FIRE IN HIGH-STREET.

V*!io«e origin is veiled in a mystery * tad with some suspicious circum •*** troke out late on Saturday •"""'i the now carriage factory *. James Mackie, near the Vie * _m* «mer of High - street. It f* to have b^n first noticed at 12.10 tffy rivfl Hughes, in passing from tho b y petec« T jj ote i corner, and Constablo Bttfim „„ duty between Victoria and *<___ streets. Each officer des "•"^Si • messeDger to give tho alarm _*y Albert-street firebell, aud himself »P° nt 2. to the scone of destruction. WW£?„ Huehes saw the flames through windows of the factory, and (U api*' d tfae gide door 3 80Cur0i j, Q | #g S to tho yard by the wicket; p&>*J aigh-Btreot. Mounting on a steam ; P^lrterear, he easily clambered in upon : _ llrsniaed iron roof of tho lean-to, j |W f ij„g through tho window at tho "^.estend, he saw the tire was raging Smsa's bench that ran across it it * the flo°r heside it where some : _>A _., The windows, so far as he ' " tt. mcertair, were fastened. The Firo ! *t ik under Superintendent Huglies, j • ffid wry promptly to the alarm, yet! ?%« time they arrived in High street, Vr' had a rlrrn hold upon tho body ! ■J? Fortunately, tho night was calm, *5L the water was laid on, the flataes S&iiy subjugated, there was evi j*ilvno resinous or oily matorial about, for *£_ 20 minutea the fire was practically 1 Coptflfn Field and his efficient Sal » Corps with their usual promptitude US early at work, and by them tho bulk Hh« vehicles upon the promises were re wed and subsequently stored in Messrs 3 Tanks anddo.'s stores, while other parts 5 the building were protected by tar «slin«. After the fire it was found that ? flooring around and about the south ~L fad been burnt through in many jJL and oxtensively charred. A han \_\_ cab, nearly finished . and valued i£l2o, had been completely destroyed. tfben Mr Mackie arrived from his residence •»\)ten Road, it was ascertained that he ILwbolly uninsured, and subsequent in wdwtion leads him to eßtimate bis less at gh. less than £ 1,000. At tho last jjck-taktoir, he valued his plant and goods !r£H:OO. The premises were erected about Ijearago at a cost of about £1,200, to the drier of Messrs Morrin and Chambers, and tis Ims occasioned by the tire will not be mJjced at niiich less than £200. They are Kd in the South British for £800. As totteoriginofthe fire, Mr Maokie is in dlnsd to set it down to incendiarism. Ho w in the body-room until 5.30 p.m. on jttnrday, having stayed to work overtimo jloof *ith several of his workmeh. He left tha premises thoroughy secure, as smoking fU always strictly prohibited, no danger could be apprehended from that source. Vtrions circumstances impress him jith tho belief that the premises vers entered on Saturday night, the loath-west window, although secured mi Saturday, was found unfastened, and a mreif wrench or spanner, which had been ln^'was recovered outside, while the (Mugs in the painters' shop were found dis arranged, cupboards open, etc. He had re ftiined from insuring as his stock was only in process of removal to these new premises of brick, in which he felt Bafe. With the Exception of slight injury by water to Mrs Rotb's property, no other damage was ions. Mr Mackie announces in our advertising columns that the fire will not cause any in terference with his business, but orders iiill be executed as usual.

To the Editor: Sir,—Some tape* measuring huckster whose soul cannot rise ibove his yardstick has thought it a good (ting to advertise his wares in flaring red letters on the gateposts of the picturesque Mo cemetery at the North Shore. Apart from any considerations of sacrilege or (feneration, the beauty of the place should le sufficient reason for refraining from obtruding such notices and jarring the Hires of persons of any taste at all. Surely Hm trustees might interfere to prevent such indecent vandalism.—l am, &c, Himct.
