Republic of Liberia.

An officer OF the Decatur, just arrived
from the coast of Africa, has written a
letter 10 the Boston Post, in WHICH he
gives the following account of the republic
of Liberia. The letter gives the news up
to the 22d of September, some items of
which we omit, having before published
them:
1.-The republic seems to be in -four
ishing condition, considering that it is
peopled almost entirely by slaves who
have been liberated in our Southern
States. 1t has a liberal constitution,
wholesome laws, two newspapers, church
es of the various denominations, and well
conducted schools. hr
Their commerce is beginning to be
worth looking after, nor did Great Britain
send their popular president and suite
home in a magnificent man of war for
nothing. In proof of which | enclose you
copy of treaty recently concluded be-
tween the parties, showing that, while
..the Queen, God bless her." has one of
her bright eyes on the suppression of the
slave trade on the shore, she has the other
fixed on the palm oil, ivory and gold dust
of the interior. But shrewdly suspect
that we, too, shall have finger in the pie;
for | understand that the Rev. r. r. Cur
ley. the champion of colonization, had ar
rived at Monrovia before we left, as an
agent from our government, and that he
was most favorably received. The Rev.
Mr.. Bastian, lady and child, missionaries
from our country, arrived at Monrovia,
in health, about the middle of September.
DR.. ]. w. Prout formerly of Balti-
more, who was much esteemed by the
Liberians, and held seat in their Senate,
was drowned Oh Monrovia bar, while re-
turning from a vessel at anchor in Mes
seurado roads, which he had visited pro-
fessionally to attend the sick. He also
held the office of register, which is now
filled by the renowned Col. Hicks, from
Kentucky"

Leaves music, when her song IS ended:
A sweetness left, which takes not wings
But with each pulse Of eyes hlended
Thus life involves double light,
Our acts and words have manly brothers;
TIE heart that makess own delight
Makes also delight for others.
The owls that boot from midnight tower
Shed gloom and discord ere they leave il !;
Aud sweetness closes, like flower
Thal shuts Itself from tones that grievc it;
Thus life involves our double joy,
