Burnt.

--The burning vessel passed by the ship Scargo, lat. 34, long. 69, is supposed to be the brig Cura, commanded by Capt. P. F. Peascod of Raleigh, N. C. His vessel is six weeks over due. Capt. P. went to California soon after the settlement of that country, and amassed a fortune, which he converted into gold, expecting to leave for Virginia in a day or two, when the memorable fire which occurred 6th May communicated with the hotel where his treasure was deposited, (while he was settling with his commission merchant,) and he lost everything but the clothes he had on. He again shipped as mate of a Clipper bound for Calcutta, and ever since has been in the command of vessels in the Rio and Mediterranean trade.
