Intelligence from Honduras. OUR BRLIZE CORRESPONDENCE. Bruize, Honvvwas, Nov. 17, 1854. Loas of the American Bark Martha Ciark—Par- ticulars of her Voyage and Wreck—Siclness and Enfeebled Condition of her Crew—Destitute Sea- men—A Hint for the Cabinet-—Sale of an Ameri- can Brigantine— The Mahogany Trade—Cochi- neal, Indigo and Sarsaparilla Rates. hasten to inform you, via New Orleans, of the total logs of the Ameri*an bark Martha Ciark, from your city. She bad been down to Sam Juan de Nicaragua and discharged her cargo, taken in ballast, and was on her way to Roatan, where she wasto take in s cargo of fruit, and proceed to New Orleans or Mo- bile; but on the morning of the 20th ahe struck on the Cocrocoma reef, where she beat for thirty-six hours, then passed over the reef, went dowa bead foremost, and sunk in eighteen fathoms wa- ter. Her captain, officers, and supercargo got into the boata, and went to a key two miles distant, | where they remained about three weeks, until they were taken off by the sehooner Jane, which brought them to this port. When they left Greytown, two of the crew were down with the fever. After they got. to sea, the captain, mate, supercargo, and part of the crew, were also taken sick, and all were in this state when the reef was discovered; and although tae captain and all hands turned out, and attempted to put the bark about, yet so feeble and w«ak were they at this time, that with all their efforte they pom aula aba sic ‘the yards, and get her ab: Whsa they came in here, they were in the most wietobed condition imaginable. The aick men were sent to the public hospital, where they are er very well. ‘The captain aod supercargo are stil quite feeble, but start tais day, via Ruatsn, for New Orleans, on their way home. The mate leaves here in w few days for Liverpool, in a Hambarg ship. Poor fe'lows, I wish them a safe passage aud bestor Tuck next time. . While upon the subject of wrecks, allow m3 to urge you to ee the attention of your goverament to the matter of destitute Amerian seamen, who are left without means or friends on this coast, whea unfortunately they are cast away in these latitades. A large uumber are brought into this port and a-e left destitute, and in a short time become victims to the aigease taey bring wit them. ' [he authorities here have made ample provision for seamen in the hospital, where they are well taken care of, and would be all right, if they had means to take care of themnelves, or get away from here when they are discharges. I have seen more suffering and wietch- edness in some cases of shipwresked seamen in such csees than bas ever fallen under my notics in the whole course of my life. This ought not to ba; English aud French ssilors are sent home ia the royal mail steamers free, acd are supplied with a maintenance while here—and why should the sea- men from American wrecked vessels be left to the cold nazd of charity in their noar of peril aud dis- tress? ‘Tne United States owe much to the American sea- men— much of her unbounded prosperity has been effected and is still supported by their energy, acti- vity, and enterprise, and surely she should make rovisions for them when stranded on foreign shores. Your people generally think that such provision has been maco— but they are sadly mistaken. Congress oes allow a Consul to psy 124 cents a day, for # aea- man’s board, aud the Secretary of the Treasury is al- lowed to pay anythiag above that sum which tae Coa- sul may pay—if in h.s judgment it seems necessary. Thema Consul may give ao order on his govern. ment for $10 a3 passage mooey for each man. Yet, even this amall sum, is not paid without great diffi- culty avd expense. But this is only in cases where there are Consuls, Vice-Uonsula, or commer- cial agente. And nothing is provided for seamen who are brought into a port where there are none of these officers. 1 might fill tae Heranp wita cases on this matter and net exhaust ths subject, but | leave it in Ka bands; and if, by your iatluence, tais great re- lorm—so much reqniset—is broug st about, you will have cause of congratulation, aud the proud satis- faction of havicg accomplished anotier valsable re form, which will demand, and I have no doubt re- ceive, the lasting gratitude of every American sea- man and lover of humanity, news from Honduras and the interior will * reach you much sooner than this, so { wiil aay no thing hereafter on thore subj-cts, At Omoa, a short time s nce, an American brigantine was con- demned and sold for anout $1,200.

That speculation bas had a result which every prudent person ac- quainted with the first principles of political econo- my must bave foreseen. But of this sort of fore. sight very little was exhibited, even by mon from whom it mignt most have been expected; and how- ever beneficial in the end these railroads may prove, | whether ia their effect up>n the value of real es- tate or as private property, very few ot thstr origi- Bal stockholders seem likely to make much out of them—st least not if they tind themselves under the necessity of paiting with their stock in the present state of the market. Nevertheless, there is nothiag in the present state of thinys to excite any apprehension of a crisis like that of 1827-42. In the first place, that crisia was greatly aggravated in its resulta by the efforts made to stave it offand overcome it. Taese efforts con- sisted first in a suspension by the banks, and se- condly in immense loans obtaised in Europe by the sale of State boncs, and through the management of the Philadelphia Biddle k, by which the crash waa aggravated just in proportion aa it was postponed. As to borrowing money in Hurope, that, fortunately, is outof che question. We came to the end of that rove some time éince. The re- cent decline in the exchanges, by checking the ex- portation of specie, has taken away the on)y ground upon which a suspension of specie payments could possibly be suggested, while ths closing of sa many weak banks haa sbut the mouths of those fcom wbom such a ruinous proposal would be moat like- ly to proceed. One great inducing cause of the crisis of 1837 was the short harvest. The present harvest is al- leged to be somewhat short, but there is a great dift- feretce between the two cases. Then we were ia- porters, now we still continue exporters, and indeed it is the toreign demand rather than acy deficien- cy im the supply for home use that keeps up the TOP. 7 The railroad expenditure is already checked and is being fast reduced witnin safe limits. Tae bal- ance ofthe foreign trade is turning in our favor. There is no suspension of specie payments to tempt men to endeavor to escape from one embarrassméns by plunging headlong into others. The railroads and buiidings, and other costly improvements of the last seven years,are by DO means money throwa sway. Lhey are productive investments, thoagh generally perhaps not tothe extentof tne expocta- ‘ona of those by whom they are made. Thay are substantial additions to the wealth of the coustry, ard will redound greatly to the enrichmeat of capi- taliste into whose hands they are passing. The cozrae of curtailment and s<ttlement which is rapidiy going on, qill, 10 doubt, swamp a num- ber of individuais greater or less—but except ia some specia! locuities of limited extent, there seems no reason toexpect any such utter derange- ment of affairs as some forebodera apprehend. Tae city of New York is no doubt the plscein which the disorder exhibits iteelf with the greatest severi- ty, but even there, we apprehend, thiogs are by no means likely to turn out 80 badly as some seem to anticipate. At all events, it ssems to us that those journals were 80 active in stimulating to all ‘sorta of speculations—even to the absurdity of Pa- cific railroade—ought not to be the first to raise the cry of all’s lost. The Fugitive Slave Excitement in Chicago. {From the Chicago Press, Dec. 9.] During the forenoon it was rumored that warrants for some fitteen fagitives were in the hands of U.S. Marshal, Co}. Harry Wilton, and that an ep would be made to arrest them during the day. also leaked out, about noon, that in antici of resistance, the Marshal had ordered Light Guards, Capt. W; and Company of National Guards, Shirley, to assemble at their armory at 2 o'clock P. M., and to hold themselves tpteed very rapidly through. the city. There was ead ver, t q was por a ang jo and fro t> ani at the facta in the case, and crowds assembled at the straet cor- ners to discuss the matter and look out for whatever might occur, Towards 3 o’clock P. M., it became known that the Light Gnardshad dispersed. I+ was also asserted that the claimants had jeft the city by the morning train for St. Louis, and furthermore, that the fugitives, having got an intimation the da; before of what was being done, were out of reac! of the Marshal, After this the crowds at the cor- ners seon thinned off, and cur streets resamed their usual appearance. The facts in the cage we learn to be substantially as follows:—There wore warrants ia the hands of Colonel Witton for four (not fifteen) fugitives. Two of these were issued some time ago—one as early as in October—the other two were of more recent da'e, The claimants bad been iu the city for more than a week, and hed brought Colonel Wilton here from | his residence in Springfleld, for the express pur- pose of making the arrests. The Colonel uaderstands the state of popular sentiment bere to be as we | have described it above, and as a matter of precan- tion, before proceeding to maks arrests, order- ed the two military companies to hi themselves in yendnecs as above. Captain Wymas, of the Light Guard, was not in town, and the command of that company devolved upon Lieut. Hardiag. Not being satisfied of the Marshal's power to call the peor gr out, Lieut. Harding, we under&’tand, ap- plied to Jadge Di key for nis opinion upon tue sud- ject, which was readily given, and was to the effect, ‘hat the Marshal had no such power. Upon hear- ng oe opinion the company 5 ‘the N. Guards remained in their armory until it became apparent there would be no Lae gre | demonstrations an parade duty. not learn why no attempt was made by the Marshal to the warrants, backed as he was by the military. 1¢ was esid by some that the slaves hai goue out of town, by i secreted, and by still others they had neither gone away nor were they secreted but were engaged as usual in ordinary nts. Wekaow not which story was the true one, but wo do kaow that no ar- rest waa meade, nor ‘do we believe there was aay direct attempt to execute the warrants.

Here he remained for abouts year and a half, when he departed by the overland route to California, during the excitement in the United States in 1848. He remsined in California epgaged in the busivess of mining until the latter part of 1852, when he returned home, having acca mulated alittle money; aud in the spring of 1853 he came to this city for the purpose of stady: medicioe, and became a student a the Ciaciana’ College of Medicine and Surgery, During that spring and following fall and winter he attended lectures at the above college, end part of the time was engaged as an at in a drug store on Sixth street. Fer a short period he acted as honse surgeon at the Marine Hospital, bot left there about one month before the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Arrisop.

But how would tare the North without the pro- ducts of the South, and without s Sonthern market? This is the naked and the true question, and it is the one that every Northern man should always ask himself whenever he begins to rave and talk about emancipation, An almost entire destruction of the Northern shipping interest would be the first blow; then would follow-the manufacturing, and finally the mercantile. In fa:t, every inte-est would suffer, and the desolation and ruin would be as complete as if a victorious army had burnt and sacked every town and village throughoutthe country. We could very easily elaborate ‘gcton of all the trath of our statement. The effect u; Europe, especially Engtand, would be little less disastrous than upon our coun- try.
