Ship Globus Lost.

Hampton Roads, Jan. 18.-The ship Morn
ing Star, Captain Campbell, of Windsor, Nova
Scotia, from Liverpool, with cargo of salt and
iron. bound for City Point, has arrived, with one
hundred and forty.nine passengers and crew
from the Bremen ship Globus, Captain Blanke,
bound to New York.
She was burned at sea on the afternoon of
the 18th instant. With the exception Of one
man, who jumped overheard, all were saved.
Half an hour after the fire was discovered, the
Globus was completely enveoped in flames.
There was scarcely time to save the passengers.
Her general cargo and the baggage and clothing
of passengers were lost during the heavy sea.
Captain Blanke remained on board his ship
till the flames reached the masthead. He was
the last to leave the burning vessel.
The saving Of so many lives is due to the
heroic exertions and gallantry of the captains
and crews Of the two ships. The captain of
the Morning STAR his lady, daughter, and crew,
rendered every possible attention to the desti.
tute passengers, among whom were sixty fe.
males and number of children.
The Morning STAR having run shert of pro.
visions, was supplied by the British brig Boone
rang, Captain Young, from Newcastle, bound
to New York, which was itself short of provis-
ions.
The passengers have received every attention
at the hands of Colonel Meyers. The consul
will have them sent to New York by the first
steamer.

PROSPECTUS OF THE WEEKLY NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN.

WARRINGTON, d. G., December, 1860.
The undersigned have commenced the publica-
tion, in this city, of weekly newspaper, called
the National Republican.
1t is printed on large Sheet 27 by AZ inches,
and is furnished at the low prices stated below.
1t will contain all the original matter OF the
daily National Republican, with the exception of
local news not interesting to country subscribers.
it will give full reports of the proceedings
of Congress, and Of the other departments of the
National Government.
1t will contain all the news of the day, foreign
and domestic, markets, &C., &C., as we'll as an
original corresl ondence from all parts of the
country. The miscellaneous department will re-
ceive special attention, and, in all respects, the
effort will be made to establish the character OF
the National Republican asa
FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus-
taining the incoming Administration OF Mr.. Lin
coin, but disclaimng, however, any pretension
to be the organ of the President elect.
There is no other Republican paper in tie
District of Columbia or in the vicinity of it, and
it is believed that recent events have opened to
such paper an important sphere Of useful eff
fort. The time has come, when the actual ad-
m'nistration of the Government upon Republican
principles will explode the Misrepresentation
which have made those principles so distastefu
to the South.
But it is not only here, and in this vicinity
that the projectors Of the National Republican
hope to make it, useful. To the whole country
they offer journal which will discuss national
politics from national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by any
overpowerng pressure of local interest.

Georgetown Correspondence.

GEORGETOWN, Jan. l8, 1861.
Our town has been on tiptoe this morning in
relation to the Mayoralty, the rumor running
that writ had been issued by their Honors,
the Judges of the Circuit Court, ousting our
Mayor, Mr.. Addison, and thus placing the Hon.
r. r. Crawford in. the disputed chair Of Office.
The rumor turned cut to be correct, the writ
having been issued at about II o'clock, and
served forthwith.
Mr.. Addison has been most efficient officer,
and the public will not forget his long and
meritorious services. They have no complaint
to make as to his official capacity, and all ad.
init that our town has prospered under his long
and faithful administration of its affairs. We
hope it will continue to have the aid Of his ex
perience, although now out Of office.
Mayor Crawford enters upon the duties OF
the office with the full confidence of the peo.
pie, and we believe will prove to be an efficient
officer.
We sincerely hope that at our next Mayor
atty election, which will take place on the 4th
Monday in February next that more care will
be observed by the judges Of election, so as to
guard against the unpleasant necessity Of re-
sorting to another judicial authority to deter.

When first heard this morning of the issue
of the writ Of custer, l was fearful that there
might be exhibited in our town also, q case OF
secession u my imagination led me at once to
the only stronghold, the property Of the Fed.

ever, under our present incumbent, I have
every reason to believe we will remain in statu

There is a slight change in the markets since

wagons, 10 to Is cents.
