West, of the " Issac i lowland,'' informs us that on the loth of April, in N. lat. 31° and E. long. 150°, about 300 miles N. N. E. of Guam, he fell in with a Japanese Junk. It was .small and desitute of cargo. Only four persons Acre found on board. It did not appear that any had died. Tbey had evidently been a long time without much food, being very much emaciated. Their only remaining food was a little oil. As near as could be ascertained the vessel had been out of her reckoning forty-nine days.—At the time of the discovery, the tiih-r was lashed, and the ship's company seemed to have given themselves up to die. Capt. West took tbern on board his vessel, judiciously administered nourishing food and they soon recovered their strength and spirits.—Having taken from the vessel, a few spars, Capt. YV. set her on Ere. It is not yet determined what will be done with them. Two of them Capt. W. would be glad to take to America, and if some vessel about to cruiso in the vicinity of the Japan Islands, will take the other two, it will be a good and satisfactory arrangement. Is not the time approaching when the inhabitants of the Japan islands will be brought within the sphere of civilized nations. Where is the famous U. S. Japan Expedition 1 We hope the new administration will prosecute the enterprise. Tt is important.—Our whale ships desire much to visit the ports of Japan for supplies.— Honolulu Friend.

Narrative or the Loss of the Ship Huntress, ast> Suffering of the Ckew.—The following account of the b>ss of the ship Huntress, Capt. Gibbs, from New Bedford, was brought to Honololu by the bark Russel, Which arrived from Bering's Straits, in October last.— "On the 24th of April, the Huntress was off the island - f Karaghinsko, on the coast of Kamschatka, when • trong galea commenced to blow from the eastward. At 8 p. m. took in sail and hove to under close reefed main topsail and staysail, headed N. N. E. At 7 a.m. of the 25th wore round to the S. S. E.—in wearing slit fore topsail—at 3, while trying to take in main topsail, the foot rope parted and went as far as tho clone rPe f.—The gale continued to blow heavily—lay under main spencer—commenced snowing and the ice was making .fast. At 6 $ p. m of the 25th made the one mile off. The wind continuing to blow hard with a tremendous sea on, we set close reefed fore and mizzen topsails —foresail and main-topsail, but they could not stand the gale. Wo then undertook to bend another foremil, but the sea making a clear breach over us, prevented us. By this time the boats were all gone from the chains—the bulwarks and main hatches were in. Every man then began to look out for himself, seeing no chance to save the ship. At 8 i>. M. she struck on the rocks of Karaghinsko and filled—we cut away the mists, and she beat up as far as she could. Being the lop of the tide when sho struck, the ebb left us all wet and cold with no dry clothes to shift—soon after beelcd on the starboard side, in which position we remained untill 8 o'clock on the morning ofthe'JGth when we succeeded in landing all bands with the only remaining boat, which she badly stove. Wo had great trouble in saving the boat, as she capsized and tilled twice. Our next thought was to look for a place of shelter. We made our fire under a ledge of rock as the snow was eight feet Here we remained for twenty-eight days, suffering much from the inclemency of the weather. Ten or twelve of the men were more or leas frozen. After beinj? on shore nineteen days, and seeing no clir ncu of n-lief, we commenced building a schooner one ;;nd a half miles from the wreck on the -side of a hill. Between this spot and the shore the snow was from fifteen to twenty feet deep. On the 21st of May we had the satisfaction of seeing four ships landing in. The mate and four men put off and boarded the ship Monongahela, Seabtuy, of New Bedford, who immediately sent two boats to our relief. Next day we repaired on board, where we were kindly treateJ by the Capt. and officers—for which I am under many obligations to them, as wellas to Capt. Newry, of the ship Brooklyn of New Bedford, for his exertions in beating up his ship to our relief and taking ofr" part of {he crew. The crew, as is usual, has been distributed a jnonjj several ships. The island were the Huntress
