Philadelphia Familt Lost—We arc pained to hear it rumored, that the wife and family of JImsel JAans.-Esq. late of this city, were among : the number of sufferers. The information was derived, by arrivals letter, which reached this city this triorning. Wo trust it may prove untrue. . . ■ i * In addition to the aboverwh give thb following, in an extra from a Bridgeport paper. /, ■ f Our citizens were alarmed on Monday evenings. by the appearaflee of a great light at ) some distance west, on the Sound, which was generally believed to be a steamboat on'fire. 'Nothing conclusive, however, was heard in regard to it till vbo arrival of our boat from New York* on Tuesday afternoon, which brought the melancholy intelligence that the light was occasioned by the conflagration of the Steamboat Lexington, which vyas entirely destroyed, and that all on board except three perished. One of the survivors, Capt. Hilliard, of Norwich,this State, whom we have seen and convened with, came ou here in the boat. . •' • * 1 The Lexington left New York at 3 o’clock, P. M. for Stoniogton. About half past 7 o'clock, | when off Eaton's Neck, L. I„ the wood work casings dec, about the flues, was discovered to be onfiro. 'An alarm was immediately given, and all efforts to subdue the flames proving unavailing, the pilot headed the boat directly, for Long Island shore. In abbot fifteen minutes it I was found the! tiller ropes were burnv.in two, and tta'lmt consequently unmanageable.. The engine, however, kept in operation, under a heavy! bead of steam. The' three small boats wefo got out with all possiblo haste, but they swamped soon: after .they struck whaler, inconsequence of tbe‘speed at wbteh-tbo steamer was going towards the shore. A life boat, which was aboard, was alio launched, but.by some means was in’a few! minutes’unfortunately'lost. No relief, therefore,' was obtained from either of the boats. When ! the Lexington had got within fdibut two miles of the shore, her engine suddeny slopped. .All hopes of to those on board, except by clinging to such articles of freight as would sustain them, wore now cut off. The freight of the Lexington consisted principally of cotton, on : which some' of the passengers tried to saye themselves, but nonb succeeded except Capt. Hilliard'/and a fellow passenger, both of whom got. astridp of a single bile on which they kept together till 6 o'clock in the morning, when the strengthot Capt. Hilliard’scorapanion failed him, and ho fell of and was drowned. . Capt. *11. continued upon his bale of cotton lilt 11 o’clock, AVAL, Tuesday, when lie wpa taken off by a sloop, which went out from Southport, having been thus exposed about 16'hour*. Two others, clfnging to a fragment of the boat, were also rescued by this'sloop; one the engineer; the other a fire my n of the! unfortunate boat. "The bodies of two others, one a colored woman, were likewise taken from a part of the wreck, on which they had perished from cold. * The number on board, Capi. H. thinkg, was not.less than 175, 'of whom 150 were passengers, out of wliicb,'he believes himself to btf the only one saved. Among the number, were five or six women, and two or three children. The scene on board was awful beyond description. The fire being midway of the boat, cut' off all communication from qne end to the other.—The passengers crowded together In tho bo\v and stecn, moaning and bewailing their, fate, till compelled to cast themselves into the deep, to escape the flames'. Wo particulars frightful.enough to appal .the stoutest heart, although imperfectly detailed. One account says that thqfire was discovered under a tier of cotton balsa, piled amidehip, against the wooden boi'or ftatne which enclosed the pipe leading from the firs room below, this boat having her boiler oh her kelson deck.— This .pipe lead through the freight above, and tbo ignition of the cotton bad become so extensive before the fire engine and hose of the boat could be put in operation, that both crew and passengers were so overwhelmed in. smoke, and the natural agitation of the moment, that all efforts to subdue the fire were unavailable. A nub wae then made for the boats—but in the:agitation of the time,they were filled to overflowing, and were swamped alongside of the burning boat. Ho far as we can learn not a son! but the three above were saved. The deaths of the sufferers were awful—firel waterhfrost and cold! ,Uh God! Oh Godl, can. human imagination picturp a’death more horrible! * i The Lexington had $60,000 in specie on board; $16,000 of ibis was: owned by the Merchants* bank of Boston. She was insured against fire, $10,000 jn the Eagle office, and $10,000 in the North AraerX&n. We ate told that this boat bad been condemned, some months since, as uneer.wortby, but the company insisted on running her. When she come on last Friday, sbe took fire, and the passengers never expected to reach New York alive; and yet she was sent on snothv er trip, crowded with freight and passengers, unseaworthy, with tiller ropes.and unskilful men, and she has been destroyed by fire, with 100 precious lives.
