WELLINGTON.
This day.
, A fire broke out last night in J. and H. Barber's boiling-down, works and slaughter yards at Ngahauranga, which, along with the plant, was completely destroyed. Nothing but the boilers are left standing, and it was with great difficulty that Tyer's fellmongery was saved. The origin is unknown, but it is supposed that a spark was blown out from the fire under one of the vats. The premises were insured in the National and South British, but the amounts are not yet known.
Sailed: Crownthorpe, -barque, for London.
The following tenders were received for the conveyance of 69582 sleepers from the Xopu wharf, Thames, to Auckland. Accepted—Burton and Onyon, Shortland, £781. Declined—M. Vaughan, Thames, £791; M. Niccol, Auckland, £835 j Stone Bros., Auckland, £904.
