In the controversies in which 1 have recently, and

himself upon every current, and taken advantage of j
every ibreeee, which has seemed calculated to carry I

To those who have felt aggrieved by the pieces I '
have occasionally published for some years, I have I
only to say, it would be well for them to remember, j
that, if disposed to complain, 1, too, could enumerate
substantial cause of grief. But the public shall it t
unnecessarily be annoyed by the recital of wrongs
-sustained by the writer <»f these pieces. If any with
whom I have ever acted have heretofore believed, or
shoujd hereafter believe, that they have had sufficient
reason to decline further concert, let them do, as I
would do under similar circumstances, decline further
concert. Ido not say this in disregard of valued as
sociations which I would willingly perpetuate, hut in
justice to triends having equally or greater ability and
for themselves.
I infer all circumstances, let personal friendship—l
Jtarl like to have said, ‘brotherly love’—continue.
In my future efforts, I will endeavor to give as lit
tle offence as the proper disposition of matters in hand
may allow. I shall not feel bc.und, however, to pa-s
by aggressions on my feelings or character; or on
those of my personal or political friends; but shall feel
at perfect liberty, if need be, to notice either.
lu conclusion I have only to add, that, having done
myself justice in the controversy, w ith M. I am for the
present satisfied, and willingly pass to other matters.

AWFUL CALAMITY.
Loss of Steamboat Lexington, with nearly every soul
on board, in number from 150 to 200 persons.
By yesterday’s Ea-tern Mai! we learn the particu
lars of a most appalling calamity, involving the loss
of about one hundred ami fifty lives in consequence
of the conflagration of the Steamboat Lexington, I
while <>n her way from New York to Providence. All
the details which have reached us are subjoined. It
will be seen that panic and terror in the extreme fol
lowed the annunciation of the tact that the steamboat
was on fire, and that tlrnse who rushed into the -mall
boats under their influence, while the steamboat was
under full w ay, were all sudd< nly lost. The burning
of the hempen tiller ropes, soon alter, rendered the
vessel unmanageable, and the use of this article, in
defiance ■>! the Act of Congress, doubtless led to the
loss of many lives.
We are very sorry to learn that lettershave been
received in tins city S'atinu that Mr. John K* irle, ‘nd
Mr. G. IN. Walker, Mr. Keirh ’s son-in-law, left New
York in the steamer Lexington on the day of her fa
tal disaster. There are also strong grounds for be
lief th it Mr. Church, formerly of the firm of Messrs.
A. Lilly &. Co., and Mr. A. Weston, of the fi rm of !
Weston, Pendexter &, Co., of this city w ere on board. I
From ths N. Y. Journal of Commerce, Jan. 15, 2 P. M.
Our communitx has been thrown into great excite
meat and grief, in consequence of the news of the 10-s
of the steamboat Lexington, which left here on Mon
day afternoon for Providence, and nearly all the per
sons on board perished.
A letter from Norwalk, received some hours since,
announced the fact that a steamboat had been burnt
off that port, and that it was supposed to be the Lex
ington.
But the full extent of the calamity was not known,
nor scarcely anticipated, until half an hour since, on
the arrival of the Nimrod, Capt. Brooks, from New
port.
Among the passengers, we understand, were Ro
bert Blake of Wrentham; a Mr. Fowler of ibis city;
Wm. A. Green, firm of Allen is; Green, Providence;
Samuel Henry, of M Winchester (Eng.) Chas. 11.

APPALLING CALAMITY.
Steamboat Lexington destroyed by fire, and nearly
tiro hundred lives lost!!.
The Lexington left New Y rk for Stonington, on
Monday, 3 o’clock, P. M., having, it is believed,
about one hundred and fifty passengers. A large i
■quantity of Cotton was placed upon Iter decks. At 1
7 o’clock, when about two miles from Eaton’s Neck, '
she cotton took fire near the smoke pipe.
The boat was headed for the shore as soon as the i
•efforts to extinguish the fire proved unsuccessful. She 1
was provided with three boats—yet such was the pa- i
me which took pi-sses-ion of all minds that they were !
hoisted out while the boat was still tinder headway
and immediately swamped. The engine a few min
utes after gave way, leaving her utterly nnmanagea- '
ble. The scene which then ensued, is described as 1
most appalling.
Ca|rtain Chester Hilliard, of Norwich, a passenger
•on board from whom we have gathered these few par
ticulars, states that soon after the engine stopped, the ]
passengers began to leave the boat on boxes, bales,
&.c. In company with one of the Firemen he was so
fortunate as to secure a cotton bale, to which he lashed
himself. He remained upon this bale, the wind blow
ing off Long Island shore, until 11 o’clock this morn
ing, when he was taken up by the sloop Merchant, of
Southport.
His companion in the meantime bad been released
by death from his sufferings. T-vo others were ta
ken up by the sloop, ti fireman anti the Pilot of the
boat. Both were nearly insensible. It is surpri*ing '
that any should have survived the exposure.—-There i
is too much teason to f ar that the three are i\w only
snnivur*. It is however p ssilde, that others may
hax e Ina u sav« d.
The boat diilted up the sound with the tide, and
was oii' ibi- harbo about midnight. Capt. A. states
:!i u site san , at t r e o’< I ck, as he marked the time
by I is watch.
Th.- eli’it- which last night were made, in this vi
e.uiiy an ' nt S' Uthport, to go in aid of the sufferers
prove i, ow ing tn the ice in the harbors, mid to other
untoward circumstatices, entirely tinax ailing.
NN e learn that a boat which succeeded in getting
out ot Southport harbor, after reaching the middle of
the Sound w as compelled to return.
The account which we have given ofttiis awful ca
tastrophe, is exceedingly imperfect. It may be well
imagined that our informant is hardly in a situation
to furnish many details.

STEAMBOAT LEXINGTON .BURNT—ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY LIVES LOST.
Our citizens were alarmed on Monday evening, bv
the appearance of a great light at some distance west,
on the Sound, which was generally believed to be a
steamboat on fire. Nothing conclusive, however,
was heard in regard to it tdl the arrival of our boat
from New York, on Tuesday afternoon, which
brought the melancholy intelligence that the light
was occasioned by the conflagration of the steamboat
Lexington, which was entirely destroyed, and that till
o:t board except three perished. One of the survi
vors, Capt. fliliiard, of Norwich, this State, whom
we. have seen and conversed with, came on h» re in
the boat.
The Lexington left New York at 3 o’clock, P. M.
for Stonington. About half past 7 o’clock, when off
Eaton’s Net k, L. 1., the wood-work, casings, &tc.,
about the flues, was dicovered to be on fire.
An alarm was immediately given, and all efforts to
subdue the flames proving unavailing, the pilot head
ed the boat directly for Long Island shore. In about
15 minutes it was found the tiller ropes were burnt in
two. mid the boat consequent!y unmanageable.
The engine, however, kept in operation, under a
heavy head of steam. The three > mall boats were
got out with all possible haste, but they swamped soon
after they struck the water, in consequence of the
speed at which the steamer was going towards the
shore.
A life-boat, which was aboard, was also launched
but by some means was in a few minutes unfortunate
ly lost. No relief, therefore, was obtained from ei
ther of the boats.
NN hen the Lexington had got within ab ut two
miles ofthe shore, her engine suddenly slopped.—All
hopes of escape to those on board, except by clinging
to such articles of freight as would sustain them, were
cut off.
The freight of the Lexington consisted principally
of cotton, on which some of the passengers tried to
save themselves, but none succeeded except Captain
Hilliard and a fellow-passenger, both of whom got
astride of a cotton bale on which they kept together
'ill 6 o’clock in the morning-, when the strength of
Captain Hilliard’s companion failed him, and he fell
off an I wa- drowned.
Capt. H. continued upon his bale of cotton till 11
o’clock, A. M., Tuesday, when he was taken offby a
-loop which went out ft-, m Southport, having been
■Juts exposed about 15 hours. Two others, ciinginu
to a fragment ofthe boat, were also rescued bv this
-loop—one the engineer, the other a fireman ofthe
uiifiirtunate boat.
The bodies of two others, one a colored woman,
wete lik‘wise taken from a part of the wreck, on
which they had perished with cold.
I he iium' er on board, Capt. 11. thinks, was not
le s th-m 175, of whom 150 were pas engers, out ol
which, lie belt- ve> Itim-elf to be the only one saved.
Among th number, were five or six women, and two
or three child en.
The scene on board was awful beyond description.
The fire being midway of the boat cut off all commu
nication from one end to the other. The passengers
cow! d to-ji-th r in the bow and stern, moaning and
iiewailing iheir fat -, till compelled to cast '.hemselves
into the watery deep, to escape the flames.
Th'- I oat drilled with the tide, and sank at 3
o’clock, off our harbor.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT WILMINGTON.
Extract of a loiter received in Charleston, front
NVilminutun N. C. :
“We have suffered a great calamity. About half’
past two, M. A., a fire broke out in Dawson’s store,
near the Court House, which consumed the whole
square, except one of’Restor’s houses, the corner op
posite th< State Bank, the old Cathorda House. The
fire ex'ended to the lower sqtt >re, and consumed the
whole to the river, except the Cape Fear Bank—the
M it tin 1 louse, ami old Mr. James’, and a building
back ofthe Martin House, which had been used by
R. B. Potter. The Court House is also burnt, both
piintiiigoflic.es, five lawyers’ do., five doctors’ do.,
Sheriffs do., Clerk’s ofthe Court do., Custom House,
&,c. The amount of buildings destroyed comprises
about om-third of the town, and that in the very cen
tre of business.”

received by the recent arrival ofthe Hibernian from

German 1 lardivare.— A London Shop-keeper
w-rites to us as follows:
“Sir —l wish you could see a l->t of German cutle
ry and hardware which has been examined at the cus
tom-house to-day. Their near approach to English
manufacture, and the low prices at which they can be
rendered, make one tremble for Birmingham and
Sheffield. NVe cannot keep th in out of the market;
do what you will, set ail the tyranny and ill nature to
work of which human nature is capable, yet will they
be at you. They must beat you: your mis- rable
manufacturers starving without resistance, or dying
at the point of your bayonets —that is the f.turity
which awaits you. But there are other prospects in
the distanci—a ruined gentry, decayed farm-houses,
neglected fields, a dismembered and fallen empire—
the fruits of what ? The grinding covetousness of the j
landed interests.— Chronicle.
The corner stone of the Jackson monument was'
laid on Monday last, with appropriate ceremonies, in
the Place d'Armes, New Orleans. The Catholic
Bishop, in his pontificals, and the Clergy in their
robes, assis'ed; a brief address in French and Engli-h
was read by the Abbe Aaduze, and an oration pro
nounced by Barton. General Jackson was pre- i
sent on the occasion; and after the oration was con
cluded, embarked on the steamboat Vicksburgh, and '
proceeded up the river oh his way home.— Mobile
