T h e following .account is given by this poor fellow of the cause of his calamity, On* th e '3rd of April, 1823,. he sailed from Plymouth in the brig Mount-Stone-, Gbleman;, m^ter, bound to St. John’s Newfoundland'. The crew ■consisted of the master^ fiamtiel Longmaid, the mate, 3 seamen, Qlford,. Cost, and .Bihgle,, and a cabin boy.-^ They had-po: board- be&ide, Mr. Hb'dkq, the owner of thevesselv and his- son, a- lad..,abQufe 1'7 yfears pFage, and Mr;.-Roth- well, a passenger;- They had a- rather favorable pa3s.ag,p uritil the; jAh of May when, during the-prevalence of a dense- fog,, and whilst the- vessel was- sailing at the rate of 8 knote an; hogr,. they struck, a body o f ice that tyas level with the sur face of tbo Watfef; The shock was- so- severe, thatthe vessel was-stove in, and ‘after a vain attempt to stop the leak, thpy were forced to get into t|ie boat, witbout, bemg-able-to save a morsel'of food, a drop of Water,\pr' art article qf clothing hut what they .had on, and push Rom the ship which was rapidly sinking. Soon after leaving the vessel she went down, and they-proceeded to make the b e s fpf fheir way tdwards'tbe land, from which they ' w ere then 500 miles distant^ They con tinued to row for .3 days,* When,, being coinplefely exhausted'by fafiguej hunger, thirst, and cold, they were conipeBed to. desist, and'resigning themselves to their fide, they allowed the boat to drive be fore the sea.’ On the 5thday, Mr. Roth- well, the passenger;, expired I on the 7th day, y oung Hodge, the owner’s son died ; his father, a few hours after, sharetb the same' fate|. and was speedily ..followed by Cost and Dingle,, (the 2. seamen,) the mate and the boy, leaving only the master and Olford aliye, but reduced' to the last, state of w'eakness. . On the I”7th May,- 10-days after quitthig Mount Stone, they 'Were observed by a vessel; belonging to .Liverpool, on hoard o f which they -were taken and trea.ted'. wkh every attention their dteplorable state required; The next day they - were^landed about I'OO miles frora 'Si John’^s, where they ob tained foedical assistance.

One side wanted to retain tfie power in the hands of the legislature to answer their views ; the other wantefoit to be t<rans« Terred to the people, to answer their VieWiT; it was party on’.eacft side, and feach side had reason to b'elieve that they xvfere'Fi^t. T h e people’s” men had the most popular name, but not the most righteous views ;. all these dissentiona have resulted in theelectlon of Mr, Clin ton ; and the injudicious, if not unjust, removal from the canal board, had no small influence in producing this result. From the beginning t& the end of this. contest the battle has been fought in a manner totally different from our /fows and recommendation^ and we dwe'it to' ourselves to say so. On the subject d f the canal, no one opposed i f originally more constantly than we did; and w e opposed , it from the most povverfol convictions that the resources of the state were inadr equate to conjplete a project so very ex tensive in itself. We were in error • and we took the earliest opportunity to .say so, and afford a ' permanent and .useful support.loithe project. When this sup port becarae,'-unanimoiiSy what justiflea-’ tion could we offer for the removal of Mr., Clinton ? We wished gov,. Yates re-nominated. Jt was due to him on the ground of principle; Me stood-' firm* to the party, but tva& unpopular, ^oupg would run against him and defeat bite.-r-r' Be it so ; stHl the nomination was diie to governor Yates, and had he been nomin ated., Mr, Clinton would never have been a candidate. In this position we now stand, and .we must confess, that our regrets at the result have been in some degre,fe lessened, in consequence,of the ill-timed and unne cessary preference declared for Mr. Clay by Col; Yfoung, at a time when it was not required of 'him, and when it. was made in defianeq o f those systems „of regular, nominatfoa, apon wffloh he depepfled mainly -for ? ^uccess. ■ ’ Onr Lriends ha ve done their duty, and we are ready to. go tfilh them at all times, in thfe road of principle.

Holley's accounts .—Among the pro- ■ ceOdings of ye’sterday, was a report - by Mr. FJiAGtF,' frotn foe select committee appoint ed by a resolution of the lOth of April last, to examine into the state of the acconnts of M yr O k H oi . i . et , as canal commissioner, and also to investigate bis conduct general ly in relation lo contracts and disbursemenis on the canals, &c. The report is volumin ous, and particular. The balance against Mr. Holley, on the books of the comptroller, (including a balance due from D. S. Bates,, engineer,) is ^16,000 27. The notes issued by Mr- Holley, as treasurer of the canal commisRioners, amount to ^17,743-12- The committee estimate t,be amount of Mr, H.?s defalcation at ^30,291 21; and in this they do not include the balance cliarged to.

Holtey’s Statement,in bis commupiBation to the le gislatnre in April last. While the commit tee feel it their duly to condemn, in the most pointed manner,, the misapplication of the public funds; they are not disposed to with hold from M r. Holley, that credit which is due to his zeal, bis industry, and his talents as a’n acting canal commissioner. Since the commencemeot of the system of< inter nal improvement, in.this state, no man has given more efficient aid to that system than Mr. Holley. The facts disclosed in his com- ■ munication to the legislature,.painful as they must be to the subject of them^ aud deeply as foeir existence is regretted by all, do not retire us to tbrget, iliaV be haa done the state rmicb service. The committee have thought? proper,, in order to relieve the contractors who hold 'thenotes enumerated'in this report, to re commend the adoption of the folloiving reso lution : m Resolved^, 'That* the select committee, ap. - pointed to investigate Mr. Hollty’ffacccfunls, be instructed tb bring in a hilt, aiUhorlsjug the-paymentof the notes given by Myron Holley, as Treasurer of the canal commis sioners, a schedule of which is given in the report of the said comraftlee- we possibly can of all th'e political affairs of the state wifhowt partianiy and without COO'- cealment,'Jeavi,ng o«r readers to judge fee- themselves of the fitness or unfitnes^orsoeb measures as may be laid before thc.’n, Wgr adoft tWa'edul'fo fi.ecauae weAlunSit mori^ oortsonant to republican principles and less calculated to mislead the reader Or warp his> mind by prejudice- The result of the eleettbn is no- fongfeat doubtful.

It has been the rallying point and watch word of bis standard; and repubiicans. throughout the state cimnot fail universally .to regret, that (b’e bill wag not. passed into a law. Public opinion should never be dis regarded, b’y a legislature .under.aTepuibli- c'aii form of government perhaps, at ai;y time, but more especially alsncka crisis^a- last winter and S^umn^er..
