DIsAsTEns on THE 0cEAN-The present WIN
ter has so far been terribly prolific of disasters
on the ocean, and We are almost daily called up
on TO record in our news columns the loss or
abandonment of vessels at sea. Nearly every
vessel that arrives at this port reports the pre-
valepce Of heavy weather" hurricanes" and
severe gales during the passage, and each
bars evidence of the fact, not only on her log
book, but in the shattered condition OF her hui
or rigging. This weather has not been confined TO
particular localities, but appears TO have extended
over The Atlantic, from the western shores of Eu-
rope TO the whole coast of the United States. In
the more northern latitudts however. the number
Of shjpwrecks is larger, and the suneripgs Of the
crews and passengers have been greatly aug
mented by the intense cold. Many of those who
have been rescued were badly frost bitten, while
some were fioztn to death.
The ship Mary Glover, which arrived at this
port on the 31st ult. from Calao September IL:
experienced very heavy weather, during which
she bad her sails torn, her buwarks stove and
was leaking so badly that she was with difficulty
kept aioat. On the 9th of December, in lati-
iude 80 deg. 40 min, longitude 70 deg 10 min
she spoke the ship Dirigo, bound to Glasgow.
The Dirigo bad lost her main, mizzen and foretop-
gallant masts. II was blowing at the time
very heavy gale, and as there was "tremen-
dous" sea running, the Mary Glover could rem
der her no assistance. The ship Vision, Of Farm.

by Mr Buch aman,s Election.

While some OF our newspaper contemporaries
affect good deal of surprise at the collapse Of
border ruf,ianism in Kansas and the ascendancy
of law ard order there within the last month or
two, We must confess that this change for the
better. since the Presidential election, does not
appear no rs in the least degree astonishing or
extraordinary. We regard the general result of
the November elections as substantially popu-
lar verdict in favor of Kansas as free State; we
have no doubt that Mr.. Buchanan SO regards it;
and from the back track which poor Pierce has
taken with his border rufians since the meeting
OF Congress, we dare say that he too, through
some mysterious channel or other, has been made
10 teei the public warning and to obey it.
Let us. in this connection, briefly examine the
figures of the Presidential election. Here they

FRAUDS tION EMlGRANIS-A HINT TO THE LIZ
GIsIATuRE-For several years past this great
commercial emporium of the Western World has
been dseraced by the presence of a class of men
called emigrant runners and bogus passage ticket
Office proprietors. 1t is, perhaps, useless for us
to speak of the beartlessness of these harpies.
Our police reports from day to day speak too
plainly on that point. The perpetrators of these
swiDdles have now grown so hardened in the
pursuit of their Notorious occupation, that they
defy the Mayor ana police magistrates to arrest
them in their course of life, and openly prose
cute their business as if it were both legal and
honorable.
We are not surprised at the audacity of these
rascals when we consider that there is no law ths{
can in any way prevent them following their
illegal profession. The law against false pre-
fences does not offer the slightest obstacle to the
successful pursuit of business so criminal in the
eyes of all honest men. The Grand Jury may
find bills of Indictment, term after term, but the
parties are never brought to justice. On the
contrary, they renew their frauds upon poor emf
grants with increased vigor and less pity than
ever.
Now, we think emigrant runners baggage
smashers and swindling passage ticket Office pro-
prietors have had their own way long enough
and we would call the attention of the Legisla-
ture, now about to convene to the removal of this
evil especially. The fair fame of New York has
been injured long enough by the existence and
liberation of such disgraceful frauds upon
strangers. To such an extent have these
frauds been practised that many business men
are becoming alarmed lest the prosperity and
welfare of our city should receive blow from
the effects of which it might never afterwards
fully recover. Why, then, we ask, should such a
state of things be permitted to exist? In no
other city in the Union would such swindlers be
tolerated. Then, why in New York? If we in
tend to retain the commerce and trade that has
served to build up this great metropolis, we
should Immediately seek some remedy for the re-
moval of an evil which is doing us an meal
culabe injury.
Should good line of California steamers be
started in Boston or Philadelphia tomorrow,
We have no doubt that fully one-half Of the emf
grafton to the Pacific shores would be withdrawn
rom New York, to the great advantage
Of her rivals in business and commerce. This
blow to our prosperity would arise from no other
cause than the shameful manner in which emil
grants are treated on their arrival in this
city.
Foremost. then. among matters that should oc-
cupy the attention of the Legislature is the im-
portant necessity of removing this blot from the
cscutcbeon Of the metropolis by the passage of
an act for the express purpose of preventing any
further continuance of such shameful frauds
Let the Legislature take immediate action in this
matter and they will confer lasting benefit upon
the people of this city and State, and on oil
strangers who may have occasion to visit us.

both his nomination and his election to the hos
tility of the American people to poor Pierce's
policy of making Kansas slave State by fire
and sword Hence the reforms in that Territory
since the election-tbe dismissal of Judge
Jefifies I.ecompte, the abdication of Marshal
Donaldson, the resignation of Sheriff Jones,
the evacuation of the Territory by Atchison,
Buford and Others, and the departure
of Colonel Titus with his one hundred bor-
derere, for Nicaragua. An honest administration
of the law Of popular sovereignty is thus rapidly
displacing Pierce's bloody game of rufianism in
Kansas; and considering the parties and the
great issue Of the Presidential election, and the
general results of that election we feel entirely
assured that Mr.. Buchanan will faithfully fulfil
the popular sovereignty doctrine in Kansas, and
upder the perfect conviction that it will result in
making thar Territory free State and in setting
the democratic party Of the North upon its legs
again.

Louisa Cappen, from Boston, were taken aboard
the schooner Alba, in latitude SO deg. As
min, longitude II deg. % min. At the time
their vessel had both masts and rudder
gone, and the sea was making a complete
breach over her. The Alba herself was consider
ably damaged. Among the vessels abandoned
are the schooner Williamsburg, of Virginia, the
schooner Candy, of New London, schooner Des-
patch, of Wellheet, and schooner Samuel Rankin,
of Charleston. The bark Storm King, Moseley,
from Muscat, of and for Salem, is reported as
being in distress, short of provisions. She was
blown off the coast four times She was how

men and pilot, and proceeded on her course.
