MELANCHOLY STATEMENT.
The following account of the distressed
situation of the Brig Three Sisters, of this
port, we have been perm tted to copy from
litter received this G,orning by respec-
table merchant in this city. from his COR
respondent in Georgia:
ST. SIMoNs, (Geor.) Oct. 10.
The brig Three Sisters, Lane, master,
from Savasnah, to n. York, out six days,
put in here, in a storm, about ten days a.
go. The Captain went off direct by
land to Savann h for hands since which,
/ have not heard from him. At his
request, l sent a beat and several ne
groes on board the vessel (about six
miles from me) to help his mate put the
vessel in order, as part of his crew were
sick and one had died the preceding day.
My people found the second mate lying
dead on the cabin floor, and the first mate.
six seamen and two passengers, all sick,
and unable to bury their dead. l had
them all brought ashore. One of the pas
ssngers an old man named Samuel Luke,
died the next day. The first mate has
ever since been very ill, and hardly ex-
pcct he will recover. Indeed the whole
are very low, AID their recovery doubtful.
1 employed a doctor, and have had them
well nursed. The vessel, am told, be-
longs toa Mr.. Story of New York Belle
wing that she is infected no person will
stay on boari. She is, therefore, quite a
bindoned, but lies safe. hope her capt.
will return soon.
After Mr.. Luke's death two hundred
and forty eight dollars were found in
his pockets.-I sealed his small trunk
until Captain Lane shall return.
I'm entire ne7v Speculation. MIR Phi

by purchase, become the owner of up
wards of seventy of the black convicts in

Transporting them ont of the state, has
shipped them all off for New-Orleans, or
as some say for thu Red River, in the Lou

THE MUSEUM.-W are delighted to
see Mr.. Warr~lps Museum advancing with
so much success.-BefoTe Christmas comes,
it will be covered ia. and, ii no impeachment
occurs, it will open next summer.-T hus,
new school is founded for the preservation
of curiosities, the exhibition Of casts, scup
lures, and pictures, the advancement of ma
tural history and the fine arts. Need we
say that it has all our good wishes and
being sort of national work, ought to
have the good wishes of every man in the
State
But Museum is not made of good wish
es =; it requires more substantial aid to sup-
port it.--How desirable is it that those gem
tlemen who have any curiosltiss in their
hands, shoald forward them to this Repo-
sitory--Mr. Warrell has already received
many--but, as it will take time to collect,
and then to class them, it is desirable that
they should be sent to hirn as soon as con-
venient.
