fore, put up with the rest of the property. The
building itself is very plain, uupretending struc-

localities on the banks Of the Hudson. Erected on
the brow Of o hill it commands magnificent view
of the river and its scenery to the distance oftwanty
or thirty miles, while in its immediate vicinity arc
Tarry town and other places celebrated by their as
ISOLATION with the war OF the Revolution. The
house itself Is almost concealed by the trees
which cluster around it., and the laad u
laid out with admirable taste. There are
altogether eight acres, which were pre- Gated I
Mrs. Schuyler about ten years ago by her father,
Colonel Hamilton, whose farm, numbering three
hundred acres, Immediately adjoins that of his

MoRRrcHns, L. l., July IL, 1854.
There is now fifteen feet Of water in the ship, and
she is badly bilged and hogged. From present ap-
pearances, there 10 very little hope Of saving the
ship. We are directing our whole attention to the
cargo. We want no more lighters outside: We want
centre board vessels, not to draw over four and a
half feet loaded, to come in at Fie Island, and 80
up the bay. We have o large quantity Of goods, in
good order, waiting for inside lighters. There is too
much surf on to ship them outside.
