THE CAPTAIN AND CREW SAVED &ec, &e. &c. Our Long Branch Correspondence. Lone Braxcu, N. J., Dee. 22, 1865. ‘Tho gale of Wednesday was very severe along the Jerecy coast. Several vessels were driven ashore and four lives were lost. For some four days preceding the atorm the inhabitants of the Branch noticed the heavy and continued roughness of the surf that beat upon the beach, which was a stire indication of heavy weather at sea, and in fact its turbolency was a subject of general yemark and comment among the wreckers and fisher- men of this partof the Jersey coast. It is supposed here, by those who are capable of judging of such mat- ters, thal the storm extended as far south as Cape May, and it isfearod © large number of versels may have gon ashore between this piace and the Capo during the snow storm of Jost Wednesday night. It was remarked during the whole of Wednesday that an unusually large gumber of vessels were visible from the beach, outward ‘ound, and fears are entertained for their safety, as they were close in shore when the storm overtook them. All day Tuesday it blew pretty fresh, but remained clear during the entire day and night; but Wednesday was ushered in with murky, threatening clouds, and wind Dlowing stif from the northeast. Between nine and ten @’elock in the morning of that day the clouds broke and the gan shone forth brightly, giving promise of clear weather to the outward and inward bound mariners, It continued clear, but blew strong from the north-northeast and worth throughout the day, until about six o'clock that evening, when a storm of sleet and snow got in, turning to rain about midnight, and raging with unabated fery unti! after one o'clock on Thursday morning, Then 4 began gradually to subside, and towards daylight of that day it entirely ceased, with the exception of the high wind, which prevailed during the whole of Thurs- day arid Thureday night. THE WRMOKS. During the prevalence of the gale, and while the storm was yot at its height, tho schooner Eveline Rickey, Captain Francis Fisher, from Bristol, Pennsylvania, Yoaded with coal, bound for Pawtucket, Rhode Island, went ashore about haif-past eleven o'clock P. M., and was a total loss, The captain, together with his wife, mate and cook, were drowned, two seamen alone of the Mi fated verse! succeeding \n reaching the beach, where they were }sindly carod for by Mr. Samuel ©. Morria, of the Pavilion Hotel, the deputy wrecking master at the Branch. The names of the uufortunates who were lost on the Eveline Rickey aro:— Captain Francis Fisher, of Philadelphia, Min. Sarah F. Fisher, the wife of the captain, formerly of Brooklya. Williaa —— (inst nome not known), mate of the Robert Ragley, tho cook The nemes of those saved dre—John Lewis Talbot, of Nova Scotia, nnd Nenry Smiih, a Norwe Captain Fisher war a man woll liked by his crew, and had only been married during the short apace of four or five months. Ho was about twenty-seven years of age, and it is supposed, judging from the character of some of bis wearing apparel that wae washed upon tho beach, that hic at one tine was on officer in the United States navy. His wife was a young woman, apparently bat nineteen, or, at the most, tweuty years oid, and, from 2 package of letters that found in the surf near her lifeless body, it ts thou; ant her mother, Mrs, John &M.

CAPTALN FISHER AND CREW. The bodies of Captain Fisher, his mate, Mr. William (last name not krown), und the cook, Robert Ragley, have not as yet been recovered, It is not at all improbable that their bodies have become jammod be- tween some of the timbers of the vessel and will un- doubtediy rémain in that position for some days. ‘The entire crew, including the captain, were all young men, Captain Fisher being the only married inan on ‘board the vessel. The two seamen who managed to reach the beach saved. nothing but what they had upon their backs when the vessel first struck. ‘These poor men ere now without even a change of underciothing, and nob a cent in the world wita which to help themselves. None of their clothing that could hereafter be of the slightest possible service to thein has been recovered, and tho poor fellows are now tna strange place, without friends, and both are in a Very distressing and destitute condition. THN SCHOONER JAMES 1. CRANDALL. The schooner James T. Crandall, of Fail River, Captain George R. Gage. bound from Georgetown, Va., to New York, with a cargo of coal, went ashore about the same hour, a little more than a mile to the south of the schooner Eveline Rekey, on Dil beach, and will, even should ie weather hold favorable, stand but a very ei of ever getting of, Throvgh the timely Mr. Charles H. Green, the wrecking master ra ‘ernment Station No, 4, the officers and of the vessel were all saved. She lies stern on, and ie filled with water. The James T. Crandall is a fore and afi rigged schooner, of two hundred ions burden, and is owned im Full River. The cargo is insured m New York; but there is no insurance on the vessel. SAVING OP THE CREW OF THE JAMES T. CRANDALL. ‘The crew, six in number, officors and men ail told, re- mained on the wreek until daylight, when they were discovered in their perijous position by Mr. Charies HL Green, who quickly summoued others to bis assistance, and, aided by those about him, was soon pane to guccor those on beard the vessel, The small mortar with whieh the wreckers throw a liferope w vessels in tress was soon placed in proper condition for perform- ing its mission, and, being sighted by Myr. Green, the match was applied ‘and the ball sped on its errand of mercy. ‘The schooner jay in rather av awkward position, and one which did not altogether favor the throwing of the rope successfully; but Mr. Greon bad taken auch an excellent aim at the vessel that the very first shot roved, suiticiont and Coptain Gage remarked that the ine could not have been thrown better had it been per- formed from bis own vessel's deck. After the line had been fastened to the schooner a siouter one was fastened to {ion the beach, and, by the aid of the rat one, this Was hauled on’ board. With this rope commumeation was bad with the veseel and seve- ral messages passed between her and those on shore. Captain Gaze sent 2 mogaage saying that his vessel was fast breaking up, and requericd them to assist him ox coon as possible, to which bo received this answer:— “Be of good cheer. We willsave you. The life car is now on iis way here,” The car soon ed the spot, and was immediately despatched to the James J. Cran- dail, and safely brought off three persons et a time. After making two trips all of those on board had been rescued and were cared for by Mr, Green, who did all in his por to make the unfortunate men as comforta- ble as cireumstaness would permit, Great credit ie due to Mr. Green, tho wrecking master at Die}, and Mr, War- doll, the acent at this piace tor the Board ot Under- writera, for tho timely and efficient aid rendered by them in the hour of need to those who etood in want of their skill and assistance, STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN GAGE, OF THE SCHOONER JAMES J.

Starting from the genial warmth of @ bright fire, yoor correspondent went forth into the chilly night air and wended his way, about twelve o'clock last night, to the jong sandy beach that was white with the foam of the angty surf to ascortatn whether any more of the bodies of (he victitas of the Inmentable disaster had been found. The new moon had retired hours before beneath the weaterv horizon, and it wae by tho light of the myriad. stars alone that twinkled brightly in the Constellation of Orion that wo were enabled to pick our way along the wreck-strown shore, As we proceeded cautiously towards the wreck we stumbled ever aud anon over pieces of tim- her, boxes, spars, ropes and sal's; and it was only by dint of the greatest perseverance that we nally sne- coded in reaching the wreck of the Evel.ne Rickey. She lay with her bow well on the beach, and a part of hor stern post was j@t barely visible above the water. Sho is broken into thousand of poces, A mote compieto wreck was never seen than that of this ill-fated vessel. Just out of the water, where the high tide hed deposited them, lay ® confused end inexiricablo masse of tho wrecked material, consisting of spara, portions of her , pieces of trunks, &c., all secorely fastened toge- y the ropes aud strips of canvass Loat were still ached to the masts. The night wae ciear and cold, and the lord eounding surf beat upon the shore in mony. tonus tones, while the breakers made ead moan through tho timbers that still held together, and which. like on fingers, loomed up in the starlight and pointed ven, For mote than half a mile to the northward of the schooner tho shore Was strewn with fragments of ‘ho wreck and torn pieces of wearing — and mauy tons of the coal with which she was Inden Tay seat along the beach for more than ® quarter of a milo, As wo tpumped along to the flere mutterings of the viant waves we came upon different pe of wreckers, who were picking up the coal@and heaping It ap an’sina!l piles upon the beach, and who while thus engaged were also keeping @ sharp lookout for any corpse that might Fico to the surface of tho water.

H, BOR An unusually depraved and vicious colored boy, ouly fifteen years of age, was yesterday arraigned before Jus- tice Dowling, at the Lower Police Court, on the charge of attcrapting to commit mauider. It appears that for some time past the boy, whose name is Edward Brown, has been in the employ of Mr, Walter William Broom, re- siding at No, 863 Broadway. Last Saturday evening Mr. Broom accused the boy of having stolen some papers, and disel him, ‘This act on the part ef Mr. Broom 80 excited anger of the dosperate bey that he re- solved to meke an elloyt to take his life or do him great bodily harm. With this end in view the boy proceeded to Mr, Broom’s _ resi- dence last Monday morning for the purpose of executing his desperate Pio ag but es Mr. Broom was up aud dressed the designs of the young rascal were wirated. Ho returned to the house in on Juesday morning, but found that his intended victim bad left his room. Wednesday morning, however, Edward took an earler start, and on meeting ae house of Mr. Broom went up stairs, entered tho room, ‘and, opening the window, steppid out on the roof of a rear shed. from this roof Edward opened a window which admitted him to Mr. Broom’s office. All that now separated him from his intended victim was a sliding door, The boy moved the door sufficiently for him to seo that Mr. Broom was stil asleop, and, sliding the door ver qiiotly 20 as to admit his body, he took a heavy hat which he found in one of the rooms, and crept to the whore Mr. Broom was Jying..

The wound was. dressed, aud when ablo Mr. Broom, who had no suspicion as to who had made the attempt on his life, proceeded to Police He uarters and stated the cas» to Cap- tain Young, of the detective force, It waz apparent to Captain Young that the violence had been inflected by some person well acquainted with the location of the rooms, and suspicion naturally fetl on the colored hoy. Search was accordingly io for Kim, and yesterday morning detectives MacDongail and G:lmor arrested Ed- ward, who confessed to assaulting Mr. Broom, and also to stealing the money. ‘The prisoner at tirst suid that he intended to kill Mr. Broom, bat subsequently stated that his only object was to disable hi: for a long period of time, so that he could not appear and prosecute him for stealing. Mr. Broom yesterday proceeded before Justice Dowling and preferred a charge of felonions as- sault against the accused, setting forth in bis aiidavit that ho struck bim with the sharp edge of a hat het, winie he was lying asleep in his bed, @iih the felontous iptent to take his life, Mr, Broom likewise charged the prisoner with forcing an entrance to bis premises, To both complaints the young desperado pleaded gu ity, and the magistrate committed him to the ‘Tombs for’ trial without bail, The following is the statement of the privoner, as taken before Jus.ice Dowling :-— On Saturday night, when Leame buck from doing an errand, Mr. Broom acer sed me of stoniing some of his papers. i told him I did not take them; then be said he did not want me any more. Wien I went home on Satur- day night Lmade up my mind that } would do something to him go that he would not make a complaint against me. On Monday morning I went to his place and found the duor open aud went back home again. On Tuesday morning I went there again and found the door the same way.

INTERESTING TO BROKERS—A “SHORT” GOLD BAG. Before Judge Alker, A strange cose came up before this court yesterday, and attracted the attention of a large number of Wail street brokers. On the 24th of February last Mr, Samucl M. Mills sold to Mr, N. Brandt and o broker a bag of gold, purporting to contain five thousand dollars. This bag changed handstonrteen times on the game day, th» only test applied ee! to weigh it, The fourteenth parehaser was Mr. A, Meyor. He opened the strings of the precious article, and ‘lot the cat out of the bag’? in the shepe of number of coppers instead of 4. On counting over the amount, he found but foar thousand six hundrod and ninety dollars instead of the five thousand. He atoncs made a reclamation on the person he bought it from, and that individual transferred the compiatnt vo the shoulders of the twel(th purchaser. ‘Thus it went back to Mr. Brandt, and he paid the nvi ing $310, but ut once ascigned his claim to a lawyer named J. D. Reymeri, who commenced an action against Mr. Mills to recover ‘that amount. Defendant's counsel moved to dismiss the complaint on tho ground that there was no evidence to show that there was any deiicieucy in the bag ai the time it was delivered to Prandt, which motion was denied by the Court. The defence traced the bag to the Park Bank, from which it was delivered i the forenoon of the day in question by the special teller, It passed through the hands of three parties before it came into Brandt’s po selon, ‘and i was proved that up to that time it con| the full amount marked on the outside, Defendant’s counse! offered to show by the eec- retary of the Gold Board, Mr. Moves, that there was arale of the Gold Board requiring a party to give his due bill for a claini made upon him in such a cuse as the present before he could possibly ascertain if any real deliciency existed, such a cixim to be afterwards ad- justed by the board. The offer was refused by the Court. 1b wes urged, on the part of the defence, that the deficiency in the gold in question had been arbitrated by tho |, and had been dismiseed, on tho ground that there Was no ovidenco to how that the deficiency existed atthe time the bag was delivered to Brandt, Motion also refused. The case then went into the hands of the Jury, but they were unable to area, and were therefore dusch. ” G, W. Stevens apy for the plaint:ff and J. K. Hili tor the defences, The court was crowded with brokers and ‘curb atone” men daring the hearing of the case, ond all seemed very much interested in the issue, which, they imagined, would determine In some manner the loose manner of transacting business among thor and the facil:ties for peculation which exist at present in the!r delectable headquarters.
