abolish the congress of the United

the laws.

NEW YORK. Nov. 22.-Third Mate e
G. Price. of the British steamer Kor-

cutta. tells OF the terrible plight OF the
crew Of the German bark Werra. which
the steamer came upon 100 miles north

Seven men OF the bark's crew Of
twenty-five. he said. lay below decks
about ready 20 pass over, while the rest
were so weak they could hardly walk
the ship. The crew were facing death
from scurvy and starvation.
The Koranna supplied the Warra with
large quantities Of provisions and an
abundance OF lime juice and went her
way. leaving all OF the twenty-five on
the road 10 recovery.
The sickness on board the bark was
caused by her cargo OF redwood. which
had been freshly cut The fumes de-
stroyed all the food on board with the
exception Of salt pork and salt beef.
and upon this the crew lived for several
days before the Koranna brought succor.
