gers Of the American Colonization Society,
and IS edited by the Rev. r. X. Gowley, a
gentleman, well known and respected for his
poiy, genius, and refined education. A copy
Of the work has been sent TO us, and we take
great pleasure. in recommending it TO the
patronage of the community. Apart from all
considerations connected with the objects of
the work, it presents claims to the flvors of an
intelligent community, and its matter is full of
interest. Wo have attentively perused the
number sent us, and have found rich treat in
the article entitled, "A Review of a Mission
from Cape Coast Castle to Ashantce."

>BEEAD.-We are exceedingly well supplied
with bread in this town, and for Its variety we
challenge an example. We have Ncw-York
bread, Philadelphia bread, Boston bread and
what is The more remarkable, every loaf is
baked in Providence. The spirit Of competit-
ion which has for a long time existed in the
bread market, has led to the adoption of these
new names. Aunt Hannah does not approve
Of the mode, and says that the Bakers of Prov
dcncc, can and do bake as good bread, as
those who reside in Ncw-York, Boston, Bati-
more or Philadelphia. But the bakers will
have their own way;--thoy are an odd set OF
folks, and we shall not quarre! with them.

SAVANNAH, April 26.-Cotton The de-
mand for Uplands has been moderate through
the week. Good Ccttons would readily bring

The transa ctions in Sea Islands have been
principally confined TO inferior and good fair,
which have sold at 20 l-2 "a, and large
proportion of this description has been taken,
out Of market-it is. computed that at least
lso0 bags have been sold.

toHN HowAnp PAYNE. This gentleman,
well known as dramatic writer, and as A" the
American Rosciu., has been Gazetted in Lon
don, and pronounced a bankrupt in fortune.
but not in fame. Mr.. Payne is the author OF
numerous plays, most Of which have been well
received by English and American audiences.
They should have netted him handsome for
tune, and would have done so, if he had been
as careful of his purse, as he is of his dramatic
reputation. Mr.. Payne is native of Boston;
and is partially indebted to the Inhabitants ol
Providence, for a moiety Of his fame. When
lad, he performed at our Theatre ;-and, 1t
was here, that he was first distinguished as an
actor The last twenty years Of his life have
been spent in London and Paris, where he has
acquired an eminence which thousands might
envy. We regret to see him Gazetted, and
could have asked for him far better fate
But his is the common fate of distinguished ID
talents and it would seem from the history OF
men, that the most eminent, arc always DOOM
ed to be the most needy.
