LAST NIGHT'S FIRE.
Fire broke out yesterday avering, shortly before seven o'clock, on a staircase fo the back of a building only two doors away from the scene of Monday morning's fire, in Queen' Road Central, It is rather strange, toray the least of it, that the occupant of No: 114, the unbornt house between the two fires, had a tile dispute with his insurance people only a few hours before, with the result that yesterday morning his policy was cancelled and his payments on it were returned to him, by mutual consent, together with a sum of $30 to cover the water-damage be wishing to increase the amount of his insurance suffered on Monday; it is said that he was and that the agents thought it not safe. So now he has been pretty nearly drowned out, and cannot recover a cent.

Nowa received at San Francisco recently from Honolulu brought by the brigantine Geneva, shows that the recent loss of the barkentine Hilo was probably due to derangement of the versel's compassed by volcanic action. When off the coast of Hawait recently, the compisses of the Geneva varied comiderably, and Capt. Nellson was at a loan to account for the phero- menon. When he beard that Kilanca was active, he came to the conclusion It was the volcanic disturbances that had affected his compasses. The N. Y. Maritima Regular in commenting on this, says that Lien Pearson of H.M.S. | Sappho, a few years ago noted the same fact. The chances are that the volcanic disturbances affected the compasses of the Hilo, so that the Captain got in shore in the fog without knowing it. When he discovered his whereabout he set bis course, but bis compasses again played him false, and his vessel went ashore.
