(NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE

NEW YORK, March II, l843.
Engagements and employments that could not be
neglected or set aside have caused suspension in
this correspondence for two three weeks II is
now resumed, and will not | trust be again inter
rupted, till the close Of that year to which it looks
for the consummation Of those great and patriotic
objects which the Administration holds in steady
contemplation
indulge these predatory remarks in justice to my
self, and for the purpose Of adding, that If any ore
has magined--and some have boosted of the assumed
iact--that have been driven from my post, your
New York correspondent, by the abuse that he has
hcaped upon me, he has SUFFERED himself to be led
into am not to be diverted from my di-
ty by calumny and abuse, and Lying varets" will
vet be satisfied of the correctness Of the assertion
| A violent hurricane visited us last night, accompa-
n ed by most furious storm Of snow. The earth is
now covered some fifteen inches with snow, and eve
nv thing around and about us indicates that winter
may by and by be found
-" lingering in the lap Of May"
The steamer Great Western sailed for England
yesterday afternoon at o'clock; but am happy to
learn that she did not put to | am informed
that she proceeded as far as Sandy Hook, when the
storm and the night coming on, she put back and al
chored in the lower bay, where she remained till this
morning, when she put to before strong wester
ly gale. 1t is well she put back for loaded as she
was to the bends with her supply of COAL doubt if
she could have survived the gale, and worked off a
lea Shore whilst hurricane piled from the northeast.
1t is npprehended that much damage has been
DONE and many vessels have been lost on the coast.
A large fleet of vessels was known 10 be between
East Hampton and Chinquoteague shoals the day be-
fore yesterday, turned to New York and Philadel-
phia many Of which could not get in, and were I'M
doubleday left to grappe with the gale on lea
shore Some fearful tales of the sea-, it is feared
remain to be told.
In this city considerable damage was done, and
some houses were blown down. lament to say that
it is reported that building was Frustrated in Car
mine street, and widow and or two Of her off
spring killed. The report may be an exagge-
ration. / hope it is most sincerely. The Hon. MIR.
Cushing. am informed, left here yesterday for his
home If he consents 10 be candidate for Congress,
he W i'll undoubtedly be elected.
That gallant friend of the Administration, the
Hon. Henry A. Wise, it cannot be doubted, will be
triumpbantly elected; and, with Mr. Gushing, will
in the next Congress- not only vndicate himself and
show those who elected him that Virginia is not in
capable Of approaching his talents, his patriotism,
and his worth. Virginia will do justice to the
blest of her most distinguished sons.
! have not, to-day, any news of consequence to
communicate. The city is very quiet, and as it is
enshrouded in snow it is perfectly COOL We shall
not get eastern mail to-day; and therefore it viii
not be necessary for me to wait till the last moment
allowed by the Post Office Department for the acqu
sition Of news. Yours truly
NECKAR INNEw YORK.
