FIRE.-- This morning, about half past 2 o'clock, the schooner ALWILDA, lying at the dock, foot of Commercial Street, took fire in her stern cabin, and was still burning at our going to press, though the firemen had succeeded in getting the flames under control. She had just taken in a cargo, mostly turpentine, and pitch, with a deck load of marble, which was bound up the lake.

THE SCHOONER ALWILDA.---This vessel which we noticed yesterday morning as having been burnt during the night, was owned by Capt. Moore and his brother. She was a small vessel of 75 tons burthen, and was insured for $3,000---her full value. She had taken aboard the previous day, 98 bbls. turpentine, and some resin, and a deck load of marble slabs for Sandusky; shipped by A.R. Cobb and Maxwell & Patten.
