COLONIZATION NOTICE.

7NHE VESSEL heretofore advertised to sail
L from Norfolk, Virginia, the lst November,
will be postponed to the 18th November. This de-
lay is rendered necessary in consequence of the
vessel, the Ralph Cross, not yet having returned
from Liberia; and also by the fact that go many
persons have applied for passage in her that we
shall be obliged to send itDo vessels to accommo-
date them. We have received slrcady the names
OF 4S3 applicants for passage in said vessel, while
she cannot comfortably carry more than 225. Many
of these persons live in North and South Carolina
We have therefore determined to send
from Wilmington, North Carolina; to sail the Goth
November. This will be the first expedition ever
fitted out from that port.
The present exhausted state OF our funds will
not allow to send out all OF the above applicants
We have promised passage to $50, and the mo-
ney to pay their expenses has yet all to be collect
ed We therefore appeal to our friends to come 10
our help, and that right speedily.
We expect to send vessel from New Orleans the
Goth December and one from Savannah soon
thereafter as circumstances will Justify.

Der, from the East Indies, was inhabitant of Pit

scendants of the mutineers of the Bounty. He WINS
the bearer Of dispatches from Admiral Moresby, in
land is to obtain assistance for the religious
education of the people of Ptcairns Island and to
induce the government to allow English ships of
war to visit the island oftener than they now do.
The individual alluded to ia about sixty years OF
age, and about twenty.iy years ago visited Pit
cairn, and was allowed to remain on the island as
u religious teacher and to practice medicine. He
s almost the only stranger ever allowed to remain

munity. The inhabitants of the island In question
numbered when he left eighty six females and
lightweight males, who are nearly all descended
of the Bounty mutineers, and three Tahitan wo-
men, They are still remarkable for their moral and
religious character; chiefly through the teaching
and example of Adams. the chief mutineer.
