O. A CARD.-Mr. Isaac X. Dustan, OF
the steamboat Lexington, through this source
conveys to Col. y. Rivers and VIM. J. Til
ley, Esq, the Chairman and Secretary of a
meeting Of The passengers on board the Lex.
ington, on the night Of the 18th inst, Oct.
1896, and to tho passengers individually, his
thanks for their notice Of his excrtions on
board the steam boat that night-whch he
considered no more than his duty. Mr.. Dus-
tan also thanks them for the splendid Watch
and Pin presented him by the committee,
through Col. Rivers.
Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1842-01-20

We insert below the resolutions that
were passed on board the Lexington, in
Oct. 1886, respecting the noble conduct
of Capt. Dustan, and communication
also, which more particularly explains
the facts as they existed on the dreadful
night alluded to-both which (resolu-
tions and communication) we are con-
vinced contain nothing more than Capt.
ID. is deserving Of. The little acquaint-
ance we have had with him, satisfies US
that he is well qualified for the station
he fills. as skilful and attentive com
mander-and we do not doubt, il he
continues to run in these waters, that
he will be literally patronised, and gain
tho esteem Of all his fellow travellers.
From the N. Y. Mercantile Advertiser.

A correspondent inyesterday's Rhode
Islander, signing himself ".4 Freeman,
misintcrprets altogether the article ir
our last, respecting. the Government OF
the Newport Asylum. We did not say
that tho system was so intricate that
nine out of ten could not understand it.
We meant to convey tho idea, and we
believe We did sufficiently plain for
most people to understand it, that ex-
cep,ing those who had served as COM
missioncrs, and had become conversant
by long experience and close attention
to their duties, with the government OF
the establishment-in all its minutia-
there was scarcely one in a hundred
that was not ignorant Of it. The wri-
ter's sneer about the "learned editor, u
and his inuendoas respecting "some
kind Of moremehts" and "moiires are
so much in keeping with his liberal mind,
that we pass over them with the con-
tempt they deserve.
BY the way, if the editor Of the Rhode
Islander will hereafter insert said wri.
ter's communications rerbaiim. withou
dressing up his words or ideas, as We
are certain he must have done, he vii
escape the censure Of assisting a preju
diced if not ignorant calumniator, tc
abuse honest men.
