The London papers contain a sickening narrative of the enf- ferinua and death by starvation of a missionary party, on the Island of Pictou. ofl'C:ipe Ilorii. The mission was under the direction of Captain Gardiner, a gentleman of some fortune. and Mr. Maiement. a cstechiet. and probably some account of the circumstance may have appeared in American papers. The British ship-of war Dido having been sent to look for the survi- vors of the mission, fottnd the whole party dead. On one part ofthe beach were the bodies of Captain Gordon and two of his companions. and further on. the corpses of three more.
