AFFECTING INCIDENTS.

Not long since we noticed the wreck of the
schooner James Clark, on the coast of Maine, and
the loss of more than 200 people. Ports.
mouth paper notices two cases of deep individ-
ual interest, among the hapless company.
"Soon after the vessel struck at 6 o'clock in
that evening, the cabin was stove in, and all
compelled to take refuge on deck. Here they
were washed from one side of the vessel to the
other by the waves, which were constantly brea.
king over the wreck with such violence, as to
tear off their clothing. The first one who ex-
PRED was the babe of Mrs. Stewart, six months
old. The anxious mother had wrapped It so
closely to protect it from the water and the cold
that its end was probably fastened. The moth.
er became lnsensbe, and when rescued from
the wreck was found among the laths, almost
covered with water. Her arms were stiflened
in the position in which she had held her child,
and remained so until some time after arriving
at the house.
"Mrs Mary JEFFERSON was widow of about
fifty years of age She was accompanied by
her daughter Hannah, aged twelve. For hours
they kept together as well as the waves would
permit. At length the daughter, benumbed
with cold, lay down at her mothers feet and ex-
PRED The mother, watching over her only
treasure, saw life fast ebbing, and raising her
eyes TO Heaven, commended her spirit to her
Maker. She was no sooner sensible that the
daughter was dead, than she laid herself by her
side, and in fifteen minutes her spirit also took
its flight. The passengers speak Of this lady
as most excellent woman"
On these incidents the U. S. (Phn) Gazette
makes the following interesting remarks:
The fondness and affection of Mrs. Stewart
seems to have hasent the death of her little one
1t was the warmth of affection, anticipating the
chils of the storm; and the convulsive grasp of
IA mothers love stood by the GOODNESS of the
waves, and the blasting of the winds. But the

her child and death, while it stopped the pul.
sations OF the heart, seemed to fix every muscle
in the position in which maternal love had bra
ced it. The arms were stiffened in the fold in
which she had held her little one, as if an angel
had stopped, and drawn up the sacred deposite,
after the mothers consciousness had ceased. "
What an idea for a sculptor"
Nor is the other incident without point How
the mother struggled against the storm and
waves, while the daughter seemed to excite a
hope, and encourage an effort! 1t was instruc.

delicate form Of her child breastng the wild

Abstract Of the Report Of the Secretary Of The
Nary.--This Report states that the Home
Squadron has been put in commission as direct
ed by act OF Congress, but as the number OF
vessels allowed was too large for the services,
he has assigned that squadron the duty OF the
West India station in connexon with it. The
steamships are found too expensive and arc to
be taken out of C mmisson.
An increase of force is recommended in the
Pacific, to give counlenance TO the settlement
on the Columbia river-the trade of which is
represented as last leaving our homes and falling
into that OF the English. A large force is also
recommended on the African coast, for the pro-.
lection of our trade in that quarter; and a
squadron for the Gulf OF Mexico for the coun.
tenance OF the large portion Of our commerce
engaged in that quarter.
The Secretary does not urge the building OF
any new vessels, but that those now built Shall
he put in commission, and earnestly urges that
the navy be a. once put on proper footing, and
its abuses reiorm,i-for which purpose he re-
commends that Naval schools for the education
Of officers be established on shore, and that no
boy should receive an acting appointment until
he has passed given time at them, and that
their administration shall be regulated the same
as the military Academy at West Point.
Higher grades of Offices are recommended
for the purpose Of rewarding meritorous OFF,
GERS, who will necessarily remain obscure un-
der the present system. He also says that an
increased force of Marines is almost indlspensi-
BILE.
The employment Of articles Of American
production, for all the purposes of the navy, is
warmly recommended, thus to afford encourage
ment TO our own manufacturers and artificers.
A reduction of the wages paid at the Navy
yards is urged and more strict Inquiry made
in regard to the quality OF articles to be furn-
ished for the Navy to be made, articles having
been furnished of late have not lasted more
than one third of the time commonly allowed

aninstance where they did not give perfect sat-
isfaetion. Several thousand boxes have been
sold within lhe last year, restoring TO health
persons in almost every stage of consumption,
and those aborng under ihe most distressing
colds and coughs. They do not check and dry
up the cough, but render it easy, promote ex-
peetoration, allay the tickling or irritation, and
remove the proximate or exciting cause
The Rev. Darius Anthony, Of the Oueida
Conference, was given up az int urable, believed
to be on the verge Of the grave from coasump-
tion, without the hope of relief, till he tried
these Lozsnges. They relieved him Immediate
ly, and in few weeks restored hin to health, so
that he could resume his duties as a minister of
| the gospel. He recommends them to all who are
consumptive or have any arrangement of their
lungs, as the greatest medicine in the known
world. He has witnessed their effects on sever
al others, and always with the happiest results.
! lie says so great a remedy through the blessings
of Divine Providence, should be the common
property OF all, and in every family on the face
of the earth
The Rev. DR.. Eastmond, of New York, gave
a few to lady, a friend of his, who had been
given up by her physician and friends as in tho
last stage OF consumption. The hrst Lozenge
gave her considerable relief, so that she was EN-
couragedto peIsevere in their use; and through
the blessings of God they restored her to perfect
health. ...
Mr.. G. T. Matthews, s Caroline ST., suffered
year with hard, tight cough, pain in the side,
splitting of blood, and all the usual symptoms of
consumption. The Lozenges relieved him inn
mediately,and in few weeks restored him to
perfect health. lie says they are the greatest
, cough medicine in the world.
Over 5000 persons have given their names

quiring more than one day to entirely eradicate
