BANK OF NEW ZEALAND.

FUETHER FALL IN SHARES.

[special.]

London, October 30.

The failure of the Bank of New Zea land to pay a dividend for last half year has caused a fall in the shares and also in the shares of other colonial banks. Bank of New Zealand shares have had a further fall of M, and are now quoted The shares of the Bank of Australia, the Bank of New South Wales, and the Union Bank-Uso fell £i ; and the shares of the English and Scottish Bank fell 10s,

The " Financial News-" accuses the Bank of New Zealand of having ar rested the speculations of a small group of log-rollers and political gamblers. Among the companies stated to have been assisted by the Bank the " News'' mentions the New Zealand Land and Mortgage Co., the Loan and Mercantile Agency, the Auckland Agricultural So ciety, the Manawatu Railway Co,, the Waikato Land Co., and the New Zea land Shipping Co.

The " News " further states that the suspension of the payment of a dividend by the Bank of New Zealand forebodes a day of reckoning. New Zealand had contrived to defer meeting this day for the present time.

It had been a spendthrift colony; but had now reached the end of its profligate borrowing, and will find it advisable to employ new methods of managing its finances, and new men to control its political affairs.

FIRE AT A MUSIC HALL

London, October 30,

A fire broke out at the Canterbury Music Hall during a performance. There wero 4,000 persons in tho building, bub forbu nately they all loft quietly, and no casual ties occurred.

FIRES.

OUTBBEAK AT LAMB'S MILL.

About ton minutes past 2 o'clock this morn ing, a fire was discovered in an incipient stage in the engine room of Mr John Lamb's Mill, Fort-street, by Constabl 0 Donovan. Tho constable promptly entered the building and found some pieces of loose boards which werelying on the floor near tho fireplace of the engine. These wore burn ing, and tho end of an old temporary partition which is used for tho purpose of keeping the coal from scaling was also on tire. Constables Donovan and Sheehan, assisted by Messrs Watts (night watchman on tho Wharf) and Green (night watch man at the railway), speedily extin guished the lire with a few buckets of water before much damage was done. The fire ceeins to have originated from hot ashes falling on the boards when the lire was drawn out. This theory is strength ened from the fact that ashes were visible on the coal and on tho floor.

Fire at Sims and Brown's Yard.

When Mr Sims (of bhe firm of Sims and Brown, boab-builders, Cusboms-street) arrived ab his yards this morning about 7 o'clock, he was informed that bhe office ab bhe back of his workshop was discovered on fire lasb nighb, by some persons who were passing. Forbunabely, very little damage was done. An examination showed that some shavings by the wall of the house had been on fire, and partly burned some of the weather-boards. Apparently the fire was the resulb ot a match carelessly bhrown down eibher by ono of bhe men or some of the boys who go to bhe yards to gather chips. The workshop and office are insured in the New Zealand for £100. The fire was pub out by a fisherman named Kenny, and another man named Henrich son. Had nob bhe lire been extinguished, Messrs Sims and Brown would have been losers. Fire at Razor back. A range of buildings consisting of bake house, a 4 sballed stable and cbafi'room, bhe properby of Mr Campbell, sborekeeper, Razorback was burned to the ground on Thursday morning last under circumstances which points to it as clearly tho work of malicious hands.

The fire originated at the partition which separated the bakehouse from the stable, and spread both ways with fearful rapidiby. There was no candle lighted in either place on that night, and there was no wood in the oven as there would be no baking on Thursday.

The loss to the baker is about £40, and to Mr Campbell senior about £100, the build ings being nearly new, none of which was covered with insurance.

The fire was firsb observed by Mrs Camp bell between 12-30 and 1 a.m., who wakened Mr Campbell, then ran to pub up bhe baker, her son, bub all that could be done was to save the store and dwelling-house.

The police are inquiring inbo bhe mabber, and ib will be well if bhey can succeed in ferrebing oub bhe miscreanb or. miscreants. Of course, the fire will stop bhe supply of bread for a few days.

Fire at Mount Roskill Road.

THREE HOUSES DESTROYED. About 2 o'clock this morning, three houses, two of which had shops attached, and situated on the Mount Roskill Road ab Rocky Nook, were destroyed by fire. The fire broke "out in the shop and house at the corner of Charles-street, which were occupied by Mr Alexander Reynell as a grocery establishment. The fire started at two o'clock and was first seen by Miss Armstrong, who lived nexb door. She was in bed at the time and was awakened by the glare of the fire on the window of the house. She gob up and upon looking oubside noticed that the centre of the roof of Mr Reynell's house was on fire. She at once called her mother. and afterward went outside and roused the neighbours. When she returned Reynell's house was all in flames, and was burnt to the ground before any assistance could arrive. .'lf. then spread.-to Mrs Arm strong's ... residence which consisted. of Bovon rooms. The greater part of the

furniture was removed to a place of safety, but the house was totally destroyed. Mrs Armstrong estimates her loss at about £90 as she was uninsured. The an^ s next spread to the premises of Mr Fitch, draper, which adjoined Mrs Armstrong's. He was awakened by Mrs Armstrong crying out ' tire. Upon G-oiiif outside he found that the shop and house occupied by Mr Reynoll were burned down, and the next bouse was just catching. He considers that any attempt to save the places would have been without avail as there was no water in the district. He turned his attention to saving his property and succeeded so well that practically nothing was lost This is very fortunate as Mr Fitch was totally uninsured, and values his stock and effects at £600. He, however, sus tained a severe loss in the shape of a diamond ring which he states was worth £140. Of course tho stone as diamonds are not injured by heat. Insurances. Mr Reynells premises consisted of 7 rooms and a shop, and were the pro perty of Mr Nellio of Papakura. Mr Reynells total insurance was only £100 in tho North British Mercantile Company. Mrs Armstrong owned the house she occupied and had it insured for £325 in tho New Zealand Office. She valued the house at £400. It was a seven roomed house. Mr Fitch's promiaos consisted of six rooms and a front shop and were insured for £300. But for the strenuous endeavours of the neighbours the house of Mr Braith waite might also have been destroyed. Constable Kelly was present at the lire and made exhaustive enquiries. So far the origin of the fire remains a mystery.

CHKISTOHUKCK, this day.

At 1.40 p.m. yesterday, a house ab Kniglitown, belonging to George Dickin son, occupied by W. J. Culver, was burned down. The building was insured for £100 in the Union Office, and tho furniture, which was all destroyed, was insured for £100 in the Standard Office and £25 in tho Colonial Office.

SUDDEN DEATH AT PANMURE.

Mr Thos. Cawkwei,-, an old and highly esteemed settler, and one of tho longest residents ab Panmurc, died very suddenly in that village on Saturday afternoon. He had been engaged all day with his ordinary farm duties, and was apparently in good health. In the afternoon he was engaged in unharnessing a horse, when he sud denly fell to tho ground, and expired a few minutes later. In tho meantime a messago had been despatched to Otahuhu for Dr. Bews. Tho cause of death is supposed to bo heart disease, from which complaint tho deceased had suffered for some time past.' Ab tho time of the un fortunate occurrence Mrs Cawkwell was absent ab Remuera, whither she had gone to visit her brobher Mr John \Vallace,who was then at tho pointof death. Mr Wallace died ab 1 o'clock, and as may well be imagined Mrs Cawkwell received a severe shock to her already overtaxed feeling when on returning homo she found her husband dead. The lato Mr Cawkwell was a nativo of Yorkshire, and was born in 1817. Ho arrived in New Zealand, in the ship Mandarin, in 1843, and immediately com menced farming operations at WesbTamaki, ab firsb in partnership wibh Mr VV. I. Taylor, and afberwards on his own account. Ho was highly respected on account of his sterling honesty and integrity. He leaves a widow and twolve children.

OPENING OF THE BOWING SEASON.

The weather on Saturday proved almost too bad for the Rowing Association to open the season with tho customary procession of boats. However, all tho clubs turned up in their whaleboats, and the Ponsonby and Auckland Naval cutters also appeared. The following Clubs were represented :— North Shore, Waitemata, St. George's, City, Ponsonby, 2 whaleboats each, nnd tho West End, one. They all mustered off the Railway Wharf, and formed in single file led by the Auckland navals, Ponsonby navals second, and the clubs in the order of the seniority. From the Railway Wharf they proceeded, in single tile, up as far as the hulk Neptune, and after rounding her formed all abreast and rowed to the Railway Wharf; this was repeated again when approaching tho Queen street Wharf. In the return all the crews started racing, and had a spurt as far as bhe Railway Wharf, where bhey dispersed. Men abtempbing bo bring their string tests over to take parb in the opening of the North Shore Rowing Club had one of them smashed, the back being completely broken, while two others were swamped.

ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE.

"OLIVER TWIST."

There was an excellent house on Saturday night to witness the production of "01ive r Tsvisfc," a dramatisation of the immortal Dickens's celebrated work. The dramatist has done the work every justice, for it follows as closely as possible in the lines of the author. Miss Ooorgic Smithson scored a pronounced success as "Nancy Sikes," the wife of the brutal '' Bill Sikes." It is a very onerous part requiring heavy acting, and in the hands of Miss Smithson it was.v masterpiece. In the murder sceho and in pleading to her husband, the acting was very fine,' and showed the lady's wonderful versatility, No better praise can be given Miss Smithson, than that the character ap peared to have been taken right out of the work and placed upon bhe stage before our eyes. Mr J. J. Walsh, as " Fagin " bhe Jew, ■was all that could be desired, and was evi dently a carefully - sbudied character. The brutal Bill Sikes in bhe hands ot Mr Laiu-i- Dunbar was a capital concep tion. It is one of the most repulsive parts ever written, and ib was shown to the letter both in make up and acting. The murder scene where he brutally illtreats Nancy and finally kills her, was admirably played, and the audience showed their appreciation of both Miss Smithson's and Mr Dunbar's acting be according them a hearby recall. Mr Lachlan McGowan presented a good picture of the "Parochial Beadle."—-Mr Bumble, and created no end of fun and amusement. In bhe love scenes with Mrs Corney he was particularly success ful. Mr F. W. Fisher made an ex cellent "Dodger," sharing the honours of the comedy equally with Mr McGowan. Mr A. Herman did bhe parb of Mr Brown low every justice, and in the Courb scene the character of the Magistrate Fang was very well played. The rest of bhe charac ters were sustained very well by Messrs Simmonds, Melville and the remainder of the Company. Oliver Twist was well played by Miss Gertrude Es daile, and as tho simpleton while in the hands of the villains she was suc cessful. Mr_ Corney was creditably sus tained by Miss Anderson. The crowds, court scenes, and all the groupings were well managed. The scenery was mostly new, ono—London Bridge by moonlight —doing the scenic artist (Mr Pulford) every justice. The mechanical effects were all that could be desired; and to-night, as the piece is .to be repeated, we fully anti cipate a packed house. This is certainly one of the best programmes of the season, and all those desirous of two or three hours' amusement should not miss the chance.
