The barque Urica, which was on fire ut the

her from upsettiDg, which request was refused,
and he was placed ashore at Hog Island.
The shippers sert men on board for The pur-
pose of saving the cargo; but about II o'clock
yesterday, while Mr.. Sproull, agent of the nm
derwriter., and Mr.. Eppng, clerk in the house
of L. Trapman a. Co., were on board superin-
tending operations, the barque suddenly keelcd
over and sunk, those on board having narrow
escape for their lvea. Mr.. EppnR was slightly
injured. Mr.. Sproull was the last to leave the
vesse and by cutting the painter prevented the
boat from swampng Nothing of the vesssl but
her mizzen chains appears above the water, but
the agent has placed an anchor 40 rs to prevent
her slipping off into deep water.
The vessel will probably be total le.s ,nf
