II, before The wheel dashed to pieces and
lost; aud quarter boats were lowered. foil
Of passengers, probably bows6rsi. when the
boat was gong =, nesssndous rate, and VI
course instantly s~aI,ped- That there
was bad management, or rather no man
sgcment, is very evident. But il is idle and
useless to speculate upon results, when the
circursiances are imperf.ctly understood.
In our opinion the greatest cri,ninoiiiy is
attributable to the agents and wners of the
boat, for crowding her so full Of freight that
there could not possibly have been room G.
noush to allow any efficient exertIons to be
made to exlinguish ERE, if once we'll un-
der way, and for placing highly combusti-
bic materials where they knew there was
great danger of their isnilion.' Such is the
opinion expressed BY most of the New-York
aud Boston Journals, and much Indignation
has been elected by the facts they nave dis
closed.
We copy from the New York Evening
Tauler, their remarks upon this subject.
Our. readers will bear US witness that we
have, from the first, been very decided and con
slant in warning tho public against this Monop-
oily Line across the Sound. They have nov a
most appalling vindica,ion of the trsth Of our
warnings. The Lexington, we know, was. in
all respects. most dangerous and unssa-worthy
vessel. The very last trip she made. anterior
to this fatal one. some cotton merchandise was
set on fire by being packed in precisely the
same place as that which the bales Of cotton
occupied, 10 this disastrous voyage. The base
of the smoke pipe, where il came in contact
with the deck, Ion which the goods we're pack
sd,) was cs.ed with wood and it was but a
very few days ago. that a gentleman of this
city. who was going to Boston in the Lexiug-
ton said to the Captain that he was glad TO see
that coal was used on board that boat. as sparks
from wood would be dangerous, with so u,uc h
cotton on board. The Captains reply was to
this effect that the coal made very powerful
fire, FREQUENTLY HEATING THE sMoKE-PIPE
RED-HoT, TEr FnrT ABOVE THE DECK!
The policy Of the owners Of this line has
been to save thrir best boats, during this wintry
season, and to put their two oldest and worst
vessels upon that dangerous passage. These
they have sent off on every other day, laden
deeply with vast masses Of eonibustbls freight.
and hundreds Of fpassengens-thus carolessly and
recklessiy trifipg With human life. We hope
that the aggregation Of SO many proofs, will
have convinced tho travelling public. by this
time, Of the danger Of trusting their lives and
those Of their kindred and friends. to the tender
msrcies Of money making monopoly.

APPALLING CALAMITY.

STEAM BOAT LEXINGTON DESTROYED
BY FIRE. AND NEARLY TWO HUN
DRED LIVES LOST.
The Lexingtou left New York for Stonning-
ton en- Monday. at 3 o'clock, p. NJ. having, it
is believed, about one hundred and fifty pssseu-
gers. large quantity Of cotton was placed
upon her decks, Az o'clock, when about tw o
miles from EatoD's Meek, the cotton took fire
near the smoke pipe. ,. n, 20, L-,
The boat was headed for the shore as soon
as the efforts 10 sxtinguish the fire proved un-
successful. She was provided with three boats,
ye, such vas tho panic which toot possession
Of all minds. that they we're hoisted out while
the boat was still under headwsy aud hume
distely swamped.
The engine a few minute, after gave way,
leaving her utterly unmanagoable. The scene
which then ensued is described as most appsll-
ing.
Captain Chester Hilsrd. Of Norwich, pas
sesgsr on board from whom We have gathered
these few particulars, states that soon after the
engine stopped. the passengers began to leave
the boat on boxes, bales, &c.
In company with one Of the fireman be was
SO fortunate as tr secure a cotton bale, TO which
he lashed himself. he remained upon this
bale, the wind blowing off Long Island, until
IL o'clock this morning, when he was taken up
by the sloop Merchant, Of Southport.
His companion in the meantime had been
released by death from his suiIenogs. Two
others were taken up by the sloop. fireman
and the Pilot Of the boat. Both were nearly
inssnsibls. II is surprising that any should
hsve survived the exposure.
There 10 too much reason 10 fear that the
three are the only survivors. IL is however
possible. that others may have been saved.
The boat driftsd up the sound with the tide.
and was off this harbor about midnight. Cap
tain II. states that she sunk about three o'clock,
as he marked the time by his watch.
We learn that boat which succeeded in get
ting ont Of Southport harbor, after reaehin: the
middle OF the Sound. was compelled to return,
The account which We have given Of this aw-
ful catastrophe, is exceedingly imperfect. IL
may be well imagined that our informant is
hardly in 4 situation TO furnish many details.
The scene on board was awful beyond de-
seription. The fire being midway Of the boat.

From the New Haven Herald.

The fire was discovered little after clock,
under 4 tier Of cotton bales piled amidshiPs. a
gainst the wooden box or frame which enclos-
ed the pipe leading from the 6rs-room below
the boat having her boiler on her kelson, OF
under deck. This pipe led through the freight
above, aud the iguition Of the cotton had be-
come 30 extensive before the fire engine and
hose Of the boa, could be put in operation, tha,
both cre- and passengers were 60 overwhelmed
by smoke aud the natural agitation Of the mo-
rnent that all efforts to subdue the FIRE were un-
availing.
The Lexington is supposed to have been
by Capt. Childs, with the crew be-
fore employed in the Nauasa sansstt. tussriyl all
oi whom psrished with the passengers. We
also learn that there were but 5 or ladies on
board, one Of whom was seen in the wafer With
\ dead infant at her breast.
