The mail-carrier on the north side of Long
Island, who arrived here yesterday, reports
that another passenger is save, from the ill
fated Lexington. His name is supposed to be
William A. Green, of Providence. 1t is re-
ported that he drifted ashore near River
head, 35 miles east of the wreck, after hav.
ing been two days and nights on bale of
cotton, and on reaching the shore walked
three-quarters of a mile'to house, where
hopes are entertained of his recovery. 1t
these be facts, his power Of endurance must
be astounding.
Many boxes and trunks and five bodies
had drifted ashore at Brookhaven, yesterday
noon.--Neac- Yorker.
From the NeU York American of Saturday
The Lerington.-The Postmaster at South
port, CT, writes that the bodies of Mr.. Hemp
stead, Of Brooklyn, first engineer, and of Ja-
cob Sanes, head waiter, had been picked up
and brought to that place.
Mr. Francis Dow arrived from Brookha-
ven last night, and brings the news tina, five
bodies had drifted ashore-Philo Epson, Of
Mass, two senmen, a child, young man,sup-
posed to be MIR. Dow. His face being COW
cred with ice, it was thought expedient 10
bring him to the city before removing il.
The report ola passengers having drifted
of Old Field Point, (s5 miles from the wrcck)
is confirmed. He had been two days and
nights on bale of cotton, and on reaching
the shore walked three quarters of mile to
a house. There he received every attention
"a physician was sent for, and there is good
reason to expect that the sufferer will recov-
er. He is from Providence, and is supposed
to be William A. Green, of the firm of Alfen
& Green. He has written a letter to his
mother, or some other friend at Providence.
His power of endurance is astonishing.
A quantity of baggage has floated ashore.
which we understand, has been brought TO
this morning with the bodies Of the unfortu-
nate sufferers. ... a...
We understand from source on which
we can rely, that the pilot, Capt. Manches-
ter, says. that shortly after the fire broke out
he went to the wheel house, got the wheel
hard up, and then the rope parted. it being
hide rope, connecting with the chain and
iron rods. He then sprang down to launch
the life boat, which was broken by the pad
dies, as has been already described.
A bale of cotton was his next resource, TO
which he found asrnan dashed. Finding, du-
the body loose, fearing that it might cause
the bale to turn over. Manchester was pick
ed up, dashed TO the bale, Senseless, and how
he came so dashed, he does not recoliect. hN5
Smith, one of the hands also saved, says,
he jumped overheard at about 8 o'clock and
swan to d cotton bale, AFTER floating on which,
five hours and a halt in the water, he got
