Captain Hawkins, 'the master of the schooaer Char la M. Newina, gives ' an ac count of the destruction of the vessel by fire on Wednesday last,' while on a .voyage from this port to New York. The schooner sailed from Wilmington on January 12 and from Smithville five days later. The cargo consisted of naval stores and the schooner carried a crew of six men besides the cap tain. . After passing Gape Hatteras on the fourth day out the schooner encountered a succession of violent gales from the north east and northwest. On Wednesday last she bad nearly completed her voyage, be ing then hot afew- miles east-southeast from Barnegat. At eight o'clock in the morning smoke began to issue from the fore-hatch. The cabin also, became filled with smoke. The pumps were immediately started, but the men could not find where the fire was situated, as it was impossible to enter either the cabin or the fore-hatch. The fog at this time was so. dense that it was difficult to see farther than a boat's length ahead, bat a man t was . stationed in the bow, in the hopes that some passing vessel could be hailed. It soon became ap parent that the fire was fast; gaining ground and that it would be necessary to abandon the schooner in order to save the lives of the crew. Presently, through the fog and heavy smoke the dim outlines of a schooner bearing directly down upon them were suddenly discovered by the lookout. The man hailed . the approaching f craft, which proved to be the pilot boat Edward Cooper, and in a moment came alongside Seeing the condition of the Newirw it was agreed to take the captain and crew on board the pilot boat," which was speedily done. In their haste to escape, from the burning , vessel the crew were unable to save any of their property. The pilot boat remained! close by, the schooner until half- past two in the afternoon when the wind began to freshen, and she sailed away leaving the schooner enveloped in flames. The lost vessel was built in 1860 on Long Island and was owned by Floyd & Newins, of Ne w.York." Vessel and cargo are estima ted to be worth $20,000 and were partially in8nred.:i"':t' '! i The Coroners Attention Dlrectea to h't the Sudden Death of a Colored Boy. i i Coroner Jacobs received infotmatlon on Friday last that a .colored, boy, named El bert Wells, about' four years old, had died suddenly at tne home of his mother on Campbell street and that foul , play :. was suspected -neighbors saying that the child had been severely whipped the day before, Dr. tPotter,, Soperintendent.

B. Engineer in charge; ; tl J- - " . " ' . ."V ;i ,S : BLACK B1VBB.- . ;' x ? Black River 'N.C: possessed (in 1884-51 a moderately well cleared channel from its mouth (in the- Cape Fear River, 14 miles above Wilmington) 22 miles upward to Point Caswell, with 2.5 feet depth at low water, and 4 feet depth at high tide; thence a roughly, cleared navigation 48 miles farther to its head near Lisbon, with 2.5 ' feet depth during nine months per year, and with 6 feet depth during six months per year. A steamer of 2.5-foot draft was regularly running, once or twice per week during nine months per year, over all bnt x'7 miles at the head of the river, The' - river commerce (including rafted goods) was already about $750,000 per year. -.;- : .'r-tv, .,n-v. " Tne submitted project or 1885 proposed to secure at once a thoroughly cleared natural channel over its whole length of 70 miles at an expense of $14,500. It estimat ed in detail as follows : Below Point Cas well, $2,500 for-cleared 2.5-foot channel, or $6,500 for a 4.0-foot channel, or $23, 000 for a 6-foot channel. ' Above Point CaswelL $12,000 for clearing the channel over the whole 48 miles of river: and $15.- 000 more for further dredging and dikeing at the so-called "Narrows or the river. It ; recommelkledt least $10,000 to be expended at Once upon this improvement, provided that all private claims to the river navigation be ceded to the United States before the commencement of such im provement ;' ' - - ''This recommendation was extended in July, 1885. to a total amount of $35,500, to be appropriated in two yearly instal ments of $20,500 and $15,000 respectively. Of this amount it is now estimated that $20,500 can be profitably spent before the end of the fiscal year ending 80th - June, 1887, in first securine to this river a tho roughly cleared channel of its present depth over its whole length of 70 miles, and afterward a 4-foot channel at low water from its mouth upward 22 miles to Point Caswell; and that $15,000 more can be profitably expended later upon the Narrows. "Further improvement, so as to give a 6-foot navigation below Point Caswell is not recommended at present." - NORTHEAST RIVER. "The N. E. Cape Fear river possessed (in 1884 -5) a well cleared channel from Wilmington 60 miles upward to Banner man's Bridee, with 6 feet least depth at low tide; thencea badly obstructed and crooked navigation 80 miles further to Hallsvme with only 20 inches draft, except during high freshets. The otherwise excellent river navigation below Bannerman's Bridge was seriously obstructed at Castle Hayne (18 miles above Wilmington) by the Wil mington & Weldon K. K. Bridge, built without a draw span, and with a head-way of only 10 feet at high tide with ordinary water. This navigation was also slightly obstructed, about 2 miles above Wilming ton, by two submerged and concealed piers of an old county bridge. As one of these piers was in the main channel and rose to nearly low water level, its removal was im portant It was difficult to estimate cor rectly the probable commerce of this river wnue most of its steamboat navigation was stopped by the Wilmington & Weldon R. a. Bridge. "The submitted project of 1885 proposed to secure a thoroughly cleared 6 -foot navi gation at low tide from Wilmington 60 miles to Bannerman s Bridge. It recom mended that the pier obstruction 2 miles above Wilmington be removed by the .Geneeral Government at an expense of $700; and that the Wilmington & Weldon R. K. be required to insert a draw in its bridge at Castle Hayne, 18 miles above Wilmington. "Jfurtner improvement or this river so as to extend Us navigation above Bannerman's Bridge i& not recommended at present" w .- Cotton Receipts and Exports. The receipts of cotton yesterday were 872 bales, against 138 bales for the corres ponding day last year; and for the week 1,578 bales, against 892 for the same period last year an increase of 686 bales. For the crop year the receipts up to and includ ing yesterday were 88,740 bales, against 90,414 bales for the same time last year a decrease of 1,674 bales. ;j The total exports of cotton from Wil mington for the crop year to date, are 82, 973 bales, against 88.987 at the same time last year, - v Unmallaale Letters.
