effect, and in consulting the wishes Of the colored

sed through this City, few days ago. who is depu-
ted by his society to attend TO the kation and
to supply the wants Of that part Of the population
who have made choice of Hayti for their future
home. They will sail from our port OF Beaufort,
Ia few days hence, on board vessel which has been
engaged for the purpose, owned BY Mr.. Henry
Cooke, of that place, and commanded by Captain
Thompson.
The SIG Of this population who have chosen to
go to Liberia, and the 100 who wish to be removed
to Ohio Indiana will sso be sent there at the ex
pense OF the Sncety Of Friends the former, by
one OF The first vessels to the African Settlement !;
and the latter, by means OF wagons which will be
engaged TO convey them and the little property Of

The subjoined remarks. from the United sIate.
Literary Gazette, illustrate with much force ane
perspicuity, the value and importance of Interna
| improvement.
"lnternal Improvement made TO facilitate inter
course. operates through all the various interests oil
society, in the augmentation OF national wealth In
its primary operations it removes Instructions to
the interchange OF commodities, and causes labor
and capital to be turned from transportation to be
employcd in production. In reducing the expenses
OF transportation, it increases national industry, and
renders it more productive oil both quantity ard
value In all its branches. By the removal of OBJ
struetions to intercourse, it brings the various
branches of industry to each other; and the
nearer they are brought. the more they promote
each others interests and the interests Of the whole
community; for the nearer they are, the more is
saved IN transport between them and what is saved
IN transport is so much gained, and equally shared
between producer and consumer Ii raises the val
ue OF lands within the sphere Of its influence, in
proportion as It increases the value Of their produce
1t augmcnts the circulating capital to the amount
OF the additional quantity Of produce, which through
IFS means becomes an object of transport II in
creases the products OF agricultural industry, and il
increases the products Of other branches of industry
to DC exchanged for them. 1t increases commerce.
by increasing the quantity OF products to be trans
ported aud distributed by IT, And though internal
improvement is thus operative in the promotion Of
industry and tho general increase of wealth. the
work itself, in which the improvement consists, is
executed without the reduction of capital.
The money employed for the payment Of labor
merely changes hands, and remains in The commu-
nifty to the same amount it would have done, had
not the labor been so employed and as for the ne
cessary consumption Of the laborer, that is the
same that it would have been had he been idle
The labor employed in this way is not to the d.
mnuton OF production in any branch of industry
It is chiefly taken from the surplus hands attached
to agriculture. II is estimated that one third of the
population of country engaged in agriculture can
produce enough for the consumption of the whole
In this country more than eight ten,hs belong to
this class, whereas less than half our population
could produce an abundant supply both for home
and foreign consumption. Therefore, to employ
the surplus hands in other occupations, or in works
OF public or private utility. would be gain to the
community to the whole amount of the value Of their
labor"

FROM this statement it appear, that in no instance

quantity OF earth carried on" hos produced, is not
exaggerated; but the banks have now throughout

From Colombia.-Captain Hitchcock, who ar.
rived yesterday in the ship Charleston from Cura-
coa having departed thence on the 18th ut. gives
US the following statement. con6rmatory of the re.
port respecting the revolution in Colombia:---
"A few days previous to leaving Curacao, the
government schooner OF that island arrived from
Lagoira. with letters from The Dutch Consul there,
informing that revolution, under Gen. Paez, had
commenced at Valencia that several Of the ptinci
pal Inhabitants Of that city had been killed that
Paez had collected an army of between aud 5000
men. and was on his way 10 Caracas, to reduce that
city to his measures-his object being to separate
that part OF the republic, constituting the indepen
cy OF Venezuela from the other two, and make it q
district government. Great CONSERVATION prevailed
al Laguira and Porto Cabello Vessels having pro
visions on board prohibited departing, and the
ports were to be open for six months. The Dutch
Consul requested the government Of Curacao TO
send vessels OF war to each place--to protect him,
and likewise the merchants and such property a.
might be submitted to :heir charge. Accordingly
two days after the receipt Of the letters two soops
OF war were despatched, one for Laguirs. the other
TO Porto Cabello.'

terry tickets. and the above mentioned ycerti6-
cate. and then released him. Mr.. Furnald call
ed Yesterday morning at the Bank, before it
was opened. and related the occurrence to Mr..
TAYLOR. the first teller, and at the same time
requested that if any person should present
the certificate for payment, he might be detain-
ed. II was fortunate circumstance for Mr..
F. that he called so early at the Bank, as the
sequel will shew. .,.,.s.
A very few minutes after the Bank opened, "a
man came in and presented the Identical certi-
fcate for payment. Mr. Taylor told him that
it REQUIRED the endorsement Of Mr.. Furnald, on
which the villain asked for pen, and very de-
liberately wrote the name OF Mr.. +. on the
back. Mr. Taylor Immediately walked round
the counter, seized the man by, the collar, and
brought him behind the desk, when he accused
him of stealing the certificate and also Of forge
ry. The man replied that he was employed by
another person, who was waiting outside, to
get the money. Two of the clerks were then
requested to go out and watch the movements
of two suspicious looking MEN, who were seen
standing at the corner. They Immediately left
the Bank, when the two fellows walked down
William through Garden, and up Broad street,
followed by the clerks, who despairing of ac-
comprising their object, resored to the stra-
tagem ofcrying "stop thief" which had the de-
sired effect, as the rogues, on hearing the cry,
started of on run, separating at the corner OF
Wall and Broad-streets, pursued BY the clerks.
The man who went up Wall-street, was over
taken just as he got into Broadway, where assis-
lance was obtained, and he was escorted to the
Bank. In the mean time the police officers were
sent for, three of whom came down 10 the Bank
and carried off the two men, stopping on their
way, at bakers shop to get the third villain,
who had concealed himself in loft over the
shop among some empty barrels. The three
were then conducted 10 the Police, where they
were all recognised as old offenders, and fully
committed for trial.
These fellows are no doubt part of the gang
which has recently been committing depreda-
tons in and about Philadelphia, and finding
business rather slack in that quarter, have come
on here to continue their operations. AS they
have met with such salutary check at the on
set, we trust they will find it prudent to change
the scene OF action. At all events, Our public
officers cannot be too vigilant.

Purified Pyroligneous Acid.

TIyE use othis article appears 20 be perfect substl'

yerv numerous experiments have established the fact,
that the favour of meat prepared in this manner is fully
equal, not superior to that given in the common mode
of smoking. For safety convenience, economy c,ean

tages over the common one. %,
There are two modes in which this acid is used, with
perhaps equal success One is to mix with the PIC
kle Which put to the meat, in the proportion OF one
quart to $50 to 200 pounds of meat It's not material
whether this be done when the meat is first salted or
not n should be suffered to remain three or four weeks
and then taken out and hung up in any convenient
The other mode, is simply to battle overa piece OF
meat with the acid, once, twice, three or four tunes
ccornp to its size In either mode, the quantity Of
acid necessary will be about the same.
The proportion of one quart to 200 pounds OF meat
will be found enough to suit the taste of some-others
