But, in the midst of this rejoicing, a
great calamity has come upon the city.
Tun QUARANTINE BUILDINGS at Staple
ton, on Staten Island, were fired by incen

has been used as a place of Quarantine, for
fifty years; but for the last twenty years
many threats have been made against the
buildings!, by the people in the vicinity.
Many persons from the city have erected
elegant mansions near the premises, and as
a matter of course they do not approve of
the nearness of diseases of all kinds, which
must s nenessarily be the ease in such inati
' Wiens. - And since the alarm on account
of yellow fever, the indignation has been
very great. Many of the patients suffered
severely on account of the cold, after the
buildings were fired, and some have died in
consequence. While the whole city is en
dangered, by so many affected with disease,

Concert of Prayer—Synod of lowa
It has been proposed that the Synod of
lowa, as several other Synods propose doing,
meet one day sooner than the time to which
they stand adjaurned r and spend one whole
day in prayer and conference respecting. the
reviving of . God's work in our chucches.
This is indeed a happy thought, which we
hope to see acted upon'by all, and we hope
there will be a full attendance at the prayer
meeting, both of the ministers and the el
ders.
And there is another very important
thought. It has occurred to me, in connex
ion itllkh this, that it might be well for the
churches themselves to unite with the
Synod in a concert of prayetr for the object,
and I would beg leave, through your paper,
respectfully to suggest this to the churches
of the Synod of lowa. The- Synodical
prayer•meeting commences on Wednesday
evening, at, seven o'clock. At the same
hour, let all our churches meet at their eev-
oral places of worship, with this specific ob.
jsct before them, viz., to unite with the
Synod in specisl prayer that Geed would be
pleased to revive his work graciously in all
our churches. On Wednesday evening most
of our churches meet regularly for prayer;
and on this occasion let us consecrate the
hour to this specific object. Then shall there
be truly a concert of prayer observed by the
Synod, and the people at the same hour,
humbly supplicating the same blessing. It
is not for the ministers and elders.alone to
pray, nor does the responsibility of Zion's
prosperity rest upon them alone. The
prayers of ALL who love the Lord Jesus,
should ascend unitedly for this blessing;
and the prayer of the humblest and ob
sourest of God's people is heard :and an
swered as speedily as the prayer of the most
prominent man in the Church. Let us,
then, observe the hour together.

Mournful Casualty. !.
On Wednesday evening, September Ist,
Miss Matilda A. Caldwell, daughter o lion.
David Caldwell, of Hollidaysburg, Pa., left
her father's residence to attend, as-wis her'
regular custom, the Wednesday lectno and
prayer-meeting, at the Presbyterian church.
Having started early, she called to a
Sabbath scholar of her class, who had been
sick) and also made one or two calls upon
her young lady friends. One of these
walked with her toward the place of wor
ship. As they passed the house of the Rev.
Mr. Knight, of the Lutheran church, sev
eral young friends were at the gate, and
they, with Mrs. K., invited them in, to 'see
a niece of the latter, who was that evening
to be married. She went in to see her
'friend, the bride, not having known of the
marriage until on her way to prayer-meet
ing, and was urged by the latter to remain,
as no company had been formally invited.
After a little hesitancy, she consented, and
passed a cheerful and pleasant evening.
The company separated a little befOre 11
o'clock.
But a shorn time before the separation,
she went into the Library, and was ex
amining the books, and had her attention
directed to Fleetwood's Life of Christ, in
the beautifully ornamented edition, quarto,
of the London press. She was seen to gaze,
with solemn countenance, upon the fine en
graving of the Thorny Coronation, and then
to ha her attention upon the engraving
of the Agony in the Garden. After thus
gazing intently, she read, with soft impres-
sive tones, the words printed beneath this
picture—Matthew's version of the agodiz
ing prayer: 0, nay Father, if it be possible,
let this cup pass from me : 'nevertheless, not
as I will, but as thou wilt!" These words,
as thus read, seem now to have been almost
prophetic. They were the last words she
ever read on earth; and the incident seems
most singular, that she should thus with
draw fro/h the cheerful bridal company, to
the quiet of the Library, and there read this
touching and impressive prayer, just a few
minutes before her intercourse with this life
should cease forever !
She•and the friend with whom she came,
were about to go home, and just as they
reached the door, two carriages, from the
country, belonging to the family of the
bridegroom,
drove up to receive the delll•
bers of the family that were returning home,
when it was suggested by some of the com•
pany that, before doing so, they might con
vey the two young ladies to their residences.
This was acceded to, and in a few minutes
the carriage that bore Miss Caldwell was
approaching near to her father's dwelling,
when a sudden streani of light from some
window in the street, affrighted the horse,
and in the efforts of the young man to man
age him, the line, (a very stronzone,) broke ;
the driver sprang out to seize the horse by
the head, but be broke away, and dashed
down the street. Miss C. was either thrown
out, or sprang out herself, and received, in
the fail, a blow upon the head, which pro
duced hemorhage upon the brain, termi
nating in death in three hours.
Kind physicians were promptly in attend
anoe—her pastor was soon by her side—her
family all (except' her attached father, who
was absent in attendance upon offiCial duties,
at the Agricultural College,) were soon
around her. But neither medical skill, nor
prayers, nor tears, could stay the hand of
death; and at Si o'clock, on the morning
of the 2d inst., without a word to those
whom she had.so recently left, she died.
But she slept in Jesus. She left no dying
voids, but her life of lovely and consistent
piety left a clear testimony behind her, that
though summoned suddenly, she was ready
for that summons. For several years she
bad been a consistent. and exemplary mem
ber of the Presbyterian Churah. During
the revival of last Winter, and still more re
cently, she manifested much interest for
Christ's cause; and though gentle and re
tiring, she was steadfast and sincere in her
loyalty to her Saviour. No more will her
sweet voice be heard in our choir on earth—
no more will her musical talent and skill aid
in our devotions here, as in times'past; but
although her fingers no more may touch a
musical instrument of earthly make, in
praise of lied, we do not doubt that her
hand will sweep a golden harp above, and
her voice join in the harmoniee,of heaven,
as they swell the Emig of Moses and the
Lamb.
A vast concourse followed the remains of
this lovely young Christian (for she was
only just out of her twenty-first year,) to
the grave; and her sudden, departure has

The Slave Trade and the Captured Slaver..
A few Southerners have advocateda revival of
the Slave Trade, but the body of the intelligent
community there, and especially Presbyterians,
resist the effort. The arrival of a captnted-slaver
at Charleston, which we noted last week, has
caused great excitement on -the slave question,
and
. is likely to strengthen the hands cog those
who resist the movement attempted a .toward a re
vival of this horrible traffic. , •
There was a slight effort made toward testing
the applicability of the laws of South Carolina,
respecting negro sailors who come into the her
but the State's Attorney decided that those
laws did not apply; and the Attorney General of
the 'United States decides in favor of the-power•
of the general government over the captives.
What shall be done with them, is a question?
If released at the South, they would soon, under;
State laws, be sold into slavery., If brought to
Vie North and released, they would suffer ex—
ceedingly from the climate, and would be a oltagis
upon the community. But the ExeCative has ho
right to release them, in this country. His esti
power is "to make such arrangements as he any
deem expedient for their safe keeping, support,
and removal beyond the limits of the United States?!
These negroes, four hundred and fifty-five 'in
number, were shipped at Kabenda,, July sth, in
Lower Guinea, on the brig Echo, late. the General
Putnam, built in Baltimore, and formerly employed
in the coffee trade between that port and
She sailed from New Orleans on the bth pf Maroh
last, with a captain, two mates, eight 3139,131ei:1, a
cook, steward, and one passenger. The slaves were
obtained within a circuit of five hundred mules
of Kabonda. To restore them to their nai;;lve
homes would be impossible. They may pos
sibly be sent to Liberia ; but, wherever sent, tlitey
must be humanely cared for. There died on . the
passage, one hundred and forty of them, show!ing
the severity of their lot and the cruelty of the
slavers.
The editor of the Charleston Nereury visited
the brig, on her arrival there, and gives the *f
lowing description of what he saw :
"Upon clambering up the side of the 'brig, a
strange and stprtling sight presented ittielf—a
deck covered with native Africans in a state of
complete nudity, with rare instances of a n arrow
strip of rag, an inch wide, round the waist.
These people were seated for the most part. with
their legs stretched out flat or drawn up in. front
or doubled up, 801110 squatted on their feet and
hands. A few were staudingabont, arid a few ly
ing down. None were tied or fastened in any
way. The majority were very young, apparently
from eight to sixteen years of age, some younger
and some older; scarcely one,-ho iverer, °ger iwen
ty five. Some of them were able-bodied., good
sized, and in good ease ; but the greater part, half
grown children only, weak and worn,. Many were
f
l
much emaciated, and showed plainly the e y eas
of their long and crowded passage in a con 'ned
ship A few were evidently ill, and soon to die.
All were pure black in color except the , dropsi cal,
whose skins were tawny from disease. Their ; lair
i
is very short and crisp. Those who were well, ap
peared curious and pleased, some of them ogling,
and giggling, and chartering, and others smolting
tobacco out of short clay pipes with cane ste 8,
just as our, own negroes do- Those that were'
thin and sick, locked dull and brutish, but there
was nothing wild or ferocious in their aspect_
They looked amiable and docile, and readily
obeyed the commands of the person vrhe had
charge of them. They are great thieves, how
ever, and appropriate whatever they caritin every
occasion.
MI
"There were two hundred and forty-six males
and-sixty females, who were kept separate on deck
and in the holds. The men and boys were kept
on the forward deck and in the forward hold,
which latter is fifty-five feet long, nineteen feet
wide in the broadest part, and narrow at the head,
and forty.four inches high, the floor being formed
of loose, boards, movable at pleasure. The hold
for the women and girls is behind this. It is of
the same height, twelve feet long and nineteen
wide. Under this temporary flooring is stored
the provisions, consisting of rice, peso, and the
Water to drink. Their food is boiled like " hop
pinjohu," put in buckets twice a day, at ten and
four o'clock, and placed in the midst of circles
of eight or tea each, and well guarded, to prevent
the strong negtoes from taking more than their
share, although all are liberally allowed. A pint
of water is given to each, morning and eeeni)g.
Most of them sleep on deck, being placed In close
order, spoon fashion, on their sides, rind not per
mitted to turn or move during the night. At day
light they are dashed. with buckets of water, to
wash them 2ff. They sing songs, clapping their
hands and rocking their bodies in time, and these
songs have a great. resemblance to some or our
negro spirituals. Several of the negro fellows
exercise authority very much aftei the manner of
our drivers, with airs of authinity and ridiculous
gesticulation and grimaces. Others were cooking
the big pot' like good. fellowe, and with old
breeches on, too, obtained from the sailors. The
captain of the hold understands their lingo, and
says they are very averse to going hack to Africa,
as the United States law requires. Our coast re
sembles that they come from, and the group of
pines opposite the city on the South looks to them
like 0000 aunt trees of their native Afriqa.:
eThe slaver was captured hy, th 'United States
ship Dolphin. The vessel is a prize, .half to the
officers and crew. Twenty.flve diallers a'head for
the captives is also to be paid to the captors. We
trust that this is the beginning of strenuous efforts,
on the part of our country, toward restoring
every thing that claims Lobe American from hav
ing any thing to do with the enormity. The
slave trade being piracy, the penalty to the Echo':
officers and crew, is death. The captain was sent
to Boston, and the crew, WWI the brig, to Charles
ton. (Since the above was in type, we see it
stated that the.captain was sent back to Chaves
ton.)
