VICTIMS OF THE LATE FIRE.-Ths
clerk of the steamer Embassy, which boat
left this port onthe day after the great FIRE,
informs the Louisville Democrat that thew
"passed several dead bodies floating in The
river, blackened and Scared BY the awful
fire of the l7h." On the same authority
it is estimated also, that from one hundred
to two hundred and fifty persons lost their
lives by the fire. The latter, we Judge,
is greatly exaggerated. That many per-
sons persisted on board the steamers, il
quite likely, bnt not TO the number stated.
Thus far, four bodies only have been re-
covered from the fallen walls Of buildings,
and five only are known to have been
killed---leaving out Of the calculation those
bodies mentioned by the clerk Of the En-
bassy.-6 Louis Union.

From the N. o. Picayuns Of the 10th.
Heath NJ ~ nj Gen. Worth.


With inexpressible pain we are called
upon 10 announce the death Of Major Gen.
eral Worth. The news, 50 sudden and
appalling, reached town last night by the
Portland. II was communicated TO us in
the following letter from Maj. Deas.:
Assn AD,'r Gen., o'rice, eth DEsT,
San Antonio de Bexar, Texas May Z, 1s49.S
Editors Picnyune, | have to announce
to you, for public information, the death
of Major Gen. Worth, who expired to-day
at r. N. Of cholera.
make the above announcement, in or
der to set aside all doubt as to this melan-
choly event.
Respectfully, your obedt servant,
GEO. IDEAS, Asst Adjt Gen.
I, is not for us to write tine eulogy of
the gallant soldier who now sleeps in
death. For thirty six years he has served
his country in the army; and his gallant
deeds are portion of the common glories
Of the republic. A friend, who was with
him at his death, himself a soldier, has adj
dressed to us these few lines:
SAN ANTONIO, May Z, l849.
.Ny dear--: 1t is with feelings of the
deepest regret have to announce to you
the death Of Brevet Major Gen. w. j.
Worth. He died to-day about / p. M
He was attacked last evening with cholera
Of most virulent type, defying the very
best medical skill.
1t is a very sad event, one Of over
whelming grief to his dear family, and OF
sincere regret 10 large circle Of admiring
friends. Worth had his faults-we all
have but none can deny him the honor OF
being gallant and whole-souled soldier,
one who threw his every energy, his whole
heart into the performance of his duties.
In this hasty announcement, nothing like
any notice can be taken Of his eminent
services. He died as he lived, true SOL
der, conscious to the last, surrounded by
his broken hearted wife and children, and
by his military staff and other friends
MAY his march to the great hunting ground
meet with no impeachment. Yours truly.
e*s DE p*.
1t is only yesterday, as it were, that
Gen. Worth left this city. Immediately
before he left he complained Of illness
and his departure was delayed one day in
consequence. Prior to that illness, he ap.
peared to us in vigorous health, and seem.
ed the picture of manly, intellectual beau
ty--a proud and high spirited SOLDIER
Those who have seen him in action assure
US that language cannot do justice TO his
noble bearing in the field, his eagle eye
elancing fire, and his whole countenance
Jeaming with intelligence and proud def.
ance. Alas how speedily are all his no.
Die traits quenched in death. To survive
the perils Of hundred battles, and to be
carried off in the maturity of strength by
disease, seem hard fate for SOLDIER
The ways of Providence are indeed in
scrutable.

We are happy to be able to state that no dcsths
from cholera have occurred in this town since our
report OF last week. The country people are be-
ginning to find out the falsity Of the exaggerated
statements they have heard in their neighborhoods
and are visiting the town a. usual. Our merchants
have good stocks on hand and we hope by keeping
our streets well cleaned and lined, and properly
recognizing the goodness Of God in averting the
pesilence, we shall yet escape the serious ravages

We think the theatrical mob in New York, with
