were 42 peisons on board. One nun died
on the passage to the island of St. Catharines, S. A., and was buried when the vessel arrived in port. During their detention
at that islnnd, a native Sandwich Islander
died, who had been educated in France, and
was returning to his native land. The Jose Maria left St. Catharines on the '23d of
February, and was spoken a k\v days at
sea, hut otherwise she has not since been

probably off Cape Horn The American
brig Delaware, from Huston, touched at St.
Catharines about one month after the Jose
Maria had left. On board (he Delawatc
was Mrs. Sullivan, wife of Capt. Sullivan,
master of the vessel concerning which no

since the above mentioned 23d of Feb. The
Delaware arrived ot this port, via. Tahiti,
on the "23d of July. The hope has been
cherished that the brig must have been compelled to fiut back in distress, or that she had
been detained in visiting intervening ports;

Under da;c of Oct. 20, 184:1. Capt. R.
Richardson, Pus. A S. Friend Society,
writes the editor us follows, respecting
the New Home in New York : " The
Hoard, after a very thorough examination
of the details of its management, condition and results, say it is doing more for
the protection, comfort and moral improvement of seamen than any other
menus directed to this object; which it
would not be righl to say, were if not for
the large number thus brought under a
good influence, and consequently directed to the house of Rod, where the most
effectual means are used."
Thai such institutions are most imperaiivcly needed in other commercial eilies,

on the passage to the island of St. Catharines, S. A., and was buried when the vessel arrived in port. During their detention
at that islnnd, a native Sandwich Islander
died, who had been educated in France, and
was returning to his native land. The Jose Maria left St. Catharines on the '23d of
February, and was spoken a k\v days at

Under da;c of Oct. 20, 184:1. Capt. R.
Richardson, Pus. A S. Friend Society,
writes the editor us follows, respecting
the New Home in New York : " The
Hoard, after a very thorough examination
of the details of its management, condition and results, say it is doing more for
the protection, comfort and moral improvement of seamen than any other
menus directed to this object; which it
would not be righl to say, were if not for
the large number thus brought under a
good influence, and consequently directed to the house of Rod, where the most
effectual means are used."
