The ship Shandon of Glasgow, on her passage from that

port to Montreal, with a cargo on board valued at 80,0001., was totally destroyed by fire on the ad instant, soon after she had left port. From the Captain's statement it would appear that the fire originated spontaneously among the cargo, on the 2d. The passengers were sent on board the Gleneairn, which fortunately was at hand.
