The whole body of the boat was in flames in about five minutes after the first discovery of fire, and there were seven persons left in the cabin who were cut off from exit. A young lady about 16 or 17 years old, from Mississippi, was not afterwards found. A lady and her child could not be taken out of the cabin, and are supposed to be burnt.

Burning of the Mobile steamer. --Further Particulars.--We have the particulars of the burning of the passenger steamer Mary Wilson, on the 11th inst., on her way from Mobile to Montgomery. She had about 140 passengers aboard.--A letter says: The engineer, with great presence of mind, rushed into the flames and turned the valve, and set the steamboat engine to work, by which means the pilot was enabled to turn the boat to the right bank of the river. As soon as she struck the passengers rushed over the bows pell mell, but luckily nobody was hurt in the rush. A number of negroes were on the rear of the boat, and being cut off by the flames, they tumbled over cotton bales into the river. Some ten or twelve were afterward picked up. Sixteen are known to be lost.
