THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA.
The following letter from President Roberts con
tains particulars of the progress of the Republic of
Liberia. The first paragraph relates to the projected
experiments for the growth c.f. cotton :
" Government-house, Monrovia, July 16.
"Mr. Strand is still here, and I believe, from what
observations he has been able to make, he is quite
sanguine as to the success of his enterprise. lie is
about commencing experimental operations on a tract
of land which I have granted him for the purpose.
Should he succeed to his wishes, then permanent ar-
rangements for as much lan,d as he may require will
be entered into.
"As yet, we have no fun information with respect
to the success of the commissioners sent by this Go-
vernment six or eight we eks ago, to Gallinas, Cape
Mount, and the Vey Coun try, to settle, if possible,
the disputes and wars which for many years have ex-
isted among the tribes occupying those territories. I
have noticed that several threatening disputes have
been arranged, and in one instance, certainly, an ap-
peal to arms prevented.
" The principal difficulty,it appears, now exists with
the inhabitants of a large barricaded town in the rear
of the Gallinas—many of whom were originally slaves
to the Gallinas and other surrounding chiefs—who
from time to time have es c aped and taken refuge
there, and have hitherto foili!el every attempt which
has been made to recover th em. And now by conti-
nual accession of such pers.)ns they have become so
formidable as to defy the conibired forces of the chiefs,
and have declared a war of e. r termination against their
former masters. And so enraged are they against
them, in consequence of former ill treatment, that
they have not yet consented to accept the mediation
of our commissioners. We hope, however, to be able
soon to reconcile them—sw :h is the impression of the
commissioners. Such as tle?oe and other difficulties
are constantly arising among; the tribes around us, and
to settle them gives us much trouble, as well as being
exceedingly expensive to cur infant government—
decidedly more so than our present resources really
warrant, to keep commission .E rs continually travelling
from place to place for that purpose. Still we cannot
remain idle spectators and vt,f.thhold an effort to pre-
vent the shedding of blood r uld to avert incalculable
sufferings, always the result cf African wars.
" The slave trade is now el ffectually abolished from
the additional territory latofy purchased by us with
aid from London. We are doing all in our power to
encourage and establish legi Cmate commerce, and, I
am happy to be able to inform you, with considerable
success.

In the advertisement of Mr. Banks's new book,
which appeared in The Sun of ' ruesday, it should have been
" Staves for the Human Ladd.sr," by G. Linnceus Banks,
and not " Staves of the Human Ladder," by G. Linnoceus
Banks, as erroneously printed.
We are happy to announce that the Rev. Henry
Neville, of this city, has just bee n appointed to the chair of
Logic and Metaphysics in Mayn c•oth College, vacant by the
recent decease of the Professor B ehan. The various candi-
dates for this appointment had t.o undergo a " Concursus,"
or public examination, upon all -the most abstruse questions
of theology and philosophy, whi.z,h continued throughout four
days, and in which Mr. Neville .?..ninently distinguished him-
self. The result has been his e levation to the vacant chair,
an academic distinction upon which, in common with his
numerous friends in the south, we heartily congratulate the
Rev. Gentleman.— Cork Exami,2er.
Our hotels have had a capital run of business.
Most of them are literally ova ,flowing; and our principal
drives and walks daily prove the vast influx of visitors we
have lately received. The bald of the Bth Royal Irish
Hussars performed ou the pier la st Friday, and in Regency-
square on Tuesday, to large and. fashionable assemblages. A
report prevails that the out-doo r performances are to be dis-
continued ; but whilst the preserL t fine weather lasts, we trust
that the Colonel of the regiment will permit the band to play
as usual. Such a regimental band is exceedingly attractive.

LANCASHIRE AND YOWLS HIRE RAILWAY. - The
committee of associated share; toiders have issued a long ad-
dress to the proprietors in this, company, calling upon them
to take steps for superseding the newly-appointed board of
directors, and for a general reform in the management of
affairs, upon the ground that the dividends have declined
from eight to two per cent., and the value of the shares
from 2001. to 40/. They state that the vote at the late gene-
ral meeting did not fairly represent the views of the proprie-
tors, as only one thousand of them voted out of a total of
about five thousand.

THE CAII,II3ILIDGE MOINHMENT.—The officers of the

21st Royal North British Fusiliers have each subscribed a
day's pay to the Cambridge Monument Fund, which monu-
ment, it is proposed, will be a charitable institution of a most
comprehensive kind.

SALE OF Honses.—The exportation of horses tbis
year from Ireland to England has been unparalleled for a
number of years. Mr. Dawson sold a lot of i 7 first-class
hunters to Mr. ?durray, of Manchester, for the enormous sum
of 2,3001., a price for a " lot" from one dealer to another
without precedent in this country.
A lit.pry BOROUGH.—At Sunderland, Mr. Mat-
thews, the revising barrister, found neither objections nor
claims made by either of the political parties.
A. NEW SHELL.—A French chemist has invented a
shell that, it is said, "in a few minutes will send to the bottom
a ship of 120 gunlt s." Will the shell be exhibited in 1851 ?
We hope so. is from such a shell that tirao may hope tO
