The dry season has caused a rise in the price of swampy land near Invercargill. A French Ship, called the Trait d'Union, has lately sailed from Adelaide, with a cargo of wheat arid bark for Havre. It is said that the late fire at the Warren station, Oxford (Canterbury), in which 1600 sheep and about twenty miles of fencing besides the grass on the run, were destroyed, is likely to form the subject of a lawsuit. The damages have been assessed, and the owner will proceed to recover from the person who set fire to the adjoining run, from which the fire spread. The fire was, we believe, a continuation of tbat which caused 80 much damage at Eyretbn.
