Death of TheO. Parker.

The steamer of the 10th ult brought
the sad intelligence of the death of Theo-
dore Parker, the talented, soutspoken, and
uncompromising friend of the oppressed.
He died at Florence, Italy, on the 10th of
May. Prof Newman, in letter to the
London News" says: II saw him about
three hours before he died, lying calmly,
while !. e was ebbing away unconsciously
to himself. He left written directions for
his funeral, limiting to FIVE persons the at
tending him to the grave, of whom | am
one. Many Americans here are express
ing their wish to appear as mourners, but
it is thought right to abide by his instruc-
tons. He desired the eleven first verses
of the Sermon on the Mount (the blessing
of jesus to be read over bis grave, and
then plain gray stone, with his name and
age, and nothing further of inscription.
We hope to get a cast taken of Mr. Par
ker today. Mrs. Parker, his poor, gentle
wife, has hitherto borne up we'll Miss
Stevenson, who has resided with them SO
long, was also with him to the last. She
thinks from the peculiar tenderness of his
manner yesterday that he knew he was
dying He had been dreamy for some
days, and talked ramblingly of two Theo-
dore Parkers, one here, and one planted
in Boston, who would finish his work
perhaps true thought, only mystically
expressed. He ceased to breathe without
the least struggle"

parations were made and much publicity
given to the call. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Judge Trumball, OF ILL.,, Hon.
John Sherman, of Ohio, and other men of
eminence in the party. Lanterns, bearing
all sorts of curious devices. were carried
about, and great deal of enthusiasm was
manifested. A smart shower of rain made
it somewhat uncomfortable for outdoor
gatherings, but all things considered, there
was good order. Ten resolutions were
adopted (the entire series) unanimously.

Board of Health last week was l6O, Z OF

The SLAvE-TRADE BY SrEAM.--On the
evening of the 29th, Deputy Marshal
Thompson proceeded to Pier No. 81 North
River, and, by directions of the Collector
and Surveyor of the Port, took possession
of the steamship "City of Norfolk" II
appeared that this vessel had been for sew
eral days advertised to sail with goods and
passengers for st. Thomas, w l., and that
the suspicious of the Custom House au-
thorities being aroused, the steamer was
searched, when two extra large tanks full
of water, and an unusually large supply
of coal, were found ON board. The steamer
is now in the custody of the United States
Marshal, awaiting further proceedings.

Downing VS.. Garnet.

Mr.. EDITOR Il noticed in your issue
of the 26th inst, long letter from Mr..
Geo. T. Downing, headed, "Rev. j. S.
Martin VS.. Rev. FL. H. Garnet" in which
he makes terrific attack on the latter gen.
tleman, and which confirms my impression
that the whole fuss of opposition to the AT
rican Civilization Society has grown out
of personal feeling. / do not believe
that he fears the Society will injure our
people here at all l speak thus plainly
because | feel that have the same right
to question his veracity as he had to assert
that Mr.. Garnet was what he called him in
a public meeting not long ago. MIR. q.
has said that there was no connection
whatever between the African Civilization
Society and the American Colonization
Society, and Mr.. Downing asserts that
there is. Now, / hope that the young men
of New York will examine the principles
of these two gentlemen, and decide for
themselves which of the two to credit. |
ask even the "brainless women and row.
dies" that Mr.. Downing speaks of. to look
into this matter and tell us which of these
gentlemen can be trusted with the inter.
ests of our people, GEO, h. HUGHES.

Return Of J. J. Myers, of WiscOn-

Return Of J. J. Myers, of WiscOn-
sin.
Mr. j. j Myers, of Madison, Wis, who
left this country about one year ago on an
expedition to Southern Africa, arrived in
this city about three weeks ago in the bark
Sea-nymph, from the Cape of Good Hope
He spent the greater part of the time al
Port Natal, on the eastern shore, and left
his son (who accompanied him out there
employed as clerk in a dry goods store.
He says the climate at this place is pleas.
ant and healthy, the thermometer varying
in the winter from 65 to rs, and in the
summer about IS degrees, Fahrenheit
The Natal Mercury" of Feb 9th, thus
speaks of Mr. Myers visit :
A rather interesting incident connected
with immigration is the arrival, month
ago, of an intelligent colored American,
for the purpose of ascertaining the suit
ableness of this Colony for settlement of
a select body of bis friends of the same
class Mr.. Myers, the gentleman in ques-
ton, is shrewd, practical Yankee /; he
appears to be well satisfied with the Colony
for the purpose contemplated, and bis
views and plans, which he has fully ex-
planned to us, are of thoroughly feasible
and business-like character 1t is probable
his party will proceed hither, on his return,
in vessel of their own and that their
settlement may be the nucleus of more
extensive immigration of the same class.
Mr.. Myers is of opinion that the influence
of the example of such a community would
be most beneficial on the natives of this
Colony, who would thus be shown that
people quite as black as themselves can be
raised by industry and civilization to full
equality with the whites The kafrs with
whom Mr.. Myers has met-especially those
on one of our largest Missionary Stations
expressed the most unbounded surprise
that he could not speak their language
and that in all respects, except color, he
was an aa1alungat-a white man"
Mr. Myers brought with him male and
female Kair sheep, and a Malay sheep.
These animals form the main element of
wealth of the native chiefs, and are re-
markable for their great tails. He also
has several African chickens, which do not
differ from our own except in the fneness
of their feathers. The samples of cotton,
both wild and planted, sugar, of different
qualities, also coffee, tobacco, Indian corn
wheat, oats and barley, were certainly very
fine. Mr.. Myers also brought with him
some native wines, ut these were inter.
cepted.
Mr.. Myers being anxious to leave the
city for Wisconsin, and it not being con.
venient to carry the sheep with him, left
them in charge of Rev. H. II. Garnet
Mr.. G. attended meeting of the Ameri.
can Institute Farmers Club last Monday
and there invited an inspection of these
specimens. They can be seen at his resi-
dence, 80 Laurens-street.
Mr.. Myers returns to this country for
the purpose of disposing of his properly
(of which he has amassed CONSIDERABLE
and taking his family to Africa, to return
no more.

Ordination i'm Sixth Street Church

VIM. III. Moore, VIM. f. Butler, and
Thomas A. Davis were ordained elders in
the Zion A. M. E. Church on Sunday, the
21st ult. The time appointed for the de-
livery of the ordination charges was 3
o'clock, but long before that hour the
church was densely thronged, all eager to
witness the solemn ceremony and hear the
discourse of the Rev. Samson Talbot. Af-
ter the delivery of the charge, MIR. Talbot
did justice to the occasion in discourse
which gave evidence of sound and thor
ough learning in the doctrines which he
processes to teach. The reverend gentle
mans eloquence is we'll known, and it
must be added that he never addressed a
more appreciative audience. The Right
Rev. W. III. Bishop, assisted by several of
the ministers, proceeded with the ceremony
of ordination, and it is needless to add that
it was conducted in very solemn and i'm
posing manner.
The Conference closed its sessions on
Wednesday, the 23d ult. The Right Rev.
j. j. Clinton delivered the closing adj
dress. WEB.

SALEM BAPTIST CHURCH, AT New Bed
FoRD.-The pastor of this church, Rev.
VIM. jackson, was in this city few days
ago, soliciting donations to relieve this So
ciety from debt still remaining on their
neat and beautiful edifce. The import
ance of sustaining this enterprise must be
apparent to all, particularly to those who
are familiar with underground railroad OPP
erations, for in no place in New England
are found as many of our brethren from
under oppression as in New Bedford, and
with no class are religious privileges ap-
preciated more than with these people.
AS Mr.. jackson viii return here in the
course of few weeks, we hope that pre-
parations will be made by liberal Chris
tan public to meet his appeal with gen.
erous response.

ATROCITIES IN MExIco.--A correspon-
dent Of the Bulletin writing from Maxatlan,
Nov, 10th, says;
During the recent campaign Of the cler-
gy forces against this place, under the
Spanish eut-tbroat Csjen and the Indian
cut-tbroat Losada, the latter OF these
wretched men lookup his quarters in the
town Of Santiago, near Topic, where he
gave his Indian followers the largest license
to rob- destroy. rape, aud murder. In their
diabollcal reveling, they attacked and de-
stroyed large cotton factory, lately built
by n company of foreign workmen, princi-
pally Americans. Not satisfied with this,
they seized twelve of the workmen and put
them to q harbarous death. We have not
yet received the particulars of this business,
Mr.. Conner, United States Consul at this
port, has gone to Topic to investigate these
atrocities and report upon them to the Gov
ernment.

follow; but the moonlight helped to show
her course, and he kept along. Finally she

hung at an angle Of forty-flye degrees over

tree swayed beneath her. and STOPPING down
