AFRICAN CoLoNIZATloN.--Gov. Roberts, of Lii
IBERIA, has written letter to NJ. ST Clair Clark,
Ea.l, acknowledging the receipt Of Judge Bryan S
memorial and circular TO Congress, asking CO. OPP
Grafton of this government in establishing line
o! steamships between the United States and AZ
rica. He is Of opinion that the success of the en-
terprse would prodnce important results in favor
of colonization, as well the commercial ipter-
ests Of this country and Liberia. The facilities
it would secure would greatly augment he says,
emigration, and do away with the prrjudces of
many p-rsous who have heretofore been opposed
to the Colonization Society.

The following Washington letter to the New

York Express treats on two important matters:
An order was made in the Senate on the Goth
ult., to print 5000 extra copies Of report from
one of the bureau departments relative to the
overflow of the Mississippi, and plan to prevent
the same. The Mississippi is gradually but sure
y wedging up It's way to the Gulf by means of
the alluval deposits it forces from the valley
above, and every foot of earth thus aggregated
endangers the safety of property to proportion
ate extent. The volume OF water decreases hut
slightly il at all; ana these deposits constantly
increasing Consequently, f channel is not
effected and an outlet gained, the mighty waters
must soon swell beyond the embankments and
overspread the adjacent country on either side.
The attention OF Congress is due to this subject
The commerce passing down the Mississippi will
amount to OVER $500, ,00D, 900 per annunl. Every
State is eqay Interested, Carada is interested
and 50 are the republics Of Central aud South
America. river like the Mississippi combines
uniies, and confederates more people aud their
trade than simply reside upon its banks. 1t is
nations artery, and is therefore essential to
Maine as it is to Georgia-to New York it is
to Missouri have not examined the report, but
it is said to be ably prepared and covers the whole
ground of the subject.
Another reform is contemplated, which all must
appreciate. The Supreme Court of the United
States has become chancery tribunal in which
cases allowed to sumber for hundred years,
and some may even sleep until Doomsday The
fault. aud the evil is fast increasing-is not
chargeabe to the court, but to the basis of the sys-
tenn upon which it is sganized To nterpose rem
edy. Mr.. Sebastian has presented bill euargng
the powers of the Circuit Courts OF the United
States; and this scheme seems TO be SO compre-
hensve and will prove to be so effectual that every
one will heartily rejoice at its passage. Mean
while il has been referred 10 the conn:tee the
Judiciary.
