Destruction by Firkofthe British Merchant. — The British Merchant was lying at Smith's wharf, loading tor London At about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning Captain Dufcbie was awoke by a crash; he immediately got up, but felt Buffocated. After getting his wife safely on the wharf, the men and officers were got up. The Washington, steamer, was brought round. Three holes were cut in the starboard side. By 4 o'clock the vessel was towed to Cremorne Point She was taken into shallow water, and additional holes were made, and she gradually settled down by the stern. As the vessel settled down a quantity of tallow, a pait of the cargo floated up. Captain Duthie and officers have lost everything, but the crew fortunately saved all their things. Captain Duthie is utterly at a loss to account for the fire, but is of opinion it originated near the mainmast, near which the paint stores are kept. The vessel was owned by Duthie and Son, Aberdeen, and only half insured. She had on board as outward cargo—hides, cocoa-nut oil, aid tallow.— Sydney Eerald."

She passed through-her voyage without sighting/ single vessel. The passengers have presented the Captain with a letter of thanks for nis kindness and attention: She brings a large and valuable cargo.— Lyttleton Times.
