DUNEDIN. 4th December.
This morning the reservoirs are practically dry, and great inconvenience is experienced for want of water. Steps are being taken to turn some of the Water of Leith about Royse's mill. The settling on the races was satisfactory last night. £580 was paid in prizes. A fire broke out at T. Burt's leaden pipe factory early this morning. The steam engine, hydraulic engine, and lead pipe making machine, just imported, were destroyed. Insurance, £3000. The South British had no lien on the fire yesterday, as reported.
