The ship Candahar, which lately arrived at Melbourne from London, via Falmouth, reports;—"At daylight; on Sunday, 10th January, came up to a vessel on the lee-bow, dismasted. Backed the mainyard and boarded her. She proved to be the Foundling, of Liverpool, with a cargo of what appeared to be bricks, coal, and railway material, which had evidently been on fire for some time, and was then still'burning. On her stern were the letters, The Knund , Liver , the rest of the littering being burnt out. The vessel was completely gutted, not a vestige of wood or gear remaining, even the dendeyes being burut out of the bands. The o"ly remaining spars were the mainjard, which was hanging over the side, and the bowsprit, which was rtanding. The capstans and windlass had fallen into the hold. The vessel was free from water, and drawing about 9ft.
