BRIa MERMArp BuRsT Through an extra
from the Apalachicola ga Advertiser, we
learn that on tho LIST inst, the brig Mermaid,
Capt Thayer, from New York, was burned to
the waters edge, while lying at Apalaohicola
Bay. The vessel had arrived the previous day,
and came to anchor some miles down the har-
Dor, the captain taking the passengers up to the
city in yawl At midnight, and while the
master and boats crew were yet absent, smoke
was discovered issuing from the main hatch,
which was removed, when flames burst forth
with great violence. With difficulty the mate
and five men saved the chronometer and a Dor.
tion Of their clothing. At z o'clock the next
evening, the wreck sank in ten feet water. The
brig was ten months old owned by B. Richards,
Esq, Of New York, and valued ct $40 900. She
was loaded With an assorted cargo, the value Of
which is estimated 1T from Ss75 900 to $50 600.

To FARMERs.-The attention of our farmers is
requested to the advertisement of PAINE AL
DR1cH, in this paper, of his noble Attorney Bull.
OF his value, and of the benefits to be expected
from him to the stock in this vicinity, no higher
or better evidence could be desired than the fact
that he obtained the first premium at the great
American Cattle Show, under the direction of the
National Agricultural Society," at Springfield, 0.
last fall. At this Show was exhibited the best of
the splendid imported Stock, for which Ohio and
Kentucky have become famous, incl iding Dur
hams, Herefords, Devons, and other imported
breeds That he should take the premium over
them all, proves not only his superiority as an an
imal, but the high appreciation Of this breed. For
richness of milk, and for the quality and excel.
lence of the butter made from it, no other breed
will bear any comparison with them. Mr.. Aldrich
will be happy, always, to show him and his other
Alderney stock to any one DESTROYS of seeing
them.
