BURNING OF THE GREAT WEsTERN.-Tn-
formation reached here this morning, of the
destruction Of the Great Western. The
Clerk in communicating the fact to sMessrs.
GELsToN and Evans, the principal agents in
this city, says So" thave to inform yeu that
the Great Western took fire last evening
(Sundayl about O'Clock while lying ai tho
dock in Detroit, and in q very short time, all
her upper works were DESTROYED. Capt.
WALKER thinks, her hull is perfectly sound,
and her engine, beyond doubt, very little
damaged. After having the hull lowed down
to Huron, preparatory to refitting again, Capt.
Walker will return to Buffalo"
Nothing farther is said of the destruction.
We. however, learn from gentlemen who
came passengers in the Buffalo, that the Yves
tern had been on a trip to the upper lakes,
was returning and caught fire while crossing
lake ST. Clair. The FIRE wasearly discover
ed and soon got under. but It would seem, not
entirely quenched. After the bout had reach
ed Detroit, the smothcred fire again burst
forth. and in instant the whole vessel was
one entire sheet Of flame. The fire burned
with such rapidly that very few Of the pas
sengers secured their luggage. One gentle
man from Orleans county was much burned,
in attempting to save his valise, which con-
tanned large amount Of money. The bar
keeper was on shore, and also lost conside-
rable sum. In short, but few articles of val
ue were rescued, so furious was the coniln-
grafton.
The Great Western was q most splendid
specimen OF naval architecture, and one Of
the finest vessels ever set afloat ON the Wes-
tern waters, Her loss viii be regretted by
the community generally. She originally
cost 100000, and was owned in shares by
the agents here. Capt. w. and q few enter
prising persons ut Huron. There was no in-
surance. Ta 5,%ss
