Intelligence was brought yesterday morning by

Tnr AFRICANS -Anothcr important step has
been gained within few days in throwing light up
on the history OF the captured Africans Through
the exerions Of Prof. Gibbs, two native Africans
have been found, sailors board the British

satisfied himself that their language not that of
the Mandigoes-and thus a mystery thrown
over the matter which is now explained. One of
the new interpreters is native Mandi, and was
cued from Spanish slave ship about seven years
since. The other was brought up at Sierra Leone.

The means OF communication are as good

individual in turn, which al the time of writing this
article was only in part completed They all agree
in stating certain facts-that, after being made slaves

AUTUMN.

SWEET Sabbath Of the year
When evening lights decay,
Thy parting steps me,hinks hear
Steal from the world away.
Along thy sunset skies
Their glories melt in shade;
And like the things we fondly prize,
Seem lovelier as they fade.
A deep and crimson streak
The dying leaves disclose
As on Consump,ion's waning cheek,
Mid ruin, blooms the rose.
Thy face vision brings,
OF beauty in decay;
Offair and early faded things,
Too exquisite to stay
Ofjoys that come no more
OF flowers whose bloom is fled;
OF farewells wept upon the shore;
Offriends estranged, or dead;
or all that now may seem,
To memory's fearful eye,
The VANISHED beauty of dream,
Ger which we gaze and sigh.
