TERRIBLE SUFEERINGs AT SEA.-The British brig Zenluco, of Halifax, N. S., was fallen in with November 10, in lat. 37 20 N., long. 63 w., water-logged, and dismasted by brig Sarah, arrived at Guadaloupe, who took from the wreck Capt. Griffin and one man. Capt. Griffin had been lashed to the stump of the foremast for eight days, and was in a terrible condition of suffering. The flesh was falling from his body when he was discovered. At last accounts he was improving.

Ot The following are tLe concluding re . marks of Gov. Wells, of Maine, in his message to the legislature, upon slavery:
 "The southern people are subjected to the burden of slavery, they know how to treat it better than we do, and it is alike alien to pa- triotism, and true sense of religious duty, to infame the minds of southern citizens, and ag- gravate their condition by constant course of eensure and an unsuccessful interference with their affairs"

Judicial Election in the 9th Circuit.

We are not yet Tn possession of sufficient in- formation to declare the name of the successful candidate. Our readers are aware that there were t100 democrats and one Know Nothing in the field. As the contest was made political one 1t will be gratifying to the democrats to know that the joint vote of Conway and Gull len nearly doubles that of the Know Nothing candidate, Maj. Stth. This fact shows, let who will be elected, that, in the 9th judicial circuit the Know Nothing cause is very weak. Mai. Stith was the Know Nothing favorite, and if he is elected at all, it is by very small vote over the foremost democrat, while the vote of the two democrats nearly doubles his vote.
 The proportion of votes Maj. Stith gets is about what we thought was the strength of the Know Nothing party in the circuit, and we are charitable enough to allow them that strength all over the State; that is, about one-third of the voting population. The Know Nothing party is not so strong as the old whig party, and 1t IS daily growing weaker by assertions and withdrawals The democrats number in the State about two to one of the Know Nothings. The following is the official vote as far as received here by Maj. Greer, Secretary of State:
