The Iiherinn Colonists.

The bark Liberia for Monravia car
ries this trip few passengers, and mont
of them are sent out by the Colonial
ton society. The passengers, about a
dozen in number, are negroes from
South Carolina, who have relatives in
Liberia, upon whose invitation they
are going. In the cabin will sail Rev.
c. G. Renick, missionary bishop to
Cape Palmos, a white man, who has
been settled there for several years.
He returned to this country year ago,
and has recently been married. his
wife will accompany him on the voy-
age. There we're about thirty colonists
from Arkansaw, who were TO have
sailed on the Liberia. They arrived
too early, but were give permission by
the agents of the vessel to live ON
board until she sailed. All went we'll
until the arrival of the Monravia, a
vessel of the same line. With her
came some returning c~olonists, and
their representations so discouraged
the outbound party that they return
ed home to Arkansaw.
