RAT PRiNrERs. - The Pittsburg Gazette
says that all the hands employed in the Mercury
Office have entered libel suit before Alderman
Steel against the former printers Of that paper for
having published circular denouncing them as
Z Rats, and giving a description Of their persons,
in order to prevent their obtaining situations else
where. Il means in plain English, that they have
violated the customs Of the business, and the hon
orabe members of the craft have announced the
fact to their typographical brethren.l

tending the magnetic telegraph from Petersburg to
Norfolk, Va, have reached Norfolk, and are 10 be
put up Immediately.
LlBERIA.-The advices from Liberia to the 23d
May, received by the recent arrival in this city,
says the Baltimore American, represent that gene
ral health and prosperity prevailed at Liberia.
The Laura, which sailed from New Orleans in
January last, had reached Liberia, but she had lost
on the passage IA emigranis, who died with the
cholera. There had not been any case Of cholera
among them after they reached Liberia.
The authorities Of Liberia have broken up the
slave factories at New Cess and Trade Town.
volunteer corps of four hundred men were raised
for the purpose, and the commander of the French
war steamer Esran offered his vessel 10 carry the
troops down to New Cess The slavers had armed
a large native force, who attempted to prevent the
Liberia troops from landing but a few shells fred
by the French steamer kept them off until the Lii
shore. They soon routed the SLAYER and all his
allies. The Spaniard who owned the factory, see
ing what would be the result, set fire to his estab-
lishment with his own hand, aud then fled on his
horse into the bush, and so escaped. The troops
liberated about thirty slaves and destroyed The i'm
mense wall which surrounded his premises
This expedition cast the Government of Liberia
very large sum for them-probably from IS $50
TO $4,000.
The English squadron has for the last month or
two been bloekading the Gallinas to prevent the
slave trade there. Some time ago they burnt down
the slave factories; but there is very little prospect
that any permanent good will thereby be Effected
The slavers are watching every movement, and
the moment the men of war are out Of sight, will
revive their trade.

was time Of general rejoicing. Capt Trowbridge
OF her Maiesty's ship Amazon, lin which the Pres

The Legislature held an extra session in Febrp
airy, al which the treaty with Great Britain was
ratified, and some other important business at
tended TO.
The Liberia Herald, after alludinq to the racor.
milton OF their Independence by England and
France says; " We wait with no little anxiety %
bear what the AmericeR people will do for us
That they have done much, cannot be denied see
