CROSBY'S HOTEL.
Many persons remember the queer building with its high wooden stoop that stood on the corner of South Pearl and Beaver streets, known as Crosby's Hotel. A great many curious incidents transpired there before it burnt down; and the Clinton Hotel rose upon its ruins. Among them is the following: "Some time between 1820 and 1825, when Mexican revolutions were frequent, Don Lorenzo de Zavala, governor of the city of Mexico, left his country for state reasons, and spent two or three years in the United States, during which time he wrote a history of his travels in this country, which was highly spoken of for its impartiality and correctness. During a short stay at Albany he met, and became enamored with, Miss Amanda West, of Westerlo, who, at the time, was at service with Mrs. Crosby. She was a beau- tiful and intelligent girl, read romances a good deal, and frequently expressed a strong presentiment that she would one day be elevated to a high position in life. Zavala married her, and took her with him to Mexico, on the success of his party in a new revolution. He was after- wards sent to France as Mexican minister, when his beau- tiful Helderberg wife, with the aid of a French teacher, received some addition to a good country school educa- tion. On a subsequent visit to this country, Zavala realized a large fortune in the sale of Texas lands, and finally settled on a rich plantation on the Rio Trinidad, where he afterwards died, leaving his widow with four children. A fine river in Texas now bears his name. Mrs. Zavala's mother, previous to the first visit of the Don to this country, married a second husband, a German named Laupaugh, in Westerlo,

EXAMINATIONS AT
COURT OF INQUIRY AT ALBANY.
[From New York Colonial History, vol. vi, p. 374.]
At the Fort at Albany 11th December 1745.
Whereas. Captain John Rutheford having applyed to me for a Court of Enquiry relating to the condition of the Fort at Saraghtoga, before and at that time, when the Detachment was recalled. I summoned the following Officers, who were present, Vizt.
Captain Hubert Marshall. President.
Captain Thomas Clark
Lieut : John Lindsay
Lieutenants John Marshall and Stephen Eastwick.
Lieut Edmund Blood, declared to us that he was pre- sent there, when his Excellency ordered a party: vizt a Sergeant, a Corporal and ten Private men to be posted in the Fort at Saraghtoga, upon these express conditions, that the Gentlemen of Albany (at whose desire he sent them) should immediately put the said Fort in good re- pair, also to make a Well and Oven; that His Excellency ordered him, in case these things were not done accord- ingly to withdraw the Men he having sufficient proof that there was neither Well nor Oven made, many other ne- cessary reparations not complyed with he would have re- called the Men long before they were, if Captain Ruthe- ford had not been here, and that he often advised Cap- tain Rutheford to recall that Detachment before he did it.
Sergeant Convers, who commanded the above party being on duty at this time at Fort Hunter, the Corporal to the said party was called in and examined on oath; declared that he was Corporal at Saraghtoga and came

down with the Men when recalled, that there was neither Well nor Oven in the Garrison, the Floors above never laid, except the Floor in one of the Block houses, that the Roofs of none of the Block houses were made tight, and that they neither could keep themselves or arms ettc. dry when it rained; that their powder was at last dam- aged notwithstanding they took the greatest care to pre- serve it.
David Mahany Soldier being sworn, declared : he was one of the party at Saraghtoga; that the Roofs in all the Block houses were leaky, no floors laid above or below, except the Floor in one Block house and that, considerably damaged by the rain, no Well or Oven in the Fort.
William Schaw Soldier, being sworn, declared : as above that when it rained they could not keep their arms, amunition or clothes drye, and in no way could shelter themselves from the weather.
Benjamin Schaw Soldier, being sworn declared as above and that most of the Soldiers, who had been on that party were attending at the door, ready as they said to swear to the same purpose, ette But we thought the proofs so plain, as to need no further evidence.
Captain Rutherford declared, that he had often applyed to Coll. Schuyler and to the Commissioners for Indian Af- fairs ettc, and told him that he had every day complaints from the Men posted at Saraghtoga of the hardships they suffered there, and if they would not repair the Fort as they had promised, he would be obliged according to his Excellency's order to withdraw the Men ; that he repeated this again and again, and nothing done; he accordingly recalled the party agreable to his orders.
Sergeant Convers who commanded the party had often begged to be degraded to a private Centinel, and that he had lost two of his best Men, by desertion, being assured by his companions that the hardships they suffered at Saraghtoga induced them to desert the service.
