us follows:-The quarters of the Life Boat Society here, in early days the residence of the British Consul at this post, caught fire at about one this afternoon. The fire was not put out till 3 p.m., a number of Chinese engines assisting vigorously in the work of extinguishing the fames. The wind was furtonately cast; had it been otherwice the temple of Kuan Yiu on the opposite side of the road, and the British Consular gaol close by, would both bare hoen in danger.. The Teotai and the Commissioner of Que- toras sent their engines, and some members of the outdoor staff kindly assisted in the work of stopping the conflagration.
