Fire in Memphis Two Boats Burned.
The st. Louis Democrat of the 4th says
Intelligence was received by telegraph
from Cairo yesterday, announcing the entire
destruction by fire of the steamers May
flower and George Collier at Memphis, to-
gether with whari-boat, to which the
steamers were probably moored when the
fire occurred. The disaster took place on
Sunday morning. Up to late hour last
night the owners of the Mayhower in this
city, had received no intelligence throwing
light on the origin of the disaster, or giving
any particulars of the calamity.
The Maylower was the pride and boast
of our Western rivers. She was the most
costly, beautifully adorned and sump!uous
steamer that ever wooed the Father OF Wa
ters. The decorations of her cabin were il
the HIGHEST stvle Of art and were worthy NJ
the fine taste and cultivated execution o.
our townsman Pomarede. Her original cos
is computed at 100000 or upwards. I
ever the term "Aoating palace" was literally
applicable to 4 steamer it belonged to her
Years will probably elaspe before we shol
see her like again. She was owned as fol
lows: Capt. Joseph Brown, her comman
der, one half; Messrs. McAllister s. Co.
one-rourth; and Messrs. Gaty, McCune s
Co., one fourth. She was insured for $50,
600, as follow: In Pittsburgh for S25,OOO
Cincinnati $4,000, and in this city for $50,
GOO.
The George Collier was an older boat
worth, probably, from $25,00O to $4,000
and supposed to be insured in Louisville.
The MayAower commenced her trips
from St. Louis to New Orleans, in Apri
last. In September she was placed in tn
Memphis and New Orleans trade, in whic
she has been engaged ever since.
