LIBERIAN COLONY.

To The Editor Of The n. y. Tribune
SIR: Your reporter the occasion oil the late An
niyersary of the New-York State Colonization Society
made me say: a." No more emigrants should be sent TIL
"better arrangements are made to receive them
This sentence has been misunderstood l have re-
ceived letters of inquiry to my meaning and IN
order to have the correction reach far as the re-
port beg you TO afford space for few observations
During my late visit 10 Liberia found that the re-
ceutaces or buildings owned by the Colonization So
ciey for receiving the new arrived Emigrants were
old and ont Of repair and having been erected some
years ago quite inadequate 10 give sufficient room for
The increasing number now annually emlgraung.
Ny mind was thoroughly impressed with the convic-
ton that permanent and commodious new buildings
for emigrants should be Immediately erected.
Those existing are fully occupied By the hun
dreds of emgranis who have been sent within the last
eight months. No more enigrants can at present be
accommodated. To erect such adequate buildings VIII
require very large proportion OF the funds OF the
American Colonization Society for the ensuing year.
On these two reasons my remark was based, VIZ;
lst That the present buildings filed, and 2d The
demands for means suitable buildings will alb
serb all the available means of the Colonization So
ciety.
OF course / would not discourage the emigration Of
any who by their own funds or by assistance from
Others can purchase rent suitable homes Tor them
selves. meant that tie primary duty of the Colon
ization Society now was not 10 eIpend Its income
houses a. should accommodate more comfortably those
who NAV hereafter be sent. For this purpose hope
the friends of Africa ami Colonization Will make early
and liberal contributions.
Yours. respectfully, J. 3. PfNNE1.

AFFAIRS IN TURKEY.

From Our Own Correspondent.
CoNsTANTNoPLE, May IL, 1855.
The siege of Seyastopol NAY now be consid-
cred as entirely broken up. 1t has proved to
be an entire failure. SevastoPol By nature is
Sery strong and the Allies have also shown them
selves by nature TO be very treas The talents
of the bcsieged have bravely met the incapacity
Of the besiegers and conquered them. England,
France and Turkey united have proved them
selves unable TO take one town of Russia after
a siege of several months, an expenditure of
many millions of pounds sterling and the sacrl-
fee of thousands Of brave men. The two bonn
bardments have ended in no results of any i'm
portance to the Allies; no strong points of the
Russians have been taken and no approaches
been made upon their batteries. Several hun
dreds of men and officers have been killed aud
large quantities of ammunition expended.
Sevastopol still remains the rirgin fortress which
il was previous to the invasion Of the Crimea by
the allied forces.
During the siege Of Seyastopol it has been
proved that earthen redoubts and batteries are tar
superior to those constructed of stone and that
the number OF cannon is of less consequence than
the weight Of tbsir metal Whatever light iDjurie.
