HEAVY FLOOD IN MELBOURNE AND LOSS OF LIFE.

One of the inconveniences of tho Mel bourne surface drainage system, in which the whole city sewage flows along open gutters, are illustrated in tho following telegram -.— Meliiourkk, Novembor 9. The various al fresco entertainments • organised for tho Prince of Wales's Birthday were considerably marred by o thunder storm which broko over tho metropolis at half-past 3 o'clock this afternoon. 'I he rain fell for some time heavily, and in the evening Elizabeth-stroot and Swanston-streot wore in a high state of flood. A girl named Marian Angoll, returning from a Sunday school picnic at Kow, was carriod from tho flooded streot into n creek loading into tho Yarra, and was drownod. Several casualties woro reported this ovening from this sovoro flood in Melbourne.

DARGAVILLE.

Banquot to Hon. E. Mltcholeon, M.H.R,

Osb of the most important gatherings yet held here was tho compllmontary banquet to Mr Mitcholson (member for tho district), on Thursday evening Inst. One hundred and three gontlomen from all parts of the district were present. Tho largo dining pi ■ room in Ralph's Hotel was gaily decorated lor tho occasion. Ono or two bonfires and a very brilliant display of fireworks lent animation to the township just as tho ban quet commencod. Dr. Norton, J.P., pro aided, with the guest of the evening on his right, and Mr Dargaville, M.H.R,, on his left. The Vice-Choir was occupied by Mr Matthews, of Brown, Campbell, and Co. After the usual loyal toasts tho Vice- Chairman proposed "Tho Gonoral As ■' sombly, coupleet with tho nnmo of Mr Dar gavillo, M.H.R." . . ,_, Mr Dakoayillk, who was received with cheers, said:—" I had thought tho General Assembly of Now Zealand was almost for gotten in this part of (ho country. Certainly there has been little reason for this district heretofore to think high !y of it. Annual, or rather perennial taxation and triennial elections have beon tho only re minders we have had of its existence. No I:■•■' doubt, however, tho toast was-placed Kg on tho programme by the Committee out of gratitude for favours to como. Well, let us hope on—'Hope springs eternal in the human breast,' and assuredly now, if ever, we may foirlv expect some return for our patient endurance. Although there are all shades of politics represented in the House, and very bitter political antagonisms at times, it is wrong to suppose that a member s life in Wellington is one of constant wrangling. The worst politioal enemies are often friendly enough personally. Mr Mitcholson is popular with both sides of the House. Indeed, I think he could count two personal friends on tho Opposition for every one on his own side. Members have a good deal of pleasure during the session, besides receiving tho two hundred guineas. There is a gorgeous banqueting hall called Bel lamy's, whore the most delicate viands and i the choicest wines are supplied at first cost, and well-trained servants in livery are there to obey one's orders. ;. There is a magnificent library stocked with the most valuable books. There is a lofty comder or lobby lighted by electrioity and luxuriantly furnished. There ore hot and cold baths In the building. The telegraph In the next room places you In communica tion with tho whole world, and the tele phono with all Wellington. Then, outade the; precincts, there toe tho frequent sumptuous dinners and gay balls at tho houiea of great people. I venture to say that our esteemed K»est of this evening m enjoys his session-time fairly, well. Cer tainly, when he first went down he knew nothing about tb.o BW\.» J lftw" tennis. Now I .will back him against I ; anyone on the Woiroa. It i« bunkum to pretend that there w nothing but hard work and late hours for memborsduring. the session. Ewtheans. tero Native Minister and the unco quid member lot Auckland North may, at times, be found on the tennis-court unstarching themselves by means of that admirable. game. For myself, I feel that my constitu feC ents placo me under the greatest obligation % • by sending me there, and I hope they will ■ long continue to do so. (Cheers.) »§ Dr. Norton proposed, "Our_ guest; E. H Mitchelson, Esq." He traced the history of Mr Mitchelson from his first start in the district, and referred to the way he had always preserved the esteem and good ' Wkhea of his early friends Mr Mitchelson 1 had now reached the top of the ladder, or at least, as high up as any one need wish to go, and he heartily congratulated him on his success. As member for the district, he had in two short years dope more for them than all the members they had.eyer sent in before. Mr Mitchelson, responding, said:—i»el your kindness so deeply that Im«rt.M. to sufficiently express my bwtfej'*J*ft! for this flattering reception. I see here the faces of so many friends whom I have known in the district for long years past, I SXhave como to do mo this honour, that I feol proud indeed of it. It is an 1 Bur of itself to represent such a district m Marsden in Parliament, and I now am to have the graver responsibility of the W officio! a Muiiater of the Grown placed «po_ my "boulders. But do apt lo.mW hU expectations on that accowt, you mSst remember that I shall 4<m belong more to the colony than to.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN SYDNEY.

Damages Estimated at Twenty

Thousand Founds.

Shortly after 10 o'clock on Saturday night, the 10th inst., Sydney was thrown into a state of intenso excitement through the breaking out of an extensive and most disastrous firo in the Chinese quarters in Lower George-street. Tho firo originated on tho promises of a Chinaman named Sun Kum On, an importer of Chinese morchandise, carrying on businoss at No. 148, Lowor Georgu-streot. Within a quarter of an hour after the alarm of tho outbreak, the steam firo engines wero playing powerful streams of water on tho tire, Five minutes later on, tlio roof of Sun Kum On's promises foil in with a frightful crash, caus ing the sparks, smoko, and a tremen dous volume of flamo to riso with mighty effect, and, as it wore, to lteht up the heavens with a lurid glare, 'llio intensity of tho hoat for somo considerable distanco around was almost unbearable, whilst the smoko and Hying debris was little short of suffocating. The dovouring olemont seemed now at its height, and commenced to spread vory rapidly, first laying hold of tho shop of a cabinet-maker named Sun Hung Loong, whoso front pre mises are situated at No. 9, Pitt-street, to which thoroughfare thoy havo a two-story elovation. Owing to tho highly inHani mnblo nature of the stock and contents of Sun Hung Loong's shop, which contained a quantity of timber, tea-chests, and deal boxes, an impotus was given to tho Haines, which scomod to spread, notwithstanding tho oxortions of tho various fire brigades, tho members of which worked vigourously the whole of tho timo. Messrs Dynon and Son's wholeßalo crockery warehouse, situated on tho southern side of theChinaman'a shop, was the next establish ment to fall a prey to thp firo, Tho flames oxtended to tho windows of tho Coffeo Palaco, which were destroyed. Tho walls of tho building also suffered from the intenso heat. On tho north side tho principal portion of tho promises lotoly occupied by Messrs Mitchell *nd Co., ship chandlers, was destroyod. By this time the firo appeared to be pretty well undor tho control of tho firemen. About 11 o'clock a largo quantity of opium bocamo ignited, and caused a most obomin able stench, sufficiently strong to forco tho crowd back somo distanco from the placo. By 1 o'clock the firo was got fairly under' but tho steam firo-ongincs wore kopt playing upon tho smouldering ruins until. < o'clock on Sunday morning. The building occupied by Sun Kum On is said to bo the property of Mr Isaac Joseph son, of Macquarie-street, and was insured in tho Australian Mutual Insurance Com pany's Office for £1,500; the contents of tho building were insured in the New Zealand In surance Company's Office forif 1,000, and in tho London Provincial Insurance Company's Office for £1,000, The contents of the Coffeo Palace wore only slightly damaged, and were Insured in the National of Now Zealand, and also the Now Zoaland Com pany's Offico, but for what amount is not at present known. It is roughly estimated that upwards of £20,000 worth of damage has been done, including buildings and stock. _____________

SUPPOSED DROWNING.

In a recent issue wo mentioned that two gum-diggers named Sydney W. Webb and John Morgan were supposed to have been drowned at Northern Wairoa on Tuesday last. Further particulars which have been received by Superintendent Thomson are to the following effect:—The men left Aratapu in a small keel boat on the day in question, bound for Scarrott's gum fields, about eight miles down the river. They had a sail on the boat when passing Whakahara. The wind was very strong and puffy at the time. Several persons, including Constable Scott, went down to Tikinui in the afternoon, but saw nothing of tho boat. When the Minnie Casey went up the river in the evening, her passengers said they saw a boat with a red bottom capsized, She was on shore about fifteen miles down the river, nnd appeared to have a mast in her. Inquiries revealed the fact that tho bottom of the missing boat was also painted rod. There is but little doubt that "Webb and Morgan have beon drowned.

To the 'Editor: Sir, —Surely it is time that something should be done to the path leading to the Railway Station. In some places the mud is nearly ovor your boots, and what makes It worse is, handcarts are allowed to use It as a road. This morning, for instance, I hadjto stand aside until three handcarts had passed by. Surely somo stops can bo takon to keep tho handcarts in thoir proper place.—Yours, Ac., D.G.S.

Mucffarlano (tho trustee) has filed tho following roport :— " Tho debtor was a cablnetmnicor at tho corner of Symonds-stroot nnd Kybor Pass. Tho block in which his shop was situated was burnt to the ground, and ho lost on that occasion about £90.
