MELANCHOLY sHIPWRECK.

Capt. Haradon, of the Janus, has po-
litely furnished us with the following cir
cumstantiaI account of the melancholy loss
of the schooner Quaker, Capt. Leonard
Journagan, on her passage from Boston
for the Chesapeake, in lat. 81, IS, long.
10, 40.
The Quaker sailed from Boston. Feb
ruary %, with cables and cordage for the
Columbus IA, fitting for sea in the Chesa
peake water. She had on board 80 men,
which had been recruited for the Column
bus, 8 naval officers, and 6 marines, in
Guiding Capt. Journagan-48 persons in
all. On the morning of the 9th of March,
the schooner was struck by squat, and
10 spite of every exertion to prevent ii
capsized, and the passengers and crew
we're washed overheard by the surge.
William Miller, the mate, succeeded 10
hauling himself into the main crosstrees,
where he found four others-the topmast
and crosstrees being for the most part out
of water. Captain Journagan, when last
seen, was holding on TO the main chains,
aud lieutenant Samuel P. Macomber, Of the
United States navy, was clinging TO the
weather quarter. The mate and his four
companions remained iu their perilous sit
uation till Tuesday, the 9TH, when three Of
them persisted of cold and fatigue, and
we're washed away by the surge which was
continually breaking over the mate and his
surviving companion, who expected mo-
mentarily to share the fate of those who
we're lost. They remained withou. pros
pect of escape from death until the fore
noon Of Wednesday, March s, when they
discovered vessel standing towards them
they coutrived to hoist signal of distress
the vessel approached withing hailing dis
tauce-sent her boat aud took from the
wreck the two sufferers, who, after the
lapse Of 66 hours, were nearly exhausted
by hunger and fatigue. This vessel proved
to be the brig Janus, Capt Haradou, from
Turks Island, of and for this port, where
she arrived yesterday. The feelings of
the mate aud his companion, on the pros
pect Of their deliverance, may be more
easily conceived than described. They
had previously been passed by four vessels,
who did not observe their signals.
The preceding particulars OF this mel
ancholy shipwreck, by which forty-six hu-
man beings, unfortunately persisted, are
derived from a very minute statement,
drawn up by the mate, and communicated
to Can't. Haradon. The name Of the mates
companion, who was saved, is Samuel $.
Pierce, Of New.Jersey, a seaman OF the
Columbus. We subjoin the mates list Of
the persons who persisted

Our readers are already informed fthe
robbery Of the mail near New-Haven, and
Of the arrest Of the robber. The following
extract from the Connecticut Herald, will
show the course pursued by the robber,
after committing the crime, his efforts TO
escape, and the manner in which ne was
arrested:-
His name is Dewey Hall; he is about
81 years of age; is from East Hartford;
and if report says truly, he has for some
time been at war with honesty. He states,
that when he attacked the mail driver, he
had no other weapon than jack knife,
aud stout willow stick Of about two feet
10 length, which he had picked up 10 the
road; that when he had got the mail into
the woods, after seating himself, to defend
his head from the rain, he threw over il
tarpaulin, he had taken from the sulky and
then proceeded in the dark to rifle the let
ters in the mail, putting the enclosures into
his pockets. and strewing most Of the let.
tiers around him; that while thus employ
ed, he heard his parsuers in the road,
passing near where he sat, but that he did
not attempt to flee till they returned and
were getting over the fence that when
they followed his track, they we're at one
time " within rods" Of him: that he fled
on, not knowing whittier, till he found him
self unexpectedly at the hayscaIes on the
Hartford road: he then fastened on to
Hampden, stopt there short time at Ives's,
and in the morning reached Doolittle's 10
Cheshire, drenched, soiled, aud weary
Here he offered liberal sum for speedy
conveyance to Poughkeepsie, pretending
that he had just had news Of his mothers
death in that place, and that he was anx-
ious to arrive there in season to attend her
funeral. On exhibiting some bank bills,
which he drew loosely from bis pocket, he
succeeded in engaging person to convey
him, and they set off together in sleigh.
Stopping to dine at Judd's in Waterbury
lat which place handbills had preceded
him, Hall retired tvice to privy. Soon
after his departure young gentleman by
the name Of Holmes, harboring some sus-
picions, also went to the privy, where he
discovered fragments Of letters scattered
about the floor; several unsealed letters
rolled together, inclosing checks, &c. de-
posted behind board, and tickets and
checks 10 the crevices of the building.
His suspicious being thus confirmed, he
lost no time in pursuing Hall. accompanied
by Mr.. Hine, young friend. They over
took him at the entrance of Roxbury, and,
keeping in company, heguiled him with
various conversations till they arrived a,
Mallory's. Hall here ran 10 to warm and
refresh, when the two young gentlemen

Than TO awaken our sympatbies for the

also be remarked, that certain resolutions,
of the 9th January, of the committee Of
Savannah, had reached US, aud their in
vitation to Iot-holders who were in want
Of small sums 10 build to call on the COM
mittee for aid, induced very general ap-
prehensioD that the distribution would be
made 10 Savannah on the principle which
it was supposed bad been adopted in Sche.
nectady. The disposition excited by
these circumstances was SO uniayorable
to the collections, that many OF the coli
lectors gave assurances to donors that
they would endeavour to induce the com
mittee to take measures which might pre-
vent the donations irom being disposed OF
contrary TO the wish OF the contributors.
When The committee met, the resolution
which has been the subject of such severe
animadyersion was proposed and anani-
mously passed without much reflection OF
consideration.
must beg you to observe, that the
resolution imposes no restriction: or cc;::!;
lion. The agents of the douors, in con-
iormity with what they believed to be the
desire Of their constituents, merely pre-
sumed to express wish as to the appli-
cation Of their donations.

tiou which has SO unexpectedly given Of

certain that there is not man that voted

the charges of Insulting the committee Of
Savannah and IFS citizens, Of throwing .
firebrand among them, aud Of being a
traitor and demagogue disposed TO smile
amidst havoc created by unpriDcipled
ambition.
do persuade myself, sir, that if, after
due consideration and explanations, yonr

has written to the department, stating that

tributions Of this city RENTED to you for
the relief Of the sufferers by the late fire

concerned in this transaction on our part.
Immediately previous to the receipt Of
the circular of the Mayor of Savannah Of
the 18th OF Jan. last, the citizens of New
York had contributed several thousand
dollars for the relief Of the sufferers by an
extensive conflagration in the city of Sche-
nectady. While the collections were
making for the benefit Of Savannah, re-
port was spread, aud was at that time be-
iieved, though now ascertained TO have

town, which very naturally suggested the follow
ing lines: -
The day was dark Its sky o'erspread;
Midst clouds its morning rose to view;
Its noon advanced with cherries tread;
1t saw no sun, no sky of blue.
Its close, more fearful, seem'd to threat
From bIack'ning clouds sweeping storm;
The sun already seem'd to set,
And hide in night his shrouded form.
When, Just as day had left the earth,
The clouds grew thin in western skies;
The glorious sun at length burst forth,
Seeming as from the night to rise.
Then the far-sped, departing day
Meath his calm ray more cheerful grew;
And once illumin'd by his ray
Babe, with smile, the world adieu.
Twas then heard yon village bell.
And caught its faint-borne, solemn knelS---
For, with the day, spirit fled
Lone to the dwellings of the dead
And was thy day of life, thought |,

Like that whose twilight calmly shone,
And told thy term of life was gone -
Did sin its morning dmly shroud
With its dark, terror-boding cloud!
Did guilt o'erspread with thick'ning gloom
Thy lfe's mid-day,-thy natures bloom f.
Did crimes still blacken to its close,
Till God at length in terror rose,
And seem'd to threat, with dire alarm,
A storm of wrath-a fearful storm b.

Did the bless'd " Sun Of Righteousness" appear
And in thy view kindly aspect wear,
And chase the darkness of thy soul away;
