The captain of the Northern Belle writes to the 71Mset
:
"The ship and the cargo under my charge are the property
of others, and, at the expense of my bettor beelines, it se for
them Ant I have been anxious, and it is my duty to do all I
can. This feeling, which also actuated me to stick by my
unfortunate ship to the last, and until all hope of doing any
good was gone, hen kept me back from sorer expresathg
that 'petits& which ham never for ono moment moped my
mind, and it must not be inferred from ray Ulmer. that I
am not mindful of the great and noble services which have
been rendered to me in the distressing situation in which I
was placed. No one can more completely appreciate—and 1
' am ewe no one can more admire—the noble bravery and the
high humanity of those men who came out in that terrific
gale to resew me and my crew from a watery grave at the
tremendous dale of that fate to themselves. I am, and we
lan are, meat thankful to them, and it was with heartfelt
=defection I heard Immediately from my agents, Messrs.
Windier, Brothers, that they would take all are in their
power that they should not go unrewarded, so far as this
world's good fouling towards sock conduct as theirr maid be
strained. I rejoice to me that other kind petseas, as also

sera, from the Ideidneas and sympathy I have myself m-
odeled at all hands, that theme bravo men will not be neg-
lected in this country, se I know they will not be in my own,
America. I have requested my agents (Messrs. Windier.
Brothers, 115, Leadenhall-senet) to place DX for me to this
fund which they hope to raise. I trust you will assist to
call attention to it, and I would ask every one who ran spare
• mite to add it for the beniftof those men who, under Ood's
blaming and under each perilous and trying eircvmatancee,
haveisaved the Urea et the captain and crew of the Nottbern
