-RR ON BOARD TEE SEA BELLE.

BRISTOL; SATURDAY MORNING.
This morning, about 1 o'clock, a fire broke out on
1°,(1 the American ship:Sea Belle, 900 tons register,
ling is the Floating Harbour, near Hill and Sons'
7 dock. The Sea Belle came to repair damages,
s„
"ltained in one of the gales of last month while
131ItWard bound for New York, from Cardiff, with
tlat 18, upwards of 1,000 tons of which have been dis-
tgarged since her stay here, and about 300 tons
‘,43:llaining in her hold. The origin of the fire is
.'4l.ously attributed to spontaneous combustion,
Zdt to have proceeded from the galley. Water had
trifling
and effect in staying the conflagration,
the shipwrights set to work to scuttle her.
At
.10 o'clock, however, she was still burning
Btiriously,;with no chance of the fire being subdued.
