Tidings OF tho Azor.

SIERRA LEONE. WEST CoAsT OF AFRICA,
May 10. via Madeira, Saturday, Jane l5.-
The Azor arrived hero to day. For too many
of tho hopeful immigrants who sailed from
Charleston on Easter Sunday, tho voyage has
boon disastrous. Indeed, at ono time thcro
was reason to fear that the Azor would be
nothing less than q floating charnel-boat.
Tho first days Of tho voyage wero wholly
uneventful. Capt Holmes organized polico
force, and required every part Of tho vessel to
ta be kept T' clean. There was no grumblng at
this. The submission aud docilty of tho
emigrants cannot DO too highly praised.
Soon. however, tho need of m experienced
physician began to be felt. Even before tho
Azor sailed measles had made their appear
ancc, and this malady spread rapidly This
was not so bad, however. as the shin fever
caused by tho close confinement betwoon
docks, the scanty accommodation and, above
all, by tho want of water. The suffor.
iings of the immisrants were intense
they had not boon accustomed to prac--
tlco sseitvdenial, and soon exhausted
tho limited daily supply Of water. There was
Tho. fevor spread rapidly, and before we
reached this ppint, which is colonial sottle-
ment on the Wost Coast. belonging to Great
Britain, twonty three of our i'll. fntod emi-
grants had died. I have mover socn q sadder
sight than when their remains were com
mittcd to the deep. The namos Of the dead
will 80 to you by tho first steamer that tou ohes
at this place. This despatch 1 forward by
way Of tho Island of Madeira, from which
pointit will be sent TO you by ocean cable
NY own health is good. Capt Holmes has
immigrants. l cannot praise his vigilance.
thoughtfulness and Judgment too warmly.
Despite tho loss of life tho immigrants aro In
good spirits, and filed with Joy at tho prospect
Of soon reaching thoir destination.
