On Thursday evening, the 18th inst.
the fourth annual meeting of the Ameri-

Walter Jones, Esq. informed the

greet, that severe indisposition prevent
ed his attending the meeting, and his I'M
diminished confidence in the ultimate
success of the Society, and his ardent
wishes for the final accomplishment Of
its great and benevolent objects.
The Hon. HENRY CLAY, one of the
Vice Presidents, was called to the
Chair; on the taking of which he made
handsome and appropriate address,
principally urging perseveripg efforts in
the prosecution Of the original objects Of
the Society, and obvia,ing the objections
which have been made against its sue
cess, from the occurrences of the past
year; and justly concluding, that, whilst
there was much to animate the members
to perseverance, there was nothing to
create despondency or alarm.
The annual report of the Board Of
Managers was then read by the Secre-

The public will probably be surprised
to learn, that the famous Springfield Oy,

must give place in the scale to another,
heavier and nobler than he. We allude
to the OK raised, fatted, and now owned,
by Col. Asa Stebbins, Of Deer6eld.-
This OK is but six years old, and it is
said by good judges will now weigh tAir-

NEW ENGLAND CENTENARY.

NEW-ENGLAND CENTENARY.
The second centenary of the landing
OF our torstathers, at Plymouth, was CO.
iebrated at that place in the following
Impressive manner, by those who will
never live to see the third.
"Plymouh Celebration.-Yesterday
completed the circle of two centuries
since our humble forefathegs, stimulated
to enterprise by ecclesiastical oppression,
landed on the barren shores of New
England, after an inclemem voyage
across the Atlantic, to seek an asylum,
and form areligious community, sepa-
rated from the rest of mankind, where
they might exercise the rights Of con-
science without molestation.
The occasion induced great exertions
at Plymouth, to render it distinguished
and numerous ladies' and ,lemen from
Boston, and other places, thronged, that
town, notwithstanding the cold weather.
The ceremonies attending this ccle-
bration commenced in the forenoon, by
religious exercises. President Kirklan
OF Harvard College, offered up prayers
several hymns were sung; and dis
course was afterwards delivered b, the
Hon. Mr.. Webster After the conclu-
sion OF the exercises in the meeting
house, a procession was formed to the
Town House, where about forty gentle
men sat down to an excellent dinner
The festivities Of the day terminated by
ball in the evening, which was attended
by great deal of fashionable company
from the metropolis, in addition to the
hospltable inhabitants Of Plymouth.
Mr.. Wcbster's address, which occu-
pied an hour and three quarters in the
delivery, is celebrated for its strength,
its appropriateness, and the powerful
impression it produced; it is spoken of
in high terms OF appreciation for these
and various other particular cxcellen-
cles. Ev. Post.

GREAT FIRE-AT NETWORK

NETWORK, JAN. "A.
We have again to record calamtous
fire in this city. 1t broke out yesterday
morning, between and O'Clock, and
has reduced to ashes the block OF build
ings which comprized the square be-
tween Front and South streets, from the,
upper side OF Fulton street to the fire.
proof buildings on Front and South
streets, recently built by Gen. Stevens
and Messrs. Schermerhorns, above
Crane wharf alley. One fire proof Stores,
lately built on Front street, by Mr..
Moore, and which was unoccupied, is
all that remains of the whole square,
On the opposite, or west side of Front
street, some stores are burnt down, and
others much injured between the fire.
proof store owned by Bogert and Kneel-
and, and the store of Matthew Howell.
The very valuable stores occupied by
Messrs. Horton and Woodruff, and Mr..
Thomas Bloodgood, it is said, have sus-
tanned the most damage on that side Of
the street. The latter contained great
quantity of wines; the upper loft, we
understand, was filed with about 10000
bottles OF choice quality, nearly all Of
which was destroyed. Mr.. Bloodgood
is, however, fully insured. The build
ings destroyed were principally of wood,
and of no great value, but some of them
contained considerable quantities of mer~
chandise, the loss of which, it is said,
will exceed in amount the value OF the
buildings. The buildings were and 4
stories high, and the conflagration was
extremely rapid, the flames Illuminating
nearly the whole city.
The fire broke out in the lower part
of wooden building on the east side Of
Front street, near Crane wharf, occupied
by Sarah Smith, as small tavern, which
was entirely consumed.

FROM THE AFRICAN COAST.
NORFOLK, JAN. II.


To the prompt attention of Mr.. MAR
TIN, of the Steamboat Hotel Reading
Room, who boarded the John Adams al
the moment of her arrival in port, we
are indebted for regular file of the
Sierra Leone Gazette from Cd October,
1919, to 7,h October, 1920, inclusive,
which was politely handed him by DIR
Williamson, Surgeon of the John
Adams. From the same source Mr..
Martin obtained the following Informal
ton:
The John adams weighed anchor and
sailed from Cape Sierra Leone on the
4th November, at which time the Ame-
rican Colony of people OF color, at Sher-
bro, were in as prosperous a state as
could be expected, from the inactive
lives that they led, not yet having OBJ
tanned their land. Daniel Coker, Ca
mulatto man, upon whom the care of
the settlement has deyolyed, since the
death of Mr.. Bacon, was at Sierra Leone
when the John Adams sailed, waiting the
arrival of more Colonists and further in
structions from government. He is re-
presented as man OF great personal
merit, active and persevering, and SO
zealously devoted to the humane pur-
poses of the undertaking, that the most
pleasing anticipations may be INDUCED
ofthe success of his efforts in its behalf.
He was frequently With the Colonists,
and omitted nothing to promote their
comfort and prosperity.
Mr.. Martin further learned from DR..
Williamson, that, about the 18th of De-
cember, one of Aury's squadron had
captured Spanish Polacre of great va
lue, out Of a fleet from St. Iago de Gu
ba, bound to Cadiz, under convoy of an
English .rigate, and sent her into Old
Providence.
