COMMUNICATIONS ten years since, Col.
Ross of Mississippi, residing near Port Gibson,
manumitted his slaves and gave them ample means
to proceed to Liberia. The heirs contested the right
OF the owner to make such disposition of his
slaves, but the courts of Mississippi sustained the
will, and their decision was affirmed by the Su-
preme Court of that State. Accordingly a portion
OF them went out some months since under the
auspices of the Colonization Society," and Yesterday
l43 more, accompanied by 10 from Alabama, left
on the bark Laura. During their stay in this CITY,
III or II died of the cholera. On account of the
litigation attending the contestng of the will by
which these people obtained their freedom, they
have been detained in this country about ten years,
during which time the money left for their outfit
has been expended. Religious exercises were per-
formed on the vessel by the Revs w A. Scott
+. K Beade and w. S. Rogers, in presence of
large assemblage.
About 100 more from Kentucky were on their
way to this city, but were compelled to return to
await more proptious period.
We are glad to see this movement going On in
various parts of the country. The benefits of
colonization have not yet fully developed them
selves but such numbers have recently emigrated to
Liberia, that the colony has increased and -four
ishes wonderfully

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. - Steamboat Richland
Burnt. "A letter from Georgetown, says the
Charleston Courier of the 18th inst, states that
the steamer Richland was entirely consumed by
fire on Sunday morning, about two miles above
Britton's Ferry; and dreadful TO relate, several
lives were lost, among them Mr.. John McFarlan,
of Cheraw. The remains of the late Mr.. John Tay-
lor that were on their way TO be inferred in George
town, were burnt up
The extent of the lives lost had not been ascer-
tanned when the letter was written.
We understand the Richland was owned by
Capt. Brock, her commander, and was not insured
Britton's Ferry is said to be some thirty or forty
miles above Georgetown being the last landing be-
fore reaching that place. The Pee Dee river hav-
ing risen recently, there is every probability that
the Richland had considerable cotton on board,
which was probably insured.
Another letter says: sc have Just received the
dreadful intelligence that the steamer Richand,
while on her trip down, at Britton's Ferry, burst
her boiler, and was burnt down to the waters
edge More melancholy still, it is stated that eight
or ten persons We're killed and burnt. The remains
of Mr.. Taylor, who died at Cheraw, were on the
boat, in care of his nephew, Mr.. McFarlan, who
was coming down with the BODY
The remains, as above mentioned, were burnt
and Mr. McFaran also lost his life.
Another letter gives some additional particulars
The writer says he saw letter from Mr. J. A.
David, of Cheraw, mentioning the blowing up of
the Rchland, and her burning to the waters edge.
The statement is reiterated that eight or ten persons
were killed, the name of one only Mr.. John Nc Far
Ian, given. Mr.. Allan McFaran came down by
land to meet his brother, who had the remains of
Mr. Taylor, their uncle, in charge, for intermen in
the Episcopal Church at Georgetown.
The writer afterwards heard that Capt Brock
the captain of the Richland, was badly burnt, and
that a Mr.. Davis and his lady were killed, while
two little girls they had with them were saved

The steamship Palmetto Capt. Smith, arrived
on Monday evening, from Galveston, which place
she left on the Goth. BY her we received papers TO
the 18th, but find in them very little Of interest.
The Houston Presbyterian Of Saturday week
says We yet have few cases of Cholera, per-
haps fourteen or twenty cases in the last fifteen
days; but as yet, entirely, We believe, confined to
the destitute"
We understand, says the Civilian, that the Su-
preme Court will take no notice of the fictitious
suit, brought IN Comal county, to test the appor-
tionment law, and sent up for the action Of the for
mer body.
Judge Meghinson has delivered the opinion of the
Court in regard to the constiutonality of the char
ter of the Commercial and Agricultural Bank, al
Houston, sustaining The charter.
We extract the following from the Galveston
News:
"The practicabilily of navigating the Brazos by
steam, to Washington and above, which was clearly
and completely demonstrated some years since, is a
fact which al length begins to yield ITS proper re-
suits. The new steamers Brazos and Washington,
built expressly for this trade, have assembled the
river 10 Wa Shngton, and returned TO the mouth /;
the Washington with 524 bales of cotton, the Bra
EOS with 337 making Gil at trip Of both boats.
The trip was made with much caution, in order TO
obviae any accident from the want of familiarity in
the pilots with the snags or other distractions in
the river"
