PARKER, SAVED e RIB NOBLE AND GENEROUS coynrcr A Deeply Interesting Narrative. Oj.A day or two since, in one of our telegraphic despatches, we announced the wreck of the Brig Somers. Since then we have received a full ac count of the awful catastrophe, but the crowded state of our columns, prevented us from finding room for it until this morning. The narrative will be read with the most intense interest. The con duct of Lieut. PAIL . SER, our noble-hearted towns d man, is magnanimous and honorable in the highest Since the above was written and in type, we have understood from good authority that a large number of our citizens intend purchasing a mag nificent sword, and have it forwarded to Lieut. PAasta immediately, as a token of their admira tion and esteem for his gallant conduct and, un daunted bravery. The intended gift is richly mer ited. As the wind had already hauled to the north, and the weather was threatening, Capt. Semme.s at ouce ran back to Green Island, intending to cialcbor as soon as he could regain his former berth, v% hich we had proved in the previous gabs to be safe and comfortable, besides enabling us to maintain our station upon the blockade. On approaching the anchorage another sail was discovered, apparently standing down for Vera Cruz through the; passage getween Green Lsland and Blanquilla Shoal, with the intention. as was supposed, of running the blockade. Apprehending that the stranger ;vessel might succeed in her de sign, Capt. Semmes was induced to change his purpose and run by Green Island, standing across the passage to intercept her, making short tacks ' between the reefs. The wind was then freshen• Mg from the north west, but Capt. Semmes hoped to be able to maintain his position until the suspi eious vessel approached, and to cut her off from Vera Cruz. To effect this object it was necessary to press the Somers with :canvass, in order to avoid falling to leeward upoti the reels, and finally to fetch Green Wand anchorage The. Somers was exceedingly light, having on board hnly fourteen barrels ig provisions and about six hundred gallons of water. After standing, across the passage, the vessel ,vas tacked and ran back towards Green Island, and as we approached our berth Capt. Semmes said ire would ancliorH but as there was a lull at the moment, and the weather rather Softened, he determined to hold on longer, and wore round and stood across the pas s..._,_atre again As we neared Pigmies' reef, we tack ed and stood — lreiriE — norttrerrrperneer tire Gr.err Island reef. The stranger vessel in the mean's time came down rapidly, but showed no colors.-1 While at this point., about half past nine o'claelb 1 A. M , while Capt. Semmes was standing in the lee arm chest, observing the reef with his glass,', ' the officer of the deck, Lt James L. Parker, re ported the appearance of a squall. The brig was then on the larboard track, under topsails, courses. i jib and main trysail. Capt. Semmes immediately ,' crossed to windward, and ordered the mainsail to I ' be hauled tll7, followed upon the instant by the or 'der to brait up the trysail. The mainsail was hauled up but the trysail took against the lee rie• t ging. and was in part brailed up with great tliffi -1 culty, at the same time the helm was put hard up. IThe squall now pressing her. the order was given by the officer of the deck to letsgo the lee maintop-I .„ sail sheet. an] on the next instant to cut away all • tacks and sheets. Finding she would not pay off, Capt. Semmes ordered the helm to be put down, i hoping to bring her to the wind. It was however ' I all unavailing. From the moment shee.mmen . ced creening she continued to go over 4,...e1h great I rapidity, and for thirty seconds was on her beam 1 ends. In less than ten minutes she sunk —The puff of wind was much more violent than could' shave behn expected front the appearances of they I weather, I One or two minutes after she was over, most of • the men and officers had gained the side of the ves se! or the tops. Dr. Wright and Lieut. Parker, passing through the weather after port, were the first to reach the main chains. They were fcil. lowed by severel men, and an attempt was made, with such means as were-at hand, to cut away the main riggslig, the men and officers using their pen and sheath knives for the purpose. Capt. Semmes.,l who had been dashed on the lee side, was now 1 drawn from the water, and as soon as he gained the side directed our exertions. The first lieut., I and passed midshipman Hynson, with a large num ber of men, had by this time reached the side of the vessel, and were making strenuous exertions to relies e her of her masts: but it was a fruitless ef- I fort. for the brig was so far over that there was no strain _upon the weather rigging. The small lar board quarter boat was in the meantime cleared away and dropped carefully round .leeward, and manned by her usual complement of live oarsmen. Midshipman Clarke, mho had gained the maintop by swimming from the steerage hatch, was order ed by Capt. Semmes to take charge oldie boat. Finding that there Ives no chance for saving the brig. and that she was fast sinking. Capt. S. order ed Mr. Clarke to stove off with Dr. Wright and seventeen men, besides purser Steele, (who reach ed the boat by swimmingas she was clearing the wreck, first enquiring if here was room in the boat for another.) to pull for Green Island, about half a mile distant, and immediately to return if possible and save more lives. This order was at once exe cuted, but not until come of those in the boat had solicited, by name, each of the officers on deck to come with them. These officers resolutely de clared that they would wait and take their chance with the brig. Passed midshipman Hynson, who had been partially disabled by a bad burn received in the firing of the Creole, was particularly im plored to go into the boat. A lad by the name of Nutter jumped out of the boat and offered his place to Mr. Hynson, and a man by the ham of Pow ers did the same thing.' - M‘r..Elynson refusing both offers, those men then declared that others might have their places, and they would abide on the wreck with Ivir Hynson. Captain Semmes, who was in impaired health, was also entreated to go. but refused. Lieut. Parker answered a similar se.- licitation by saying he•would drown with the brig. Lieut. Claiborne and Acting Master Clemson held the same language. IL is :a remarkable circum stance that three of the officers and all the men who acted thus nobly are saved. . When the boat moved off; the gale was blowing with great vio lence and a heavy sea running, so -that for some mo ments it was a matter of doubt -whether the boat would live. Praiser. Steele at one time proposed to leave the boat for a: fish•davit'he saw floating by. The boat, however, reached .the Island in about twenty-minutes. . As soon as the meii were landed, Mr. Clarke, disregarding the most strenuous entreaties, abso lutely shoved off agaih with a . volunteer crew at the imminent hazard of their lives. Less than -three minutes after the boat left the brig, Capt. &mines, hiding the 'vessel settling under them., gave an order r every man to save himself. ,All simultaneously plunged into the Water, and grasp ed the.posta f gratings; spars, coops and other float- IMIEME "....1 : 7 >~,, ~ .~ _ ~ ,+ MEEM .-rt int objects at hand.

"i Of, near sixty whoplung ed from the wreck; onlyseventeen escaped. Through' all of this appalling Scene. the greatest I composure was observed by men and officers-- 1 There'was no appearance of panic, nopehibition of selfishness. Those who could not swim were ' particularly entreated to go in the boat. Seymour, the ship's'cook. had got into. the boat, Lieut. Par ker commanded him to come out in orderto make 1 room for two smaller men, and. he obeyed the or der, but was afterwards directed to go in the boat 1 when it was found he could not swim. Capt. 'Semmes and Lieut. Parker were picked up by Mr. Clarke from a grating, and Jacob Hazard, yeoman, was rescued . swimming near them. Those who I survived have told of many instances of heroic self:devotion. The acting master, Henry A. Clem son, was struggling on a small steering sail boom I with five others, two of whom could not swim.- He found that all could not be supported and he left and struck out alone and unsupported. He was seen for the last time upon' a sky-light and probably perished in the surf. • The five men he left were saved, two they who could not swim be ing supported by their comrades, Amos Colson and John Williamson This completes the histo ry of our own efforts; but with grateful hearts we , ' have yet to mention the daring and devoted oter- I lions of the foreign men of war. There were ly- . I ing at Sacraficios, about two miles to leeward of! the wreck, H. B. M. ships Endymion and:Alaiml and the brig Daring, commanded respectively by Capts Lainbert, Franklin and Matson. ' the French brigs Pylade and Mercure, Capts. Dubut and La! Voyaire; and the Spanish corvette Louisa Fernan da, Capt. Puente. As soon as the accident was I discovered, the boats of all these were simultane- i ously called away. The crew of the Endymion to the number of two 1 [ hundred came aft and volunteered. There was the I most noble emulation as to which vessel should use the greatest expedition and persevere in the ! I most strenuous exertions. The violence of the gale i was such at that time that none, of the boats could 'I i pull against it, and it was with the deepest regret ! ' that Capt. Lambert and others in authority felt it to be their duty to make signals recalling their, boats. An hour or two afterwards, when there was a slight abatement of the gale, they again put ; forth at the peril of their lives, and succeeded in ! saving fourtei-n persons and bringing from Green I Island those who had landed there. The first lieu tenant of the Endymion. Mr.Tarleton, rescued the first lieutenant of the Somers from Pajaros reef, I which be succeeded by a miracle in reaching safet -, but where his situation was most critical. The I I most gallant and well directed efforts were made , by the officers and crew in the boat Mercure. She I rescued ten men at sea to leeward, on a spar.— One hardly knows which to admire most, the fore thought or the daring of this noble adventure.— The risk was incalculable Five boats represent-, ling rich of the foreign vessels, reached the island,! and took off 23 persons . to their respective vessels, where they were received' with a degree of kind ness and delicate consideration which 1 cannot adequately describe, but which none of us will i l ever forget. They gave us refreshments and sup- I plied us with clothes. I regret that Ido kifow the names of the generous and brave officers who' were in charge of the boats of the different vessels. 1 I cannot, however, forbear mentioning such as I I have learned,.viz i Lt. Wood and the gunner of the Endymion, and Midshipman Jaliz, of the Pylade. I The strange vessel proved to be the. Abrasia, bound for the squadron at Anton' Lizard°. She I passed very near the Somers, but the ca astrophe was so sudden that she failed to discover it. As soon as the boat at Green Island landed, Dr. Wright i took the colors and had them hoisted in the most conspicuous place, in order to attract the attention lof the Abrasia, so that the accident might be re ported to the squadron. We were however to-day , the bearers of our own sad story. - j The Mexicans saw the accident, from the mole I and cheered and exulted for a long time. The brig I had been for a long time engaged in the blockade andiliad done more to interrupt the commerce of the port than armrest - all the other vessels. Within the last fortnight Wilt town and castle had been . kept in a state of constant alarm by the burning of the Creole and demonserations which ol I pre sume you will hear of in due time. I. have do doubt the Mexicans were relieved when they saw her sink into the ocean. I append a list oldie lost 1 and saved-37 men saerd-37 lost. 'One officer. ! Mr. Rodgers, Passed Midshipman, and one man, 'I John G.

For the Morning Post Democracy in England, Many are aware that Democratic sentiment is at present rapidly and vigorously developing its congenial tendency in England. This sentiment, so benign in its motives and so salutary in its op , orations, is almost exclusively cherlShed and pro mated by the working classes, who are determi ned to achieve, if possible, their disenthialment [from what they consider the principal and procu ring cause of their oppression and wretchedness, the destructive system of Aristocracy which has so long deprived them of their Rights, destroyed their infeiests, prevented them the advantages of education, and on the whole reduced them to a si tuation scarcely superior to that of beasts of bur den. The day, however, is not far remote, when the English 'people will wipe away the infamy comprised in the imputation of the French politi- ' cal economist who has with' truth asserted that they are free and free only whilst voting for their rulers, and that the remainder of their existence they arc miserable serfs. The signs of the times, pregnant and unmistakeable, warrant the predic tion. The horoscope indicates its fulfillment. From the procurement of Magna Charta until now, the power of the people, as Foarsn, the Es sayist; has admirably shown, has been gradually and increasingly acknowledged. And judicious action on the part of the people cannot fail to eventuate, in the legitimate reco. ' mition, that their. power should be sovereign. They have long enough been &tried,' cheated and iinposed upon. A reme dy can be easily devised, and will be devised, if pre sent indications piiess any weight. Theyhave risen and are rising from their inertness; Associa tions are orianized, lectures are delivered, tracts are disseminat7d, immense gatherings of the rank and file are holden—all directed to the prothotion of progress, the removal of,evils, the salvation of la bor, the diffusion of knowledge, and the establish ment of a government, based on the mighty pedes taro( human rights, the Sovereignty, .cif the,people. Look at the great Chartist.movemeni, led only by the O'Cossoutt end tlie'DOreox.eis, the, true heroes of inankinhernes, for the encomiastic pen of the-future kiloton= aad poet. Chartism is a pure Democratic devO q pnlept=ethe effort put, forth by legions of operatiin Bastile man ufactories and the , deep dark mines, those effete and ghastly seindetres of breathing song; for the pos session of English soil which justice proclaims is theirs, and Which in their possession, Would give them the opporMnity of adequately ministering to their necessities,: They - They den); that thirty thousand I ordlings have any righteous claim to monopoly in the soil. They% say: only give,tis the soil and our condition will be in calculably better. Although repeated attempts have been made for its suppression, as the prison and transportation records prove,CharifSm still survives and is accumulating additional strength. The young earthquake rumbles, and soon will it overwhelm Feudal tyranny and exaction. Suffer ance will then be 'dismissed from the category of 1 , virtues. An extraordinary paragraph lately ap peered in the London Times, the most powerful, it must be conceded, of British presses. The para graph contained the recommendation that the pos session of the Nobility 'should be restored to the 'People, and inferred that thus the Sufferings and privations of the people could alone be alleviated. The proclamation of 'such heterodoxy to the pam pered few has created tremendous excitement. They begin to tremble for their ill-gotten opulence, and well they may, when such democratic doctrine is ,proclaimed through the columns of a press whose paramount power and influence are undisputed.— It is an omen or coming good—proof of the near approach of the good time. With such an auxili ary to the popular cause who need despairf The sentiment alluded to at the commencement of this aricle is beginning, to insinuate itself into English literature. Charles Lane says: "It is al most the fashion to write and speak for the poor laborer. Many of the most popular. .writers are now advocating the workingman's elevation and the duty of bringing him within the holy circle of love and humanity.' In-the ranks of the People you may find a Dicasiss, a JERROLD, a MAceAr. and a host of kinkred minds, eminent in the world of letters. Their writings evolve popular amelio ration. They draw from the fertile resources of low life, beautifully delineate the potency of cir cumstances, (take for instance the inimitable story of Sr. Oit.zs and ST. :TAXES) satirize and expose oppression, and thus when properly interpreted, feed the popular flame with fresh and choice fuel. I shall not omit to mention that a periodical has recently been established in London, edited by .101111 SA.9:SD - Eas, a name familiar to the friends of Pbi,. lanthropy, and devoted to the elevation of the masses. Among the contributors to the People's Journal, (that is its title,) are the celebrated,Miss MAwrxszsc, the Quaker author and authoress WILLIAM and MART HOWITT, JaIIROLIP• ' and a host of other writers, equally as able and eminent. As a specimen of the papers, inserted iiithe Jour nal, I subjoin the following splendid RAduction of the poetic muse, eloquent and sensitise: TO A WEARIED WORIL F ER. , Rsterr--Thou must not seek for rest Until thy task be done; Thou must not' lay thy bnithen down Till setting of the such Thou must not weary of thy life, NOr scorn thy lot ly lot, Nor cease to work, 4 because such work Thy neighbor irizeth not. Thou must notlet thy heart grow cold, Nor hush each generous tone, Nor veil the bright love in thine eye; Thou must not live alone. When others strive, than too must help, And answer when they call; The power to love God gave to thee, Thou must employ fur all. “Freedom and rest” thou wouldeat have Freedom is .service meet; And rest of soul is but a name - For toil amid lire's heat. Unmoved to gaze upon the strife, is not true liberty; To others thou must minister, Wouldst thou be truly free. In the ontward wo`ild 'tis vain to seek The Eden thou ,wouldst win; That ancient paradise is gone— Thine Eden is within. The considerations I have thrown out, make it, obvious that Democracy is rapidly spreading in I England, and not merely' spreading. but acquiring such a hold as will enable it to be soon engrafted in the laws and institutions of the nation. Con. cussions and convulsions, reasonably to be appre hended. will lint increase its impetus, expedite its dominion, and iiiigmerit the glory of its triumph. 1 7 he energjes' of our species are not stationary. iProgression is tlr grand ingredient of their char tarter. To contravene or to withstand them, were I folly and madness. Ever will they laugh at the weakness of its obstruction. S. F. LOCAL '3I.ATTEII.9. THE SECOND PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENT Our city was full of excitement during yesterday in consequence of the arrival of several volunteer companies of the sceond Regiment, and the "beat ing up" of our own companies that still hope to be admitted. The following are the companies now mustered nto service by Gen. ;Bowman Philadelphia Rangers. Capt. Naylor. Ante iron Highlanders, Cnpt. Geary. Cameron Guards, Capt. Williams. Columbia Guards, Capt. Wilson. Stockton Artillerists, Capt. Miller. Wrstraordand Guards-, Capt Johnson. The Fayette county volunteers arrived last night and will be mustered into service this morning. The 'Cambria Guards" and ' , Reading Artillery" are expected to-day. The Hibernia Greens have not yet been muster ed into the Regiment. We sincerely regret that any difficulty has occurred among the volunteers of this city. We understand that it is the determi , nation of the Adjutant General to receive the first full company that offers, in order to complete the Regiment at once. Capt. Geary request us to say that six or seven good men will be received into the "American Highlanders," if application be made immediately, the object being to have the maximum number in the ranks. COL.' WM. LA RIMER. We have'r,eceived two coummunications urging the claims of this gentleman to the Coloneley of the Second Regiment, which are: crowded out for want of room and time. .The District Court meets today at TO o'clock.

Firing.—We have heard of very many accidents which occured on New Years day, in consequence of firing crackers, pistols &c. The practice is a most outrageous nuisance. Can not our citizens adopt some measures to prevent such dangerous and annoying amusements in future. , Vastly important.--Ronr.

Since my election to the office I now hold, it was my intention not to seek a nomination, and I have frequently, to that effect, expressed myself to many 'of my friends. Villain the last few days I have been waited upon by a large • dumber of my fellow citizens urging - Me to accept a nomination, and many of them sayinir that it was their determination to, give Me the nomination notwithftanding my own expressions to the contrary. I xeplied, that in case theirarty thus placed me in nomination,l would feelsmy self bound ta accept; but stated at the same time, that if the party could unite harmoniona/y upon Mr Milwaine, I thought it would be better, and that I would Cheerfully leave the On the above expression and without any effort or solicitation on my part, my friends have used my name in a manner truly flattering to Myself, and to whom I must express my warmest feelings of gratitude. At the same time, I must respectfully ask them to withdraw my name from before the convention, hoping it will give,yon -.greater unity of action, and better prospact of success'to your nomination. , Yourt, respectfully, WILLIAM KERR. COURTS ANDREW. M'lLw•nrs, WILLIAM KERR. tion W. owing TV* Captain Naylor.-.-We leMn that a note has been sent to Capt. Naylor, signed by a large number of our citizens, requesting him" to address them on the subject of "War," The Captain, fearing he should weary them with his ideas i has declined. [TergiJph. afrThe above reminds; us of an apology we owe our readers, for failing, to give them the 'speech 'cif Captain Naylor at,the Eagle Saloon, after having made two promises that it should be published.— We were fully warranted in announcing our inten tion to publish it by the positive-assurances of the i Captain that we should have the manuscript. He' disappointed us. If the parroni of the. Post will forgive us we will extend the like elstity to' the Captain. We were anxious that his remarks should ap pear in print, because (as we . were informed) he took such a view of the. Present war as would, if properly understood, unite the whole country in its defence. We like the position he has taken and hope an opportanity may yet be afforded ua to lay his doctrines before the public. _ Local Netes.—We learn from our eastern exchan ges that the new iron steam frigate Allegheny,now completing in this city, will be ready for *aching in February, and at the same time a new iron rev enue steam cutter will be completed of 350 tons 126 feet on deck and 26 feet beam, to be called the Robert Walker. She will have side paddle wheels, and an armament of one :pivet 4 gun and ' four small shifters; schooner rigged, with three masts. She is a sharp and beautifully modelled vessel. Mr. O'Reilly.— , We copy the following compli• mentary notice of this gentlentan from the United States Gazette, of last Wednesday: "While the work has been rapid. i,n its progres sion to completion, it has been carefully made, and much praise is due Mr. O'Reilly, to whose untiring perseverente is to be attributed, this early and permanent connection with our sister city in the west of the state."

Only one of the gentlemen named is "on the Locofoco Ticket." as we published it on Saturday. morning- By some oversight, we presume, Mr. Roswell was nominated by the Democrats, but as - he declines, we dare say as good a man can be found. P. S.—Since the above was in type we have been informed that Mr. Rosewell solicited the democratic nomination a::r Messrs. Hays & Brockway, and H. A.
