WEST COAST OF iII.RICA.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 9.
The steamer Armenian, with the West Coast of
Africa mail, has arrived here. She brings 34 pas-
sengers, and 3,400 ounces of gold dust.
Her dates are—Benin, August 7; Fernando Po
and Cameroons, August 1 ; Old Calabar, July 30 ;
Brass River, Aug. 6 ; Nun, July 24 ; Bonny, 6 ;
Lagos, Aug. 10; Acra, 12 ; Cape Coast Castle, 14;
Cape Palmas, 16 ; Sierra Leone, 21; Bathurst, 25 ;
Teneriffe, 31 ; and Madeira, September 2.
The territory of Lagos was ceded to the British
Crown on the sth of August, the King signing a
treaty to that effect.

A commercial treaty, favourable to British and
French interests, had been negotiated with the
Xing of Bodaboo.
Fever was prevalenteat Bathurst.
Trade on the Gold Coast was rather dull.
The Armenian took the Lagos bar, and the
greater part of the cargo had to be throwil over-
board to get her off. Her Majesty's ship Prome-
theus also took the bar, but got off much strained.

The Agricultural Society of Prance for the En-
couragement of the Breeding of Bees, held a a meeting last
Week at the Model Beehive at the Luxembourg. About
100 agriculturists attended from various parts of France.
The exhibition of bees, which was held in the Orangery,
Was very interesting. The prcduce exhibited called forth
expressions of admiration from the spectators. It showed
how much progress has been made withinyears in
one of the most lucrative industries of rural few
life.
Several
very important practical questions were discussed at the
lueeting. The country clergy ware represented at the con-
gress by five parish priests. One farmer in Champagne,
instructed in this art by his parish priest, possesses a pre-
sent 1,000 beehives, The efforts of the society have been
attended with the best results. A superior degree of com-
fort has by its means been introduced into districts where
it Was hitherto unknown, The rearing of b3es entails no
lidditional house rent. It re a sml capital and
but little labour. It is evidqentuires thab utt
much r alemains to be
,I,°no when we consider that, while France produces
V,000,000f, worth of honey and wax, she expends
60,000 000 f. in additional purchases. The Agricultural
,-;;,TlSty are of opinioa that Franco mieht produce
"',000,000f. worth of honey and wax, and- then export
0,000,000 f. worth.
