A fire which occurred at 4 this morning resulted in the destruction of Sheilds's Adelphi Hotel, Nessent's billiardroom and barber's shop, Mrs. Stirling's refreshment rooms, H. J.

The other insurances were unascertainable to-day. The morning was calm or the loss would have been much greater. The fire originated in one of the shops.
