MARINE DISASTERS AND PROBABLE Loss OF
LrFE.--It was reported yesterday Mt New York,
that a ship Of 900 tons went ashore on Long
Beach, near Barnegat during tho storm Of
Saturday night When she was seen on Sun
day, she had upwards Of a hundred people on
deck. Her foremost was gone and the sea
was breaking wildly over her. She is supposed
to be an emigrant ship. AT the last account
the wreck master was making preparations to
90 to her relief but IT was feared that she went
to pieces before aid reached her. Two un.
known scbooners arc also ashore in the same
vicinity. The ship Underwater, from Liver

inhabitants Of Scott, without respect to party,
the following resolutions were presented, dis
cussed, and unanimously adopted; wbereupon,
it was voted to send them for publication to

I'VE insert few Of tho resolutions
Resolved, That it il the duty Of every lover
Of Freedom to raise bis voice in solemn protest
against the violation Of our constitutional rights
sought TO be made in defiance Of every princi-
pie Of right and justice, as exhibited in Doug
lass Infamous Nebraska bill, passed by the
Senate of the United States on the ID instant
and that we will do our utmost to excite hos
tility to this measure rs far as our influence
extends.
Resolved, That as the free and independent
citizens Of New York, we deem it our right
and our duty to demonstrate especially against
that portion Of the said blu which abrogates
the Missouri Compromise Of 1920. securing
free territory against the introduction OF
Slavery north OF SO deg. 80 min.
Resolved, That ms the said compact Of 1920
consccrated 485,00 square miles to Freedom,
VIC will resist every attempt TO divert it from
that sacred purpose by appropriating it to
Slavery.
