din ali 10 IDENTITY hm With certainty. Mr.
UIsoi had on lite ptcsorver, and a MANILA
rope around him. which appeared 20 have
been dashed io something and parted abou,
feet rom his body. A piece OF similar rope
was found fastened TO two doors which floiicd
ashore in the same vicinity. \ fur cap wa,
near HIM with memorandum IN it contain.
ing the name "Philo lpson," Capt. Com
stock thinks the two seamen did not bcloneto
the boat They are probably the two scamca
from the brig Raymond, mentioned in Oh,
list.
The report OF passengers having drNed
ashore near River Head, about 20 miles cast
OF Old Field Point is confirmed. lie had
been two days and nights on bale of cotton.
and on reaching the shore walked three quar-
tcrs of a mile TO house. There ho received
every attention, physician was sent for, and
there is reason TO expect that the sufferer will
recover. He is from Providence and is son
posed to be VIM. A Green, of the firm of A.
len d Green, lie has written to his mother
or some other friend at Providence. His pow
or ol endurance is astonishing.
The steamboat Statesman arrived nj Cd
Field early IN the forenoon Yesterday from
Bridgeport, and after taking in the bodies a.
bovo mentioned, intended TO proceed eastward
as far rs Rverhcad, and to leave about aark
for this city She had not arrived when our
paper went TO press.
About 80 chests and trunks had come ashore
at different points on the Long Island shore
chiefly in the vicinity Of Old Field Point.
Pieces of wreck aud fragments of baggage.
&c, were TO be met with al short intervals
along the shore. Among other things was
/ ladys hat.
Mr. ID. states that at one time the burning
/ boat was within mile and n half Of the l.. +
shore but probably from the tller chains CIV.
! ing way, she soon rapidly receded. A boat
put out from the shore at one time, and rowed
two or three miles, but finding the Lexington
was increasing her distance returned Ii wa,
low tide. and sloops and schooners could not
| be got out. Some of the inhabitants say thew
heard two explosions in the night which thrg
now suppose 10 have been caused by the bun,
ting of the boilers.
We are panied TO say there is too much truth
I in the story mentioned above, Of a sloop pas,
ing near the burning boat, and not stopping to
render assistance. We have the name of Oh.
vessel and ca Nain bui withhold them until we
