ABROAD. 



Accounts have recently been received of 

 the loss of the Abeona transport, on herroy- 

 nge from Greenock to the Cape of Good 

 Hope with settlers: one hundred and twelTft 

 persons, including women and children, wero 

 lost. The dreadful accident was occasioned 

 by a spnrk of a candle falling unperceived 

 among some combustible matter. In a few 

 minutes the vessel was in a blaze from hen J 

 to stern : tlie consternation, confusion on 1 

 distress that followed cannot be described, 

 all was horror — but the women magnani- 

 mously shrieked for protection of their chil- 

 dren, the men regardless of self-preservation 

 were intent only on the siifety of their wives 

 andchildren. The scene was most appalling: 

 presence of mind was almost altogether lost ; 

 forty-nine persons only had the good fortune 

 to escape to the boats, and many of these 

 were children. The details of the catas- 

 trophic aft'ord many heroic serious instances of 

 maternal tenderness and of manly paternal 

 feeling. The boats as they pushed off, wit- 

 nessed the most awful conflagration they ever 

 behekl ; the ship descended amidst frightful 

 volumes of flame, and was seen no more ; 

 and the boats were fortunately picked up by 

 the Condessa da Ponii, a Portuguese mer- 

 chantman, bound from Bahia to Lisbon. 



TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



*,• The Supplement to the Fiftieth Volume nppears with the present Number, 

 and ought to be delinered \oith it bij the Booksellers. 



The appeal in our last number against the empirical assumptions of certain 

 piratical and unprincipled imitations of this work., has been ohliiingly responded 

 by our friends, ivho have overwhelmed us with valuable materials., and by the 

 public at large in an increased demand, far exceeding our circulation for some' 

 years past. The di.thonesty practiced towards its has, by singular effrontery, been 

 attempted on tite public, and resented as it deserves. We simply require t fiat our 

 Numbers may be compared with those of any existing magazine, whatever be its, 

 price, and we ask for no preference beyond what may fairly result from mch 

 eomparison.
