A Faporite Of F'ortune.-Among the
passengers that arrived at New York by
the Hibernia, is Sir Stephen Holt, Of Red
grove Hall. England. 1t will be recol-
lected that this gentleman was the original
proprietor Of Holt's Hotel, New York,
who, by a concurrence Of fortunate cir
cumstances, became the heir to a title and
large landed estates in England. Some
members Of his family,swe are informed,
reside in this city and its vicinity. We
hope that he and his may long live to en-
Joy the handsome fortune, estimated at
several millions of dollars, which has sud-
denly fallen to him.-Pi cayuns. ga

The Creyasse and the Committee
Capt. Grant arrived in town this morning
from the erevasse, having abandoned the
works. A full meeting of the committee
was held at IL O'Clock at the Office of the
Mayor. Capt. Grant being in attendance.
Capt. G. made some remarks, assuming
the entire responsibility Of the failure, and
explaining the causes of the same. He
stated that the present works cannot pos
sibIy be made sufficiently strong to resist
the water, and that if he had gone far
enough back in the fieldsto get a firm foun-
he would have been obliged to make
of at least.a thousand feet in ex-
tent. He says that as the works were ex~
tended the water of courseb became deeper
in front and receded fromthe rear, coming
against the pi!ing with such force that
it was gradually giving way, and that he
knew when the works did go, if the men
we're employed about them, there would
BEL loss of fife; therefore he had abandon
ed them. r .gy%wg ~ z.x
A large number Of. plans for stopping
the crevasse were brought in and submit
ted to the committee this morning, and af-
ter considerable discussion a sub-com-
mittee was appointed to examine and re-
port upon them:-Pieayune, 31st.

Lepretre's plantation, about ten miles

The planters, however, in the vicinity of
the monster, have gone manfulIy to work,
to arrest the progress OF the torrent; and
having no city authorities to interfere
with them, they are confident Of stopping
