Tar: ruiASKr. The following s'atcmcnt of the loss of the I’o l iski, which we take from the Baltimore Chroni cle, was furnished by J 11 Couper, ol Glynn county, this Stale, and M ij. ,1 P Heath of Haiti luoro. As the details of this rail occurrence arc of much interest, wo will lay them all before our readers. AVrcck of (ho Pulaski. Tho intense interest taken by t he pubi c in the recital of the details of this most heart rending disaster liai induced us to sock, from the sources within our reach, all particulars thh' wo can rely upon us authentic. Tho an nexed narrative is derived from infonna'ion winch we procured, in person, from J. 11. Con per, E-q ,of Glynn county, Geo., and Maj. James Heath, of this city, two of tho survi vors. Tho arrival of the latter amongst m, olihe moment when tho whole city had given him up us lost, excited the mpst pleasurable sensation, and was the occ son of universal joy. 'I he Steam Packet I’nla ki, Optain Du bois, sailed from Savannah, on Wednesday, the lJJt.li of June, having on hoard u'toat Uli passengers. She arrived at Charleston the ia ne ahernoon, and sailed the next morning with Go a Iditioi al | assungors. In tho ai'er noon tho wind was fresh from tins liEst and produced a heavy sea, which retarded her progress, and required a full pressure of steam. At halfjias' 10, tho wind continued Iri sh with u clear s'ar hght, and there was every pro mise of a fine night- Al 11 o’clock, the s'ar hoard ho ler exploded with tremendous vio lence, blowing off the prom made deck shove, and shatter ng the s'a bond s dc about mid ships—at the same time Ibo bulk h nl Po twoeu tlie boilers a id lo w ini cabut w is stove in, the sia rwuy to it blocked up, and llie lur room swept away. Tho head of (lie boiler was blown out and the (op rent lore and a I In cons rjuenco of the la; board boiler and works being comparatively un nj ired, the boat keeled to that side, and the starboard side was kept out of the wiper, oxcept when she rolled, when the sea rushed in at the breech. The boat continued to settle rapidly, nod in about 40 minutes the water had reach ed the promenade deck above the ladies cabin. Previously to tins period, (he ladies, children, and the gentlemen who were in the after pirt < ( the boat were placed on tho promenade deck. About the time that the water reached that point, the boat parted in two with a tic tuendous crash, and the how and stern rose Bomcwha' ou' of the water; hpt the latter again continued to sink until the water reach* ed tho promenade deck, when it separated in three parts, upset, anil prccip ated all on it into the water, Alany then regained the de tached portions. Tiic gentle.non who occn pied the forward cabin, Colt refuge on the extreme point of the how, when the bout broke in two, and clung to it ami tho foremast; o h cm had placed themselves on settees, and (he liagmciils of the wreck. I'here were lour bouts belonging to the boat; two being swung to the sides, mid two placed on the tup of the promenade d iclt. J 1,0 H 'dc boa's were both lowered down, with in five minutes ol the explosion. In that on • lie starboard side the first mate, Mr. llibbcrl, Mr. Swift and one other person had placed themselves—in that on the larboard side were Air. John 11. Cooper, with Airs. Nightingale and child, and Mrs. Fraser and her sun, who were under Ins charge, Cant. 11. W. Pooler and son, and Mr. Win. Robertson, nil of Georgia, JJ miey and Solomon, belonging to tho crew,mid two colored women. Jly direc tion ol the mate two of the crow launched one ol the deck boats and got into hoi; hut I as, from her Jong exposure to the sun, her I warns were nil open, s.bc immediately filled, and Air. Hilbert removed the mm to Ins h >at. The foils met, when those in the ec- , eond proposed to Mr. llibbcrl to stiikc tor [ the land, us it had on board us many ns ii , could with any safety carry; this he declined , to de, as be said ho was determined to stay t by 1 1 io wreck until daylight, and had yet room , (nr more persons. Until boats then continued , to row about the wreck until the Mate’s beat had picked up as many as she could carry, whim Mr, llibbcrl yielded to the propriety ol consulting the safely of those in the boats, by going to llie land, as their further s'ny would endanger them, without affording any aid to their Buffering friends, and they left the wreck at UP. M. The boats took aN. \V. course, being favored by a heavy sea and strong brecz.' from S. E. At. Pd o’clock they made the land, and at OP. M. were near the bench. Mr. llibbcrl then waited until the second boat got up, and inlormed them that those who were in the bout refused to row any farther and insisted on landing.—Mr. Goiipcr united with him in protesting against this measure, as, iroiu the heavy breakers which were dashing on lb 1 bcttdi, as far as the eye could reach, it wa < 01 viously one of great peril, living overruled, they submitted to make the attempt. Tlie mate, who had previously taken the two co lored women from tho s'xond boat, then pro posed to lead the w iv.und nq'i-sted Mr t’ou per to lie olf, until bo bad effected a landing and was prepared to a d tho ladies and chil dren. I’ho first boat then entered the surf, and disappeared lor several minutes from (hoso in llie other boat, having been instantly filled with water. Sx ot the persons in her, vz: Mr. Hibhert, Mr. Swift, Air. Tup an Mr. Leuclilcnbcrg, and West and Urnwn of the crew landed in safely. An old gentleman, supposed to be Judge Rochester, formerly of Uufi’alo, N. V , but recently of Pensacola, Mr. Bird of Georgia, the two colored women and a bo it hand, whore tut ne is unknown, were drowned, i'lto other boat continued to keep olf until about sun.ret, wheh, liming the mgiii approaching, and there bein'* no appear ance ot aid or change in the wind, wh.ch was brewing freshly in to the land, and the persons in the boat having previously refused to at tempt to row any further, Mr. Couuer rcluc t mtly Consented to attempt tho landing. Uefbre making tlie a'lcjnpt, it was thoiHn necessary to prevent the infant of Airs. N ightmgalo, which was only seven months oil, Iron being 1.-st, to lush it to her person, winch was done. Just a- the sun was seMim tno bow of the boat was turned lo the s lore! and Air.

Jlntu snort time proviom to the explosion, it wm remarked by one ol'tbe passengers to Maj. lieu'll, that the gunge showed DO inches of sica it. < ).i the utlenuon of the Engineer being ru led to this fuel, be replied that it would bi ar wilbsa'ety 40 inches. A number ol passengers were lying on the settees, and wh n the boiler burst, the steam rushed into the cabin, and it is thought, instantly killed them, ns they turned over, fell on the floor, and never were seen by the Major to move afterwards, tie I,ad, o i bearing the nose ol the cxplos oi, got oot o ids borln, and tun lo the slops, Ibo an am meeting b.in in the cabin. He got under the steps, tu d.d also Mr J.ove joy ol Geo., a id they were thus shielded ho u ns cllbets. In a few moments ho wont on deck, and louiid al dark, He called tor the cap'ain, and, receiving no answer, male lor the mas 1 , as he ft It that the lo it was sinking.

Tno unis', a soon an ho I n 1 heen-un hod from it, fell and crushed one oflhe passengers, Mr. Auzu, a French gentleman of Augusta. The boat no.v broke in two, and the dock, forward of llic mu I, was earned away liom the root oflhe vessel, seemingly very swiftly. Nothing more was seen ultur tins by Major Harh, oflhe yawl or the after pait of iho b at, but in about bn I uu hour, he heard a wild shrill scream, and then till was quiet / This must have been when the promenade dock turned over, w.th at least one hundred hitman beings upon it I When daylight broke, he found tl al there were '22 o t the wreck will) him—among them, ('apt Pearson, who ha I been blown out into the sen, but who fa I can ht a plank, and succeeded in reaching thorn during iho night. The danger o/'thoir siitta’lon was atoicc fully realized. The heavy nut d. lay across iho deck on which they reeled, and kept it about Id inches under iva'cr, and the planks wore evidently fust parting ! Cunt Pearson, with the res’, set himself to w ork lo lash the wreck together by the aid oflhe ropes on Iho mast—letting the ropes sink on one sdo ol the raft, which, parsing under her, camp up on iho other side, and by repeating tins oper ation they formed a kind of not work over it. They a'so succeeded in lushing two large box j cs to their tall, which form d seals. Friday passed without any vessel coming insight—Their thirst now became intense. The heat ot the sun was very oppressive, its rays pouring down on I heir huro heads und blistering their faces and backs, smite not laving even a shirt on, and none more limn a shin and pantaloons. The sniftering of the younger portion of their company, nl tins time, became very great. Ma jor Twiggs of iho U.t-k Army, bad saved his child, ahoy about 12 years of ago. He kepi him in his aims nearly all the lime—and when ho would i call on his mother, who was safe at home and beg for water, bis father would set k in vain to comtorl him by words of kindness and clasping him closer to his heart. On Saturday they fell in with another portion oflhe wreck, on which were Chicken and three others whom they took on their rati. Towards the close of the evening they bad approached within half mile nl.-horo, os rimy thought, and ma ny were very anxious lo make an ell'orl In land.— This was ejected i>by M aj.it Heitb, as the break ers ran very high, und would have dashed the raft lo pieces on die shore. Mr. Greenwood, from Georgia, told the Major that bo was otic of the best swimmers m the country and that ho would tie a rope around him and swim lo the shore.— ‘No! No!" replied the M H >r, ‘ you shall not risk your life for me, under those circumstances, ■ and in such an attempt you would lose your life. No! I am the oldest matt In danger, and will not increase the risk ol others." All hope ol landing then was shortly afterwards given up, as a slight breeze trom the shoie was now carrying them out into the sea. Do pair now seemed lo seize on some cf them, and one sugges'ed that if relief did not soon teach them, it would be necessary to east lots ! The firmness and decision of Maj >r Heath soon put this horrid idea to (light. “\Vo are Christians,” he told them, “and we cannot in nocently imbrue our hands in the blood of a fel low creature. A horrid catastrophe lias deprived hundreds of their lives, brought sorrow to many a hearth, and thrown us upon the merry of the . winds and waves. We have still hie left, let us , 1101 give up all manliness am! sink to the brute. , Wo have all our thoughts about us, and should ( face death, w hioh must, sooner or later, overtake « "Hl» die spirit tliat becomes us ns ehrUtum , men. \\ ben that hour arrives 1 will lay down my life without a murmm, and 1 will risk it now for the safely of one of you, but I will never stand , by and sec another's sacrificed that we may drink bis blond and cal his flesh !” With such’ words r as these did he quiet them, and reconcile them to • await Iho issue. Tho day wore away again • without the sight of ave -cl to cheer their diooii ’ ing spirits. , On Sunday mornin ;it commenced raining, ’ with a still breeze from the North-east, which soon increased to a severe gale. Every elftort was made lo catch some of tho falling rain in the piece of canvass which they had taken from the mast, ’ but the sea ran so Inch that the little they d.d catch was nearly as salt as the water of the ocean. 1 Sail the rain cooled them, and, in their srtualijn, ■ was refreshing and grateful.

They hud now been with- I out Im lor water fir four d ivs and nights ; their | tongues weic dry in their mouths—their flesh r burnt and hiistcne.l liy the sun, and their-bruins ( levered, and many of them begun to exhibit the peculiar madness attendant on starvation. They could n ;l sleep either, as the tuft was almost al | ways under wa'cr, and it required continual watchfulness to k rep thomfelves liotn being wash ' cd over by the sea. Major Heath tells us that t cvir for ore moment did lie lose Ids conscious ness—rand we hear from otlu rs that liis cheerful spirit and encouraging conversation kept alive the hope of safely in the hrea.-t ol others, and banish e 1 despair f otn tin ir minds, j OnTue.-day morning a vessel liove in sight, • and her track scene d to lio much nearer them, ■ than those they had seen the diy before. They i again waved their llti.t, and nisc.l their feeble - voices. H.ill the vessel kept ot: her track, which r i now appeared to cany her away from them.— t I “1 To is gone !” raid one of the crew, a poor fcl r ' 1 ivv who had been dreadfully scalded, and he laid I himself down on one of the loxcs.ashe s iiJ, “to , : die.” (lap!. J’earson, who had liven closely wale It • ing the vessel, cried out, “Bhc i-ces us ! Bhe is . | coming 1 iwards us!” Ami i> it was. All sails , | set, and full before the wind, the vessel made for them. The schooner proved to he the Henry , j Uainerdon, bound from Philadelphia to Wilniing . ton, IS. O. As soon as (ho captain came within , speaking di lance, he took his trumpet an I cried ! out, “ile of good dicer, I will save you ! ’ It r was the (irst strange voice that had reached licit j ears for live days, which were to llicrn’as an age. When tho schooner came alongside, they all I rushed frantically (it derk, and it was with some I difficulty fat the Captain could keep them from | the water ca-ks. He immediately gave each of them a half pint of water, sweetened with molas ses, and ri j ruled fat oh rt intervals. His pru dence, doubtless, pre.-eivcd their lives. During tho morning, Major Heath and his company had seen another portion of the wreck, with several persons on it, and as soon as the Captain of the Henry Camcdron was told of it he sailed in the direction it had been seen, and short ly after wards came in sight. On this wreck which was a part o( the promenade do k, were Miss Hehccea Lamar, Mrs. Noah Smith, of Au gusta, Master Charles Lamar of Savannah, and Mr. Hubert Hutchinson, also of Savannah. The two 1 idles were much exhausted, and Master let mar was almost dead. Every comfort that the schooner was possessed of was freely bestowed by the Captain ; and Map Heath,-on behalf of those who were saved with him, has asked us to return thus publicly, to him the thanks, the deep and heartfelt thanks, of the beings whom ho rescued from a condition of such misery and peril, that tho heart sickens at Ihc contemplation of it. Mr. Hutchinson had lost in Ibis disaster his wife and child. His wife was the daughter of Mr. Elliot, formerly in tho 'J'. S. Senate, from Go irgia. When the promenade dock separated from the bull,-many persons took refuge on this portion of it. Among them was Mr. C. Jl. Lamar of Savannah, and two children, the Kcv. Mr. Witt and lady of Florida, and a child of Mr. Hutchinson, and the 2d mate of the Pulaski On Saturday morn'mir, finding that there was no other hope of safety, the mule proposed to take the boat which they had secured, being (he 2d deck boat—and with five of the most able of those on the raft to endeavor lo reach the shore, and to send out some vessel to cruize for them. This be ing assented to, the mate, with Mr. I.amarand (our others, look their departure, and on Wed- I nc.sday morning (hey reached New Hirer In let in safety. The passengers remaining on the raft, with the exception of the four men tioned as taken off by the Henry Camerdon, . died from exhaustion, —among litem was the , Her. Mr. Win and lady, whose Christian re signation lo t licit* late excited the admiration 1 (■;(' all around them. They expired within a 1 few minutes of each other. Seven persons were reported to have die Jon Monday. The | body of Mr. Turkman of Savannah floated to the raft, and was recognized by his friends, ( It was ascertained at Wilmington on Wed nesday morning that eight other persons from , (lie wreck had reached New Uivcr, Inlet, but their names, w ith two exceptions, are un - known. The passengers who escaped were almost without exception in the clothes in which they weru sleeping, and suffered very severe ly (Vein the blistering effects of the son, ar.tl the chilly wind of the night. They were en tirely destitute of water or food of any kind. Those who were last saved were most of them in a dreadful state of uioordotain and debility. The passengers were every where received wilt the most unbounded sympathy and kind, ness; and the Wilmington and Haleigli It. It. (! , the Portsmouth and Roanoke It. It. C.;and II dlimore and NorfolkB, Packet Com, ten dered to them in the most liberal manner a conveyance in their cars and boats to the vari ous points of their destination. The cau.-c of the disaster tv as obviously the neglect of the second engineer in permit ting the water to foil off, or lo blow elf in the star! (Mid boiler, and then letting in a full supply of water on the healed copper.—One of the hands saved had, a low moments before the explosion, examined the steam gunge and found it fluctuating rapidly. r.ttu2(> to 2d inch es. Anot her had just left tho engine room ' wit it lie litard tho shrill whistling sound of I high pressure steam as the engineer tried the water cock; in a few seconds the explosion i took place. Captain Dubois was seen adeep in tho wheel house leu minutes before the explosion. Capt.

We have taken some pains to ascertain on what foundation tho story rests, and, from the best information we arc able to obtain, are inclined to think it is correct. The : occupation of the Island was effected last night, according to the intelligence given to Major Kir by, who is in command at Waterloo. The num ber of the Patriots is represented to be not less than 500.—There may possibly bo 50, who ate 1 probably the remains of tho parly that was cob 1 looted in the Tamarack Swamp, on the main land I and have fled to the Island for a refuge, and thin. | | king perhaps that they will receive reinforcements. But the sp.cll which protected Navy Island last winter is gone. It is a posh ion wholly untena ble against such a force as is now collected at Chippewa, and will undoubtedly bo very suun cleared. From our Correspondent. Washington, July 2, 1838. Tho Vice President having informed the Sen, ( ale that ho would not again lake the Chair, the | Senate was called to order at the usual hour by l tho Secretary, and immediately proceeded to ha!- 1 lot lor a President pro tem. Thirty seven votes were given of which Mr . Kiko, of Alabama, received thirty; Mr White, ( of Tenn., three, and four scattering. Mr Kino having been declared duly elected, * was conducted to the chair by Mr Knight, of j U. I. He briefly returned his thanks for this t additional mark of confidence and respect ; and declared his intention to execute the duties of ( the appointment to the best of his ability, and < especially in preventing unpleasant personal als 1 tcrcations. ' Alter tho presentation of several memorials, petitions, &c, Mr Webster, by unanimous consent, intro duced a Bill making further [ revisions for the discharge of debenture bonds. Mr W briefly explained the object of the hill to bo to allow steam vessels f ora Europe, bring o ing a supply of coal for their icturn voyage, to keep that coal free of duty. Mr W. urged in favor of the bill that a sufficient trial had not yet been made of American coal for the purpose in (jueslion, and that at all events the general pur pose of imposing duties was to lay a lax on for. eign articles consumed in thecounlry. Mr Nii.es and Buchanan objected to tho bill as interfering with tho sale of American coal, and as coming up 100 late in the session on a question which was supposed to be already settled. At the suggestion of Mr. Wiught, the bill was laid aside till tomorrow. It EI’CAL OF THE DEPOSITS ACT. The Senate proceeded to the consideration of the Bill which was ordered to be engrossed on Saturday, having for its objects to remove the five dollar restriction, so as to allow the receipt of notes of Banks which had issued hills ot a de. nomination less than five dollars; and produce a general repeal of the Deposiic System. The question being on tho final passage ol the Bill, Mr Weitstea rose, and spoke with great force and spirit in opposition to the measure. A debate of considerable animation took placci , in which the bill was supported by Messrs. Ben ton, W right, and Strange, and opposed by Messrs Preston and Calhoun. The latter declared his 1 determination to vote against it because it would , not in his opinion, restore the act of 1798, but in j fact prevent it. He hoped that if it should pass, the President would execute it, so as to aceom- < (dish an entire divorce of the Government from the Banks. < The question was then taken, and carried in 1 the affirmative; ayes 27, nays 22. So the Bill was passed. Tho Senate then took up the Light House Bill. lu the House of Representatives to Joy a re* 1 solution was adopted, for the purpose of saving j lime, permitting each member to lay on the table 1 one pe hum without the formality cf presents- , Cion. i Mr McKay, from tho Committee on Military ‘ MTaiis, reported a bill proviJirg for the settle. i , mint of claims by the State of Nca \otk, fji services rendered I.y tire Militia during lire res eat l disturbances on the Northern Frontier. The Select Committee to whom the subject bad been referred, reported a Dill to prevent the lulure imp relation of Foreign Paupers into the United Slates; also a Dill to amend several acts for establishing a uniform rule of naturalization. The Hill for the increase of the Army was taken up, on aperiding motion to reconsider; and tire House havit g refused to reconsider, the Dill was finally passed : ayes 112, nays 80. The House then went into Committee of the Whole, and look up the Dill making appropria. lions for the construction of certain Harbours, M. Fur llie Chronicle and Sentinel. Mr. Eujtuh: —l was forcibly struck with a remark of a stranger, who visited our city some short time since. •! presume, said he, that this portion of your city, is notin the corporate lim its,” alluding to Ural above Gumming street, or Campbell's Gully, art J on being asked why ho should so speak, replied, because your streets arc in had order, some appear almost impassable or entirely ncglocicd.” The latter part of this re mark, is too true, and I can not refrain, Mr. Edr tor from adding a few words mere on this subject. Green street, above the point alluded to, has been opened for years, and yet it has not been put in order for use, but remained, as above sta ted, almost impassable. Tills is one of the hand somest streets of our city, and if the west end was pul in order, would add much to the comfort and convenience of our citizens generally as a prome nade or to ride on, independent of the necessary uses made of it. Droad street is generally cither so dusty, muddy or crowded will drays and wag ons, that Green street would be much preferred by persons going out at this end of the city, to the country or Sand Hills. Darts of Ellis street in this section is washing and gullying much, and those places have been almost totally neglected, for perhaps years past. It would be economy to repair it at once, and save the dpt which is leaving it every rain. These streets might now bo repaired at little expense. Lot our citizens look around them and they will see much care taken to fill up every uneven place, in some parts of our streets, whilst those alluded to, are in such condition as would boa fit subject for ■ lie presentment by the Grand Jury, were they roads. It is believed that our citize .s generally will sec the proprie y of the remarks made, and res pond to the suggestions of the necessity of the repairs being made as soon as practicable. I trust our city Council will immediately take this matter under their notice, and extend its pa ternal wings over ibis part of the city also, and let its citizens c.rjoy a portion of its taxes in improvements so obviously necessary. J USTICE. Musky Alattehs is New Yuhk.—The Ex press of Saturday says: — A report is in general circulation in Wall street, that Air. Diddle will be here in a week or ten days, for the purpose of making arrangements for opening bis new bank or branch; and further that bank certificates of the Western banks will be re ceived at very favorable rates. Whether the re port is well or ill founded wo cannot say. Now the Sub-Treasury is defeated, it is a natural sup position that Mr. Diddle will lake early steps to carry into clicet the establishment of his bank ; and any arrangement that can be made by which Southern funds can be turned into cash, will pro duce a most beneficial cllect. The public are suffering beyond all account, from the great diffi culty in negociating. If the exchanges on the South can be brought down to 6 or 8 per cent., instead of 8 to 20, as they now are, it will be most acceptable. We understand that a musical composer in this city is about publishing a now requium, to be called “Vanßuren’s Lament.” He has given great cllect to the piece, in one portion of which he imitates completely the gingle of gold and sil ver. As that sound diminishes gradually, a low, but violent sobbing is heard. The lament ends with deep and disconsolate groans —Daily li /u'ff.
