On Friday evening last, at about 7 o'clock, the Steam Boat Dolphin, formerly the Tri-Color, on her passage up, took fire at Captina Creek, about 20 miles below Wheeling, and before 9 she was entirely consumed.
Fortunately there were no passengers on board, so no lives were lost. Part of her cargo, consisting of fish, will, we are told, probably be saved, but the residue, consisting in part of 80 hhds. sugar and 150 bbls. tar, was consumed with the boat. There was a full insurance upon her.
