Burned.

--The alarm of fire at a late hour on Friday night was caused by the burning of Robert Beard's Iron foundry, in Manchester, south side of James river, near the end of Mayo's Bridge. It was a wooden structure, newly erected, and the, proprietor had but lately gotten to work. The fire is supposed to have been the act of an incendiary.
