New Yon, April 10, 1670, Poraons Intimato with Alexandor T. Btewntt oxpreun tho bollof, in splto of contradietion, that ho will nover leavo his houso, to which hohas beon conflued for somo days ; and that lolis rapidly sinking from a malignaut nitack of Bright's disoaeo of tho kiduoys. A, Th STEWAUT'S HEALTIT. Tho morchant-prince has boon suffering, it fa eald, from disonso for two or throo yenrs, though it is only very Iatoly that it has declared. itgelf inthat form, Ho bine boen o man of vig- orons constitution, and such great forco of will, that, in epitc of his allment, he baos dovoted himsolf strictly to tho personal mauagoment of his immenso business. He hog not boon absent until recently from hia private offico in his wholosalo cstablishmont, for s singlo day, excopt Bundoy nud when lo lus ‘boon out of town, for & numbor of yoars; and the fact that ho is now compoliod to romain in his chem~ bor ahows how tary ill ho must bo. It has long ‘bean hia babit to visit hia rotail storo punctually at 10 o'clock ovory morning, and to go through overy dopartmont. , Aftor that, hio hias shut him- gol? up in hig ofico at the corner of Brondway and Oliambora streots, and remained thore until 5 or 6in the evoning. _ Hardly any mon in town has worked harder than Stowart ; and it may be faisly BAd, peou~ niarily spoaking, that e has ‘been rewardod for his industry, a8 ho must now bo worth fully 50,000,000, Aen WS WILh 1ins fong beon mede, and it is whispered that In it aro sovoral largo boquests to charitable ob~ Jocts, which will surprise tho great mass of peo- plo who havo nover rogarded him o8 o benoyo- lont or gonerous man. He has mover had any children, and his divect Lioirs aro supposed to bo vary fow; 80 that ono can bardly imagino what he can do with his money, uuless he should leave it for Bomo closmosynary purposo. Tho atory is ogain cnrrent that ho has given to tho city his now and splondid manslon (it is 80 called, though It really looks liko & vast white sepulcro), to bo uscd as an art-gallory, includ- ing his own collootion of picturos and marbles. Thero aro also rumora of Inrge funds for the establishment of public library, & museum, and o hospital; but all this is moro conjocture, since nobody, oxcopt tho lawyers, so far as known, has ever scen the will. 8till, thero is good roason to believo that the grenlor park of his proporty will bo dovoted to publio charitics and municipal bonefit. Stewart, liko Jooy Bagatock, is very tough and dovilishsly, and may, aftor all, astonish folks by an early recovery, and by coutinuing in business for somo yoars longer. Hois now 74, and cau- not, in tho course of naturs, live moro than half & contury longor. One would not suppeso that THE ATLANTIO DISASTER would have caused such a panic as it has In ro- Emrd to tho ocoan, The Luroponn stoamers that ave eaflod since bavo not beon much more than one-half full. Muny of tho siate-rooms have been glven up, ospociallyon the WhitoStar Line, and hundreds of persous who had mtended to go abroad this 'senson have raconsiderad, aud to- solved to stay at homo. The Cunardors, whose bonst s thnt they hnvo nevor lost a passenger, are pot 8o much nffectod as thoe othior stoamers; indoed, thoy aro rathor benofitod, on tho wholo, by miarino disastors, becauso tho' travoling pub- lic has & notion that thoy aro oxtromely gnfe, In accordence with tho doctrino of proba- Dbilities, the Cunardors are now more liable to acctdent thex the shipsof any other line, and tho White Star stoamers are thio lenst linble. But the genoral publie *cannot be mado to com- prehond such sovere logio, and _will, in conso- qu.nce, dvnw their conclusions from norvor) feam, T o ew weoks, this fright will pass, and peo- plo will once more intruxt thomsolves, without more_than tho n\'nrngu apprehousion, to the perfidious and incxorabla sea.
