THE DEAD OF THE MExIco-We publish
the following communication from the com
mittce appointed by the residents of Long Ia
lnnd. living near the scene of the late affllct.
my dispensation; and in doing so, we cannot
omit expressing, however briefly, the feeling
of respect and appreciation excited by their
conduct, in relation to this unhappy mntter,
! from the very first conduct with which the
proceedings announced in their colnnunica-
tion, are in excellent harmony.
The inhabitants of,he town Of Hampstead,
feeling themselves called upon by the recent
awful and di-tr'SSing shipwreck. and unpre-
,ceden'ed loss "i llf" on that melancholy oc-
casinn. held large md respectable meeting
on Friday evening. when il was unanimously
Rosoired, "Thai since II has pleased tn"
Great Dlsposer of Events to cast upon onr
shore the bodies OF many frendless fellow
creatures, suddenly deprived of life, by o
most disastrous shipwrcck; we deem il sol
rmn duty deyolvlng upon us, ~ cause them
I TO be decently and properly inferred. That
committee oftwevc be appointed, to collect
contributions for the purpose Of purchasing Il
piece Of ground, to be forever reserved solely
for the inter,nent OF bodies which shall here
after be cas-. upon Our beach. And also. for
the farther purpose Of erecting a suitable
monument over the bodies now 10 be inter
red"
Nhereupon the following gentlemen were
named as the committee:
| John Bedell, Richard Carman, Nathaniel
Seaman, Jacob Coles, Stephen G. Sncdeker,
Platts Willets. Peter'f. HEWLETT Oliver Dem
ton, John w. De Mott, Daniel Mott. John J..
Lott, and Raynor K. Smith.
| The committee having succeeded in Oh
timing ample funds. have purchased a lot Of
ground adjacent to tho burial ground Of the
Methodist Church at Near Rockaway, and to
be attached to the same, under the restrictions
of the resolution; and every arrangement has
been made for the interment of the bodies in
a respectable manner, and with appropriate
ceremonies.
The intcrment will take place on Wednes-
day next, the lth instant, ii O'Clock, A. NJ,
| if fair weather, if not on the next fair day
thereafter, at the same hour, from the house
Of John ]. Lott.
The Ladies of the village Of Hampstead
actuated by that pure spirit of bencvolence
and sympalhizing tenderness, which ever
mark the female character, in q short time
raised sufficient funds to purchase burial gar
men,s, for the females and children among the
dead. Not satisfied with simply providing the
materials. in space Of time almost incredi-
BILE they have completed them; and several
ladies', with an energy and zeal, worthy the
sex, proceeded to the house Of Major Lott,
and with their own hands enshrouded in the
habllimcnts Of the grave, the bodies there
collected.
The Clergymen ofthrce different Churches
having consented to unite, on this peculiarly
solemn and interesting occasion, it is expect.
ed that the ceremonies will be awful!y i'm
prcssivc and the public generally are invited
TO be present.
