Loss of tile William ;tlad lEary,

Our readers will remember that the
first accounts published of the loss OF
this ship, stated that 200 Of her passen.
gers had gone down with her. After
which intelligence was received that
% persons, including the captain, n
portion Of the crew, and some of her
passengers, had been picked up at sea.
BY the steamer Conway We receive our
files of Nassau papers, from which We
perceive that lG4 of the cinigrants
were saved ny wreckidg schooner,
as brihy not. ed in the News of yes
terday. The following account OF tho
loss of the ship we take from the Ia.
hama Herald Of the 18th inst.
Sav. Morn. Fcws.
The American ship "William and
Mary" ofBath, Maine, Stinson master,
J from Liverpool for New Orleans, with
cargo Of Railroad Iron, Pig Iron,
Dry Goods and Crockcry, and $50
emigrant passengers, struck Oh small
rock 60 feet under watcr) near the
Great Isaacs, on Tuesday evening,
May I'd, at 2Om. past 8 O'clock. The
ship was ashore about 3 hours. Three
of the crew who have arrived at this
port: state, that after the ship struck
they let go one anchor-partcd the
chain and then let 60 the other anchor
aae boats were got out, two Of which
i.fxere stove. At 6 q. IN. the captain
'-with the mates and part of The crew,
,:4eft in one Of the boats, and four sea-
men and passengers filling the long
boat, also left. Two passengers, in
endeauoring to get into the long boat,
were drowned, Two scamcD. Wm.
Ward and Samuel d. Harris, refused
TO quif the ship and abandon the help
less and unfortunate passengers.-
Discerning the land about eight miles
ahead, they slipped the chain and tried
to get the ship under way, in order, if
possible, to reach the land and run the
ship ashore; but the passengers could
render but little assistance in working
the ship, ana they were therefore una
blet do SO. Had not the Captain and
crew deserted the ship, it is the con-
3piction ot'thc scamcm referred to that
that the ship might have been run
ashore.
Being unable to manage her for the
want Of proper assistance, she driftcd
!. to to the Northeast, tho passengers cx-
5erting themselves to the utmost at. the
pumps. During the evening, RATS
were constructed from spars, &c, but

n man named Louis F'lnts cut his
leg very badly near Pittsburg, some
weeks ago, aud not having it proper
ly dressed, modification began to take
place On Monday two ply ysicians un-
dertook to amputatc the leg, with the
aid OF chlorotorm, but unfortunately
the dose proved too large for his dibil-
itated and nervous system, and he died
in about minute after its application.
The coroncr's jury, in their virdict,
recommend 'that the medical faculty

The balance of the resolutions Der.

DR.. r. j. Breckenridge moved that
the Moderator be requested to ask tho

ator offered, u fervent prayer for the

Nominations We're maG,. to fill the
vacant Professorship at the Princeton
Seminary, and Drs. Spring and Plum
mer were nominated.
In the New School Assembly, on
the same day, heated discussion on
the Slavery question arose. A series of
resolutions We're reported by tho
Special Committee, recommending the
appointment of committee Of four
from as many slave-holding Synods, to
inquire how many members of the
Presbyterian Church hold slaves
whether from motives of benevolencc.
and whether baptism and marriage are
observed among the slaves of members
ofthc church. The committee to re-
port next Assembly.
DIR. Ross, Of Tennessee. warmly op-
posed tho resolutions, emphaticaIly
asserting that the South never sub
mitted 10 scrutiny. Messrs. Newton, of
Virginia, and McLane, of Mississippi,
also warmly opposed the matter. Quite
an angry discussion arose towards the
close, and the reverend debaters
grew much heated. Eventually the
subject was postponed, amid mncll
excitement. until Monday.
1t will be seen from this, that
Buffalo is q dangerous place, even for
religious bodies to discuss the slavery
question, and the New School branch
OF the Church is evidently more m-
fortunate in its discussion on this
subject than the Old School, whose
conservatism thus far has triumphcd
over every attempt to lug in this
fruitful source of dissension and an
cry feelings.

BILE, suddenly and freely to the neck and
chest with u sponge. The breath will
Instantly be relieved. So soon as pos
sible, let the sufferer drink as much as
it can; then wipe it dry, cover it

will relieve the parents anxiety, aud

the Power which has given to the
clear, gushing fountain such medic
al qualities.
&We publish the above for the
purpose of bearing witness to the eff.
ticacy of the remedy, with Slight va.
ration" )" We haYe repeatedly. in our
family, arrested sattacks OF this ter
rible disease upon child who is sub.
Ject to q very violent and stubborn
form Of tho disease, by the following
simple method: At the first symptoms
OF the disease, wet anaptin or towel,
folded to about four inches in width,
and wind around the naked throat of
the patient, and then take about half a
pound Of clean dry cot on batting.
and tie it over the napkin so as to re-
tain the animal heat. Give the patient
plenty Of cold water to drink, and
cover it up warm in bed. The cough will
cease; the patient will sleep all night,
and awake well in the morning.
Wash it in cold water, aud dress as
usual. There is no danger of tax
ing cold, and the dreadful effects of
emetics are al! avoided. We have
tested this remedy by at least twcn-
ty trials within the past five years, and
it has never failed. 1t is equally ef
hcacious in quinsy, if taken when
the dscasc first rlanifcsts itself; as it is
also in any other intlamma,ion Of
the throat.
In trying the experiment, don't
take it into your head that flannel, or
an old stocking, or some other substi-
tute, will answer in the place of
the cotton. Dry cotton wool, and
a plenty Of it, is a perfect non-con-
ductor of animal heat, and hence it is
the best article and only sure rcli-
ancc.-BuG. E.rp.
