TO THE PUBLIC?ENLARGEMENT OF
THE HERALD.
Having determined as soon as arrangements can be
amde, to enlarge the Hekali> to at least one third over its
present size, we shall, with the permission of our kind
and numerous patrons, say a few w ords on this subject,
more interesting to us than to them, urn) then start afresh
on our delightful and pleasant course.
It is yet hardly /vnr month* since the Herald rose
but undying energy of mind and spirit. During this
brief'period, we Imvi struggled with competition as
numerous and powerful as the elements themselves, j
Yet the independent, honorable, and liberal plan on
which the Herald has been conducted, has attained a
complete victory over interested opponents and private ,
foes. The generous public has nobly sustained us.
In the short periot of three months und a few days, the i
Herald has reached a circulation among business men, I
the intelligent public, a nd families of all classes,/?**- timet \
<u largt as any small paper ever did in the same period,
and alreudy at this day, fur beyond the city circulation I
of any single six-jtenny paper now published in Wall i
street, not even excepting the Courier 6l Enquirer.
Our advertising patronage lias even increased beyond i
this ratio. We appeal to undeniable farts?to the |
columns of the paper itself f?r the truth of what we say. i
On many occasions we have had to leave out adver- )
titters for several days, in order to inuke rootn lor the i
crowd asking admission. The enlargement of our pa- I
per, as soon as we shall be prepared to carry it into ef- i
fecrt, will enable us, we hope, to deal equally and libe- \
rally to all our kind advertising customers hereafter. j
Meantime we shall endeavor to surpass even onr former
efforts. The merchants generally are just beginning
to find that the small daily press is becoming a
much better.vehicle for advertising than the large ten
dollar papers. One advertisement for a week during
die business season, is found to be more serviceable in
the Herald than a dozen hid away in the Courier and
Enquirer at forty dollars u year. People see, read, and
remember. This tells at ouce,. on buying and selling.
Here, therefore, is the very natural cause of the remarkable
revolution now going on in the newspaper press ;
of New York. The Herald has probably, as much as !
any,contributed to elevate the character and purifv the
morals of the " penny papers," as we are called in con- I
tempt. Before we started this journal, the penny pa- '
pers were generally considered lovr, vulgar end ignor- !
ant. Having had a long experience and association
with the Courier and Enquirer of this city, and several
other leading papers in the country, we come into the j
field " armed cap a pie"?" from head to foot," and !
srave the miniature dailv press a tone and a character !
which have called forth the fears and the laughable '
reprobation of every ten dollar paper in Wall street.?
On this point so extremely jealous are our old and kind
associates of the Courier and Enquirer and the Evening j
Star, that they will not exchange with us, one of them I
not even for friendship, love or money.
It in a fortunate circumstance for the Courier & En
quirer that the United States Ilauk has closed up its j
newspaper loans?for if, by any hook or crook, we |
could get a loan of one third of the $52,765, we j
would in two years, row that blundering concern clear
up Salt river. As matters now stand, we give them
Jive or six years to wind up their rickcitv affairs.
There is no mistake in our progress?in our character?in
our determination?or in llw popularity of our
course. The first men of the country subscribe to the
Herald. Not longer ago than Saturday, we had an
order to send our paper by mail to Washington, to the
Minister of one of the leading powers of Europe.?
Shoals of members of Congress, diplomatists, &c., have i
ordered the Herald, and we learn that it is a constant
companion of the breakfast table of the President and .
Vice President at Washington. With these remarks? i
thanking our kind patrons for past favors, and soliciting
their continuance only while we deserve it?we briefly
wish them, in anticipation, a happy?happy?happy
New Year, and many returns of the same. The ladies,
a few of (hem, we shall call on personally, on the day
itself, and say the same with all that devotion which '
ought to be so fervently breathed forth to the Divinities i
of Earth below.

Consul, lieen present, when their depositions were
taken.
On the oth of November Inst, the brig Edgar sailed
from Quebec, for Liverpool, w ith a cargo of Lumber.
The crew consisted of nine men, including the captain,
and also two bovs There were also four steerage passengers
on board. Favoring bree7.es wafted the hapless
vessel clear of the dangerous St. Lawrence, and the
hearts of all on board were gladdened by the prospects
of a speedy termination of their voyage, and a joyous
meeting with their friends, relations, and the tteloved
ones of their hearts. But alas! how sad the change,
how drendful the reverse, brought on in a few short
hours ! On the 22d of the same month, a tremendous
gale sprang up from the N. W. The sea was running
very high, and tin the evening of the 24th, they were
obliged to take in all sail, and heave the vessel to under
a hammock in the main rigging. A mere ealo of wind
brings no terror to the heart of a true sailor. A good
sea boat, and plenty of sea room, and a snilor is sutis
Sed, as it re ...ids personal safety. The gale hail roninucd
now >o 1. ig, and with such unremitted severity,
[hat great ai nu ty was expressed for and aft, for the
safety of the v rssel.
On the morning of the 25th, while still lying to, about
r o'clock. A. M., she capsized?r.ltiiengh the sea was
;ven then tremendous, such as only seen in the Gu I
Stream, such an event w as wholly unlookcd for, and
consequently,all were unprepared. By this uucxpect
?d event, the chief mate, Mr. Poole, one seaman, the
Four steerage passengers, and two hoys, were hurried
unwarned, and unpre|tared into lite presence of llitn who
*uvc them being. The four steerage passengers were
brothers, natives of Lancaster, and by this dispensation,
lone was left to mourn the* loss of a brother. While o*
bcr beam ends, the head of the fore-mast was carried
lway. the stern was stove in, and the rudder and wheel
carried away. The boats, and entire deck load were
ost?and now the rudder was gone, hope seemed to
lave nen who h. coon alter ims, me mmn top gallant
nasi and yard, main top mast and yard, and the main
rard went, and ai about noon, the doomed vessel righted
?but what a spectacle was presented to the wretched
survivors?both inasts gone, the rudder carried away,
iind the main deck burst a midships. Out of 13 souls,
right were missing, and as each looked upon the other,
despair was written on their faces. The captain and
six men, among whom were the survivors, went forward
ind lashed themselves to the windlass, as the sea was
now making a clear breach over the wreck. The venlel
was water logged. No jirovisions and water were
lo be had, and that most dreadful of all deaths, thirst
stared them in the face.
As the storm continued with unabated fury, these survivors,
deeming their present situation too unsafe, proposed
to the captain to remove to the main top. This
he and two of the men declined, and these survivors
went aloft and lashed themselves in the top. Ia this
situation they remained all night, exposed to the pelttag
of the pitiless storm On the morning of (be 2tkh, the
captain and men, who were still iashed to the windlass,
desired to ascend to the top, but from exiiuu&iion, were
too weak to do so unassisted. They were, however,
hauled up by a rope, and lashed I here likewise.
About 11 o'clock A. M., one of the men, Janes
Wright, became delirious from thirst, and descended,
in hopes of getting some water, but being too weak ie
support himself, was washed overboard, and thus another
of the hapless crew was sw allowed by the ruthless
waves. On the 27th it became calm, hut the suf?r

conceive*!, when it is known, that their horrible thirat
compelled them to drink their oicn urine. Without
food they might subsist for some time, but without
water, Oh! it was too horrible, and as the dreadful
certainty of a lingering death, grew stronger, the stoutest
heart grew fuint, and as they looked upon each
other, they wept fatuitously. About 2 o'clock iu the
afternoon, as near as they could reckon, it commenced
raining, and with grateful hearts, they descended to
slake the parching thirst which was even then too
dreadful to have endured much longer. The < Captain
was too excited to dream of the consequences of over
indulgence after such a long abstinence, and he drank no
freely that he died that night in a delirium, still crying
for more water. Every sound of his voice pierced the
hearts of the wretched men, who saw, but could not
relieve his dreadful situation.
On the 23th it again came on to blow, accompanied
with rain and sleet which froze upon them as fast aa
it fell. About noon a vessel hove in sight standing to
the Eastward, which from her particular shape and cut
of the sails, was believed to be English. Although she
came so near to the wreck that the wretched tenants
could distinguish the man at the helm and the men
about the deck, no effort was made to rescue them from
the terrible fate which it now seemed impossible W
avert. We hope and trust that the inhuman monster
who commanded her, mnv he known, and be publicly
branded with tlie odium of every member of the human
race. Although hope wn? now nearly dend in thei#
breasts, they did not at once give tip to deapair, aud
surely if curses were vented upon the passing reeeei
that might have saved them?may they be forgiven.
About 4 P. M., another vessel waa seen with hut
