The telegraph informs us of the loss of
another New York steamer at sea by fire. The
steamship Manhattan arrived at Charleston
yesterday morning, having on board Captain
West and part of the crew and passengers of
the steamship Andalusia, from New York, for
that port, which was burned at sea- off HATTIE
ras on Sunday evening. The fire originated
forward of the boiler.

Charleston James McMillen, Third Assistant
Engineer; Frank Dougherty and Antoine Mar
tin, seamen; Jacob Lucknow, New York, pilot;
Michael Griffin, porter; Hugh Farmer, stoher;
and four gentlemen passengers, names not
ascertained, became missing and are supposed
to be lost. The Andalusia and cargo are
total loss.
The intelligence of the loss of the steamer
Andalusia while on her voyage to Charleston,
S. c., includes the announcement that the
hose carriage intended as present from the
New York firemen to the Columbia firemen

beautifully painted, polished, and decorated.
