thirty five persons. The ship was shortly after
enveloped in fan IS, and burnt to the waters
edge.
The boats, five in number, were abundantly
supplied with provisions and water; one of them
was missing on the morning ofthe GATH and
another parted company on the fourth night after
leaving the ship. After five days. exposure, the
remaining three boats were picked up by the
hip Shand, as above.
The captain and crew treated the unfortunates
IN the most hosptable manner. Fifteen out of

The Golden Light was owned by Mr. James

expresses his approval ofthe Compromise, incIu-

Gov Marcy has forfeited the confidence of the
bunker party in New York. and has found favor

are the men who have stood by the rights of the
South and yet they disown Gov. Marcy The

state OF things to say the least of it, if the posi-

''lhe Secretary OF State has completed his
first dispatches on the subject of the Bay Islands,

The administration will, | have no doubt,

The first they have to do is to inquire into the

fact, that the Senate, though they have been
clustering and fbusterng for long time, ia
