Loss bu Fire Of the Stc0mooot Wdtef NymR,
from Macon for Sarannah-We learn from til.
pilot of this boat colofeo man ,haI sala po".
feft Darien for Savannah on Sunday last about
Q o'clock with about 500 bales cotton on board:
That on the night Of that day, Immediately al
ter crossing ST. Catharine's Sound, the boat was
discovered to be on fire on the boiler deck, ana
in less than ten minutes after, she was IN oiaze'
She was run ashore on Mgan's Island :
All the cotton was burnt with the exception OF
about 200 bales thrown over board, $50 of which
were carried to sea, As passed down the Sound,
and picked up by Capt Deverger. We regret
to state that negro woman and her grand
child, owned by Messrs. Low, Taylor s. Co. OF
this city, have been burnt to death. They were
in the Cooks Office, and had no opportunity to
escape. The captain, crew, and the other pas
sengers with the exception of the engineer and
pilot) 30 in all, went on board the soop Jack
son, Capt Deverger, from Sunbury bound TO
this port, but not yet arrived.
We learn that there was no insurance on the
boat which was totally consumed. Most OF
the cotton, principally consigned to Messrs ).
Stone & Co was insured
The engineer, Mr.. Holland, who has since
reached this city, confirms the above, and states
that the survivors had barely time to escape
Capt. White alone saved any property-a trunk,
the rest lost every thing.-'Sardnndh Geor.
The Pirate Talcen.-Welear from Capt Rus
SELL arrived at Salem from the South Seas, that
a British sloop of war left Ascension about the
first of December, for Sierra Leone, having on
board four of the crew of the piratical vessel
that robbed the brig Mexico, of Salem, some
time since, on her passage to the East Indies,
captured on the coast of Africa. The captain
and first and second officers Of the pirate, were
still among the negroes and vessel OF war
was in search Of them. One of the four men
taken had turned Kings evidence, and from
Sierra Leone would proceed to Ferdinando Pc,
to point out a spot where he stated they had blu
ried $50, 000.-N Y Conn.,
Heavy Failure at Albany.-We regret to learn,
from Albany, that Benjamin Knower, Esq. Pre-
sident of the Mechanics and Farmers Bank of
that city, has been compelled to stop payment
Mr.. X. has resigned his situation in the Bank,
and Charles E. Dudley, Esq has been appoint
ed in his place.
1t is said that Mr. Knower's failure is for mil
lion. Mr.. K. being its President, the Albany Re-
gency have, by this time, probably discovered
that there is some distress in the land.
