DEPARTURE or THE JupIrER. In our LAST
number, we mentioned that this ship was rca.
dy to sail from Norfolk for Liberia She
took her departure on the 9th instant. with
one hundred and scoe,,iy eraigrdnts, ninety one
of which were manumitted slaves. or these
latter, forty six were liberated by The will Of
the late DIR Bradley, of Georgia; fourteen by
Joseph A. Gray, Esq. Of Halifax county, N.
Carolina; fourteen by Mr.. Stewart, OF NAL
borough District. s. G ; three by DIR. Viii
son, Of SmithGcld, Virginia; seven by Geo.
Reynolds, Esq. Of Jefferson county, Virginia,
and nine by Thomas o. Taylor, Of Powha-
tan county, Virginia. or this whole compa-
ny Zone hundred and seventy fourteen are
between thirty and forty years OF age. thirty
owe between t,eenty and thirty, and ninety
si,te under t,centy years, They are, as a
company, very intelligent and respectable,
and promise, by their industry, sobriety, and
good sense. and especially by the noble mo-
tIves which have induced them to seek a home
in Africa, to add strength 10 the Colony, and
TO contribute largely to promote its perma-
nent prosperity.
Our agent writes, that "fhe anxiety Of the
free people OF color TO obtain passages TO Lii,
IBERIA, IS very great. ] have no doubt, that I
could Obtain 500 more IL 6 days. If they could
be taken" We hope that this at viii be
duly considered by the friends OF the Society.
and that means will be secured to enable tho
Society to prosecute its great undertaking
with increased energy and unprecedented
success. -
Fourth Of july We need not inform our
readers, generally, that the Colonization So
ciety depends. in great measure, Tor the means
OF prosecuting its enterprize. upon the contri-
buttons annually made to lis funds, 10 the
churches, on the fourth of July. or on some
Sabbath near TO that day. The Christian
community has felt, 10 a great extent, that
no charity was so appropriate to the season
OF thanksgiving for our National Indepen-
dence and prosperity, as that which would
confer upon the wreiched children OF Africa
similar blessings. The good providence OF
God has thus far made the charity bestowed
for this object greatly ehectual, and 10 thou-
sand benevolent and pious hearts re joice to
see the light breaking through, and dispers-
ing the clouds which have hung deep and
heavy over Africa, and freedom and hope and
knowledge, going forth in blessed fellowship,
TO put gladhess into the broken hearts, and
give strength to the ~faltering steps of her long
neglected and afflicted children. Already,
on her own shores, are they casting aside tue
badges Of their degradation, and coming up
from the sunken valleys of their shame and
sorrow. to shout upon the mountain tops witt
the disenthrailed freemen of Jesus Christ.
