SIR;-
am constant reader OF the Herald, and think,
on the whole, that its report. Of "matters and
things is about as near the thing" as any in the
city; but the account your reporter gave OF the
services in Mr. Shimeall's Church on Sunday Eyes.
terday) was enough to make saint-almost lose
his patience! He lugged in DR.. Potts and Duane
street Church with the Episcopal (St Jude's)
Church and the reason was owing to confused
idea on the part of him who pretended to give a
true story. The last named Rev. is preaching in
the same building-St. Jude's Church Is to be in
9Th Avenue, DIR. P.'s in the 9th, as you have before
stated. FAIR PLAY.
ANswRR.-We admit the soft impeachment
Our reporter did mistake Mr.. Shimeall for DR.
Potts Not knowing either, personally. he went
to the building where DIR. Potts breaches to report
him. He supposed the first parson he caught wal
the real bird but it seems Dr. Shimeall and DR.
Potts breaches in the same building-one up stairs
the other down stairs. That's the truth.

FROM MoNRovIA AND CAPE PALMAs, AFRICA
Through the polite attention Of gentleman, who
has just arrived from Gambia, we have obtained
several items Of information, which probably may
be interesting to many of our readers.
The colonial system does not work so well as its
friends and patrons in this country could wish for
the coast generally from Sierra Leon down to the
Bite of Benin, has been very unhealthy for the past
twelve months; this cause alone has been sufficient
TO paralize the efforts Of the colonsts to great ex
tent; many among them who have survived the
disastrous effects of the climate, are yet much re-
duced their constitutions so utterly prostrated that
they are capable Of doing but little to sustain life
In connection with the inhospitable climate, the
coloniss find in the native tribes in their vicinity
but little if any disposition to favour them and
their views the negroes generally on that section
Of the coast, are to conforming to civiliza
ton in any shape, unless it is perfectly apparent to
them that they are to gain some immediate advan
,age; they are treacherous and much addicted to
thieving, whenever chance offers.
The missions established by the several religious
denominations have the same obstacles to contend
with as the colonists; indeed, in some cases Their
situation is more unpleasant especially those sta.
tions which exist among the least civilized tribes
several of such stations are also distinguished fol
their insalubrity.
These things certainly quite dscouragng to thu
friends of the colony, as well as those Of the mis-
sions however, it is to be hoped, that the descrip
ton Of affairs that portion Of the coast may be
somewhat coloured; such possibly may be the case
in this instance, as the gentleman from whom We
obtained our information, probably has been &C.
we're sufferer, and if he has drawn gloomy pic
ture, it is quite natural
