Tho Vcksbnrg and New Orleans packet
steamer Cha,7',er, Capt Holmes in command,
from Vicksbnrg bound to this port, with
large number Of passengers and some 1928
bales Of cotton on board, when eight miles be-
low Deua,dsonville, on Sunday night, between
tue hours Of II and II o'clock, caught on fire
and in a few minutes burnt to the ,yater's edge,
completely destroying the boat aud most Of
the cotton, the remainder being damaged and
loatiny in the river. Several lives .Ncra lost,

Of tho disaster given by Mr. Cureu, q passen.

denco for sparing him from the awful and ter
rible death that awaited lin rs well Us the
others aboard.
The Charn.er was some two years old, and
originally built at cost Of f115,000, but uas
only insured for some <35, ,00o in one or two
Western Offices. She was principally owned
By Captz Holmes aud Wilson, the latter being

last triple again missing to witness another
terrible calamity similar to that of the explo-
sion and burning Of the steamer Princess, eotme
three years since, aud but q few miles above
whe7e the burning Of the CAaraer took place.
The most Of the cotton on the Ctarnaer was
taken aboard between Vicksburg aud Natchrz,
the greater portion being uninsured

an powers and rebels alike watch with
the greatest ayidity for an action of the

vantage by the secessionists has been
fully as great as any they have made
in the field. They have sought it in
the exchange of prisoners, in the di-
rection of letters, in the intercourse be-

of flags of truce. They have cndeay.
ored, in every way which ingenuity can
suggest, to entrap the administration

ceived communication from one of the
British Provinces, stating that The brother
Of the humble Enalishman referred 10 was
very Ill, and that if he wished to see him
before he died, or 10 send him anv
message, ne must do 70 at once At
The same time, the Consul for Richmond

seemed TO be regarded by the Consul as d
uatter OF common duty, we were much i'm,
pressed With the incident. IL was q striking
