" STATEMENT OF THOMAS W. NYE. The ship John, Rutledge, Capt. Alexan der Keixt, bailed from Liverpool on the I6th of January, fir New York) She was loaded Q'tite deep, and hadon board an as sorted Ciirgo,' iiu ludinjr a.. large ijuaniuy of iron, blie also had 120 passenirer.-i in the 'sieerage. The officers and crew numbered 26 men. ' The name of the first mate was Atkinson, and he was from Philadelphia ' We encountered the most teinetiiou weather, and lost a man from the jib-boom We also lost a ptsaenir, who whs washed overboard ov a sea. On the lih ofvFeb runry. at noon, in Ion 46 c .56' West, Int." 45 34', we encountered fieMjice, and in making our way ihrumgu it, struck one or L ' . ' . i wo neavy pieces projecting" some tour or five reet out of the water. The weather was hazy, and we could not see far ahead The wind wa aft, and the ship being close ly surrounded by field ice. would not sterr well . We could not keep clear of the heavy masses of ice. At last, early the next morniiitr, the ship struck heavily up on an iceberg, and started planks from tb forefoot. The puaips were sounded and i. wn iuuiiii luni :tus snip was leaifing at a fearful rate. Two pumps were set g.jing, jand the crew and passengers divided into watches of Kvelve each to work them. A klqnanlity of sa il and crates of crockery in great umber were Irotsted out of the hold and . thrown overboard. By tbi3 me ns lbe leak was got at, and some pillows and clothing -were stuffed into it.! iiui they eefnel to do little good, and it soon be ame evident that the ship was filling rapid-iy- Preparations were then made to aban don her, ami take, to the boats. There were. fire boats attached to ih ship. which I think would have carried all on boanL As it was, some iwenly-five or thirty were left To go down with the "wreck, of whom all but the mate and carpenter were pas jsengers. - The boat that L was in was the last to shove off - II was th intention of the male and carpenter to have joined us ; but tbey went to sound the pomps, and wbile'so doing, our boat broke adrift ; In deed had we lain alongside va few minutes lonjrer we should have been swampecf. " , VVe soon lost sight of the ship, and found ourselves thirteen in 0"mberpon ihe wide ocean, with but about a gallon of wa-, ter. and i or eight pound of bread. The pariyjn trie boat consisted of the boatswain, a Scotch sailor five aen, Tour wo.i.eD,ahd ; af,,t', ".Panger-and myself. . One of Ihe women was the "mate' wife. . The weather was intensely cold ; the boat ship ped a great deal of water, and from the ef fects of both the sufferings that we were to encounter were not long delayed. The two other sailors, Mrs "Atkinson, and my self verj warmly clothed j bin the passen. 1 gers. with the exception of one lady, wen not. 1 bat lady was wrapped u in t wo blankets. We had a compasa in the boat but lr4. Atkinson, in jumping in, broke it It would have been of little use, the boa was so unsteady. w e made no ettort to reach itny particular point our only hoe iafing that we shouM be seen and picked nit by some passing vessel. '".Mrs. Atkinson took charge of the bread and water, ami wo'ild give but little out. . She and I be iO tSWalll lilalik most of the Wnfr. Both wre soon exhausted, and then the bitter colli began to leit upon us. It is my opm ion that if we had beeu well supplx-il wiih UkhI and water, most of us con Id have with stmai the con!. I'n ttietliiM iImv in e boat, a male passeii&er ilieiM Hi was verv ibuily lfe-seil -a lijjht coat being his only me. tie was fallowed tim next dayt try a woman, waose husbaml survived her for a day or two We this day saw a brig run ning ftee, with a liarht wind. Our hears were cheered with a prosM-ct of speedy relief.?; VVe raiseil a signal on an oar, and pulleit for her with all our strength. Wr .rained on her for some lime, and I had b-. gun to picture to inyself the hearty wel come i hat would be extended to the ship wrecKeu 07 ner captain ami crew, cut a reeze son sprung up. and our hopes were rushed. Sha gradually left us. 1 thought we were near enough to be seen from her defTc. but no notice was taken of us. .Not withstanding this great disappointment, I endeavorfd to keep up my spirits. On the fifth day, all those in the boat wnh me began to drink sea water I v -rned them against it, but they persisted I got very little of the water taken from tile ship, but 1 drank no sea water. When ray mouth be came very parched and dry. I rinsed it out with sea water, but swallow e I none. Some snow fell one day, which ( found a greaf relief. After the others be gan to drink the sea water they died in quick succession. On the seventh day the last one ilied, and left me the only living being in the boat The deed who first succumbed were thrown overboard; but the four last were beyond my little remain ing strength, and for more than two days. t was forced to sit with their distorted bod ies before me and wih but little hope that a better fate would be mine. The last who. died, was a passenger an English lady, of slight form Ihe mother of the lit tle girl. Her daughter preceded her a few hours. I cannot remember the order in which the 01 hers died. The oo.tiswaiu. the nijfhl before his death, became delirious and furious. He assaulted .Mrs. Atkinson. bit her severely on the arm, and scratched her. ; He threw the bucket overboard, and attempted lothrow the oars overboard al.-o He assaulted me with the canteen, and struck me a blow on the face, the mark of which i still bear. He died about noor. some hours before which, he became lis - iess ami stupid. Nearly all the others be came delirious. Mrs. ATkixsoN called in he most agonizing tones for water stretchinsr out her hands to receive if. fney all died like the boatswain, and in many instances, ihe first notice 1 had that another victim had fallen, was by his pitch ing over when the boat lurched heavily. .as . When all my companions were dead, I fixed an oar upright, wiih a white woolen shirl and a red silk handkerchief waving from the top, as a( signal. This wa the first permanent signal that had been erect- a r mm . eu. 1 iviy teet ami legs hart become very badly; frozen, and 1 was; har.ily able tt move, 1 lay in the bow of the boat. 11 would ship a sea occasionally, and I wou!d rouse myself and bail it out. i would then tie. down again. On the 28th of Februa ry, when I had been nine days in the boat, 1 saw a snip oearinir iiown towards me. I was now confident that ( would be res cued. I was directly in her trtth. " As she iieared me, she have-to and sent a boat to my' relief. Myself and the boat, which had borne, me sl long in mid ocean, were noiate.I on board. Ihe bodies were-con signed to the ileen. I found the shin 10 he the Grrmania, Capt Wood, from Havre for New York Cant. Wood, who proved to be a townsman of mine, his wife. Mr. Patron, (the Steward.) and the Ffrsi Mate, have been unremitting in their attentions Wv frozen limbs were put in cold water. and then bran poultices were applit-d to them. To this, and other judicious treat ment, whxb 1 received at the hand of toy rood friends onboard the Gi.rmaniaA I shall be indebted for the restoration of my limbs to use. I belong in New Bedford. Mass I have never supposed my constitution was especially rugged. I weighed about 146 pounds when took lo the boat ;. I attri bute the continuance of my existence be yond that of my companions to my ab staining from the use of sea-water. I used some of the ice that formed upon the boat It was only a little bitter, having lost the brackish taete peculiar to s-wnfr-r and was without ii injurious euci upon the system ; My companions appeared to suf fer pain after they had drank sea water. Regarding the scene on board the ship, when it was resolved to abandon her, the statement is silent I But we understand from the officers of the Germania.xhAX Nye told them that soma of those remained did so from choice ihe mate and carpenter among the number. This does not agree! with the above statement, nor harmonize wrh the presence f the mate's wife in the boat; but undoubtedly has some founda tion. It is not difficult 10 iraagino that 1 there were those who preferred the chanc-J es in a water logged ship to those in an open boat wilhou food or water in mid winter. There was no intimation that the crew followed ihtf example. of the firemen and others on board the Arctic, when she was lost. ?The want of an adequate sup ply of water is perhaps explained by a statement, not very clear, in a log found in the boat of Nyet (kept probably by the mate,) to the effect that the water tanks of be ship bad been stove in a violent storm a few days before entering the ice. v 1 he following are the last entries in the og above spoken of: ","".

A singular illustration of the c prices of justice, as administered tl the hands of men, was exhibited in London, on the IO1I1 f February, at a trial before Lord Chief Jusiice Campbell, in the Court of Queen's bench. The plaintiff in the case is a Miss Greaves, the daughter of a former officer in the Fusilier Guards, but more recently one of the Poor Act Commissioners. Ow- insr to the reduced circumstances of the family, Miss Greaves was obliged to re sort to tome occupation that would yield her an honorable sui port, and, according ly, with her sister had sought employment in one of the many fashionable millinery establishments of London. Miss Greaves had occasion one evening to make some small purchases at the linendraper's shop of Messrs. Sowerby & Tatton. 01. e of 'he most extensive establishments of the kind in the west end of London. Before leav- nr her home, she borrowed silver of her oxter two half-crowns and a shilling. She made her purchase, and paid for it. There was somedeh in giving her rhanir ; while she was waning in the shop, the cashier, accompanied by n policeman, ap proacheil, and charged her with uttering forged money 1 he young lady replied that she did not know the money was bad, and as proof of her mnorence offered logo wiih the police- man lo the residence? of ber sister which was only five minutes walk from the shop. and where the truth of her story could be tested. Mr. Wilson, the cashier of the es tablishment, would not listen 10 a word the poor girl said, and the policeman said she uitiet go with bun. It was remarked that payment in bad money had become so common, that it was necessary "to make an example." and accordingly 'an exam ple," was made of Miss Greaves. Notwithstanding her entreaties to be pared ihe isrnominy of a publis arrest, she wag taken by the policeman to the outside of the shop di or, and kept there for some time in the m dsl of a crowd, attracted round the shop by the entrance of. the K iceman, and the desire to get a fair view of an apprehended shoplifter, until at length h attendant who bad served her with the goo ! was readv to accompany the officer. She was then marched down Oxford street, the policeman in uniform by her side, to George street, St Giles. Here tba poor srirl's stitferinirs were renewed : the charge of passing bad coin was entered by the in- pector on duty ; the female searcher took ev ery I king off her, and even opened her mtmlh o see if any more counterieit half-crowns could be found; she was kept standing on he cold stone, without shoes or stockings, while her cloihes were ransacked : and she was then put into a cell (one of those horrible places so graphically described by he wiiiiesses who appeared before the Hyde Park liots Commission, and ihe ex istence of which is a disgrace to the En glish government), where she remained for bree hours, until bailed out She appeared next morning before the magistra'e and another gazing and gaping crowd, and although in the meantime the policeman bad ascertained the truth of Miss Greaves s story in every particular, and had communicated the same to Mr. Sower by, the proprietor of the shop; and although Miss Olivia Greaves, the sister of the ac cused, had gone to Mr. Sowerby, and con- hnned trie statement as to the borrowing of the money from her, nevertheless the charge was. deliberately . proceeded with on ihe morning of the 17ih of October, and Mr. Wilson and Miss Flat man gave their evi dence as the prosecuting witnesses. The charge was dismissed, the money being prov ed by a chemist to be good. V rOn the 12ih of November nearly a month afterwards an artfully-worued ad vertisement appeared in the Times ami Morntng Post, containing a quantity of special pleading on behalf of Messrs Sowerby and Tatton and their people, in which occurs the following passage : MVe deeply deplore the error which was tom outted. : . We are willing to do all in our power to make reparation, and we 'there fore voluntarily express our extreme regret to Miss Greaves for the pain and trouble we have most unwillingly occasioned her. and desire most fully to exonerate her from all blame.", . ' As the lady did not deem this a sufficient reparation, Mr. Sowerby then offered her the munificent sum of ten pounds, anT a greed to pay all expenses. - This offer, too, was refused,; and an action for damages was brought in the Court of Queen's Bench, Justice Campbell presiding. By mutual agreement of counsel, the case, instead ot being given to the jury, was .left to the ar bitration of the Judge, who decided that 10 was not enough; -the soar of 2f in lieu of 10. "Lord. .Campbell (be who wrote about the Lord Chancellors of En gland) said: "I am of opinion that the 10 paid into court is noi sufficient compensa tion for the plaintiff 1 entertain no doubt of the respectability jof the defendants, and that they meant to do what was right; but still t think their conduct was very harsh and very inconsiderate. This yournr woman (the plaintiff) spoke for ? herself; she carried along with her a letter of re commendation ; for never in my life, since 1 was called to the oar. have 1 seen a wi tless whose conduct in the witness-box was more unexceptionable. And 1 enteitaiu no doubt what her demeanor was when in ihe defendant's shop, tevted by ner demea nor to day. I ihink the defendants acted very, harshly in not sending for the sister .nd employ r, of the plaintiff. Tho very statement advertised by the defendant crave no reason why a lady like the plaintiff snouiit oe carneu inrougn me streets. I could have wished that that apology had c tiie sooner. It is true the defendant ex pressed his regret, but he did not do so till the 12ih of November, whereas this tran saction took place on ihe 16 h of October, and no apology was made until after in structior.s had been given to commence the action. Under all the circumstances, I un of opinion that the sum of 10 is not sufficient, but that an addilioncl sum of 10 hoy Id be given to the plaintiff by way of dartu - ges" - . , And so ended the affair. A young la ly, an officer's daughter, delicately reared, ml in ill health at the time,is suddenly arrested for an imaginary offence, subjec ted to the jeers and insults of the rabble, (ragged through the streets, ur, mured in a felon's cell, and when she brings an action for damages, recovi rs the enormous sum of 20! A very good remedy for the evil would be that suggested by a London pa per, viz., that the public should admire the cashmeres and bonnets in the windows of the fashionable West End emporiums but be particularly cartful to remain on the ov.1- s'de. . - FATAL ACCIDENT.
