We left Boston the 2Sth of February, in the brig
Mary A. Jones, with Al emgrants including the chill
d,en and nine cabin passengers and arrived here on
the 10Th inst, making the passage in less than the av-
srsee time. The vessel was chartered by james Red
path agent for sending out these enrants, of whom
some 80 more were expected to go out in her. Among
The emicrants were Capt Graddick, the Jsred pilot
whom the Mayor Of Charleston and the Governor OF
South Carolina for time refused TO allow to leave the
city. The Charestonians who feared that ne "ouio
conduct Northern vessels into their harbor, will be glad
a. Learn ba, he takes his wife and mother here to settle
for life. Elder j. W. Lewis for some years preacher
An Maine. New-Hampshire, and other States, is also
hare with his family. Eighteen of this company are
ftom South Carolina, the others are from New-iork
and various England States. They will settle in
body near St. Mark, to which place the vessel was
ordered with them after staying two days in this port
They take along plows, hoes, yokes, &C., which are
scarce in Hayti and intend to become farmers large
delegation from the company was received By President
Gerard at the palace last Friday, during which An
address Ia French was read TO his Excellency who re-
sponded expressing himself highly pleased with the
Interview.
Entrants to this country to be Of the greatest SER
vice TO the people and to themselves, should always
settle in neghborhoods that they may keep up their
school and church organizations set en- example OF In
ausrry to the natives, which lie greatly needed, and
finally make their influence felt in the legislation Of the
country.
Yesterday, visited the Senate Chamber and Repre-
sentatves Hail. the latter of which, with it's various
ante-rooms is being elegantly fitted up for the recep-
ton of the young Prince Alfred of England, who is
expected here about the 25th inst. Among the many
peinngs that decorate this Hall is afuengh portrait
Of John Brown presented by Tbaddeus Hyatt.
The temperature here is about equal 10 our hottest
July weather.
We have bad no tidngs from the satee since the lst
inst, and are wondering whether you have Govern
nent that Hayt will be willing to acknowledge.
The peculiar features of this city which Immediately
arrest the attention If Northerner, and continually
remind him that he is in foreign country, are the
uuube Of donkeys with yarous articles in sacks and
panniers on their backs the great predominance OF
eoored and black faces the tropical trees such as the
cocoa nut PALM bread fruit date &C.. the total alb
senee of chimneys on the houses, ard glass in tie
windows and the entire covering Of the sidewalks by
the piazzas of the stores and dwellings.
The streets are kept as clean az is usual in the cities
of the Southern States and the neglected condition Of
gardens and the prevalence Of houses going TO decay
and ruin, remind one strongly Of that section of the
United Stats But the prompiness with which burnt
districts in tue city are rebuilt is hardly equalled by
our slaveboloing friends.
After attending service at the Cathedral this morning
sunday at O'Clock, went to see the review OF the
Presidents Guard consisting of thousand troops
these were well armed, officers in beautiful French
uniforms, and men well drilled.
