the night OF the 18th inst. She had SOC
bales Of cotton on board, all Of which-wss
destroyed. The dispatch states further,
that three negroes lost their lives by the
fire. The Montgomery left Mobile on
her up trip for Tuscaloosa on, we believe,
Friday, the 18th inst, and was on her
return trip when destroyed, She was a
superior boat, OF good speed and first
| class accommodations, aud under com
mand of an experienced river captain,
with good officers, who were all highly
popular on the river. Nothing is known
Of the origin of the fire. Capt. ]. II.
Stone was in command of the Montgom-
cry, Capt. +. P. Oliver was clerk, and
John Bartee was in the pil0thonse. The
Montgomery was an independent boat
and not connected with the Trade com

the Montgomery in Mobile.

The Fletcher is a fine and complete
passenger packet, and Is just suited for
the trade. Our best wishes for the sue
cess of her new owners.
Capt. Ben. B. KOunZ has chartered the
light draft packet Lady Grace, and will
leave on Tuesday next for Jefferson d.

The steamer VIM. Butler has been
chartered by the owners Of the FTolic,
and will run her in connection with that

sixteenths of the same steamer, from
Messrs. W. J. Lewis, +. Ross Powell,
James O'Neal and SOusley. Capt Bailey

The fact that2l vessels, containing Co.
