Those whirfirst reached the shore did all that lay in 'their power • tcr assist the others ; thirateward, James Herron, ,among others, was indefatigable in his exertions. Ad the swimmers approached-the shore, pranks'. were out to them, and those that hadjcgained a little 'strength waded out Antalre:surf to lend a helping liand to their !iontradcits ; many, as they came in, fell ex ,hausted,upon'the sand, where they lay mo licnle4 for 'halt an hoar, completely pros trated with exertion..

They remained on the islanitilfree days' and two nights during which time they sul fered much from lack of water several water casks floated ashore, but the liquid they con tained was found so impregnated with salt as to be useless. On Thursday they obtained n barrel of molasses and ahother of vinegar; they mixed the two, and it answered the pur pose.of quenching their thirst. Afterward they managed to drill a hole into a rock with. spikes, which furnished a scant supply of brackish water, which they sucked through quills. Eight miles inland some more water was discovered, and several went thither in search of it. The island is barren and des titute of all vegetation, except a species of prickly pear ; several coyotes were seen, but no other signs of life. About fifty of the passengers carried one of the ship's boats, weighing about a ton, across 'the island on their shoulders, and launched her in Marguerita bay. They • also•carried across a small cannon, procured from the wreck, and a little powder, which by chance was brought ashore ; there was sufficient to fire the piece , twice, whereby they attached the attention of those on board the whaleships, , who were lyitig some twelve miles off. The captains of those vessels im mediately dispatched boats ashore with pro visions find water. The shipwreck party *ere taken ofr in the boats and distributed among the different vessels, aboard which ,they . reinained fifteen days ; the Meteor was thin chartered, and all went aboard except ing some twenty, including several ladies, who porferred to proceed in another Chip to the Sandwich Islands. Many acts of individual courage were per formed, many that probably will never come to light. One gentleman, after reaching the shore uninjured, swam out again to the wreck and brought off a child ; ho had no family on board—nothing to tempt him to return to a danger once passed, except the noble desireto preserve human life. Anoth er threw his three children overboard and followed after them—they were all drowned. It is supposed.that three or four perished in the flames or were suffocated by the smoke. The, ship was burnt to.the waters edge. It has been stated by several of the passen gers that an many as 159 persons, exclu sive et children, were lost.

Christian Myers, Duty of the Whig Party. There are - some among,the now dominant party, who affiot, peliapa feel, a great joy in the defeat of the Whig party in the late - election for 'Prenident, 'not. only because they believe—Or rather hope—that with the election of the Democratic nominee to the Presidency the Whig party was killed. And there are sometocy - who - flatter - themselves - that - they were Whigs, who are disposed to agree that the Whig party was then obliterated. They may not "lay that flattering unction to their souls." That sterling sheet "The Balti more Patriot," is right when it says : The Whig Tarty cannot die whilst consitutional liberty and the freedom of legislation lasts.—lt belongs to no man. It is not identified with the suc cess or failure of any election. It is founded on principle; atiel while there is a Union to be preserved, law to uphold, right to maintain and good in legislation to be done, the Whig party call it by what name you will, can never die. It belongs to the people—is of them, and works for them—and le, therefore, in no sense, depen dent upon the power and patronage of the gov ernment to give it life : The maxim that had its origin in the pristine days of republican gov ernments—and which "through long reverbera tions reaches our own"—tells us :lint 'the price of liberty is eternal vigilance." It was for this that the Whig party was organized—it was for this that it has struggled—it is for this that it must live—standing as a sentinel on the watch tower, to guard and protect the liberty and rights of thepeople, and to uphold the responsibilities of the government.• They oan have, as a party, no hope or desire apart from that which looks to the good of'the - country.—They cannot, then, be actuated by any spirit,,Cif disappointment in opposing any .public' office or the administration of the gov ernment ' They look only to what Is right, and that 'they support. And so, President Pierce has nothing to fear (COM ihe 'Whig party if he knows the right and does it. In so acting he may well lear—as the experience of his party predecessors in office admonishes him—that he will engender • opposition in the ranks of those who aided in his election—but he has nothing to fear from the Whig party. Will he then, do the right? Are our fears idle, that he will not, when we look over the remorseless spirit of proscription which has been evinced by him, and his Cabinet ad visers, in the removel of good and faithful offt• cars? Our fears are not idle, and the Whig party will soon find—has already—cause enough to continue its organization, and occasion to de mand of them their best exertions to stop the wrong and to uphold the right. Let then the Whigs, every where, keep themselves ready to do their duty, which the principles on which their party rests demands of everyone to do who truly deserves to becalled by that honored name. Frightful Stage Accident We learn that on Wednesday last, the Mai Stage, on the line between Allentown and Phil. adelphia,loaded with eight inside and five out side passengers, upset before the door of Mr. Snyder, in. Line Lexington ; Mr. Lewis Smith of Allentown, who happened to be one of the passengers, gives us the particulars as follows : Upon arriving at Quakertown, a change was made, and John Wambold a new driver took the reigns. Before leaving he had threatened to flog the driving that had just arrived for lose ing time, as he called it. He started at a very rapid gate and continued to drive faster until some of the passengers remonstrated, but he did not seem to heed it; when 'coming near Line Lexington, a sloping place, Mr. Smith, who was seated behind him on the top, again earnestly cautioned Wambold to drive slower and more carefully around the corner of the tavern, he however, did not appear to listen to kind advice, and in fact, before the words of caution were fully spoken, the stage with pas sengers and baggage was precipitated into the street, the call for assistance and groans of the wounded was truly frightful. Among the num ber that were hurt, was a poor old lady named Abend, residing in Salisburg township this coun. ty, who had the flesh torn from her arm up to her elbow, and whioh was hanging down some four or five inches, when they picked her up, a Quaker lady received a deep gash, near one of her eyes, and had two ribs broken ; a Mr. Blocs, from White Haven, had one of . hie legs frac tured, and other wise::' injured; a boy .had both his legs shockingly lacerated. «Those on the top were but slightly, Injured.

Business Notices. • New Paper Ranging Establishment. —At this time of the year, when Housekeepers, feel in the notion of fixing up and making new im provements for their comfort, it will not be amiss to direct their attention to the now establish ment of MOSEIrd.. LONOSTRETH AND BROTHER, in Third street, above Market, whose advertise ment will be found in another column. Their assortment is perhaps. one_nf the finest_and most beautiful to be found in Philadelphia; and when any of our, friends visit the city, will do well to give this establishment a-call berme they make:their purchases elsewhere. House and Lol for Sale.—Particular attention is directed to the sale of a very handsome House and Lot of Ground, the property of Mr.,Puriar. KLAY. The situation is a very pleasant one, the House being new, and we think we under stood Philip to say, that he would sell right, as he has an idea of going west. Persons wish ing to buy property of this kind;will do well to examine it. See sale in another column of to-days paper. A Ball at the Union Muse. By a notice in to-days paper, it will be seen that the proprie , tor of the "Union House" Mr. HENRY C. ROTN, will give a German Ball on the Evening of the 16th of. May, (Whitmonday evening.) Gala pades, Waltzes, Hops, &rt., will make up the programme on the occasion. Mr. ROTH, who knows how to do up things right, has engaged a full band of German Musicians, who are able he thinks to give full satisfaction. HENRY will also be fully provided with othei. good 'things necessary on such occasions. Improving Stock.—lye learn that Mr. Reuben Glick lj• Co. have lately purchased a full blooded Devonshire Bull, for the pdrpose of improving the stock of cattle in this county. He is bred' from Gen. Patterson's celebrated imported Day - on shire Burl, and in point of beauty be excelled. We trust the friends Of OW stckdk. will this fact in mind. He is to be seen on the . farm of Mr. Glick, in South Whitehall township.' Fritz, Guth ¢ Co.—We refer our readers to the Card of these gentlemen in to-days Register; in which they say "th e y were so much engaged in selling goods this spring that shay forgot to adver• tise ;" all a mistake gentlemen, it was the stand^ ing advertisement in the "Register" that filled your store with customer. Be this as it may, Prelz, Guth 4. Co. know how to do business, there is the Old Boss attends to the outdoor affairs; William, has charge of the books and the finan cial department ; Henry takes care of the sedate; Charles, has charge of the boating business; Hiram and Franklin, attend to the Ladies depart mem, and two capital fellows they are to sell goods ; there is Jacob and Philip, who attend to the younger portton of female customers ; little Phil ip, has charge of the rising generation ; and there is Old Honnes, who goes ahead of "the rest of mankind" for tapping "lasses" and catching mackerel & scale-fish ; on the whole a more oblig ing set of clerks can not be found in any country store; and, we can assure our readers that none will, go away dissatisfied. Legislative Dinner• The Philadelphia Argus, a leading Demo. cratic proper, published in that city says: "We are amazed at rumors front Harrisburg the coat for the Legislative dinner and cham pagne at that place on the 16th. It is reported says the York Gazette, that the public treasury must bleed to the amount of six to eight thou sand dollars for the frolic! This is montrous? About thirty dollars a head for each member of of the Legislatures ef.Penntsylvania and Mary land ! Reader! have you paid your State Tax 7 Hurry up! The money :is wanted." Does our neighbor remember that this was a ' movement of Gov. Bigler's and that it was ear -1 nod out by a Democratic ! Legislature!' We never heard a reason assigned for • getting up this blow-out—but presume it to have been in' tended for the good of the party. New Method of Roofing. The Lancaster Tribune, speaking pf /Warren's improved fire and water proof domposition roofing," being introduced in that Ci ty says : It consists of board sheathing laid on the rafters, as if prepared for a tin roof. The boards are covered with coarse paper, in regular layers and then coated with a preparation of tar or pitch, which is well covered with gravel. This completes the roof, which is said to be perfect• ly water and fire proof. To make a roof of this kind, the inclination of the rafters should not be more then about one inch to the foot. The cost of the Formdry roof is foi cents per square foot. Business at the U. S. Mint. It seems to us very absurd that the National Mint should be located in' Philadelphia, while, nearly all the precions•metals to be coined are owned in New York.

CalifbrniaGold Mine Is highly, encouraging, so far as`mining op erations aro concerned. The yield of the veins of quartz has been so remarkable late, as to call in some measure the wonders of the early days of the State. As a natural copsequence . of success in‘digging, new enterprises on a gi-,- gantic scale are projected—among others the tunneling of the mountains and a diversion of the gfreamot the Stanislaus into new chan nets, with a view to the prosecution of investi gations the present bed of that river. The occurrence of new floods in the vicinity of Ma rysville has served to retard business; operations in the interior; but the waters'are subsiding, and no great damage was to be anticipated.— We learn from San Francisco that a temporary stagnation in mercantile circles had beeh occa sioued by an annual iuflux of merchandise from abroad. The suspension, however, was probably transient, and with , the news of the next packet;- we may expect to hear of renew ed activity and enlarged series. of operations among the busy population of our promising new State. Post Master. Some Postmasters and newspaper subscribers are under the impression that the law authori zing newspapers to circulate, free of postage in the county where they are published, was repealed, by the late session of Congress.— This Is ainistake. Congress passed an amend ment to the Post Route bill, allowing Postmas lers whose compensalion does not exceed $5OO a quarter, one cent for every "free" letter de livered froth their respective officers each news paper not chargeable with postage. The'se amounts are not to be oolleoted from the pub lic but are to be allowed by the Government to the postmasters in the settlemeet of their ac counts. Between subscribers and Postmasters the law remains the same as before. It is on ly between the Postmasters and Government, that a change has been made. A Good Beginning. Virginia deserves to be commended for pro viding an annual fund of $42,000, to be devoted to the cause of colonization. This is as it should be, and , we hope is only a beginning of _what is to come. We hope that sum will soon be increased to a hundred thousand. annually. We wish that every Southern Siete would fol low the example; and that the general, govern- Meat would appropriate a couple of millions annually for the same purpose.

A letter from California to the Whig, State Journal, of March, 15, contains the following: "In many parts of the mines;the war , of ex termination is being waged against the Chinese The miners contend that their- work is equiva lent to slave labrip and that they do the coun• try more harm. thttn good, because they let none of their gold pass into the bands of any but their own countrymen.

Terrible Railroad Accident Cam Aim, April 28.—The express train which left here at 9 o'clock last night, on the Michigan Southern Railroad, came in collision at the cros sing of the Central 'timid with the emigrant up train, and the most disastrous consequences en sued. The locomotive and baggage car of the express train, were smashed, and it is thought from twelve to fifteen persons, were killed, and fifty to sixty injured, some of them fatally. The emigrants on the Central Road are the principal sufferers, no person in the first class cars being seriously injured. The engineer, fireman, and conductor of the express train escaped. The tracks 'cross each other at nearly right angles. Adrian, Mich., April 28.—A gentleman just ar rived from the scene of last nights disaster, re. ports That there were twenty dead bodies when he left, and the injured were dying almost every minute. Conductor Whiting, of the express train, was seriously hurt. The cause of the col lisinn is beyond conjecture. The night was bright, tho moon being near the full.

The general idea of increasing prosperity in our large cities induces greater expense in the style of living, a whiet .; !;Involves disaster. A fail ure of this nacre t ook place recently in New York, being that of a firm in the dry gopds job. bing trade, whose aerate! had been a year since $12,000, and whose liabilities were $898,000. The personal expenses of the two members of the firm are given at $87,000 for eleven months, or three times the whole capital in the basiness.--z These persons.were known as “Very smart young men" to the trade, and were favored by. the ofdet houses, from their supposed abilities to sell d large quantity of goods. This kind of I•smart ness" is generally all on the surface, and is pre. valent (says a letter from New York) to some extent in the dry goods trade,more than in others.. It is employed. in ..drUmming" customers ; and when young men, by flippanty, impudence and recklessness, impose upon busineas men so far as to require a reputation for_Heinartness" they are esployed at high - rates as ~ d rummers" as clerks at high salaries, proportional to the bust. ness they are supposed to influence in favour of the employers; and if they can raise a small °Bpi. tal to go into business, they receive large credits from persons confident in their smartness," on terms which usually causes the creditor to smart. This feature of business was formerly the cause of much speculation by forcing off goods on cheap credits. The older and more judicious films have become cautions in the employments of such means. Rattlesnake Bite Cured.—The Southern Medi cal Journal contains the description of a case by Dr. T. A. Atchinson, in which a girl seventeen years of age, bitten on the left in step by a rattle snake, was cured by bathing in hot salt bath, and whiskey and carbonate of ammonia admin istered to her, until she had taken three pints of the former and eighty grains of the latter. It was two hours and a half after the bite that the Dr. A. visited his patient, when he found her sight. less, her face swollen, and her mind wandering. The liquor caused no intoxication, and the cure was complete. A Round Salary.—The N. Y. Mirror states:that V.K.
