BURNING OP AN BMIGRANT VESSEL IN Till

MERV: Y. --
The Endymion, an emigrant vessel bound for
New York, with a considerable number of passengers on
board, took fire yesterday morning, while lying in the Memo,
Nowa= New Brighton and Egremont. The fire was fine
discovered in the fore hold, and resisting ail attempts at sup.
pression made by the crew and paamegen it boon spread in
every direction with great fury. Intelligence of
the fire having been oommunicated to the ahem
the fire engines and a posse of men, tanner the
oommaud of Mr. Superintendent Hewitt: were pct
on board a steam-tug, and token alongside, while °met
steam togs were employed in taking the peasengera and
their luggage ashore. Though the ship was deluged with
water from the engines, the fire had obtained such a mastery
over the inflimunande materials which formed its prey that the
flames, first berating from the fore and main hatchway'',
speedily enveloped the ship from stem to stern in their fearful
embrace. The oapt•in (Hallett) determined loran her ashore
and scuttle her, and in about half-an-honr, with the asam.
sans of the steam tugs, this operation was accomplished, the
vessel being beached on the sand between the Magazines and
New Brighton. Unfortunately, however, the tide wee fart
needing, and the scuttling was of little use, as she was son
" high and dry." About 11 a.m. the rigging caught fire,
sad the mils becoming unbent the spectacle wss at once
splendid and appalling. Al light breeze wafted the dames
from rope to rope, twit the whole rigging seemed to be onra•
posed of ropes of fire. The stays parted about noon, and
shortly afterwards the foremast went overboard,. and was
followed by other portionsof the entodiee-riegtag• The
fire was still raging when our correepondent's parcel left.
The cargo was miscellaneous and valuable. The Bodymion
was a spleedid vessel of 1,374 tons burden. She was built
in the United States, and wee owned by Meows. F. D. Sel-
lers mad Co., of Liverpool. The passenger are to be foe.
weeded cm Saturday neat by the Janes Faster, Jan. The
vessel was insured, but as to the oargo the particulars hays
not been yet ascertained.
It Is not known bow the fire originated, but it is believed
It had been smouldering for some days in the bold, and it
wee in some respects fortunate that It broke out in the now
where miaow, was at head, and not at sea.
