AUCKLAND.

This day.

The corpse found in the Waikato Eiver near Huntley is supposed to be the body of Spiccr, who committed suicide at Cambridge 40 miles further up the river.

Advices from Mr Vesey Stewart, and other sources, by the last English mail, fully confirm the news of the TanrangaEotorua railway being successfully negotiated in London. Negotiations are now on foot with the same parties in London, for a further extension of the railway line to Opotiki, as well as to Eotorua, and with every prospect of success. The amount required will be forthcoming if the requisite concessions are granted by the Government.

The origin of the Wakefield street fire is unknown. William and Eichard Garrett reside in a dwelling house adjacent to the warehouse with their mother and sister.' For a month past carpenters and painters have been working in the factory on a night contract, making alterations to the premises, and they were so working up to half-past eleven o'clock last night. There were some shavings necessarily about the floor, but Eichard Garrett, who let the workmen out and locked up the premises, left them, to best of his belief, perfectly safe, and went to his bed in the dwelling house adjacent. About one o'clock some cabmen, who reside on the opposite side of the street, roused the family up, and on Garret, partially dressed, going outside, he saw that the fire was raging in the boot factory. The factory firebell was rung to give the alarm, but its notes were not heard at any great distance, and a man ran down to the Grey street firebell, and rang out an alarm from it. The lower storey warehouse was completely gutted, and the damage is estimated at between £2000 and £3000.

At the Supreme Court civil sessions, in the case of P. Quinn r. the Mercury Bay Sawmill Co., a claim for £1000 damages to property through, the defendants' driving logs down the Kaimaramara River, the plaintiff got a verdict for £250. The question of granting an injunction against defendants, restraining them from driving logs in future, was deferred.
