From the Boston Morning Post. . . . THE SHIP WILLIAM BROWN. John Messer, one of the crew of the ship William Brown, Capt. Harris, which was wrecked in the ioe on the 19th of April, called on us onFriday and fur-
. L . J . . t . 1 , , 1 . .
iiisneu us wun tno ronowmg statement relating to the Iosh of the ship, and ihecircumstances connected with the heart-rending affair in the long-boat. It contain
many tacts which we have not seen published beforeHe spoke in the highest terms of Capt. Harris, as an able, experienced commander, and a generous, noble-hearted man. His statement, it will be seen, does not relieve the mate from any of the odium which public opinion has placed upon him for his barbarous, and, it would appear, unjuslifiahle treatment of the unfortunate passengers. Mr. Messer is slill in a very weak state of health, from his sufferinp-s in the
boat, and he fears that he will never perfectly recover: '' STATEMENT OF JOHN MESSER. I belonged to the mate's watch, and was below at the time the ship struck, therefore, lam unacquainted with the particulars relating to the fatal collision,
which caused the loss of the Win. Brown. We felt the collision below, but did not think of hurrying on deck, especially as we were not called. Nearly twenty minutes, I think; elapsed before we were called and then the not. unusual cry of all hands shorten sail, rousud us on deck. The topgallant sails, foretopmast studding sail, and other light sails were taken in. and
the topsails clewed down, and reef tarkles hauled out. The Captain then went down in the forecastle in order to ascertain what damage had been done; and upon ascertaining, he exclaimed "My God, we can't save the ship, it's. of no use clear away the lone boat."
1 he 1 umps had previously been rigged, and every effort used to keep her afloat, but without effect. The passengers also rendered every assistance in their power, and were willing to do anything for the safety of the ship. Tne long boat was cleared away, and provisions, water, a compass, quadrant, and several other articles were put on board of her. One or two of the passengers secreted themselves in her while she was yet on board, and were hoisted out in her. When she was in the water, the passengers made a rush, and I believe that several of them perished in their haste to get on board. In the meantime the stern boat was also lowered down, but as I did not see what transpired, I will not state anything upon hearsay. The boats both dropped astern, where they remained fast by their painters to the ship, until she was on the eve of sinking, when they were cut adrift. The ship went down in about three hours, I think, after she struck. There were forty-two in number in the long boat. "

SHALL SICKNESS OR HEALTH PREVAIL.
It is evident that the former will if there is not more care or
attention paid to ourselves. What are the primary causes of
the very sreat variety of diseases which we daily behold. Af
flicted nerson. were you not first attacked with hilt on the
stomach, attended with sickness, costiveness, a derangement pf
the stomach and digestive organs, (probably caused by indulging
too freely in rich food, a sedentary life, irregular meals, expo
sure, lale hours, intemperance, c) These mostly are the
cause of affliction at the present day. When these symptoms
occur, if you desire health to prevail, procure immediately Dr
Harlich's Compound Strengthening and German Aperient Pills, they are a sure medicine to remove these distressing attacks.
The properties of this medicine are nrst, 10 cleans e ise stomae and bowels, remove bile and billions matters, purify the Hood, which, when obstructed, subjects the body to pain and disease.
This is effected by a few doses of the German Aperient Pills. After this is accomplished, the Strengthening Tonic Pills, are
used to givestrenrth and vigor to the system, restore the debili tated functions of the animal economy, SfC. In a course of this treatment, the patient will be restoied to perfect health, when
all symptoms of dyspeptia, liver complaint, sick headache, pain in the side, limbs, and other bodily infirmities, will be completely eradicated.

June25,1841.-3w TOMLIU BEOl ULES.
At daylight, Capt. Harris told the mate the latitude and longitude, and advised him to steer N. W. The captain then took the names of the passengers and crew, after which the mate told him thai the long boat was very leaky, and could not live. Some communication, which I did not distinctly hear, then passed between the captain and mate, to which the captain replied, "I will not hear such talk." The mate then distinctly said "we must cast lots we cannot all live some must die, the boat is so leaky." The cap
tain again remonstrated with the mate, urging him to do the best in his power before he resorted to such measures.
Before leaving us, the captain addressed the boat's
crew encouragingly, desiring us to keep our hearts up, not to quarrel or fight among ourselves, but to be advised by the mate, and to do what he should desire us. He then bid us good bye, and in fifteen minutes or so he was out of sight. During the whole of the day, the weather was extremely cold, and the sea very rough. We rigged a drag with our oars, in order to keep the boat's head to the sea, and to break the force of the waves. Towards night-fall, the mate consulted, in a low voice, with several of the crew, about linhtenins the boat.
I was aft at the time with my back against the stern. At last he said to me and another man, who was near me, "Well, I suppose you have no objections to lending us a hand to lighten tha boat." I inauired how
he intended to do so! and while I was speaking, I heard a splash alongside, and the whole boat was in
an uproar, the work of death had commenced. The other man and myself both remonstrated arainst such
cold-blooded proceedings, and said "If we are to die, let us die fair let us cast lots."' "Very well," said the mate, "they will throw you over board next." I then drew my sheath-knife, and swore, that whoever
should lay a hand on me should share my fate. The mate then called a tall negro, one of the crew, aft, to toss me overboard, but when he saw my knife, he went forward again, and lent the others a hand. My
companion stuck close to me durinp; the whole of the
heart-rending scene, determined to defend himself to the last. ,
One old man, a native of Ireland, when about to be
seized, fell upon his knees and entreated them to spare
his life, and he would give them all he had. He then drew from his purse a number of sovereign's and offered them to the crew, but they were thrown aside
and himself passed overboard. A lad, about 14 years
of age, requested time to say his prayers, which was granted, and when he concluded he said, "I am now prepared I do not wish you to throw me overboard
will go myself," and he stepped off the gunwale of
the boat into the sea. Of all who were thrown overboard, not one, to my knowledge, succeeded in trettinar
on board again. There were no hands cut off, nor
any blood spilt, neither did any one, excepting the young man already mentioned, jump overboard volun-
The unfortunate passengers offered no resistance;
prayers and entreaties were all they used. Qh,
spare me! spare me!" several of them cried, even
while they were half overboard. I will not attempt s
description of this awful scene it would melt a heart of stone. I believe there were sixteen thrown over
board.
The boat was bailed out after she had been lightened; she then rode very well, and made but little water. The following morning I discovered a sail, and communicated the fact to the mate, who said "By God, Jack, you're a lucky fellow; you have saved your life." The ship that picked us up, as already known was the Cresent. So strong was my indignation against the negro, that upon reaching the Cresent's deck, I seized a heaver and threw it at bis head. All of the crew in the boat, excepting the mate and
another man, were foreigners, or as sailors say, Dutchmen, that is mm belonging to the continent of
Europe.
Upon our arrival at Harre in the Ville de Lvob, the
American consul, when made acquainted with tha facts, advised me and my companions to remain and
give our evidence against the mate and the crew; but
we declined, upon the ground that we conceived tee
testimony of Die passengers sufficient As he was not very urgent, we were liberated after an examina
tion, before the Board of Police.
