At a meeting of the School Committees, held last evening, it was resolved that there should be no public distribution of prizes this year. The chairman (Mr. Woodward) reported to the meeting that his Excellency the Governor had signified his readiness to preside at the presentation next year, but regretted that bis absence' from Wellington, coupled with his want of knowledge of our educational system, rendered him unable to do so this year. Under these circumstances it was deemed desirable that each committee should arrange for the presentation of their own prizes. A very general feeling is prevalent amongst the sufferers by the recent fire that, considering the peculiar nature of the case, the City Council might amend the building regulations to such an extent as to permit at least temporary wooden or iron buildings being erected on the site of the disaster, until such time as they can be replaced by buildings of brick or concrete, as is required by law. A deputation from the Manners-street Wesleyau congregation waited upon the Mayor yesterday upon this subject, but while receiving every sympathy from his Worship, the members were informed by the Mayor that he had no power to grant their request, a hope however being held out that the matter would be considered by the Council.: Similar replies were given to the proprietors of the Royal Oak and Nag’s Head Hotels, who waited upon his Worship with the same object in view. We learn that a petition to the Council upon the subject is being got up by the sufferers by the fire. We understand that the president and trustees of the Working Men’s Club had an interview yesterday with Messrs. Nathan and Capper, trustees in' the estate of Messrs. Eddie and Jack, with regard to obtaining suitable temporary premises for the Club ; but nothing definite was arrived at. There will be further negotiations on the same subject this afternoon. The Club held a lease of the premises, which have so unfortunately been burnt down, from Messrs. Eddie and Jack for a period of seven years, twelve months of which have about expired ; but there was a clause in the lease, by which the' owners of the property were bound to provide suitable temporary premises for the Club in case of fire or other accident, until such time, as a new building was again erected, the time not to exceed three months. So far as we are able to ascertain, the trustees and committee have ho wish whatever to take any advantage of the owners on account of the calamity which has laid their premises in ruins, and are quite willing to meet the trustees in. a fair and just spirit. The members can hardly expect—indeed, it would be moat unreasonable to, do so—to be in such comfortable premises as those previously occupied, for, at all events, sonie three or four months ; and if we mistake not, the majority will he quite willing to put up with a little inconvenience, provided that the premises to be occupied temporarily are, anything at all satisfactory. We trust to see an amicable arrangement come to between the trustees and the committee, and one which will do justice to both sides alike.

There would appear to he a kind of fire epidemic raging just now. Scarcely had the last sparks Irom the burning embers of our own dreadful conflagration been put out, when news came of other fires, both in Dunedin and Christchurch. ' At half-past 3 o’clock yesterday morning, the-electric bell rang at bur office, and soon after the information was received that a terrible; fire was raging in Dunedin ; that the Athemeum block wonH probably be swept away and . that the. As., would amount to something like £120,000. After a time,,'however,, the. news' got softened down, and we were tpld that.the flames .were confined to 1 the Athenseuiu alone, and , that the loss would only be. about:’ £12,000.'' Still later news showed that the losses were hot even so large, and that the greater portion of the library had escaped, only a lot of the, trashy description of novels-having been burnt It is now probabje that a few thousand pounds will recoup the institution' for the loss sustained—which will prove pleasing intelligence to all those who are aware what a valuable library the Dunedin Athenaeum was possessed of. At the meeting of the Philosophical Society on Saturday evening, Dr. Hector exhibited several very interesting ores, two of which he considered special mention in connection with efforts that the Government is at present making to encourage the manufacture of iron in the colony. Both the ores were discovered by Mr. A. McKay, of the Geological Department, during the progress of the survey in the past year. One is a brown hematite containing 54 per cent, of metallic iron, which occurs in a bed 50ft. thick, but is reported to expand in places to several hundred feet. It is associated with crystalline limestone at the base of the carboniferous formation, and extends for many miles through the western ranges, towards the source of the Takaka River. ■ The specimens obthihed'were from the surface, and deeper down it moat probably passes into red hematite, a much richer ore that contains 70 per cent, of metal. " - This is no doubt the continuation of the . 13a, me band of iron ore that reaches the sea at Para-Para. The other form of ore was discovered at Jenkiu’s coal mine, close to the town of Nelson, and is spathic ore or carbonate of iron containing 40 per cent, of metal in a form of combination that is very favorable for smelting; being in consequence one of the most valuable description of iron ores known. It was not found in situ as the workings are abandoned, bnt.it has been thrown out with the clclris from the coal pit in considerable quantity, its valuable qualities having hitherto escaped notice. The theory that the Imperial Opera House caught fire through the super-heating of the iron gas-pipe cenneoted with the star, appears upon closer study to be hardly so rational a one as was at first considered. The star itself was at least six feet from the roof, and the pipe passed from it clear through the roof. This pipe was surrounded at the roof by sand, felt, water, &c., a patent arrangement, designed to prevent such a contingency as fire being communicated to the roof by super-heating of the pipes. Another explanation as to the origin of the fire has been advanced, and this is that it may have been caused by some of the men who were in the Opera House smoking, and carelessly throwing lighted matches away, thus causing the drapery to ignite. The fire would then ascend by means of the hangings to the roof, where it took firm hold before being noticed. The inquest to be held to-morrow wall, however, probably throw some light upon the matter.

An important notification from the Local Exhibition Committee appears in our advertising columns, Mr. Grant, who has lately arrived from the Paris'Exhibition, will attend every day, from ten to twelve o'clock, for the purpose of assisting intending exhibitors, and affording every information required. This evening a public meeting of Wesleyan friends and sympathisers will be held in the Arcade. They have sustained a severe loss in the destruction by fire of their fine church in Manners-street, with the . school-room behind, and a meeting is called to consider what is to be done to raise funds for the purpose of re-building. As general sympathy is felt in the city for the Wesleyan body under their present trying circumstances, we expect to hear of the successful inauguration of a movement to replace the church that has been destroyed. The Princess Hotel, at Palmerston, which was advertised for some ‘ time for sale in our columns by Mr. G. M. Snelson, auctioneer, was not disposed of, -as but few buyers were present, and the highest bid was only £3OOO, or £SOO under the reserve price. It is stated that an offer has been made privately for the property by a hotelkeeper living on the. West Coast of the Middle Island.

An inquest into, the origin of the late disastrous fire will be held to-morrow, at eleven o’clock, at the New Zealander Hotel, before Lr. .Johnston, coroner, and a jury.

The telegraph line between Wellington and Auckland was working very badly all day yesterday, and up to the time of our going to press this morning. The principal cause has been the sudden change in the weather, with the strong gales which hare accompanied it. The Supreme Court was over-crowded with meetings of creditors yesterday. All through the Court House, the jurors’ room, and the barristers’ robing room, were all occupied, yet it is stated that some of the meetings had to be postponed until previous meetings dispersed.

The hon. member for the West Coast is at last afflicted with an idea. In his speech to his constituents at Kumara last week Mr. Barff announced the following startling schemes ;—He thought that a State Bank should be established in the colony, as the profits of the Banks at the present day amounted to a large sum, and if that revenue were paid into the Treasury it would partly reduce taxation. It would be better for the Government to take this matter boldly in hand, for if such a Bank was in existence the miners would get a fair price for their gold. He intended moving in this matter next session if it was not taken up by the Government.

We regret to find by some late telegrams received last evening that Mr. William Hoskins, the veteran actor, has leea unfortunate enough to be in the way of the fire. It is pretty well known that he has been acting as manager at the Imperial Opera House for Messrs. Hiscocks, Hayman, and Co., and as he went to Christchurch last week, it was thought that he, at all events, would not have had to endure any losses. We now learn, however-, that a fire occurred at his house in Tuam-street, Christchurch, by which he lost his valuable wardrobe and books. His furniturne was insured for £3OO ; but furniture is easily replaced, whereas it is almost impossible to compensate him for the loss of what has been the accumulation of thirty or forty years, during which period “ Old Bill,” as he is familiarly known to a lot of colonials, has been before the public in the capacity of manager and actor. We tender to him our sincere sympathy, and we feel sure that a good many of readers does as well.

The amusing comedy of “ Minerva, or that Mother-in-Law of Mine' ’ was repeated at the Theatre Royal last night. Considering the wretched night there was a fair audience. Tonight “ Bose Michel” is announced as the bill of fare.

The Hon. H. S. Littelton has resigned his position as Private Secretary to his Excellency, and the Rev. 0. B. Massey Thompson, lately chaplain on board of H.M.S. Wolverine, is likely to be appointed to the position. Statistics have been published showing the good results of the prohibition of public houses on the Moonta mines, South Australia. Although there is a very large population there scarcely any drunkenness exists. The Palmerston cemetery is in a disgraceful state, according to the local journal, which suggests that a “ working bee ” should be held to put it in something like order. A similar gathering took place at the Roman Catholic cemetery hero a few years ago, with very good results. Sir William Eox delivered a lecture last week at Palmerston in aid of the parsonage of All Saints Church of England. The subject was the highly interesting one of “ Experiences in America,” and though the night was bitterly cold, there was a large attendance. The Temperance Hotel at Palmerston, which is kept by the widow of the late E. J, Wakefield, had a. narrow escape last week, through the explosion of a kerosene lamp, which resulted in setting the floor matting on fire. The alarm having been quickly given, the flames were soon extinguished, although at one time the affair looked rather serious.

Mr. E. Brightwell has a little grey .mare, which, for purposes of protection, is equal to a Colt’s revolver, or a bull-and-terrier. A few days ago (says the Manawatu Times) the owner was holding an animated conversation with an excited stranger, towards the conclusion of which the pedestrian indulged in some artistic motions, and as a prelude to posing himself for “ye manly art,” stripped off his coat. Having accomplished that preparatory, he proceeded to attack his opponent in the rear, but before be had time to strike a blow, the grey came to the rescue, and by a well-directed kick, placed the pugilist The battle was over in one round, the cries of lamentation from the wounded gladiator being more boisterous than were the threats of vengeance a few moments before.

. The usual weekly meeting of the Wellington Literary Association was held last evening, when there was a good attendance notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. The evening was 'devoted to elocution,’ several of the members giving recitations and readings. Next Tuesday an essay on “ The uses of Literary Associations” will be read. A sitting of the Bankruptcy Court was held yesterday afternoon at the Supreme Court, his Honor Mr. Justice Richmond, who returned from Blenheim by the s.s. Napier on Monday night, presiding. The deeds were declared to be completely executed in the cases of T. J. Mountain, grocer; James Follas, grocer ; and Alexander Dimant, auctioneer, each of Wellington. We are glad to learn that the Kina has been got off the bar at Foxton without the least damage, and without having to get rid of any of her cargo. She took her berth alongside the Foxton wharf at three o’clock yesterday afternoon.

The Justices of the Peace who help in disposing of the police business have been accommodated with a more comfortable place wherein to dispense justice. Yesterday they sat for the first time at the Athenseum Hall, and the place so graphically described as the “ cupboard” will not be again used for a similar purpose.

Complimentary letters have been received by both the Central and Wellington Volunteer Fire Brigades from Mr. W. H. Levin, chairman of the Fire Underwriters’ Association, with accompanying cheques for £SO. The IS aval Brigade and the Salvage Corps in connection with the Fire Police have also received their share of praise, and cheques for £25 as well. The rewards are richly merited, because, although the organisation of the brigades was not as perfect as we could wish, and although at times the want of a supreme commander, with an authority over all the brigades, was very apparent, yet few persons will be found in the community who will attempt to deny that the members of the brigades worked patiently, and at times with a desperate courage almost amounting to heroism, to subdue the fierce flames which at one time threatened to lay waste the greater portion of Te Aro. A consignment of 1000 cases of kerosene oil, branded “ light of the age,” received by W. M. Bannatyne and Co., per ship Isaac Hall, was yesterday tested by Mr. Johnston, inspector—the result being satisfactory. Mr. Johnston is also testing two other large lots.

The notice of motion which Councillor Diver has given for discussion at the meeting of the City Council to-marrow night is as follows ; “ That immediate steps be taken for procuring a steam floating fire engine and a steam land fire engine for the use of the city and neighborhood,”

The many friends of Mr. George Hyland, who has for years past been engaged as chief steward of various large steam boats on the New Zealand coast, and who has filled that capacity recently on board the s.s. Rotorua, will be glad to learn that he has purchased the Post Office Hotel (opposite the Post Office), where he intends to carry on business in such a manner as to merit a fair share of public patronage.

The usual weekly drill of the Naval Brigade was held at the Arcade yesterday evening, and was fairly attended. The ordinary course of drill was gone through very creditably.

Constable Laurie arrested a man named William Sinclair for stealing a coat from Mr. Hill’s boarding-house. In our advertising columns Mr. Walter Helyer, stonemason, sincerely thanks the firemen and others who assisted to save his premises during the recent fire, and also to those who helped him to remove bis goods on that occasion,

The Southland News says that 120 bushels per acre is the yield of oats —as shown by the result of the threshing—from a field owned by Mr. John Bisaett, adjoining the one in which the trial of reapers and binders was recently held. They were of the Banish variety, and were put in following turnips and potatoes. The paddock in which the reaper centest was held—after grass—yielded 68 bushels to the acre of the same kind of oat. Such returns demonstrate the quality of Southland’s soil, and show that the district round Wallacetown is in no way inferior in point of fertility to the celebrated New River Flat.

Councillor Wilson in the Christchurch City Council moved a resolution that the owners or agents of the land in front of the Theatre, the Criterion Hotel, and at the end of the Palace Hotel should eradicate from the land in question a poisonous herb known us conuni nit delation nr hemlock, which is growing there, and which from its resemblance to parsley, has caused the death of many people who have used it in cookery in England. The motion (says the Lyttelton Times) called up historical recollections to Councillor Lezard’s mind, and he informed his colleagues that hemlock was a favorite poison amongst the ancients, and that Socrates died by it. It is almost needless to say this “ clinched ” the matter, and the motion was carried without further discussion.

Judgment was given by the House of Lords recently in an appeal from a decision of the Scottish Court of Session, holding that trustees were personally liable to the full extent of their means as contributories of the City of Glasgow Bank as if they had been holders of stock in their own right, although they had only accepted the transfer as trustees of a deceased proprietor. The trustees contended that they were only liable to the extent of the trust estate which they had to administer, and were not, as ordinary shareholders would be, liable to the full extent of their joint personal estate. Their lordships, however, unanimously dismissed the appeal with costs, thus affirming the judgment of the Court of Session which had held the trustees to be personalty liable.

“ Everybody has heard of the Shenandoah, the notorious privateer of the Southerners in the Amercan civil war, but I do not suppose that many (-ays ‘Atlas’ in the World) know what was the ultimate fate of the ship when the war ended. Of all places in the world, she now lies ‘ fathoms deep ’ off the island of Socotra, in the Arabian Gulf. Her story is a strange one. She was busy burning whalers in Behring Straits, .when Waddell, her commander, the ‘ mildest-mannered man who ever scuttled a ship or cut a throat,’ heard of the collapse of the South. His occupation being gone, and being without home and harbor to which he durst with safety return, he ran the Shenandoah to Liverpool, and immediately surrendered her to H.M.S. Donegal in the Mersey. She was handed over to the American Consul, and afterwards bought at auction by Nieol Fleming and Co. —a firm that has earned a notoriety in connection with the failure of the City of Glasgow Bank —for the Sultan of Zanzibar. After remaining idly at Zanzibar tor some years, she was sent to Bombay for repairs, but foundered off Socotra, all hands being lost except one Englishman and a few Lascars.”

During the late Russo-Turkish war no .fewer than 20,000,000 rations of condensed forage were, we learn from a lately published statement, consumed by the Russian armies in the field. This condensed food was supplied in the form of flat cakes or biscuits, weighing 41b. each, and strung together by a string passing through a hole in the centre of each. During the passage of the Balkans and the subsequent advance into the neighborhood of Constantinople, all the horses of the cavalry and artillery of the Russian Guard were fed entirely upon this condensed forage for twenty-six days, and remained up to the end of that period in excellent condition, although hard-worked and exposed to exceedingly inclement weather. Not only are these cakes far more portable than ordinary forage, but they also possess the immense advantage of not being damaged by exposure to any kind of weather, while they are easily digested by the horses.

Another trial of Mr. T. O. Burt's method for disposing of sewage was made last week (says the Otago Daily Times) with very satisfactory results. The experiment was made in the presence of the Hon. Mr. Maoandrew and Mr. W. N. Blair, the resident engineer for the Middle Island. By means of a model apparatus Mr. Burt proceeded to demonstrate the efficiency of his scheme. Two gallons of sewage, taken from the St. Andrew-street sewer, was placed in one of the tanks, and was in a short time completely deodorised. The' liquid portion was then, in another tank, thoroughly clarified. Both the Hon. Mr. Macaudraw and Mr. Blair expressed themselves highly satisfied with the success of the experiment. One great advantage claimed for this process is that the deodorised matter is an excellent manure, and that its sale would materially reduce the cost of the disposal of the sewage of the city if this plan were adopted. The following story appears in the Uitenhage Times, which states it was obtained from a Zulu some time ago :—“ Some years since a missionary went to the King's kraal with a view of converting him and his people to Christianity. He stayed there a few days, and the king agreed to hear him on the following Sunday. The Sunday arrived, the king gathered his people together, and also called up two of his finest regiments to hear what message had been brought to him from the white men. The missionary, being told t.bat they were ready to listen to him, rose and delivered an elegant but short sermon, in which be set forth the beauties of heaven as compared with the torments of the dark regions. He told them if they lived a good life, did not steal, always spoke the truth, and, above all, kept only one wife, they would after death go to the happy huntinggrounds, where they would never miss their game, where they would never die, but be for ever and ever far happier than they were ever in their happiest moments down here ; whereas, on the other hand, if they lived a bad life, and did what he had just told them they ought not to do, they would be cast into a tremendous fire, so large that it would scorch up the whole of the Zulu nation, though they were as numerous as locusts, in a lew moments. The chief and people paid great attention to all the missionary said, and when he had finished the king asked him to dine with him. He accepted the invitation but during the dinner noticed the people rushing about in all directions collecting wood, which they were piling up in one spot. The missionary began to feel queer ; he thought it looked ominous ; and the Zulu who told the story said he noticed he did not eat any more, but continued to take large draughts of milk, as if to cool himself. At length the dinner was over, but, before rising, the King turned sharply round to the now affrighted missionary and said, ‘ What was that you said this morning about putting the great Zulu people in a great fire after they were dead ? Come this way, and I will show you what the Zulus are ; you don’t know them, I can see.’ He took him to the pile of wood, which had by this time reached tremendous proportions—as big as a Bay store, the Zulu said—and had it set fire to all round. When it was properly in a blaze, and gave out so much heat that no one could come near it, the King summoned the two regiment* who had listened to the sermon, and ordered them to charge into the burning pile and extinguish it. Naked as they were, without shoes or any covering at all, they rushed into the burning mass like madmen, raving and yelling, and did not stop till hardly a vestige of the fire remained. The King then said to the missionary, ‘You have seeu that. That is what we will do with your hell. The Zulus won’t play with your fires, and you had better clear out of this country at once, or I will have a “little fire” made for you to put out.’ The missionary took the hint, and left the kraal the same evening. Is it any wonder, ask people, after this, that Gatling guns and rocket batteries have no terror for the Zulus ?—and it is certain they have none. The Zulus, when ordered to attack, attack ; and, though they may be mown down by thousands, still come on, until they conquer or die. It is a tradition among them, which Lord Chelmsford would do well to take into consideration in his future movements in Zululand.”

A serious accident occurred recently to Lord Hardwioke, Master of the Royal buckhounds, during a ride with the pack from Horton. Lord Hardwicke, while leaping a stile, was thrown heavily from his horse to the ground, and much bruised about the face. It is feared that he has received au injury to the spine. He was removed in a cab to the Staines Junction, and Mr. Wilson, stationmaster, telegraphed immediately to Windsor for a special train, which arrived shortly afterwards, and in this, at 2.47, Lord Hardwicke was conveyed to Waterloo station, whence he was driven to his town residence. The men on strike in the Durham coal district have increased in number to. thirty thousand. Disturbances are reported. There was serious rioting in several colliery villages on Tuesday night. In one place there was an encounter with the police, and a house was wrecked. Both the constables and miners sustained more or less serious injuries A large force of police has been sent from Durham to the scenes of the disturbances. In the House of Lords on the evening of the 4th April the Earl of Shaftesbury moved that instructions might be given to the Viceroy of India to consider the passing of a law to regulate the factory labor in that country. Lord Cranbrook assured the House that the consideration of the protection of women and children would continue to be enforced upon the Indian Government. After a short debate the motion was withdrawn.

The Napier Daily Telegraph says:—“A systematic 'attempt has been made by maliciously disposed persons to introduce the rabbit oq the local sheep-stations aud their efforts have been to a certain extent successful. It is not to be wondered at that some of the gentlemen at the meeting were inclined to be sceptical when this statement was made ; but one after another of the speakers was able to testify to having found * ear-marked rabbits’ on his property —a discovery, to say the least, somewhat puzzling in the absence of an explanation. Some of our local sheepfarraers, however, are in possession of positive information which may yet be used to the discomfort of the miscreants who have already placed themselves under liability to the very mild and inadequate penalty of six mouths’ imprisonment with hard labor under the Ranbit Acts of 1576 and 1877. One of the ‘ ring,' lately, in a fit of drunken garrulity, confided to a local sheepfarmer that he ‘ expected to make £2OO a year out of him soon,’ and, on being asked in what manner, replied that it would be for destroying rabbits. It was replied that Hawke’s Bay was safe for some years from the rabbit invasion, when he intimated that active measures were already in progress to introduce the enemy ; and, proud of the opportunity of imparting a little exclusive information, he very readily disclosed the whole modus opcrandi. The rabbits were forwarded by an agent in the Wairarapa district to Kopua by coach, and from thence by rail to Hastings, where they were received by the person who has charge of their distribution. This latter process had b?eu carried out in a very judicious and impartial manner, the animals being turned loose in the spots most favorable to their natural increase.”

The correspondent of the Cape Standard and Mail, writing from Durban ou March 18, says : —“The noble army of martyrs, I mean special correspondents, has been much increased. Up to very recently I was alone in my glory, now we have Mr. McKenzie, come to join Captain Norris Newman for the London Standard ; Mr. Sfc. Leger, of your town, for the Cape Times , than whom I know no better man, and who will doubtless prove himself a good chronicler ; Mr. Melton Prior, for the Illustrated ; Mr. Tripp for the Graphic ; and several other minor stars. Mr. McKenzie has been attached to Colonel Wood’s column. Mr. Melton Prior goes through to Ekowe. I also hear that there is a probability of Archibald Forbes’ arrival for the Daily News , aud a man for the Times.

The select committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the subject of the lighting of towns by means of electricity, and to which the Liverpool Lighting Bill was referred, has determined to go into the general question, settle the principle, and then leave the thirty-four private Bills which ask for powers to light by electricity to be dealt with by the regular committees of the House of Commons. The inquiry was to commence on March 31. As the evidence will be lengthy, and the committee will probably report late in the session, it is expected that no powers will be granted this session for lighting by electricity. The Dunedin Star says ;—“ The case in the District Court —Maurice Tundut v. the South British Fire and Marine Insurance Company —revealed a rather remarkable development of native industry probably unknown to most residents in the provincial district. The action, with the merits of which we have no concern, was to recover the value of certain casks of wine destroyed in the late fire, and concerning which wine the plaintiff, with admirable simplicity, gave the following remarkable evidence : —‘ The wine was the balance of a quantity the plaintiff had made three years ago at Tokomairiro, and was manufactured from black currants, Spanish and sultana raisins, with a mixture of brandy and sugar. Altogether about fifty-three or fifty-four casks had been manufactured, and were brought to Dunedin, where he insured thirty-eight quartercasks of the wine for six months in the South British. By selling to different hotelkeepers the amount was reduced to fourteen casks—on which the present insurance was. The price at which the wine was sold was 10s. a gallon.' It would be interesting to know under what designation this precious decoction was vended, and who are the * different hotelkeepers' who purchased casks of the same for the delectation of their customers.” Mr. George Thomas will hold a sale ot oranges at his store, at twelve o’clock this day. Horticulturists and floriculturists will And some interest in attending Messrs. Laery and Campbell's sale tills afternoon at two o’clock. ■ A sale of imparted furniture will be held by Mr. Sidey, at the Arcade, at II o’c'ock to-day. We direct the attention of our readers to Mr. J. H. Wallace's sale this day of that extensive warehouse lately erected by Mr. F. C. Kreeft, aad also of a valuable freehold situate at Porirua. To-morrow an opportunity will bo offered express drivers and others of obtaining staunch horses, well broken in to harness. T. Kennedy Macdonald and Co., as will be seen from another column, hold an important sale of horses, drays, and express waggons in Guilford's horse repository. Manners-street, at 2 o'clock.
