[Received May 4,1.50 p.m.]
Melbourne, This day,
Arrived : Manapouri, from the Bluff.
A fire broke out last night about midnight in the store-room of the ship Leicester Castle, lying at Sandridge. It was fortunately soon discovered and suppressed.
The Melbourne and Sydney Chambers of Commerce have united, with a view of urging the Postal Conference at Sydney to reduce the rates on telegrams.
Sydnet, This day
The Postal Conference is now sitting here. It is probable that in addition to the question of joining the Postal Union, the Conference will consider intercolonial postal and telegraph rates and charges on cablegrams to England.
