It is upward of twenty-five years since the latter resided at the above mentioned place, and we are informed by a friend who lately visited it, that the once elegant mansion of the successful projector of steam navigation is now rapidly falling into decay.

He is now possessed of a yery handsome competency.--N. Y. Com. Advert. July, 1851.
