Then came a letter from Mr. Pond, at Kinsale, Ireland, dated May 2, 1822: You have doubtless heard of the shipwreck of the Albion packet of New York, bound to Liverpool.

As we are sailing up in the tender towards Liverpool, I deplore the circumstance feelingly. What does make this rior some time. Our carriage at last drove on, taking us through Liverpool and a mile or two out, and at length wound its way along the grav circle by whom we were surrounded. In the evening I went into Liverpool to attend a party of friends of the anti-slavery cause. When I w give them an opportunity. The next day was appointed to leave Liverpool. A great number of friends accompanied us to the cars, and a beat of his chamber, felt a desire to testify his sympathy. We left Liverpool with hearts a little tremulous and excited by the vibration of an

I felt at the moment that we never value our own literary men so much as when we are placed in a circle of intelligent foreigners. The following evening we went to dine with our old friends of the Dingle, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cropper, who are now spending a little time in London. We were delighted to meet them once more and to hear from our Liverpool friends. Mrs. Cropper's father, Lord Denman, has returned to England, though with no sensible improvement in his health. At dinner we were introduced to Lord and Lady Hatherton. Lady Hatherton is a person of great cultivation and intelligence, warmly interested in all the progressive movements of the day; and I gained much information in her society.

I have some business affairs to settle in England, and shall sail from Liverpool in the Europa on the sixth of June. I am so homesick to-day, and long with a great longing to be with you once more. I am impatient to go, and yet dread the voyage. Still, to reach you I must commit myself once more to the ocean, of which atshow that a Yankee writer can get a copyright in England-little thanks to our own government, which compels him to go there in order to get it.
