A Blob DESTROYED BY FIRE.—COWES, DEC. 20.
The &AMA& brig Porto Maurizio, Captain Baseline, 178
term, of sad for Genoa from Newcastle, with a cargo of gam
coals, suddenly took fire this morning at about two o'clock,
whilst riding Wore two snobs,. is Yarmouth Roads, when
A. had brought up same days previourly for safely. The
captain, a little before two o'cMA awoke nearly suffocated
amidst a donee smoke, which had 'been gradually filling the
cabin sad its bertha, when he with the utmost speed tamed
oat in order to examine from whence it originated. A few
Instants later he observed NUM imuing from several .pots
neer him. He then without delay gave the alum I. the
crew, who with the exception of one man on the watch
were all below fast asleep. They all quickly rushed on deck
sad aft, when, on further examination. it was found that the
cargo had ignited. Meanwhile the flame had gained way
through the deck, and some people belonging to the oomt-
guarell stationed at Yarmouth, who bad espied the fire from
shore, pushed off„ and gutting on bond lent their swift:ince
in the endeavour to scuttle the vessel, slipped her chains,
ran her on shore and with the crew were instrument.' in
laving some sells end rope. The ire during the first few
hours remained meetly confined to the Airport of the brig,
end it was not long before the mainmast was burning over
the side together with the lower topmost and odor rigging
attached, all in a Ness, bet without *wring a single indi-
vidual. Tho scuttling tithe brig, however, appears to have
been only very superfidAy attended to, for in its results it
remained without effect. With nearly high water ill at
once she floated off the ground, drifted into the ntid-elmanel,
sad from thence on the lot of the flood, a considerable dia-
toms to the eastward. Whilst thus abandoned she was
Olken in tow by several fiekingramecke, which were hovering
in her vicinity, andby them put an shore off Sorley, NW=
one mile in a westerly direction from the Black Buoy,
marking Leap Bank, wires she at peeseat lige, one man of
flames coveting fore and aft, a boning wreck, with bulwarks,
stanchions and deck destroyed, sad male and foremast gone.

tion of the enemy, and oar want of Amphora:wand meamorthe
