THE GRAMpus--In the minds of mos
people who have noted the subject, the
last ray Of hope for the United States
schooner Grumpus is now eXtin-
guished ; it is more than five months
since she was last heard of, and
from her situation at thet time, and
the tremendous gales that soon fol-
lowed, we cannot entertain the
slightest hopes of her safety. She
has no doubt been overwhelmed and
lost, with her seventy-seven souls,
as were the unfortunate Hornet,
President, and other noble craft be-
fore her. We can but. sympathize
with the bereaved ones, whose faith
ers, sons, brothers or friends, have
gone down with her.-Phaladclphia

The HIBERN1A.-This splendid
steamer, which lately made her fist
voyage TO Boston from England, is
now acknowledged to be without a
rival in point Of speed. Her last
voyage to Liverpool was made in
the incredible short space ofless than
nine days! The success of steaming
on the ocean can no longer be con-
sidered doubtful. Since the older
boats commenced, several improve
ments have been suggested, which
were introduced into the construc-
ton of the Hibernia, and the result
is most encouraging.
Wreck OF THE LExlNGToN.-We
understand that a private letter from
Mr.. Nj. w. Davis of this vicinity,
who has been some time engaged,
in the effort to raise the steamer
Lexington in Long Island sound,
states that they have at last succeed
ed, and that the hull has been raised
and is now atloat. The particulars
will probably be published hereat-
Ter, though we do not learn that any
thing valuable has been recovered.
