Journal of Commerce -
1t is n source OF satisfaction 10 know
that the damage by the burning of tbs
noble vessel is considerably less than
was at first supposed. She was got
atloat Oh Tuesday morning. This was
accompanied by building temporary
stern, (rhat part Of the vessel having
been burnt away) and enclosing the
whole after part OF the hull, which was
deepeu in the water, in canvas to stop
the leaks. Five steam pumps .were
then put aboard, and the twelve feet Of
water in her were exhausted at the rate
Of one foot per hour. Only about one
third Of the cargo was touched bv fire,
leaving at least three thousand tons,
damaged by waller. in the two lower
holds. Those decks occupy about "a
feet from the keel upward, aud that
part OF the vessel, which includes al!
below copper, is in a soand condition;
SD that her late commander, Capt
Mckay, yesterday remarked that she
might YET be made into as fine a steam
er as foa's. Ths two upper decks
(the promenade and spar,) are wholly
gone, with the tmbers but IA large
quantity OF cargo slowed N that part OF
the vessel. cotton, grain, rosin, &C.. are
IN course OF removal. Hail IA dozen
schooner loads have aireany been TAX

aud he gave the usual country signal
that he wanted somebody,in the house.
by dropping the rens, and sitting dou-
BILE, with his elbows on his kness. Out
trpped the widow, lively as cricket
with IL tremendous black ribbon in her
snow white cap. Good morning wac
soon said on both sides, and The widow
waited Tor what more was TO be said.
well, Ma'am Jones, perhaps you
don't want to sell one OF yonr cows,
no how, for nothing, any way, do
you2'

Deacon Smith looked at Roen then a;
the widow--at Brindl@-then al the
wsdow--a, the Downing cow-and at
the wilcw again-and so through the
whole forty. The same call was made
every day for week, but the Deacon
could not decide which COW lie wanted.
Al length, OF Saturday, when Widow
jones was IN hurry 10 get through her
baking Tor Suuday--and had ever So
much TO do IN the house, DIS all farmers'
wives and widows have on Saturday,
she was Iilile impatient. Deacon
Smith was as irresolute az ever.
'Tha, 'ere Downing COW is pretty

walked round her not the widow, but
the COW.

no, bad looking beast, but don't

si !hed at the alIusion TO tho late Mr..

e,ch other. 1t VS. highly interesting
moment:

better A long stare succeeded this
speech, the pause was getung awk-

want, do say so J
The intentions OF the Deacon and the
widow Jones were duly published the
next day and as eonI as they wers
