putrtriable by our laws with imprisonment in the

wonld bc guilty of an act of this kind, has little
regard for Ihe punishment which awaits him if

greater. It is no loss a crime than burning of a

the case, there will ho a continuation of these
villages. —Peoples Press of this morning.
ThetPhiladelphia Herald of Oct. 31, has an
article !jn favor of the establishment of a Coast
Squadron, which merits attention. It proposes
that the Squadron should bo constantly employ
ed in cruizing along the coast for the protection
of our Commerce, and that in connexion with
the plan there should be established a school ship
in each of the principle seaports, for the purpose
of fitting such boys, from the age ol 10 to six
teen, a* might bo disposed, for a seafearing life.
The plan proposes that on board this ship she!'
ho kept a school for the education of these b .
and that they shall be well instructed in the
ous rudiments of reading, writing, arithmetic,
navigation, &c., so as to bo competent to take
charge of a merchant vessel. The vessel on
which they were aboard, would of course, occa
sionally make a short cruise along the coast,
with the view of practising the boys in seaman
ship and giving them a practical knowledge ot
their business. The school and Ship should be
placed under the charge of some judicious officer
of the Kavy, who would take pride in training
these juvenile sailors, and in making them worthy
defenders of their country ; and who would also
have a care of their moral improvement, for it
should be a cardinal point, in the establishment
of these schools, to preserve the boys from vice
and temptation of every kind.
It may be doubted by many wither parents
and guaadians could bo induced to place their
children and wards in such a situation, and whe
ther a sufficient number of boys could be obtain
ed to warrant the expense of keeping up the
school. But we have no doubt on the subject;
if the school were established and conducted upon
a judicious plan, if it were made respectable by
Ihe character of its officers, and were parents
and guardians assured that the morals of their
children and wards would be strictly guarded,
and the boys kept from the contamination of vice,
there Would be no lack of applicants for admis
sion. Indeed, let any one look at the number of
lads that are now idle, or worse than idle, about
our streets and wharves, and who, by associating
with the vicious and depraved older than them
selves, soon learn the ways of the wicked and
become adepts therein, —and tell us whether the
parents pf these youngsters would not rejoice at
the oppolunily of placing them where they could
not grow up in ignorance and vice, useless to
themselves, a disgrace to their connexions and
a burden to the community.
We ar| indebted for our ideas upon this subject
to a distinguished officer of our navy, who has the
subject so much at heart that he declares himself
ready and willing, if government will adopt the
plan, to devote the remainder of his life to it, be
lieving that he could therein renJi r a most im
portant service to his country, and to thousands
of individuals endowed by nature with all the re
. quisiteenecessary to make useful men, who would

On the B‘Jth October, 1837, at or about 7
o’clock, P. M. the schooner was lying to under
double reefed fore-sail, with the bonnet out, it
then blowing a heavy gale from N N E wo judg
ed Charleston Light to bear N by W. In 14
fathoms water, the schoouer on the larboard tack,
while at supper, the Mato on the look out, dis
covered a ship within two or three hundred yards
.of us, which was as far as we could see, it being
/ very dark and misty. The ship coming down
upon us, the Male sung out “part the helm hard
a weather.” The helm was cut from the lee
becket and put up, but the ship coming so fast
upon us, we found we could not clear her by
fecring, we shifted the helm to leeward again,
and sung out to the ship to bear away but they
not healing us, she continued her course and
struck u» on the starboard beam, abaft the fore
chains, cut us down to the water’s edge. She
backed her topsails, and tendered us all the assist
ance she could; finally she carried away the main
rigging on the starboard side. All the crew and
one passenger made their escape over the ship’s
bows. In about 10 minutes after the ship backed
astern, the mainmast went close to the deck,
broke it two pieces,our foresail was torn to pieces
by the ship’s *jib boom. The ship proved to be
the Thos. Bennett, Captain Hague, from Liver
pool, bound to Charleston. Previous to the dis
aster, the schooner was leaking—tried the pumps
every half hour, which we found sufficient to
keep her (tec. The ship stood on her course, but
the next morning tacked and stood fur the West
—lowered away her boat—lhe Male of the
s •hoon*‘«ml the 2d Mate of the ship and three
men, bounded i[ lo schooner, found her full of
water, stern torn away, cabin deck washed off,
and truks floating about the cabin The passen
ger succeeded in saving part of his money and
clothing but the rest of us saved nothing hut
what we stood in, with few exceptions.—
This morning the sea ran very high; wo
found it very difficult to board the wreck, but lltc
wind had hauled there to the Westward; the
ship not being able to stay by the wreck, wo were
compelled to abandon bed, as it was not safe to
remain on board of tier, without some vessel to
slay by her; so tVe concluded to remain on hoard
the ship until we could gel some vessel to go
with us to the wreck, ami to save what we could,
or to gel her in if possible, At IP. M. bailed a
Savannah v ilot Boat, and requested tiim to take
us to the wr’cck. He refused to go, as he said the
wind would he to the Westward, and ho would
hot be able to save any thing if lie should go.

The party of friendly Indians, despatched by
the Governor a week or two since, to scout the
country lying between the Ocklockonce and Ap
alachicola livers, have returned without discov
ering any Indian signs. Their rouie extended
along the Ocklockonce to the Sea shore, and ac
ross the country to Fort Gadsden, completing a
circle of that part of the Territory; and could not
have failed of falling upon the trail if any Indians
frequented thalscction. We learn, however, that
a few days since, the camp of a party of hostile
Creeks, supposed to number 60 or 70, was fallen,
in with, near the Chipola swamp on the west side
of the Apalachicola. The Indians fled, and the
want of provisions and a sufficient force preven
ted a further pursuit. The Governor is organi
z ng a fircc sufficient to capture them it they can
again be found, who will march in a day or two.

ANOTHER GALE.
The steamboat Columbus, from Norfolk, due
on Nonday, did not reach here until yesterday
about noon, having been prevented from leaving
Norfolk at her regular time in consequence of
the prevalence of a heavy blow. A slip from the
Norfolk Beacon, dated on Monday, has the fol
lowing:
A Gale.— “ The wind has been blowing strong
ly from the North for three days, but on Saturday
night it veered North East, and blew a regular
gale. Tides are high in the Borough, and some
damage will be sustained. We apprehend some
difficulty in the case of vessels on the North Car
o:;.aa c Sat.”
ifn that during the gale at Norfolk the
■ o of Mr. Myer Myers, containing a large
qa Aitity of merchandise just landed from a vessel
from the West Indies, fell down, supposed in
consequence of being undermined by the tide,
which had risen considerably above its ordinary
level. The warehouse was situated near the wa
ter, into which most of the goods were precipita
ted, and must of course have sustained injury.
The steam packets Pulaski and South Carolina,
both duo at Norfolk from Charleston, had notar
rived when the Columbus left. It is supposed
that they had put into Smithville, N. C. —Pa It.

Encroachment of Russia on Mexico.—

Western coast of America, and thus encroach
ing on Mexican Territory. Formerly, the Rus
sian possessions did not extend beyond Noolka.
that is to say, 40° 23' of the same latitude; thus
the Russians have usurped nearly two hundred
and eighty leagues of territory, and now must be
at the mission of San Francisco, or within sixty
leagues of Monterey, capital of Upper California.
In 1834, Russia had already nine fortified posts
upon the coast; and kept in the ports of Archan
gel and of Bodega, 2 frigates, 2 brigs, and a still
greater number of smaller armed vessels.

That in compliance with the instructions
of their fellow citizens, they immediately pro

and Mr. Charles Drayton, five of the passen

upon a full and careful examination, gave the
testimony which is hereunto annexed, in Ike
very words in which the leslimony was received
—in order that the accuracy of any judgment
•r opinion which your Commits e might form
on this deeply interesting subject, may be tes

which it is founded, and that the world at
large and the parties to whom that evidence
affixes the crime ofgross neglect, in a matter
in which the life and happiness of their fellow

faith, and from which has arisen such a mass
of human suffering, tray see that in giving
utterance to the voice of a violated, insulted,
and injured humanity, your Committee have
not deviated from the path of truth and jus

Testimony of the Witnesses .
Satubday Evening, Oct. 21,1837.
The Committee appointed hy a meeting of
the citizens, this day met at the Council
Chamber. Present—Joshua W. Tootner,
James Lynah, Arthur P. Hayne. William
Aiken, Henry, J. Hardy, A. G. Magralh, M.

Capt. Salter—w.ts a passenger i ilhe Home.
When she left New-York, the weather was
fine--when the Captain lef.lie took apt
lot, but ho dismissed the pilot before ho
reached the Narrows. When oll'Sandy Hook
he ran the vessel on snore —this was in the
evening when day-light was in the sky, hav
ing lelt the city about 4 o’clock, P. M,; boat
lay ashore 4 ora hours till flood tide. Satur
day night, weather good—Sunday forenoon,
good—Sunday, P. M.—the sea began to rise
—the wind North East. Sunday evening
about 10 o’clock; Captain kept the lead going
during this night—witness cautioned the Cap
lain that he was steering wrong, S. S. W. and
W. by S.—at daylight on Monday, found the
vessel on lee shore —breakers on lee beam
witness still expostulated—the land then
made was 40 or 50 miles West of Cape Hut
teras. The Captain then had to press the
vessel by steam and canvass, and with a side
wind, in the trough ot the sea —such was the
press on the vessel, the witness considers this
the cause of her springing a leak afterwards.
After they had passed the Wimble shoals,
Capt. S. advised Capt. V . to double the
Shoals, and not go through the inner passage;
lie did so;
After they had doubled the Shoals, Capt.
S. found they were steering N. N. W., and
his reason was, that the vessel had sprung a
leak—witness advised the course N. W. and
that an immediate search be made as to the
cause of the leak. After a search with the Cap
tain in the fore hold,without discovery,witness
Capt. Hill,& took up some of the flooring took
1 in the ladies’ cabin—they there found so much
water, the trunks were afloat—he sent Cap
' tain Hill to muster the passengers to bail,and
they formed a line —this was about 4 or 5 in
the altcrnoon.
Witness called on the Engineer, and ho
said his pump was out of order —lie had pre
viously told witness she could deliver 20 bar
rels in a minute.
And one hour aflerwards, the first male
i came to witness, and hogged him to look after
; the helm, ho was sorry to say the Captain was
intoxicated, if that is the case, (said wit
ness) I’ll go and take charge ol the boat—
went to the wheel-house—saw Capt. White
who was laying down his head—he said,Capt.
While, I have come to take charge of the
boat, as the mate says you arc drunk. After
some altercation, Capt. While yielded, and
lay his head down on the Ice side.
Witness then run the vessel on shore,as soon
as he could see any place less affected with
the surge, and alter Capt. Hill had told him
the leak had increased so much that site would
. soon founder. She stranded of a mile
from the beach—the water was about a fool
above the cabin floor.
On reflection, when witness took charge of
the boat, about 4 o’clock, the engine was
working had, and on enquiry, lie was told by
the Engineer that the water from the leak
was extinguishing the fire, and it soon did so*
and it was two or three hours before the
vessel stranded, that they had no use ol the
steam.
Was there any cause in your view, to
cause the defect of the pump at the lime of
the leak?
He did not know. The common pumps
were going all along, hy the aid of thepassen
gers.
As to the structure of the boat, he saw so
much of herjdcfuct, that he was satisfied bo
fore her wreck that she was badly built.
Redoes not think that the grounding on the
Hook caused the leak—hut the clawing off
the leek shore with a gale, not sufficient to
leak a good vessel —He thinks now the Cap
tain intoxicated more or less, ever since he left
New York, as no man in his sober senses
would run down with a N. E. wind. This
impression is derived from a review of all that
has happened.
From the manner of her bearing at sea, and
the rapid manner in which it was broke to
pieces—he considers her imperfect structure
undoubted. A good and fathlully built vessel
was not so soon to be broke to pieces—she
broke up entire y in about one hour.
The three boats could not in calm weather
have accommodated more than 30 passengers
—he thinks the leak could have been kept
down if the pump had been in order.
Mr. Lovegreen—Five minutes alter 4 o’clock
left. New York —20 minutes after 5 o’clock
struck on the middle ground—Capt. made no
effort to back her off, hut to press her forward
—one of the boilers, for some cause hot
known, was much out of order. At about 9
o’clock perceived a Pilot abroad—2o before
11 got off the ground by the paddles—tiie Pilot
said we had better return to Now York--the
circle round the moon—the storm was brew
ing and the Pilot used some expressions to the
Captain. This Pilot come on hoard after the
vessel got on shore—the Pilot continued till
they crossed Sandy Hook, and when he was
, about to leave the vessel, witness asked him
to take him with him if he was going direct
to New-York, as lie expected a storm, and
did not wish to stay on board the vessel; hut
as pilot intended to stay out, he remained on
hoard.
i Made good progress till 12 o’clock M. on
• Sunday—strong breeze N. E. increase, till
, sunset —gale then commencing.
| Monday morning—heavy topping seas—
. labored very much—braces broken, panel
doors, &c. tumbling out of their places. All
the upepr works working nut of **•-'_ 0 »...
the boat i—.-ce—
I D serpentine motion—wit?
j 7,ess requested Capt. to turn into the Chesa
peake to Hampton Roads, as he thought the
- gale would continue 48 hours—Capt. said no,
he would proceed along the coast, as the
' weather would moderate.
r Made “false Capo” between 11 and 12 o’-
clock, A. M. kept to the wind, about S. S. E.
—got among the breakers on the Wimble
, Shoals at about 1 o’clock,P. M. —severe break
, ers tumbling towards them, Capt. White said
I it is ail over.
Witness said no—hoist the gib, and he
• made the mate and 2 men hoist it. The bout
• cleared the shoales, and threw her into the
, trough of the sea, S. E. and hy B. which rack
ed the boat, and caused her to leofc, when
, the true course was S. and by W. as he be
lieves.
Next notice was the sounding on Capo Hat
teras, 10 fathom on the outer shoals, about 5
o’clock.
In the mean time, witness got all the boats
ready for use. Deepened water to 15 fathom
—2O and 23 fathoms —Boat leaking—brought
her up to N N W.
Capt Salter then took the command and
bore off N W, under lee of Hatters shoals.
Wind moderating.
Witness seeing vessel in sight, wished to
hoist u signal of distress. Nothing dune.—
Capt White incapable of duty.
Capt Hill desired all the passengers to
come to the pumps. The after scult off’—
holes cut in the cabin floor—buckets in the
forward hold; and crew bailing—wood and all
loose articles, Coal, &c. thrown overboard.
Witness desired Mr.jHunt, chief Engineer,
to put all wood and no coal under the boiler.
About 8 o’clock the water rose so high
as to extinguish the fire ’under Iter bifliers.
The Engine stopped. Mr. Matthews and
Capt. Salters were requested to hoist the jib
and square sail, which was all in tatters.—
Witness hove the lead—9 fathoms ot water;
Capt White being close hy, said what water
have you got Capt W—answer, 13 fathoms—
Witness replied only 9—Sir, you do not
know what you arc about.
Water rose above the cabin floor—witnes
dosirtd Mr Mathews, Mr Hunt, Mr Graham,
2d male, and one a.iilo(, to lower the larboard
boat, which they were willing to do, but dread
ed the flocking of the passengers and swap
ing it He advised to have all the boats low
ered before they got into the breakers, which
would save 40 souls. But nothing was done
till they struck the breakers —2 breakers
filled the starboard quarter boat—witness
desired a sailor uod 2d mate to lower tije
larboard quarter boat —a surge upset her and
drowned the sailor —witness retired to the
quarter dock.
The barge behind Ittiinclcd»seven passCtl
sengers, the two mates and the steward went
with the boat—as soon as she struck the surf,
they were instantly thrown up from the boat
ami the boat capsized. Ail the paisengers
on the upper deck.
Capt White was making no exertions for
the rescue of the crew.
Vessel broke up piece hy piece. In about
15 minutes after she struck, the forward part
ot the vessel broke off from the rest. The
top gallant forecastle broke loose and 7 per
sons were launched on it towards the shore.
Tne after part gave way piece by piece, ami
in 25 minutes she was a total wreck. Wit
ness rung the boll as a signal of distress,
'The first notice witnesj look of Captain
White’s behavior to give the impression of
intoxication was on the shoals—in the after
noon. From all that lie saw on this trip and
what ho saw at the lime of her launch, that
site was unscawortliy—her structure was
wrong—being so long she could not stand Ilia
sea.
Mr. Hussy agrees with Gap. Salters in his
statement up to the time wc got up to “False
Capo”—He is under the impression that the ves
sel began to leak earlier in the day, amt he thinks
that the pump kept her clear so as not to lio no
ticed till the afternoon.
On Sunday night and Monday morning, pas
sengers in the upper berths, in the alter cabin,
complained of the vessel’s leaking through the
upper seams—the person near him, was vety
wot, and many ladies complained of being drench
cd with water —much complaint from the forward
cabin.
Did not observe Ihe Captain's conduct on
Monday,as he did not scejhirn’in any pait of the
vessel in which ho happened to be—except once.
On Monday morning the boat seemed a good
deal out of order—that is the upper works, were
out of their places and breaking—much of the
ceiling of tho mates’ apartments and other officers
were tumbling down. Tho bows of the boat
moved up and down, about 8 or 10 inches, and
it would rise or fall on tho wave.
Tho hailing was incessant—was no doubt the
crew would have been safe in the Norfolk boats,
or in the Columbia—as he has been in several
storms—and therefore he attributes the catastro
phe to the unseaworth ness of the boat and the
want of skill in the Captain—and not to the vio
lence of the storm.
Before they sailed many expressed their opini
ons that she was nut a strong boat.
Committee adjourned till Morning next, at 10
o’clock.

Mr. Charles Diiatton—Was a passenger
on hoard the Home, 7th Oct. 1837—Tho first
notice ho look of the boat was when [she went
aground on the Middle ground in tho harbour of
Ycw-York. Some short time after they got
aground, witness observed great confusion on
board—a great smoke issuing from the furnace'
and men were carrying buckets of water—Tire
witness ’apprehended that the vessel had taken
lire—hut the Captain said it was only an accident
to one of tho cocks—and the consequent escape
of the water. No further matter occurred worthy
of notice—but the vessel lay aground about 4 or
5 hours.
During Saturday night and Sunday till about
noon nothing remarkable occurred—when the
wind li3gan to freshen, and the gale commenced.
The vessel continued on her course—on Sunday
nijhl, between 10 and 12 o’clock, witness with
the other passengers were alarmed by the violent
cracking of the vessel—on reaching the deck, to
which many of tho passengers hurried, witness
found every thing in much disorder in particular,
he observed the braces, running parallel with
tho wheels fore and aft, had slipped out of their
shoe—at both ends. The Kitchen house and
upper works on the forward part of ihe vessel,
all started. Things went on in this way till the
following day (Monday) about live o’clock in
the afternoon off Halteras Shoals, when witness
heard that in consequence of the incompetency,
Captain, Salter had taken command of
the boat —Captain S. and Captain Hill, then
immediately examined into the condition of tho
boat,and found she was in a very leaky condition.
They immediately put all the passengers to the
pumps but they found .the pumpsftincapablc of dis
charging Ihe water fast enough, and they got
buckets, which the passengers had to use—which
they continued till a short time before they stran
ded,at which lime tho water was two feel or more
on the floor,
He believes the Captain was drunk at the
time he observed his conduct in the wheel house,
And after the event ho appeared v.’Lile on the
beach quite indifferent as to '„. i i
He heard him expre" 'e T 1 * a IV enc ‘ l ’
. I .vo no feeling on the occa
sion.
The testimony of Captain Sailer being read
to Captain Hill—Captain Hill, declared that he
agreed lluly with the statement of Capt. Salter.
Capt. Hill further staled, that he had been to
sea for 13 years, and that ho never knew a Cap
tain hefure, directing his course upon a lee shore,
when he could possibly claw off, Captain Hill
after examining the boat, docs not think that she
wassca worthy—hardly fit to work in a river.
That she was a ported wreck in twenty min
utes after she struck, and that portions of her
were scattered up and down the coast, for five or
six miles, which could not have happened had
she been built properly, and with good materials.
That ho examined portions of the wreck, and
that every part of her, as far as ho could judge,
was badly pul together—that the ceilings and
interior, generally, appeared to be made of briltly
pine—when they should have been principally
made of oak.
That had the boat been properly built, and of
good materials—she could have clawed off from
Ihe shore—(though improperly put there) and
weathered the gale, by putting her head to the sea
with a little steam, without any danger, and
without leaking. That if her pumps had been in
order, she might have been kept afloat until mor
ning, and no loss of lives have occurred.
At three o’clock in the morning, on the even
ing of which the disaster look place, while in his
birth, he saw the Captain go to the bar to drink
something out of a decanter, and that what he
drank, appeared to ho colored. He saw about,
half an hour afterwards, the first mate carry two
tin cups ofliquor on deck to the crew, ho suppo
sed, n cup for each watch.
He firmly believes the Captain to have been
drunk, and incapable of duty—that ire has seen
men extremely alarmed and frightened, but that
he never saw fear put.any man in the same situ
ation in which tho Captain was placed—that he
is certain that both bis conduct and appearance
were not the result of fear, hut of intoxication—
that his first grounding, off .Sandy Hook, was the
result of great carclosnes'j, as it was broad day
light. Ho never saw the Captain drink any
tiling during the voyage, except Ihe drink refer
red to on Monday morning. Ho could not say,
however, that hia going on shore on Sandy Hook
I was caused hy intoxication. He did not observe
him particularly Iwforc Mopdgy, hepausc ho un
derstood (lint lie was a sober man, and drank no,-
, tiling—ho thinks from his going ashore on B.m
--1 dy Hook, when it might have been so easily pre
• vented, his directing his course on aloe shore du
ring a storm, mid his whole subsequent conduct,
. that he was altogether unfit for command —that
i during the heavy part of the gale on Monday nf
j lornoon, seeing that the boat was shipping heavy
; seas, lie suggested tile propriety of taking out
s the bulwark’s, as ho was afraid the water would
, go below, to the injury and inconvenience of Ihe
j passengers, and danger of the boat; but that the
, captain declined doing so, saying there was no
danger—that two or three hours after, finding it
necessary, ho took them out himself, forward, and
| the captain then sent his hands to assist in taking
them out aft—that after the destruction of the
’ boat, whet; on shore, tho captain did not marries*.
' that feeling which he should have supposed tho
! occasion would have called forth. In conclusion
that the boat was not seaworthy, or that she
r could have clawed off without material injury,
and have weathered the gale.
