(by telegraph.) Napier, December 27.
A fatal fire occurred at Dennett's Albion Hotel early this morning, The hotel was discovered to be on fire, and it was posed that all the inmates were rescued, though one was so drunk that he had to be lowered by ropes, being incapable of helping himself; The fire brigade got the fire under after about LSOO worth of damage was done, one wing being gutted. The fireman, in going through the rooms, then found a man named Sniailey, a shepherd, who had just come to town. There was no knob on the handle of .the. door inside his room, and thus he could not escape. He was very little burned, evidently dying from suffocation. The insurances on the building are LSOO in the Standard, LBOO in the New Zealand ; on the furniture, .LSOO in the Union. The stock was not insured.
