FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE wREcE
OF II sLoop or WAR CoNcoRD.-We
clip the following important paragraph
from the Boston Times of Friday, the
18th instant: The sloop of war Concord
was wrecked in August last at Cape
Delgado, near the river Indy, on the
east coast of Africa. The John Adams
was hourly expected at St. Helena, when
the ship BARCLAY left, at which place ii
was currently reported that the crew Of
the John Adams were in a state eff mutt
ny.-These are all the details relative TO
the loss of the sloop Concord which we
could gather.
It's rumored that Captain Boeru.n, Of
the Concord, Purser Hart and one sea-
man were drowned in attempting to land
after the vessel struck the reef. This in
formation is furnished by E. T. Lake
man, late of the barque Malay, lost in
last in the Mozambique channel,
who came passenger in the ship Barclay.

Revival OF THE AFRICAN SLAVE

been seized by the notrious pirate and
slave dealer Pedro BIanco, and, with
4 cargo of $40 slaves, transported to

which he spoke English, attracted the

back to Africa. 1t will now be seen,

they will also play many new tunes
which they have been learning and

has not been in existence year yet,
and we are always astonshcd at the cx-
ceIlent music they make, whenever we
listen to them it is composed Of young
gentlemen who are engaged in various
other pursuits in life, and consequently
they have but little time to devote t.
music. They have united themselves
together, more for the public accommoda-
ton than anything else, as they desire
no profit from their eXertions and labors
as musicians and certainly, on this
account, if no other, they ought to be
literally patronized by the community
