Appeal ON behalf OF the Amistad Captves.
The appeals heretofore made for funds of
the defence, support and education of these
Mendi Africans, have been successful, and
the money, so generously contributed, has
been economically expended, and with the
happiest results. The sums contributed and
the expenditures made have been published
in the American and Foreign Ant-SIaEery
Reporter and tue N. York Journal of Com
merce, for the information Of the donors and
all persons interested The time has now
arrived when another appeal has become
necessary. Such facts have recently come
TO the knowledge of the Committee, respect
ing the native country of these Mendians,
and the feasibility of their reaching their
hones, if they can lie sent to Sierra Leone,
that it had been determined to send the
whole body OF them (now reduced 10, IS in
numberr back to Africa the present autumn.
They will leave in vessel for Sierra Leone
as soon as the necessary funds shall be con-
tributed. The Committee have in view two
| ministers of the gospel, one white aud one
! colored, to accompany them to Mendi, aud
! take up their abode with them as religious
teachers, so long as the providence of God
| shall direct; and they are DESTROYS of ELL
gaging one or two more, to be associated
with these brethren as missionaries: 10 Mem
ldf
Contributions are earnestly requested
Remittances may be made by mail, or 9TH
erwise, directed TO Lewis Tappan, No. 7,
DORIS Building, corner of Hanover and Ex-
change streets, rear of Merchants Exchange.
Donors. if they choose, can specify whether
their donations shall go towards defraying
! the expenses of the passage TO Sierra Leone,
&C., or for the support of the religious teach
ers. IF not otherwise directed, the Com
| mittee will appropriate the money according
10 their direction. All donations will be
acknowledged, and paper, containing the
acknowledgment, sent to each donor. The
expenditures will also be published, as here
tofore.
Ministers of the gospel are requested to
take up contributions in their congregations,
and the friends Of these Mendians, and Of
the evangelization of Africa, are invited to
form committees for the purpose Of raising
funds for the objects named. 1t is scarcely
necessary 10 add, that the committee fully
agree with the Rev. DR.. Halves, that "the
wages OF unrighteousness Dug bit not TO be
used to propagate the gospel among the
heathen," and they can not be received foe
this object. The prayers Of Gods people
are solicited on behalf of the liberated AT
ricans, and the contemplated mission.
l The season Is so far advanced, that the
immediate action of the friends of these
Mendians is necessary, to insure the accom-
plishment Of the object in view.

Something Er'rdordindrg.--Yeste
morning, as We were returning homo from
our Office, about two o'clock, we were sud.
denly startled by au explosion Immediately
over our head. On looking up, we discov.
cred IN the air, large fragments of fire, fly.
ing in different directious-each Of which
looking 10 Us as if they we're particles Of u
star tina, had bursted asnnder. Tho moon
became back as ink, and the stars all seem.
ed as If they had ,wndled away, and naught
could be seen bu, the fiery fragments flying
abou, the sky. These burnt for few mo.
men.s, and then gradually died away, until
they could be seen no more. few mo.
ments ailcr the explosion took place, the
earth shook like an aspen, and the moon
when she again shone forth, seemed tremb-
ling from tho effects of the shock. What
could have been the cause of this wonder
ful occurrence Can any OF our great as
trologers throw any light upon tue aita,r'
