A Great city in Central Africa.

Mr.. Bowen.a Baptist Missionnry,s sent out from
Florida, in bis Journal mentions a visit made las
April TO Ilorrin, the capital Of the Kingdom of
ioruba lie speaks off about the largest
town. With iheeXeeption OF LONDON, that he has
ever seen He describes the inhabitants as Pc
cuar people, with whom he was much pleased
mostly black ,and some nearly whte,hair between
that of n negro and white mans beard; good
European features some of their noses would
ven be considered sharp in America, Again he
speaks Of them as ''.hat superior class race of
men who have Jet black skins with European fea-
lures and large beard They sometimes call
ed mhite black men, aH@
Mr.. Brown adds - i never saw an honorable
man. nor a modest woman in Africa till reached
Horrn The number Of people who read
and write surprised me. Many of them have no
idols They are generally serious, solid, sensi-
bic people,. sand profess TO believe in God. They
have no ffneture Of Mahomedansm."
The exisleeee Of such people in region
hitherto unkn6rn. but supposed to be the abode
OF utter barbAism, is fact Of no little interest.
1t would seedefrom Mr.. Bowen's sra.ements-
unfortunately journal is too briefto be salts
taetory)-that they are wiling listeners to the
preaching Of the gospel. True, he was, on ar
riying afIlorrin. Subjected to nominal confine-
ment Tor few days; but very soon was received
with hdAor by the King, who gave him a valua
bic harSc, presents for his wife, land to build on,
and rlso for house of worship. We note it as
noft1ittle curious, that Swedenberg. in one of
his strange publications. written between eighty
and ninety years sincc speaks of meeting in the
wofld Of spirits. individuals from the inierior;of
Africa. whom he described as being in moral
characteristics. much in advance Of other heath
lens. Ile speaks especially fiheir readiness to
''rec,.ve the truth when communicated TO them.
