on the LIST Of October. Over one hundred ap-
piications are already on the list, including

An expedition will sail from Norfolk Vir-
GINA, early in November, and nearly two hun
dred e,nigrants are expected to take passage

President Roberts, by the last accounts, had
departed for England, with view TO the adjust.
ment OF the difficulties provoked by some En-
glish traders.
Ii was reported that an attempt had been
made to renew the slave trade north of Liberia,
near Sierra Leone; which rumor, saws the
above named paper, makes us feel an earnest
wish to plant settlement of five hundred
people near Gallinas river, as an advanced
post to watch The pirates"
SUICIDE AT THE TAvIsTocK HoTEL.-A
painful sensation was caused yesterday at the
Tavistock Hotel, Covent Garden, in conse.
quence of the following discovery: 1t appears
that a gentleman belonging to highly respec
table American family, had been lodging at the
hotel. and from his generally pleasing manner
no one for a moment contemplated that his in
was created from the fact that the unfortunate
gentleman did not make his appearance at The
usual hour. Some of the domestics were there
fore despatched to his bed room to call him,
but not receiving an answer the door was
opened, when the unfortunate person was
found lying on his back on the floor; pillow
was under his head, and his throat was sever
ed almost from eur TO ear. medical man
was sent for, who pronounced life extinct
From more minute examination made of The
room, there seems no doubt that the deceased
had, IN the first instance, cut his throat while
lying in bed, and that he then iumped out and
made his bed on the floor, where he shortly
after expired. The name of the deceased could
not be learned, but it is we'll known that he is
the son OF an American doctor or surgeon
