Before the hour of opening, the Know Nothings rallied in full force at all tie ward rooms, and wherever there was a vacancy In the list of ward officers, they promptly voted in their previously selected substitutes. During the morning there was a large preponderance of Know Nothing bal- lots cast, but towards noon the other parties partially rallied, though not in sufficient force to prevent a decid- -ed defeat. * Gardner's clection by the people is considered sure. He is 9,000 ahead in towns already heard from.

The Late Trip of the St. Louls, TO THR EDITOR OF THR HERALD. As one of the passengers who have recently performed the voyage {rem Havre to New York, on board the steam- ship St. Louis, I cannot forbear to express thus publicly my sense of the eminent qualities of seamanship and command which distinguished Capt, Eldridge, during a passage of unusual embarrassment and danger. In this | appreciation of the qualifieations of the commander of the St. Louis, as well as its public testification, I have every reason to believe that all my fellow passengers mast | heartily concur, The late voyage was performed, as above intimated, under circumstances of extreme hardship and diffienlty, not to say of perilous exposure, During thirteen out of the elghteon days i ite continu. ance, the path of the vessel was swept by « constant suectenion of territic gales, which not only tested the utmost powers of the ship, but called for continued ex- ereise of eminent nautical «kill, vigilance and courage. on the part of hor commander. In the display of all these qualities Capt. Eldridge cvineed on all occasions an ability and promptitude equal to the emergency; and my fellow passer at Yeast, will have no difficulty in re- cognizing this as distingnished that almost the whole voyage was a nerlesof dificult aud trying emergencies. Independent of this testimony to the marked ca) lity and fidelity of when duty, on the deck of his ship, it ts but justice and truth to him to add, that his well-carned reputation as a com- mander, his frankness of manner hin unconscious exhibition of those sterling qualities which mark thorough Leva bake! the undenfable causes which e: duced many of bis passengers, and writer of this testimonial, to embark upon ship an- der his command.

About the 224 of September last she sailed from the | Port of Bremen, under command of Capt.

At an early hour yesterday morning sho was perceived lying with broadside to shore, with a very heavy sea on, which was brenking over her and washing her decks. At 12 o'clock, noon, there were peceptible signs of her breaking up. From the moment she was seen every effort was made by the people on shore to save the passengers, Early in the afternoon they had succeeded in passing lines to the ship, and in a short time after, Coptain Heary, with twenty of the passengers, was Innded in safety, From them it was learned that before they left the vessel, over one hundred und fifty of the remaining pas- sengers wore dead, having beon either smothered between decks, drowned by the flow of water, (which was contin- ually sutsing over them), or been swept overboard, Renewed exertions were made from the beach to save the balance of the people on board, but up to the mo- ment of our last accounts, they were attended with very ‘The New Fira was conengace; C.

Craie, Esq.:—As promised this morning by tele- graphie, I proceed to give you what particulars T have | witnessed of the dreadful wreck at Long Branch. | The news of the wreck of the New Era ashore at Log | Branch reached me about eight o’elock this morning by telegraph, and I immediately conveyed the intelligence to | Captain Reynolds, of the Achilles, who was then | lying-to off the Hook. While waiting an answer from W | B. Jones, as to whether he should proceed at once to the | wreck, or go to the city for the wrecking schooners, a message came from Mr. Morris, at Long Branch, that the ship ashore had three hundred and sixty passengers on | board, and was fast breoking up. Upon this, Captain R, decided to go at once to the scene of the wreck, to | co-operate with those already on the spot in saving life. | We loft the Hook at half ‘past nine, in a dense fog and sout!< rly wind, which raised a very heavy head swell. | The fog, however, 0 increased in density as to render it impossible to discern objects further than the vessel’s length, much less to keep sight of the shore at a safe distance, or see objects near it. We, however, kept on, until we must have been within a short distance of | where the wreck Iay;*but as it was imponsible to see or | do anything, Capt. R., after waiting some time, put the vessel's head again to the northward, When opposite the Highlands, the fog suddenly lighted up, so that the land could be distinctly seen, and we again steored to the southward, in search of the wreck. About 8 o'clock we came in sight of her, lying broad. side to the beach, heading to the southward, with her fore, main, and mizen topsails close reefed still standing. On reaching her, she proved to be level with the water and full, and the swell breaking in heavy surges across her decks. We had already passed many pieces of the ‘wreck, and half a mile further on we saw the body of a ttle child, apparently about four or five years old, and fn quick succession also that of a man, stripped of cloth. ‘ing, and others with clothes on—four or five bodies in all. As we approached the wreck, 50 as to get a nearer view, a most spectacle met the eyes. ‘The jib-boom, rigging and top of the ship, fore and aft were led with human beings cliely prcket to- | vector, and clinging to each other and to the ropes, 4 ylides sip surges to and fro with exch peturning wave, which broke into spray far into the rigging and over the ship, drenching und suffocating the ‘passengers, while the poor creatures filled the air, with the most eoul-larrewing and pitiful outories for assistance. Oa the beagh were sowe two hundred persona, gathered in eroups, “appezently consulting as to how to act, while (thers sat leisurely upon the gunwale of the boats, which the heavy surf rendered it certain destruction to jaunch, We saw several beats upon the shore, apparently well adapted for the purpose, and a crowd of persons dragging ts long life-bont toward the beach, where it was left, and | no further attempt was made to launch it. coined, _ We sawno line fiom the ship tothe shore, and no life-car. From tho fact that what, appeared the ship's boat was lying on the beach, we judged tho officers and erew, or most of them, must have landed or been thrown ashore in her. The tide was now about at its full—the wind had dled away, and a slight breeze »prung up from off shore, which greatly increased our hopes that the swell would go down with tho tide, and render it possible for the boats to be launched from shore. As to" ourrcl:os, we found we could do nething. The stearocr, which is employed expressly by the un- Seryriters to render assiftance to, vessels ashore, has not the sign of a surf-Loat on board—nothing but two miserable yawla, both of which would scarcely float the vessel's crew, were she vinking, and one of them could not font herself if put overboard. Not a spar, line, or life-preserver—not a picce of cork big enough to float a drowning dog. By 4%; o’clock the swell hadso mach subsided that every passenger could have been rescued had there been a surf-boat on board, and there was not @ man, from the fireman to the pilot and captain, who would not have rejoiced at the opportunity of snatching the poor sufferers fcom death had they the means of doing it. By whose neglect is It that these steamboats are not provided with surf-boats for such dreadful emergencies as this? Still hoping for a movement toward Iaunching the boats from shore, wo continued painful spectators of the scene, ringing our bell to encourage them, and beck- oning to them on the shore to launch the boats.

ELIAS SMITH, Of the News Yacht of the Associated Press. THE LATEST FROM THE WRECK. Dra Bracu, Nov. 13—1 P. M. The ship New Era will be a total loss. The captain (Henry) and some twenty passengers are saved. The New Era sailed from Bremerhaven on the 28th of Sept. ihe sea is higis and the weather foggy. The ship lays broadside to the sea, andevery exertion is being made to ave more of the passengers. Sven o’Croox P. M. The ship rvemaind in the same position as before re- ported, brondside to the sea, which runs mountains igh, and renders it impossible for the tug boats to ren er any assistance. The sea is breaking over the wreck, ind before dark we could see every available space in he rigging filled with probably some two hundred per: Not less probably thaw seventy-five have already been washed overbonrd, and from present indications « reat many more will be Lurled into the sea before any effectual assistance can be rendered. All the balls at the station were shot over the ship vithont being able to rend a line on board from the hore, except in one case, when & life boat was immediately ent out to the wreck, ‘end Captain Henry and eight or en others got into it; but it was instantly capsized and turned completely aver twice. Captain Henry and four thers clung to the boat and succeeded in reaching ke shore, Unfortunately, at the time the life boat capsized, the eable from the shore to the chip gave way, “and there was then no remedy but to end to another station and precure more balls for the vurpose of throwing another line over the wreck, and uot an instant was lost in sending to the nearest life- boat station for this purpose. The ship ts a perfect wreck, und there is not the leas} hope of saving anything. Should the heavy’ sea continuo during the night, it is ~carcely possible that more than a very few of the pas- engers now on board or holding on to the rigging, ean te sayed—and it is not at all improbable that every sou will be washed overboard before daylight. All the passengers are Dutch or German, gid as there no one here who understands their language, we ar not able to obtain from those who reached the shore any nformation In regard to the condition of things on board, which undoubtedly is bad enough. Captain Henry is active and energetic in efforts to ex- cnd relief to his suffering passengers and crew. ‘The ehip went on thie morning at about seven o'clock, in a dense fog. {A later despatch states that the ship was settling, and at eight o’elock was nearly level with the sea, which was then making a clean breach over her, and it was not thought possible that the passengery could hold on mach longer. A second line bad been thrown from the shore across the deck of the ship, but the passengers and crow appear to have been too much exhausted to avail them- elves of it, and when the last messenger left the scene of the disaster, the genera! opinion was that the ship must go to pieces very speedily, and in that case proba- bly every soul on bourd would be Jost.)
