rock and stone upon it; that W. J. Bassett h.-i, at various times since Octobor last, entered upon the land, brokeu down large quantities of clay and other brick-making material, and on the third injr., by means of a blait had blown up and injured a tram way and water service which tho plaintiff had for a long time past u^ed; that in consequence of these acts of Ba3sett the plaintiff (Harker) had been unable to carry on his busines since the 3rd inst., but had been compelled almost wholly to stop his works and discharge his workmen ; that ho believes Bassott's action is sanc tioned by the Harbour Board, and that he (Bassett) has contracted to letuove the material. In consequence of tlis, tho plaintiff seeks to recover £500 by way of compensation, and to obtain a writ of in* junction. . After-hearing the argument, His Honor granted an injunction, restraining tho de fendant Brssett until the case has been heard, ani allowing Mm leavo to apply to rescind, tho costs to be reserved till tho final judgment.

IN BANCO.

Re W. J, ■ O'Brien, a debtor.—Applica tion for die charge trorn bankruptcy.—Mr E. W. Burton appeared for the debtor, and applied for his discharge.—Mr S. Hosketh appeared for Mr John Lamb (a creditor) to oppose the applicatior —He did so on two grounds, viz. (1.) That the debtor gave Mr Lamb a cheque for £40 in patt payment of au old account, and at the same time got a ton of flour on credit, levanting three days later to Fiji, just as Mr Lamb ascertained that the cheque had baen dishonoured, and that ho could not recover his ton of flour; (2) That the debtor had not complied with the previsions of the Deb'ors' and Creditors' Act, inasmuch as he bad failed to file a state ment of his atretsand liabilities. His Honour held the latter objection to bo fatal, and therefore could not grant the application. The debtor would have to wait for his <?;s« charge through effiuxiou of timf. The application was consequently refused. This was all the busiuess.

Mistletoe and Eucalyptus.—The prac tice of the healing art has ever com manded the esteem o£ the rudest nations, hence it was the obvious policy of the Druids to study the prbperties of plants. Of their progress -we have no record, but we do know that the f araoui mistletoe, or" heal all," was considered a certain remedy in many dicoßJjes, an antidote to poison, end a pfeventotivo of infection. Sea-girt Eng land at that time did not possess amongst its flora any members of the eucalyptus or Blue gum family. In all likelihood if sho had.thin wonder ful fever destroying, lung bealing, health giving tree.would have ea7ed many thousands of lives. In New Zealand and Aus rallft its Virtues are un doubtod.und for the relief of bonchlal affections, lung complaints, psthmotical breathing, chroma coughs, &c., Aickin's Syrup of Eucalyptus, with Hypophosphito of lime arid Quinine, hat proved an unexampled >^m«ijr. ■'■•■■.
