Captain Creightons noble conduct was in the
mouth of everybody, and general desire was ex-
pressed 10 meet him on change and shake him by
the hand. The conduct of Captain Watkins and
his officers, as we'll as the cool and brave course
of the United States army officers, was also highly
commended. During the meeting Captain Cregh-
ton was loudly called for, and had he appeared on
the stand he would have been loudly and enthnsi-
asticaly cheered.
Mr.. Mellus, the mate OF the San Francisco, at
the conclusion of the meeting, got as far as the
portico OF the Exchange, and was Immediately
surrounded, warmly shaken by the hand, and cor
daily congratulated on his escape from destruction.
Mr.. John Aspinwall. was also on change. He
stated, as well as Mr.. Mellus, that Captain Wat
kins did not scuttle the ship, and there was
scarcely doubt but she went down in less than
twenty-four hours after she was abandoned.

YORK, JAN 15.-The steam tug Titan has arrived
up from the ship Lucy Thompson, which remains
below, bringing nearly all the passengers taken
from the San Francisco by the bark kilby, and not

They suffered greatly on the Kilby for want OF
provisions and water, and had it not been that a
portion of the cargo consisted of corn, and that
they were furnished with plenty of fresh water
by the abundant falls Of rain, they must have
persisted. The Kiby has probably been blown TO
sea again by the violent northwest gale which
commenced yesterday.
