THE GRASS FIRE IN LYTTELTON.
The inhabitants of Dam pier's Bay were ! kept in a state of the greatest alarm last i night owing to the fire continually breaking - out in various places, and endangering their . dwellings. It was not until after midnight that all alarm was allayed. We learn that the . fire extended over the bill and continued its devastation down to the valley. The inhabi- . tants last night had to turn out in a body and beat out the fire, or their bouses would have been burnt down.
