SCENE ON THE COAST OF AFRI-
 CA. HORRIBLE HUMAN SACRIFICE AT CALABAR.

HORRIBLE HUMAN SACRIFICE AT CALABAR
 We have been politely favored with th
 following: --.7 s
 'In communication which I received from the Rev. J, Clarke, one of tho Bap list missionaries ut Bombay, Western AT rica, he states the following fact, occa' stoned by most horrid custom, that oi immolation of number of hapless vic> tims, on the death of a royal parsonage, still prevailing in those parts. The letter is dated October 2j;h, lSl5 He writes At Calabar there has been a fearful sacrifice of more than 100 persons for a son of the late king. The poor creature danced egbo all the day, drank mlmby, or palm wine, in large quantities, and died the same night. It is supposed he was poisoned. This may be the cause, or it may no!-we cannot tell. The az cd mother cried out ia African phrenZy that she had lbs, her last child, and now had none to whom to leave her property, and plenty of slaves must therefore be sacrificed Those at market, and all who heard in tm,, ran into the bush - they will remain there until the sacrifice. Cs cease, lha, is, as 10 personal liabilities to their doom. This will be rather more than one year. The sacrifice took place three holes were dug in house. The corpse was pu! into the first, with num- Der of young women. Into the second tho slaves were pu,-and into the third the slaughtered Creoles or town-born peo- pie. The proportion, as stated to us. for ,hcsc holes, was 30 femole slaves, forty males, and 29 Cteoles. Much was done by Mt. WadIell, MT. Edgcrly, and also hy Capt.in M,lburne, of the DOVE, to try 10 persuade King Eyamba to prevent the sacrifice, but it could not be done. MT. Clarke then suggests the following as calculated 10 lead 10 an earl y abolition ufsuch cruel practice. He states, One message seat by the Green of England, and thisurged by all tho merchants who trade from Englani, 10 old C,Ilabnr, res quHst ng the dl>continupnce of such n custom, would be elfectual. The custom mu soon cease, but it might be proven. ,ed the sooner by taking such s:ep.- Let the merchants, then petition the Queen to send her requests 10 the Kiog of Old Calabar, who receive of her bounty for the suppression of the s'ave.trade and desire them 10 offer no more such sacrifi ces on the death of their relatives If this should mee. the eye of some phlan- thropic merchant engaged in the West African trade, anu shonld he interest himself with his brother merchants to cary ou, the sug ses'ions. aud the end be accomplished thereby, he will confer not only vast benefit upon the African race bu, on the friends of humanity through out the world.'
