NEW YORK HERALD. ow York, Monday, March 6, Adjournment of Congress—What next? At length the Twenty-Seventh Congress have ad- journed. The Koonskin Kongress is no more.— Whatever evil it may have inflicted on the country, it has itself adjudged its own punishment, by its Jast acts and its closing scenes. Jt has created and re- pealed a Bankrupt law, and a thousand other freaks of equal sagacity and folly. In its last throes it has left many things undone, that would be well to re- main so. The infamous post-office project has been lett to sleep on its tables. This is one good thing. The hard cider Congress has adjourned—what next? Captain Tyler and his party are now clear- ing the decks, and preparing for a grand campaign forthe next Presidency. The rejeciion by the Se- nate of Cushing, Wise, and others, all leading mem- bers of the Guard, will only give edge to the contest which now begins. Mr. Webster will probably be sent to England, in order to take away thestumbling block that} he has been to the democracy ; for the President seems resolved to play his game for the democracy, even at the expense and sacrifice of Webster. We expect, therefore, new and singular move- ments every day,from this hour forward. Removals and appointments will follow fast and furious. The whole force and influence of the administration will be directed to one purpose—to the creation of a Ty- ler party, and tothe re-election of John Tyler to the Presidency. This is a new and curious experiment in politics. The first grand movement takes place in Military Hall, Bowery, on the 15th instant, under the superintendance of M. M. Noah, as Chairman. Let us stand by and see fair play. Let Captain Ty- ler have a chance. Tue Banxrvrt Law Repeacep—Tue Resunts.— ‘The long agony is over. The Bankrupt Law is re- pealed; the signature of the President having been affixed to the Repeal Bill last Friday, the 3d inst, The immediate effect of its repeal will be that all petitioners who filed their petitions previous to the third inst. will be allowed to go through; those filed siace, will be rejected. But although repealed, the Bankrupt Law has not yet done its work. Like the passage of adevas- tating atmy through a country, itleavesa long train of evils behind. Its principal benefits have been re- ceived by speculators, overtraders, and fictitious ca- pitalists. To the honest merchant, doing a regular business on a sound basis, and in a legitimate way, the Bankrupt Law has in most instances proved an injury and an embarrassment. To the press also it has been a source of profit. The Courier & En- quirer admits that it has{received some $15,000 or $20,000, probably not less than $25,000. So much to one solitary] paper. How much to all we have not calculated. But the effects and assets of debt- ors may be considered as having been distribated among three classes—to the press one-third—to law- yers one-third—and to creditors one-third. And if this latter class have in all cases got enough to pay their postage, they may consider that they have done well. * The total amount of debts repudiated—for it is no- thing but repudiation—may be set dowu at $5,000 to each bankrupt; and if there be 40,000 bankrupts, the total repudiation will be about $200,000,000, equal to the total indebtedness of all the States of the Unien. The Bankrupt Law, however, has {now run its race, nor is it probable that there will be another for the next half century. Nor will there be occa- sion for another Bankrupt Law until another age of speculation shall come round, with all its growth of banks, its paper cities, and castles in the air. Tae Somers Cask nerorr THE Granp Jury oF tae U. S. Disrrict Courr.—We understand that this important case is now before the Grand Jury of the United States'District Court, and there is the strongest probability that an indictment will be found. If such really turn out to be the case, and the indictment be not quashed on technical grounds, as we have heard intimated will be urged, the in- vestigation of the whole affair will pass into the hands of a civil tribunal, which cannot possibly be accused of partiality; a new and all-absorbing in- terest will be given to this remarkable case; and due justice will be rendered to American seamen on the one side, and American naval officers on the other ; for in reality that is the preper and practi- cal aspect of the case. It is simply a question as to the nature and extent of the rights of our seamen, and the legal limits of the authority of their su- periors. The Somers case is most evidently, by far the most important one in the hole history of our Navy. From the organization of that Navy, upto the period of these awful occurrences, the charac- ter of the men composing the service has been un tarnished by a Single stain of dishonor or treachery to their flag. Therejis something most monstrous and incredible in the idea that American seamen could harbor such a plot as that ascribed to two- thirds of the crew of the Somers. What! is it not a libel on the whole service, to suppose that such a large body of the men composing it, could be found capable of joining in a conspiracy to convert the honored flag of their revered country into the banner of a bark of pirates and fassassins?—to murder their officers, and then attack American merchantmen, and violate their countrywomen, and cut the throats of their fellow citizens? The history of the service gives the lie tosuch a horrible supposition. We can- not believe that the honorable and chivalrous cha- racter, and tried patriotism of American seamen, can possibly be disgraced by the establishment of such a charge. And it isin order to afford the fullest and most satisfactory means of ascertaining whether the hitherto unblemished reputation of our naval service has in reality been at allblotted or disgraced, that we desire te have this case submitted to the examination and adjudication of a tribunal which will command universal confidence and respect, that we trust no more technicalities ef law may stand in the way of the proceedings now anticipated. News rrom Evror We were somewhat dis- appointed yesterdayin not hearing from the Great Western. She has slipped through her regular day, and we are sorry for it. To-day is her twenty-third trom England, and we really hope she will make her appearance this morning. Suspense is not the thing for us, or forany body else Navat.—We learn, with pleasure,that Capt. Sands has been appointed to the command of the Navy Yard on this station for the present. This is a capi- tal selection. Captain Sandsis well known and ex- ceedingly popular here. He is an eminent officer. lt issaid that the President has revoked the sen- tence of the Naval Court Martial under which Com- modore Ballard was suspended from command for the period of twelve months. Prorgsson Greennvsn’s Lecrurss.—We invite the attention of our readers to the course of lectures by protessor Greenbush, announced by advertise- ment in this dav’s paper. The popularity of this gentleman, and the value of his lectures, are well known to the public. Mapame Maronce.ii’s Concert tais Evenina -It is with unfeigned pleasure that we call the attention of our readers to this concert, which is to be given this evening at the Apollo, by this distin- guished artisté. It 1s her first appearence since her return to this country, and we are assured that she cannot fail to receive a most enthusiastic welcome SMoKine.—We understand that the Normas and Norregas sold by our friend Henriques, of 51 Wil- liam street, are the genuine No.1. It would be as well for all segar smokers to call. Hundreds who daily pass should drop in, and you will find the famous caterer always ready to please all tastes Commenciat, Bank.—Hebry Meigs, mentioned yes- erday as one of tie debtors of the Commercial Bank neither Mr. Henry Meigs, late Alderman of the Ninth ward, nor his son American Newspaper Lirenarurg.—The cha- racter of the newspaper press of this country, and in particular the spirit, morale, tone, circulation and 1n- fluence of the New York Herald, are at present en- Srossing a very considerable share of the attenuon of the British journalists. This amuses us vastly. There are, it seems, only three topics connected with America whieh have at present sufficient inte- rest to occupy the thoughts of the people of England, to wit:—State debts—the right of visit—and the New York Herald. We have received, by the last steamship the Edinburgh Quarterly and Westmin- ster Reviews, the latter of which is the influential organ of the republican party in Great Britain. In these journals the merits and demerits of American { newspaper literature are discussed with all the gra- vity and minuteness of investigation which such an important subject demands ; and the Westminster Review has taken the trouble of subjecting to “‘care- ful examination a file of the New York Herald,” in order that it may pronounce the deliberate verdict of asober and accurately informed judgment. Alter this dispassionate examination, the West- minster Review has, 1n opposition to all that Boz and the Foreign Quarterly have uttered on the subject, given a decision in our favor; and in a spirit of en- lightened candor and justice, maintains that the mo- ral tone of the American is not so low as that of even the stamped press of Great Britain, and that its abuses admit of a better ramedy than can be found in either the imposition of a stamped duty or a cen- sorship. And in the assumption of this ground, so highly creditable to our newspaper literature, the reviewer is thoroughly sustained. Reference is made by the reviewer to the character of the “Age,” the “ Satirist,” and the ‘John Bull;” and many other papers might have been included—which cir- culate extensively amongst the upper classes in Eng- land, and their ribaldry, obscenity, and gross perso- nalities, are represented as immeasurably exceeding any thing to be met with in the newspaper press of this country. The reviewer gives the New York Herald due credit for the excellence and extent of of its commercial intelligence, its enterprise in the early publication of important news, and pointedly alludes to its wide spread circulation. What is par- ticularly worthy of note, the Review assigns, with perfect accuracy, as one of the reasons of the abuse with which the New York Herald has been visited by contemporaries, the fact of its cheapness, and consequent “ circulation of more than twice the number of copies issued of any other daily journal.” Such 1s the light in which our labors are regarded by the able organ of the movement party in Great Britain. On the other hand, all the abuse poured out against us in that country, has issued from the organs of the oppressive oligarchy, whose iren hoof has at last aroused the masses to a great effort, which must ere long terminate in the overthrow of despotic authority, and the establishment of free in- sututions. Ina few days we will give copious extracts, which more fully illustrate the extraordinary impetus given to American newspaper literature by the establish- ment of the New York Herald. In fact, the millen- nium of the newspaper press in thisceuntry dates its birth from that event. Before the Herald entered the field, the newspaper press in this country excited little attention in Europe, and the English journals scarcely knew even the name of an American news- paper. Circus—Last Nicur at THe Park—Wetcn’s Benerit.—We regret to perceive that this is the last night of this popular equestrian establishment at Old Drury. It is Mr. Welch’s Benefit, and the Company’s valedictory. Mr. Welch is altogether the greatest equestrian manager in this ceuntry, or perhaps in the world. Indeed, he may be set down as the Napoleon of his profession. His own private history is of itself a romance. He has travelled in various foreign countries,’ catching and collecting animals. He first bought and freighted a vessel to Africa, the Cape of Good Hope, and spent some six months or a year on that continent, and finally brought home those rare curiosities, the!Giraffes, as a part of the fruits of his researches. He is at this present time! the sole or part owner of three or four different equestrian companies, in different parts of the world. His next grand enter- prise will be to send off a company to Ching Tong Boo, the Emperor of China. Mr. Welch will sail in the same vessel with the new American Minister Plemipotentiary to that ancient Empire. It is a very curious and remarkable enterprise, and will be fully explained thisevening by Mr. Welch himself. Previous to leaving for China, however, Mr. Welch performs a short engagement at Boston—for which city, he leaves New York immediately. He is sure to make money, wherever he goes. CrassicaL Lyncx Law 1x Boston.—We have re- ceived by express the following account of a clas- sical street fight, which came off in Boston last Sa- turday, between a Professor at Harvard College and a Medical gentleman of that cit; [From the Boston Mail, March 4.) A Ficnt in WASHINGTON STREET, BETWEEN A Doctor anv 4 Paoresson.—A battle came off in Washington street bout 2 o'clock to day, which, thowgh rather bloodless in nts were Professor Loverin nd Dr. William Hawes—and near the corner of Summer street. As the conflict w story goes, Prof. Lovering had offered some insult to th sister of Dr. Hawes ; and the cowhide and passed back war ton street, for the purpose of administering what he con- sidered the proper remedy or punishment for the ingult. At length he met the object of his pursuit, and seizing him by the collar with one hand, administered afew Blows with the cowhide with the other; when some consider- ate rn by_snatched the weapon trom the Doctor's hand. The Professor then seized the Dr. by the hair of the head, and gave a pretty strong tug at it; they then grappled, and tumbled helter-skelter into the gutter, and were finally separated by the crowd who had gathered to witness the cenflict, without much damage to either.— ‘When men of respectable standing in society, like Dr. Hawes and Mr. Lovering, engage in a street fight, and dis. turb the public peace, the influence is felt against law and order through all the intermediate grades i until we come to that portion to whom all law i ery. There may have been aggravating circumstances in this case, if not to justify, at least to mitigate hie con- duct. In defence of a sister’s wrongs, the world very pro- perly gives great license to a brother’s acts; and the more public the place for administering punishment and disgrace in such cases, the more effectual that pu: ment. Still we have seen no evidence that any insult was offered by the Professor, and we ere very unwilling to say any thing that can create a prejudice against him, un til we know-all the facts in the case. itter armed himself wit Pavi Grout anp Joz Suitu.—Make way, and let our friend Paul set his house in order: New Yonx, March 4th, 1843.

To this Ido not seriously ob- e confines himself to innocent remini ines will, in any way, make his let- ters “rich” or interisting to the almost numberless readers of your exquisite “Herald.” But I must beg to correct him, if he supposes that I have “ one of the best sinecure commissions in the Governor's gift,” or, that I am “one of the Calhoun barn burners ” as he is pleased to term them. If he will but step over to the office of the Secretary of State and look at the report of my predecessor, he will find, that the net proceeds received by the Measurer Ge- neral last year, was but thirteen hundred and fifty-nix dol- iars and thirteen cents. And if he will take the trouble to enquire of any member of our Delegation in Albany, or of any one else, who has heard me express an opinion on the hoagie otip bo tart he will find that I have uniform: ly given a most decided and unequivocal suppert to, and preference for, Martin Van Buren, from the first time e was named as candidate fer the Presidency to the present moment.

Flight of the Office seekers—Hotel- keepers benefited or not?—The Legislature—Religious Excitement, Se. Se. Compared with the appearance it presented some few weeks ago, or even less time, our city 1s now quite a deserted village. The greater part of the immense army of office-seekers have departed, and returned to their homes, with all the varied feelings of joy, suspense, and disappointment. A few lag here yet, catching, like drowning men, at straws, and still hoping against hope. Well, let them go ; their loss is not felt, except, perhaps, among the ho- tel keepers ; and it is much to be doubted whether even to them ii 1s quite a disaster, Robert Hunter, Fag , the President of the Canal Bank in this city, died this morning. He was a wealthy and successful merchant, and much respec- ted among our citizens. His disease was an aflec- tion of the heart. - _ In the SenaTe to-day, a long debate, involving the right of petition, was had. on the subject of a peti- tion praying for the passage of a stoplaw. It was trom Herkimer county, and asked for the passage of a temporary Jaw for eighteen months. Mr. Wriaut laid on the table a concurrent reso- lution for the final adjourament of the Legislature on the 11th of April. Tu the AssemBLy to-day, the committee reported a bill introduced on_ notice, respecting the rights of married women. The report of the New York In- stitution forthe Blind. i A bill was passed relative to the transmission of public monies in the treasury. Mr. ALLEN explained that the law imposing the mill tax did not give spe- cific directions as to the manner in which the money, when collected, should be transmitted. The reso- lutions relative to General Jackson’s fine were re- ceived from the Senate. After a long debate on a point of order, as to whether the resolutions should not lie over one day—as giving rise to.debate—under the rule, the resolutions were adopted by a vote of 73 to 24—a party vote. After this the House adjourned. . The religious excitement that has prevailed in this city for the last four weeks, is the most wonderful and ssrange in its effects that can be imagined.— Some of the most influential and wealthy of our ci- tizens have been carried away by it, and members of the legislature, too, As yet, there is no abate- ment of it.

Samuel Jones and Michael Ulshoefter were to-day appointed Judges of the Common Pleas. Aleng list of appointments for some of the western coun- ties. The Governor is going into the work with zeal, and a few more days ef such work will leave but few mere appointments to be made. The prison officersfor the State prison at Auburn, have been appointed, and those for Sing Sing are to follow in a day ortwo. This has been an exciting day in both branches of the Legislature. In the Assembly a demonstra- tion was made by one of the subterraneans in the conservative or “ reasonable democracy,” as the style themselves, during the debate on the ban commissioners bill. It was trom Mr. L. Sherwood, of the county of Madison, and was mainly in reply to the speech of General Davis, on the same ques- tion, delivered a day or two since. This speech of Mr. Sherwood’s was most bitter and severe, and created no emall excitement. He alluded to the legislature of 1836, which created some ten millions of banking capital, and which was styled by Gene- ral Davis, asa ‘‘ reasonably democratic one,” in terms of the most unmeasured denunciation, and scouted the idea of its democracy. He avowed his determination to speak his own sentiments at all times freely, and at all hazards, and ridiculed the idea advanced by some men—men who were any thing but what they claimed to be, democrats— that by so doing the integrity of the party would be en- dangered. He said there was no danger of that— the bank conservatives would stick to the demo- cratic perty as long as there was any thing to be had —like burs to the fleece of asheep. He said, these men were the cau-e of the recent overthrow of the democratic party in this State. They started off with their leaders, Rives and others, but they stopped at a sort of halfway house, when the’ thought they saw a storm gathering, and afterwards rejoined the party, there to destroy it if they were permitted to rule the roast as they wished, aud now sought to do, He avowed himself a supporter of Gov. Bouck, as long as he supported the principles on which he was elected,and no longer,and considered it one of the most radical principles of the democracy to strip the Executive of all possible intluence. He was particularly severe on banks in general, which he styled as rotten and corrupt institutions, &c. &c. The whigs are chuckling mightily over this speech, and think they perceive in it the evidence of grow- ing dissention 1n the ranks of the democracy. Gen. Davis has the floor, and will reply to Mr. Sherwood to-morrow, when we shall hear the other side of the question. General Davis is no small antago- nist, and an equally bitter and severe reply may be expected. pia ih ee On the commencement of to-day’s sitting in the mbly, quite a breeze was kicked up by the whigs, on account of what they considered the en- forcement ot the gag yesterday on the vote on the resolutions relative to the fine of General Jackson. Mr. Willis Hall, and others, insisted that they were not hostile to repaying the fine to General Jackson, but az no time wasallowed them for consideration, they were obliged to Lote the votes, which they did under protest, and this last fact they wished stated on the journals. After considerable debate, this motion was put down. Inthe Senate, after the reports of committees had been received, all succeeding orders of busi- ness were laid on the table, and the bill to aid in the construction ef the New York and Erie Rail Road was taken up. Mr Foster brought in an amendment, striking out all after the first two sections, and sub- stituting others similar in substance, but. more uarded in any expression of the State taking up the works. A session was held at four o’clock, when, after considerable debate, and the rejection of several amendments, among which was one to make the road a State work, by a vote of 5 to 21, the bill was adopted in committee of the whole, ac- cepted by the House, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, by avote of 18to9. The title was then amended go as to read “ An act in rela- tion to the New York and Erie Rail Road,” in- stead of ‘ Anactto ‘aid’ in the construction,” &c. And the Senate adjourned. Stvon, Albany. [Correspondence of the Herald.} Asany, March 2, 1843. James Gorpon Bennett, Esq.!:— Sr :— 1 trust and hope that in the case ef McKenzie, you will not be brow-beaten, either by editors or epau- lettes. Without professing any particular admiration for yourself, I feel indebted to you for your disposition to give the men and their side of the case fair play, and for the opportunity thereby afforded me of see- ing both sides of the case. Captain McKenzie and Ins friends, instead of pettishly objecting to such a course, ought, if they are conscious of perfect recti- tude of conduct, to solicit it. Truth can lose noth- ing by a thorough investigation, and a thorough in- vestigation can only be had by the friends of the par- ties being invited to scrutinise the examination. In a Court Martial, consisting as it does of aboard of officers, interested, to say the least, in maintain- ing to the largest limit their own authority, the ad- vantage must be all en the side of the officers, the disadvantage, all on the side of the men. To neutra- lise this natural piety Fs as far as may be, and show the world, that the Court will conscientiously do justice to the men, every member of it should take pains to show a ition to listen in a kind and frank spirit to the weakest side of the case. Such would be the prompt bearing of honorable men, un- der the circumstances. 3 I have, however, been under the impression from the beginning, that (such impartiality ae hardly ossible) the case could never be fairly tried, except Befores civilceurt. The witnesses examined betore the Court Martial are seamen, who possess an in- stinctive awe and regpectforauniform. Their edu- cation entirely unsuits them, and incapacitates them, from giving an unvarnished statement before a court composed of their superiors. They will in their testimony before such a court, favor the side which exonerates the officer. The best of them might seek to apologise for the offences of their messmates; the best of them, in doing so, would probably aveid any condemnation of the con- duct of their officers. ‘ f Betore a sailor can be examined on terms which willelicit his unbiassed view of the case, he must be beyond the reach of the influence which the mere presence of naval officers will have over him; he could not probably,in any court, escape that influence altogether ; but it would have far lessforce in a civil court than ina court martial. ‘ Accept again of our thanks for your independence in this case. We do not ungualifiedly condemn the conduct of Commander McKenzie—we wait for the whole truth. We cannot, however, accept of any other man’s perception of that, and Captain, McKen- zie cannot be exonerated in the public opinion, if he can be exonerated at all, until they are in full posses- sion of the entire defence of the men and their triends, as well ag of that of Capt. MeKenzie and his friends, Many. Cincinnati; {Correspondence of the Herald.] Cincrmnatt, Feb. 26, 1843. Fire in Cincinnati—Anomalous Explosion— Great Loss of Life and Property !! Frrenp Bennett :— Thinking that it might not be uninteresting to you to be informed, in detail, in relation to an ap- palling catastrophe, that occurred amoag us last evening, I hasten to communicate. And in order to get a sufficiently vivid idea of the real life, you must give full, loose rein, to your imagination, the most brilliant pencilings of which cannot color the canvas too highly. Last evening, at five o’clock, the cry of fire wi heard at the corner of Walnut and Cunal streets ; and immediately after, was seen a huge volume o! dense smoke to ascend, whose trightful blackness, and tenacity, evidently indicated that it was pro- duced by the burning decomposition of some oleagi- nous substance ; and the ery soon came that the ex- tensive smoke house of Messrs. Alvord & Pugh, which contained some hundred tons of bacon, sus- pended and being smoked, was on fire! The fire, caught {rom the smoke-fire, and the whole inside of the building, bacon, &c. were burning as fast as at- mospheric air could find its way into it to feed the flame, which was as yet but slow, as the house was of brick, and quite tight, except a small cupola at the top, and two doors that communicated with the large pork house, a huge pile of brick and mortar some hundred feet square. The fire bells immedi- ately responded to the cry, andin ten minutes all the bells in the city were chiming in frightful concert. Itbeing Saturday evening, at the close of the week, every body was more or less at leisure, and seeing the black cloud of smoke increase so rapid- ly, allrushed to the scene; se that in twenty min- utes from the first alarm, from ten to fifteen thou- sand penne were assembled—many of whom were closely gathered around the large pork house, which, asI have said, was connected with the burning smoke house by two doors,through whieh thesmoke and oleaginous gassious fluid, were pressing with tremendous force. During all this, every door, window, and other opening of the ia building, were closed to their utmost tightness, from which this fluid was struggling for vent, at every pore— nail hole—from between the shingles—the window and door crevices—through every minute crevice in the walls, &c. By this time some 8 or 10 of the fire and ladder companies had arrived, but could do no- thing, as the fire was still confined within the walls of the smoke house, that four stories high, and without opening, to give the engines a chance to play upon the flames. The destroying element, as though in defiance of the firemen, was roaring, raging, and erie lng withio, and pouring its heat- ed gassious breath into the big house, which seemed like some huge monster, from pain inflicted by the 1 into its bowels, and este for air and relief! What was to be done! all was now uproar and confusion, anxiety and alarm—the bells keep up the alarm—people are rushing from al! parts of the town —while the families, merchants, grocers, and others, in that and the adjoining block, expecting an over- whelming conflagration, are tearing down, and re- be gh the streets, and the neighboring mar- ket. At length is heard the hoarse thundering from the trumpet of the Fire Captain to “Break through the walls of the smoke house, to give the engines access to the flames.” Immediately all hands are at work with axes, sledge hammers, large timbers, acting as battering rams, &c. &c. In the mean time, ladders are raised, men mount the large build- ing, veering engine hose, hooks, &c. ; soon, howev- er, the wished for hole is stove through the walls of the smoke house, some3 or 4 feet square, through which atmospheric air rushes—increases the flame which rushes through the doors into the large house, now pressed to its utmost strength with this high heated gas, and with the roar of an earthquake, which immediately ignites, raising this large house from its foundation, and scattersit to the four winds ! The scene was now past description, men, boys, bricks, boards, rafters, beams, kegs of lard, barrels of flour and pork, smoked bacen, beef, empty bar- rels, pickled pork, ladders, engine hose, é&c. &c , were all flying in the air at the same in- stant. As the building stood near the ca- nal, many were thrown, into it—others on the top of neighboring buildings—others on the other side of the street—others buried deep under the ruins of brick and mortar—while the mul- titude rushed from it with such fury that hundreds were trodden down, and bruised and beaten horri- bly. The consternation soon subsided, and we re- turned to survey the ruins. The first I heard were the groans of the wounded. and dying, which, with the dead, were scattered in every direction. This poor fellow’s head is jammed to a jelly : there is an- other who has lost all the back part of his, and his brains are spattered over the brick and timber; an- other with his cracked open and vara to the right and left; this ene’s chest broken in, others with both legs broken—arma, hi gaia tes ian backs, &c. &c. Is was now Tate twilight, and in every direction was heard the cries of fathers for sons, sons for fathers, mothers for sons, and wives for husbands ; all running hither and thither amid the ruins, looking at this dead one, and that wourd- ed one, and following off this one and that one, as they were carried to some house to have their wounds dressed, or if dead, deposited until recogni- zed and taken by their friends. This was the state of things until ten o’clock, when I left. Sunpay Mornixa. I have just returned from the horrid scenes of last evening. Some four or five hundred poopie are now at work in removing the rubbish and looking for the dead. One poor fellow, just taken out, still breath- ing when first found, but expired soon after being extricated. I know not how many are dead. have been to see the bodies of Joseph Bonsell, Pre- sident of the White Water Canal Company—Mr. Edmands, pork merchant in Sycamore street—Ca- leb Tayler, dry goods merchant in Main street— with some of my neighbors. I am told that but six- teen have been dug out of the ruins dead; but the number of wounded I can give no account of, only that a are to be heard of in ‘every street in the city. The mail closes.

The arrangements and decorations are on a scale of un- exampled magnificence, and the array of dewy loveliness, and first buds of beauty and grace, will be overwhelming. A Brack or Cucumpers.—Mr. Samuel Wood has sent us a brace of cucumbers, raised by Mr. Edward Hobbs, of Paterson, N. J., the first we have seen, heard or thought of this season. Cu- cumbers and sleigh-rides are ideas not often asso- ciated together. Orders for early vegetables may be left at A. Smith’s, Seedsman, 388 Broadway. Sreampoat Accipent.—The St. Mathews, from Savannah for Florida, came in contact with the Sam Jones, in St. Catherine Sound, on the 25th ult., and immediately sunk. No lives lost. Tae Weatuer.—March has come in coldly and sharply, very much “like a lion.” In Boston, on the 4th, the mercury was down to 26°, Last year, on the same day, it was up to 70°, a difference easily felt. Tue Cuatnau.—Mr. Thorne brings owt a new play to-night at the Chatham, called the “ Colle- gians.” It is said to be a very curious dramatic performance. There has been great rivalry in bringing out this play, between Hamblin and Mr. Thorne, but as usual, where enterprize and activity are concerned, Mr. ‘Thorne has beaten his rival. There will be a full house to-night. Amenican Museum —Barnum brings out two new Diora ma’s this evening—the Deluge, and the Lady of the Lake the most sublime and beautiful ever produced at that esta blishment, ‘The vocal and instrumental strength has been increased, and the renowned banjo melodist, Jenkins, will appear in his best performances. The whole bill is of un- usual variety and excellence, even for Barnum’s. The Indians, detained by the sickness of their interpreter, will remain this week, and beseen in the day time. The melo- deon alone is worth two shillings, to see and hear. — THIS DAY PUBLISHED, ‘The American Edition of THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, anc WESTMINSTER REVIEW, for January.

Tue Last Vier —Morris Butterman, a laborer, and native of Ireland, aged 25 years, who has re- ided in the rear of 77 Roosevelt street, returned to his house on Saturday evening under the stupifying effects of liquor, and laid down on the bed with his wile without undressing himself. His wife awoke about two o’clock in the morning, and in endeavor- ingto move him, found to her utter astonishment and griet, that he had ceased to exist. The Coroner held an inquest on the body, and the Jury returned a verdict of ‘death from intemperance.” An “ Opp-Fentow” Burtep.—The stranger who died in the City Prison on Trareey night, having been sent there while under the effects of disease, not being able to tell bis name or place of abode, was buried by one of the Odd-Fellows’ Lodges in this city, in arespectable manner, the ensuing day. Tt is su his name was Matthew Christy, and that he had been a resident of Brownsville, Pa., from whence the Odd Fellow’s “ card,” found in his possession, was dated. Florida, {Correspondence of the Herald.} Port-Leon, Feb. 22, 1843. A Steamer Ashore—Indians Sea-sick—Amusements —Theatricals. James G. Bennett, Esq.— Since my last letter the public mind here has been much agitated by the rumor of the loss of the U.S. steamer William Gaston, which [am happy now to have it in my power to announce to you is safely moored in our waters. She left Port Leon the 28th inst. being on her pas- sage from Cedar Keys to New Orleans, with 52 fu- gitive Creek Indians, Pascova’s band being among them. This chief has been the cause of much trou- ble, and was the last to sisie to amicable overtures. The Gaston left PortjLeon as stated above on the 28th Jan., and had on board as ngers for New Orleans from this place, Daniel Ladd .. Messrs. Geo. W. and Wm. J. Martin, Mr. TR. Foster, of Boston. She went aground on the beach in a thick fog, on the evening of the 28th, near the mouth of the Oklocknee River, where she remained until the next night. She was enabled, by the high tide, to get off, and proceeded on her voyage. When off Pensacola, and 30 miles from land, she encountered a heavy gale, lost her rudder, and be- came perfectly unmanageable; spoke a barque, and by the assistance of the passengers and crew, was furnished with a temporary rudder, and ran into Pensacola on the 30th. From accounts given by those on board, the danger was imminent, and 80 much soas to render for the time being all hope of reaching land abortive. The Gaston cerved herself a most admirable seaboat, but for which she must have been a total loss. Lieut. Henry, Command- ant of the boat, together with his lady, servant and two children, were on board. : The Indians were, many of them, sea-sick, and others very much frightened. So much confusion oa board made it necessary to stow the savages for safe keeping, in the hold of the vessel, which came to be very nearly the means ef the destruction of the entire party. After placing them below, the hatches put down and secured, the place it was thought might be too close for the former free and roaming sons of the forest; accordingly orders were given to take off the hatches. When this was done, the natives were found nearly suffocated by the Thompsonian practice, viz. steaming. Some parts of the machinery being thrown out of repair from the violence of the sea, the steam from the boilers escaped from the apartment occupied by the sa- vages. The Government would have been saved some expense, at least, if the steamer had been de- layed but a few moments longer. ‘The steamer reached here on her return trip on the 2Ist, after an absence of 23 days. The appre- hensions concerning her safety being over, things now take the usual tenor of their way. ‘We have now in the city an agreeable source of amusement, of which N. Yorkers, be they where they may, should be the liberal patrons. I refer to the Mr. Hart, and a snes stock company, for the principal part, of Mrs. Hart, Finch, Monroe, Carter, Eau tet others, bave been playing in our theatre to rather indiffer- ent houses. the 18th inst. Mrs. , the popu- lar manageress, took a benefit, and was greeted by a large audience and tremendous applauee. _ This lady isa splendid actress, and vies with our Miss Cushmans and other northern favorities. Her Lady Gay, in ‘‘ London Assurance,” is capital, and brought down thunders of applause. Her success in comedy is also gratifying, and as a general favorite with Floridians, she hasno rival. Amiable, accom- lished, and beautiful, all who wituess her in the thos of her profession, or as the occupant of the drawing room, find her the same in her deportment. Mr. Finch is an actor of the first promise, and his rformances remind me of one of our New York Fivorites whose name for the present I must with- hold. Mr. F. in the Golden Farmer is excellent, so affecting is his manner of expression, and entering so feelingly into the part as to perfectly make it his own. Mr. Monroe, as Jemmy Twitcher, is admira- ble, and as far as originality is concerned, is supe- rior to the celebrated Sefton. John will find in Mr. M. a rival for his laurels. Mr. Hart is also a first rate performer in low comedy. Mrs. Hart, as Lady Randolph, in the tragedy of Douglars, is beyond praise. The part seems to be a favorite one with the lady, and is most splendidly pertormed. ‘The compan eed from this city in the bequtiful packet sloop “ Wm. H. Brundage,” just launched, and which sails for Apilachicola to-morrow, where they close the season, having performed alternately in Talahassee, Port Teon and Apalachicola, durin; the winter. We hope every success may atten them, and may they one and all meet with that re- ception they so mefitoriously deserve. The army movement in this part of Florida is ra- ther of an agreeable nature, being the concentration of the largest portion of the troops from East Flori- da, at Fort Stansbury, near this city, where they re- main a short time, preparatory (as it is rumored) to their final removal North or West. The 8d regi- ment of Infantry, consisting of nine companies, are now at the Fort, and will be visited by Col. ‘Worth in a few days. The Col. is now at Tampa Bay, and will be here probably next week, on his way to Stansbury. During his visit, the officers of the regiment intend giving ‘asplendid ball and sup- ver in honor of their guest ; and the array of beauty ‘rom the city of Tallahassee and the parts adjacent, will be dazzling indeed—so much 80, that your Ariel, in the pe.son of “ Henrico,” may be induced to be resent. It s0,expect an account of the festivities his day being the annivereary of the birth of the “Father of his Country,” all our vessels in port wore their fa esd ‘and celebrated the day according ‘o established usage. ¥ Yours, truly, Henrico. at Messrs.
