It is now certain that a Commission of Inquiry into the state of
0%111 colony has been determined upon by :he British Oovernment,
and that the Commissioners may shortly be expected here. We
have heard the name of one among those appointed, and that la
Colonel Young, who administered the Government of Tnnidad
daring Sir R. Woodfortra absence. Although we cannot see the
necessity of sending Commissioners here, under existing circum-
stat.ces, we shall still be most happy to sea them, as we feel assured
that their report must eventually benefit this colony in an eminent
degree. We do not look back to the past, nor will we attempt to
Oncost the propriety of those toessures which have been formerly
adopted on behalf of this colony. Of this, at least, we feel assured,
that the capabilities and natural advantages of Sierra Leone art
equal to all, and superier to many of his Majesty's tropical posses-
sions. It requirrs only a skilful guide, with aufhnent support from
blase fur a few years, to reader it one of the most valuable jewels
of the BritishCrerto ; arid calmly and conscientiously we declare
our firm belief, that, if left to the operation of those plans, which
are now formed for its welfare, It will yet realise the best within of
its wannest friends. It is with this conviction, therefore, we hail
the snivel of well infutmel, unprejudiced oleo, as a happy omen
of the future prosperity of this hitherto tintiouinate colony.; feel.
. tog well assured that it requires only to be better knos n be July

On Thursday nuns into this harbour the schooner Belvidere,
Newby, master, from Liverpool, having called in the °ambit' ;
whither she returns immediately, for the purpose of loading a
cargo of the valuable timber of that river. She has brought letters
11 from St. Mary's, which describe the settlement as generally healthy,
but that the rains were about setting in regularly. We regret to
learn that the gum trade has completely failed this season; the brig
Hambletonian having only obtained 36 tons of gum, while the
Sarah has not been able to trade for any. and has, therefore, re-
turned to St. Mary's. where she will lake in a cargo of wax and
hides ; it is said she will sail for England about the middle of this
month.
Aix Majesty the King of Baru seems to base pmdtted by the
useful lesson he received from his Excellency the Governor-
-11 Omega!, and remains perfectly tranquil under his losses. The
general trade of the river was going on in the usual course.
