SAILORS REST.

firo broke out this morning, the scene on this occasion being in View lioad, off Mount Eden Road. The outbreak originated in an empty house belonging to a warderin tho Mt. Eden Gaol named Me Dell, and was first ob served by liis son. This was very shortly before three o'clock. Nothing could be done then to arrest the progress of tho ■flames nt that time, but steps were taken to give the alarm in town. Tho lire ex tended to an adjoining two • storied house, owned and occupied by Mr McDell, v third house occupied by Mr Matthews and owned by Mr Avery, and a fourth belonging to Mr Cooper, were also soon on fire, and when the Brigade arrived there was no prospect of saving any of these. Messrs Stevens, Martin and Reeds houses were in great danger, but the use of a small engine and water from Mr Peace's reservoir secured their safety, the other ijuildiiK's being soon reduced to ashes. Nearly all the furniture was: saved through tho energetic exertions of volun teers from the crowd of spectators and the Salvage Corps, Nothing vas known of tho cause of tho outbreak, but as the house in which the lire originated was an empty one, it was believed that some vagrant had taken shelter there, and hud set fire to it acciden i(:»,'Jy or otherwise. During th« course of ltlia' day, circumstances came jto the jiiiovtalge of tho policoTylileh induced them to ftrrest a man named Henry Woods. He. was locked up ostensibly on tho chargo of vagrancy, but it is reported that he is fcnown to have slept on the premises last /light, and that there arc good reasons for believing that he set tiro to the placo. Under those circumstances it is probable that he will be charged next week with jueendiarism. Insurances.

TUo insurances so far as we have been sblo to ascertain are as follow : —McDull's unoccupiud house, L2OO ; McDell'soccupied dwelling, MOO in the South British, Lut) in the samo ollice gu the furniture ; Cooper's, LlSOon the house; Stevens, L-200 in tho South British (new root and half-wall re ([uired); Martin, LSO on the furniture In Colonial (loss slight; settled for L 4),

"Whon the Taupii'j Coal-mining Coin pany{Liruited), last year proposed to extend Us operations by acquiring additional land for mining purposes, it was found that its Memorandum of Association did not pro vide the power for doing so.

The new Company agreed' to take over the old Company's assets and liabilities, giving to each of the old shareholders the tame number of shares jn the new Company which they held in the old 000 practically, therefore, tliG present Company represents the old com pany, having the same number of shares and capital, with extended powers. The new Company lias now secured the lease of the 32 acres adjoining the ground hitherto worked, which contains a large quantity of coal. The balance-sheet and profit and loss account for the .half-year euding Decombcr 31 show that, after Writing off L 163 19a Sd for depre ciation of plant, and L2OO for the acquisi tion ai the 32 acre 3 referred to abovs, s. net profit of L2,0G2 17s 9d.reinains, which £he directors rocominend to appropriate as follows;—L600 to payment of divi dend of one shilling per share, L3OO to bonus of sixpence per share, and the balance ot J. 1,162 17s 9d to bo carried forward to new account. ■ The mine and plant are in thoroughly good working order, and tho output for the half-year amounted to 18,000 tons, bef rig an increase of 4,000 tons on tho corresponding half-year of 18S2.

"Il TROVATOM!."—Tho Opera served to In troduce a now arti3t (Mr 11, Gainorl, who sustained tho important role of Count di Luna. \Ve heartily congratulate him on his success: Gifted with a high and pure' baritone Voice and excellent, stage presence and figure, he has the means to a successful professional career. The impersonation of the unusually heavy part of Count di Luna well deserved tho manifestations of pleasure it evoked. The concerted pieces of the Opera in which the prima donna, tonor, nhd himself took part wore faultlessly rendered, and not in any dtgroe mutilated by him. His success in this part is tho best guarantee Mr Gainor could have of achieving sueccss in other characters, for a heavier baritone part we do not know.—"llobart Mercury." Lucia di Lammkrmoor.—Mr Gainor, ns Sir Henry Ashfon, Bangl4s6pcn/ingn,uniher, '•' Ragp E'en to Frantic Madness," magniiiccntly. In. his duet witli Miss Montague b.pth jatisfs sang with groat eirept.—''Mclb.ournp Age.1' Oi'kka House, Sydney,—Mr Gainor played Danny Manii capitally, and sang tho musio of his part well, more particularly in tho duct •' The Moon has Raised." 110 and Mr Turner, In this number won the most enthusiastic ovi donee of success. It is worthy of remark that the purity and range of Mr Gainor's voice was unmistakably manifested by his rendering of "The Colleen Bawn," rot one of tho extraordin ary high notes of which this grand song is ootn posed being In any way evaded, but were taken by the ninger apparently with the greatest ease, —•' Sydney Daily Telegraph." MiGNON.—Mr Gainor aoqultted himself very well in tho monotonous and rather thankless part of Lothario. His opening Bong was capit ally sung, and ho bus'allied the charactor with admirable thoroughness.—" Bullarat Courier." Mr It. Gainor's magnificent voice was heard to great advantage as Danny Mann.—"Sydney Evening Nows." Mr Gainor possesses a hand some presence and a powerful, rich, and highly cultivated voice. — " Adelaide Lantern." Jlr Chas. Turner was wcjl supported by Mr R. Warwick Gainor as Danny Mann. Tlie latter was especially pleasing in tho song describing his memories of "ThoCollcon Bawn," and his resolution to carry out his dark doed. Mr Gainor completely brought down the house, but his exertions in it were too much to comply with tho repeated demands for an encore.— "Maitland Mercury." Hospital Coxckkt.—Mr B. Warwick Gainor woa the recluse, and it is needless to say he lent giant aid to the sucocss of the piece, and in dood, of the evening. Mr Gainor has been en joying a reßt for some months in Tamwo.'th, and his voice has considerably improved there by. We doubt if he ever sang better than he did on Wednesday night—more to the satisfac tion of his audience or of himself either. He was trulj in grand voice, and in the aria in the second part from " On BtiUo" he fairly eclipsed himself.—" Tamworth News." narbonr Board Notices. 4UCKLAND HARBOUR BOARD.
