Bmigrants to- Liberia,

Yesterday morning the fine ship Banshee, Cant
Wilson, sailed from this port for Liberia. She has
been chartered for the voyage out by the Chesa-
peake and Liberia Transportation Company, and
Is to he discharged at Cape Pamas, the Maryland
Colony. One hundred and seventeen emigtants
embarked on board of the Banshee at this port, Of
whom fifty two were from Maryland, and were sent
out by the Maryland State Colonization Society,"
Thirty-seven were from Virginia, six from Massa-
chusetts, six from Indiana, five from the Ohoctaw
Nation, five from Kentucky three from PennsyI-
vania, two from Ohio, and one from New York
These latter were sent out by the American Colo
nization Society,
The Banshee will proceed hence to HAMPTON
Roads, where she is to receive on board one hun
dred and ten more passengers. who are also sent
out by the American Colonization Society. OF
these, fi(y-six from North Carolina, and fifty
four from Virginin. She also carries out consid-
erabe quantity of freight, mainly account of the
several Missionary Societies. The emigrants who
embarked OH board of her at this port appeared all
to be in excellent condition, and we understand
that there are among them several men of much
promise, who it is expected will make decidedly
useful members of society in the land of their
adoption.
Among the number we noted Thomas Fuller, IT,,
who visited Liberia year or two since at the IN
stance of a colored colonization society az Cam
bridge, Dorchester county, Maryland, and on his
return published very interesting and favorable
journal Of his travels, Il copy of which has been
handed us. All the emgrantS are we'll supplied
with clothing, &C., and the ship is amply provided
with the necesSaries and comforts during the voy-
age. Altogether this expedition is the largest that
has ever yet left this port for Liberia, and from the
character of the emigrants generally, it is well
calculated to promote the interests OF the colonies
Bali. american.

"HanS, how on earth do you keep your potatoes
from freezing?" asked neigtbor one morning.
'tFy, makes Carolina shleep on de potatoes"
answered Hans; 'sdat keeps dem from freezin'n'
There was man who came into country
store with an egg, which he wished to exchange
for darning needle. To oblige him the store
keeper agreed TO the trade. The bargain over, the
egg dealer asked,
'Don't you always treat when you've driven
trade?''
"Not for so small trade" answered the merL
chant.
ga trades trade, whether it's for one egg or a
thousandp' 1i
Aghast at the mans meanness, the store -keeper
complied, and asked, stWh hat will you take?''
"I'd like aglass OF wine, with an egg beat II o in
it!' answered the mean man.
The store. keeper said nothing, but took the egg
which lie had just rec<ived from the man, and
broke 1t. 1t happened to be a double yolked
egg. t4t t--5 tElEg
"rhere!' exclaimed the mean man. CHOW YOU
must give me ttoo needles, cause that's double
egg gin you." esr--ua e-
And that was very mean youth who defined love

to pay some young woman'S board"
And there was Deacon Overreach now he was
so mean, he always carried hen in his gg-box
when he travelled, to pick up the oats his horse
wasted in the mauger and lay an egg for his bre ak
fast in the morning.

WAsHIHGToN, Nov. 2l.-The celebrated
Creole case is abous to be brought to the public
attention in new shape. 1t will be recolIect-
ed that in the year is4l a schooner called the
Creole was taken possession Of by humber Of
slaves, of whom there were one hundred and
thirty FIVE on board, while on a voyage from
Norfolk to New Orleans. The negroes took
the vessel into Nassau, where the British au.
thor;tes refused to reduce the mutineers 10 obc-
dience, Or to deliver them up, or to aid the off.
GERS or owners in recovering possession Of the
schooner The resultwas that the slaves gained
their freedom, and were lost to their masters.
\ demand was Immediately made upon the
British Government for indemnity on behalf Of
the owners. Dir. Webster instructed Mr. Ever
EFT to press the claim, and correspondence
OH the subject took place between Mr. Everett
and Lord Aberdeen, and subsequently between
Mr.. Webster and Lord Ashburton but the
British negociators resisted the demands upon
the ground that the authorities of; the Bermudas
were not responsible for the acts of the negroes
and were not bound to deliver them up MS mu-
tineers i'll the absence Of any treaty embracing
the case. Lord Ashburton declined admitting
the claim as subject for negotiation in the
correspondence which preceded the conclusion
of the treaty of ls43. but it is aIedged held
out expectations that it would he subsequently
adjusted by his Government. The owners Of
the slavesh have now applied to thejoint Commits.
sion sitting in London for the adjudication of
claims for the indemnity which they could not
obtain by aid of di plonacy. The amount of
the demand is 100000, with interest
