AFRICA V / STITUTION.

On Thursday, a Moctiug ci the tueeocrs of thig In-
stitutian was held at Freetnasoni Itall,thr the purpose
of receiving the annual report.
Mr. Avi:hcifirr-e proposed that the Earl of Caisdon
be revested to take the Chair.
The report of the Directors of the Institution was
read. The report gave a detailed history of all the ef-
tiirts that had been made by Great Britain within the
last three years for the general abolition of the Slave
Trade. The rerrt itrxt alluded to the narrative of
Capntin fr..):x whiell it appeared, that the Niger
and the Congo were one and the same river. The Di-
rectors would never despair of the great cause in which
they had engaged ; and they viewed with satisfaction
the great progress that had been made towards the
total abolition of a trade, the iniquity of which had not
even been aciat iwkdgcd in this country, until within
the last twelve years ; and in which aLknowledr„einent
other countries were now about to follow our example
:Although they entertained coat:lilt Lopes on this sub-
ject, the Directors fee the necessity of using continued
vigilance, and of uphohlin;; the funds of this Institution,
which, without the most active support, wculd be
wholly inadequate to the ohjects that Were to be pro-
moted.•
Lord Gambier reo•red the thanks of the Meeting to
the Directors, which was put from the Chair, and una-
nimously anteed

On the motion of Mr. C. Darelny, the Directors
were re-appointed. The a-aditurs were also re-elected.
IVilberforce said, he rose to move the thanks of
the NI ecing to Colonel M'Cartiiy the present Governor
of Sierra Leone, tOr his great iai merite6ms efforts
in stopping the si,tre Trade in that colony. This was
a motion which tla who were informed of the eminent
services of that' officer, would heartily concur in. It
was impossible for any governor to be more assiduous
in the performance of his duties than Colonel M'Carthv.
lie concluded by mvir:g—" That the thanks of the
meeting be given to Colonel NE.Carthy, the Governor
of Sierra Leone, for his intictitigable exertions in sup-
pressing the Slave Trade in that eJlony, and that kw
be requested to accept the situation of an honorary
member of the African Institution."

The motion was agreed to unanimously.
Mr. Babington (NI. P. for Leicester) moved the
thanks of the meeting to Sr Alexander Johnston, Su-
preme Judge in the of Ceylon; who Lad cmi-
nently.excrted himself in putting a stop to the Slave
Trade in that island ; which was unanimously agreed to
Mr. Wilhert;mce moved, " 'fhat his Royal High-
ness the l)ukc of Gloucester be requested to accept the
renewed acknowledgements cf that Meeting,. for the
large debt of gratituSe LHc to him from all persons
who were interested is the improvement stud civiliza-
tion of Africa.''

The motion was cariied unmiwously.
Affix the usual rotes of thaulo to the Chairman and
Secretary, tic compauy rctired.

Sercinr.—About two o'clock on Friday morning a
young woman passed hastily down Surrey-street, Strand;.
ti the river side. She was seen by the watchman, who

standing together.. The unfortunate woman having
reached the river, precipitated herself into the water.
The watchmen raw to her :mita:nice, and a Waterman,
who wns posmitg at the. time in his boat rowed to the
spot, being attracted at first, by her screams, and seeing
berstruggling in the water. They, ho wever, arrived
too late—slur sunk, and the Ludy has not since been
liw ad.
