Celebration Of the Ah,h-pay 81 Henry Clay.

1s 49,
The anniversary of The Birthday of the
Great Gemmoner = was celebrated on the oc-
oasion OF its last annual return, by his adj
mirers in Memphis
The third toast, "The Memory of Henry
Clay" was responded to by Samuel Carpenter,
IN the following speech {:
GkNTl.EMEN: In responding to the call
which has been made upon me, | assure you
That it is with great diffidence / comply; not
that do not love and venerate and cherish the
memory OF that great man, The anniversary of
whose birthday we now celebrate, but because
! feel it difficult to say any thing worthy Of
my theme Or the dignity Of the subject. There
a peculiar fitness and propriety in all Of the
Of America, without distinction Of creed
or party, in celebrating this day, with speech
and toast, and song but to the small band
who hail from Kentucky, the home and the
grave Of the great departed, and who have
cast their lot in your uprising and beautiful
city, on the banks Of the Father Of Floods. II
is a patriotic and pious duty. From cur
we have lisped his name, and listened
70 the recital Of his great deeds, until the very
mention of Clay causes a springing Of the
blood and a beating of the heart. 10 millions
Of patriotic hearts his name is as a ~rollying

Burning Of the Steamer Galeaa. ---From Capt.
Laughton of the Galena, we learn the particu-
lars of this sad calamity. She took fire while
landing at Red Wing, and as the wind was
fresh at the time, was soon mass of fire.
The fire originated around the smoke stacks
and spread with such rapidity that the baggage
and clothing of the passengers was iost,toge,h-
er with all the mails and also the books of the
steamer, so that it is not known how many lives
were lost, but the following are supposed to be
all, viz: Mrs. Polly Porter, Miss Nancy Porter,
Charles Porter, (boy), Lydia Porter, Gall OF
Michigan, and John Tyson.
We are assured that every exertion was
made by the officers to save life ard property
but being in the night, one o'clock, not much
chance was given to do either. The loss of the
boat is estimated at from $4,000 to SIS, 900.
No insurance.

A Good Girl.-On Friday evening last Mr.
F. TaRBLE, of Boston, put up at the AMERICAN
Having some business at Prairie du Chen he
crossed the river and while over there missed
his pocket book containing large amount oil
money. He fastened back to the American,
went to his room, examined the bed and found
no trace of the treasure. He then called on
Harding and Church, the proprietor and clerk,
to assist him in finding it. They went with
him to the room and on looking between the
feather bed and the straw tick, they found the
pockct-book and its contents all right. The
chambermaid said she saw it and intended to
report it to the clerk, but as she was about
finishing the cleaning up of the room, some one
