Liberia u Important Intelligence. "A letter has
been received by Elliott Cresson, ESQ, of this
city, from Gerard Ralston, dated London, Nov.
"a, conveying intelligence of the conclusion of a
treaty of Aniity and Commerce, on terms of per-
feet reciprocity, between the Republic of Llbe-
ria and the British Government. President Rob-
erts having successfully negotiated the recogni-
tion of the republic and the conclusion of this
treaty, was TO sail for home on the Cd inst in a
British sloop-of-war specially offered TO him.
The most important news, however, contained in
the letter, is the announcement that Lord Pal
merston, on behalf of Great Britain, had nearly
concluded an arrangement to furnish President
Roberts $4,000 to purchase all the territory ly-
ing between the boundaries OF Sierra Leone and
Liberia, where the slave trade is carried on ex-
,ensively; the President pledging himself that
the slave trade shall forever be abolished from
the whole line of coast from the furthest extrem-
ly of Liberia feast and southl to the confines of
the British colony OF Sierra Leone. We under
stand that project for purchasing this territory
has been entertained by a wealthy friend of Col
onzation in Cincinnati, Mr.. Nc Micken; but
this step on the part of the British Government
will probably anticipate the execution of his
par. AS it is likely to have a most important
bearing upon the abolition of the slave trade on
the African coast, it is matter of considerable
consequence in the eyes of all who oppose that
unrighteous traffic. Philadelphia Bulletin.

LITERARY PRIzEs.-We are told that III,
office of the newspaper called " II Flag OF oui
Union" was the scene of good deal of excite-
ment Yesterday when the prizes which had been
offered for the best literary productions were u

written by Edgar W. Davies, Jr. of New York
CITY, drew the first prize of $1,000, which will
commence the new Volume OF the alag of our

This period being just before the opening OF

Let us compare this with the valuation Of the
Real and Personal property OF the State of New
York just before the opening of the Erie Canal,
viz, in 1895, which by official documents, was
S263,000,000, and we shall arrive at the conclu.
sion that Vermont Uust before the opening Of her
Internal improvements has about lid of the

RAILROADS.

Vermont Valley Railroad We learn from the
Bellows Falls Gazette that the Commissioners are
about to open Books for the subscription to the
stock of the Vermont Valley Railroad. This
road is from Brattleboro' 10 Bellows Falls, and
when completed will open continuous line in
the Valley of Connecticut River, from Hartford.
Conn, to Wells River, VT, a distance Of 1872
miles. The Gazette says:
"a survey of the route has been recently
made. The distance from Brattleboro' to
Bellows Falls is 90 Clio miles, with no grade
exceeding 20 feet to the mile, and we have rea.
son to believe that this road can be constructed
at less expense the mile, than the same distance
from this place upon any other of the roads ter
minating here. The advantages Of its position
are very great, connecting as il does New York
and the lower Valley of Connecticut River, with
all the Western part of New Hampshire and
more than three quarters ofVermont We have
no doubt the stock will be as good as that of any
New England road, and trust that the friends Of
this most necessary line Of railroad will not fail
to push it forward to speedy completion"
