In consequence of the holidays, and the inclemency of the weather, there has been very little business done as yet this week. Coal.—A shipment of 322 tons Newcastle coals arrived here on Monaay lant, consigned to Mr J. H. Vautier, who now offers them to the public at very low prices. The Picnic at Taradale, in consequence of the weather on Monday last, did not come off, to the great disappointment of a large number of people, who had intended to spend the day in that pleasant locality. The supplementary English Mail, forwarded per s.s. JUangatira on Sunday evening, would be in plenty of time for the Tararua, as that steamer did not leave Wellington until 11.15' p.m. on Monday,—the Rangatira arriving at 6.30 p.m. The. Weather, which, when we went to press on Monday, was overcast and showery, still continues very unfavorable. Strong S. and S.E. winds have prevailed, and heavy rain has fallen—indeed, we have not had more inclement weather thioughout the winter. No material change apparent this morning as we go toj press,, |

EIRE IN HASTINGS-STREET. DESTRUCTION OP THE PREMISES OF THE HAWKE'S BAY BREWING COMPANY. We have to record the total destruction by fire of the premises known as those of the Hawke's Bay Brewing Company, which, took place during last night. The flames were discovered about midnight issuing from the rear of the premises; and a strong southerly wind prevailing at the time, the entire block of buildings were quickly burnt to the ground. No account whatever can be given of the probable origin of the fire. Fortunately, owing to the detached position of the Brewing establishment, no other property was damaged.
