The operations of theyColonization So
ciety are very generally viewed 10 the light
of an experiment. This view is partially
correct. But some Of the objects of that
Society are definite, and certain Of attain
meaL
/. Shares are liberated at an expense Of
590.-This IS more than the actual aver
ags of removing them to Liberia. This Is
an object entirely Independent ofthe ques-
ton. whether an masters will llberote their
slaves on the condition ofremOyal. Thou
sands ofslayes are now ready to be hber-
a+od on this condition: and their masters, in
giving them up, sacrifice the price which
they would bring in a southern market,
amounting TO about ten times as much as
the sum actually required to set them al
liberty. This then Is the difference To
purchase freedom requires about $500.
The Colonization Society actually procure
1t for $50; and thousands, for the want OF
this small amount, must still remain In
bondage.
.. Not only arc the slaves liberated,
but tiev and their children are at the same
time BlaceI r;iIE reach Of q good common
e4gcah0a. and qf ample religious jasiruc
ton. This is the testimony of the late Mr..
Asbmun. Common and Sabbath Schools
In the colony are abundant, aud there are
five orsx licensed preachers, for 400 in
habitauts, not supported by Society, but
bv the colonists themselves, and by So
ciety In Switzerland. And in addition to
an this. the colouists and their descendants
placed under those eleyatIng influences of
substantial independence and freedom,
which they never could enjoy in this cOun-
try.
8. The Society is planting the germ Of
cirHi1sd nation m Afriea.-Thls Is no
longer TO be called In question. The CO
lony at Liberia has prospered, far more,
with much less expense Of life and trea-
treasure than the early colonies of this
country. at Plymouth and at jamestown.
The advantages ofAgricuIture 81 of trade,
which 30 already enjoys, must, with more
certainty, lead It on to power and great
ness. The hand of Providence may IN
deed reverse lis destiny, but so, and per-
baps with equal probability, itmay reverse
the desdnies of this country.
Christians, PbiIanthropists, ofeyer scru-
DuIous caution in acts of charity; We who
are fearful of doubtful projects and daring
experiments; here is something substantial
ard certain for you to take hold Of.

BASIL HAIL.

Captain Hall found one individual IN the
United States who read him and treated
his annoying curiosites in a manner which
merited, and which it seems Captain Hall
himself indirectly commends. As the an
ecdote has never been published, We will
give it, at the same time expressing the
hope that twill find place, with suitable
comments, in the American edition of
CAPTAIN Halls Travels.
What stones are these! said Capt. Hall
TO a Payier, who was very busy in laying
curb stones on one ofthe sidewalks, lead
inc to the Capital at Washington. The
Payier looked up at the inquirer, and de-
irving an uufayorabe impression, as to his
character, from the first glance Of his fea-
lures, deliberately determined to quiz him,
instead Of making a civil satisfactory re-
ply. What stones are thesel repeated
Capt. Hall, impationtly.-They are such
stones, returned the Pavier, as we use for
curb stones. Where do You get the stone,
said the Captain. st Capt Folsom's,
was the reply. Who IS Captain Folsom?
Captain Folsom is the contractor furnishing
stone. Where, said the Captain, 10 utter
despair, does Capt Folsom get the stonesl
HcIe the fellow with sly look oftriumPh,
gravely replied, that's Capt. Folsom's look
out not mine.
While we are upon this subject, we will
relate another anecdote of Captain Basil
Hall, which will shew the estimate which
the very respectable representative Of G..
Britain, in the United States, Mr.. Vaug-
han, puts upon Captain Hall. At the Co.
lumbar Institute dinner, Capt. Hall sat
near the President, Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Vaug-
han and Col. Knapp. Capt. Hall stated
in the course OF conversation, that he had
learned, from good authority, that there
were I,2O0,090 paupers in the United
States Mr. Adams expressed his belief
of the statement, aud Capt. Hall repeated
that he had learned the fact from authority
on which he implicitly relied. Mr.. Ad-
ans appealed to Col. Knapp for his views
on the subject, as he had been on a Com
mittee Of the Massachusetts Legislature
appointed to investigate the subject Of pau
Perism. Col. Knapp, after giving his
views, asked Capt. Hall what he under
stood by paupers The Captain, replied
that he understood by the term, those mem
bers ofthe community who were unable to
pay their debts. Then replied Col. Knapp
the King OF the Royal Family Of England
have been paupers for century. Mr.
Vaughan pinched his couaryman, and, in
a whisper, begged him not to make O fool
Of himseIfby hazarding another remark.

.Acarice Outi0iHed-The case OF John
Eyre, Esq. who though worth upwards Of
30, 000I was convicted for stealing eleven
qures of common writing paper, and sen
fenced to transportation, was rendered
more memorable by the opportunity which
it gave Junius to impeach the integrity Of
Lord Mansfield who was supposed to have
erred in admitting him to bail. An anec-
dote is related OF Eyre, which shows, in a
striking manner, the natural depravlty
of the human heart; and may help to ac-
count for tho meaness Of the crime for
which he stood convicted. Anuncle ofhis
a gentleman of considerable property,
made his will in favour Of clergyman,
who was his intimate friend, and commit
ed it, unknown to the rest Of the family, into
the custody OF the diyne.-However, not
long before his death he altered his mind
as to the disposal of his wealth, he made
another will, IN which he left the clergy.
man only 1901. leaving the bulk of his
large property to 90 to his nephew and heir
at-law, Mr.. Eyre. Soon after the old
gentleman's death, Mr. Eyre, rumaging
over his drawers found this last will, aud
Porceiying the legacy Of 500L in it for the
clergyman, without any hesitation or scru.
pie Of conscience, put it in the fire and took
possession Of ;he whole effects in conse-
quence ofhis uncle being supposed to die
lntostatc. The clergyman coming to town
soon after, and inquiriug into the circum
stances ofhis old friends death, asked if
ne made a will before he died. On being
answered by Mr. Eyre in the negative, the
clergyman very cody put his hand in his
pocket, and pulled out the former will,
10 which Mr.. Eyre had bequeathed him the
whole of his fortune, amounting to several
thousand pounds, excepting a legacy Of
300. to his nephew.
