The poor woman was far advanced in pregnancy at the time and was confined to her hed for a fortnight, from the effects of the wounds inflicted by the dog.

It is stated in a letter, recently published in the columns of the National Intelligencer, that a new race of people has been discovered near the mis sion established by the American Board, at the Sa boon, who are described as being far superior to any on the coast of Africa, and whose language is represented as one of the most perfect and harmo nious in all the world; who have among them a tradition, that some two centuries ago, a stranger came to their country, and instructed them in ci- vilization and their dutins: who are acquainted with the facts and truths of the Holy Scriptures, and who are remarkably prepared for the reception of further knowledge. They are at present re- moving from the inferior towards the coast, and the taissionaries cherish the hope that through

The government print, as in duty bound." vindicates the conduct, of His Excellency Sir John Francis Davis, Baronet &c., &c., &c. in the affair of the "Castle Huntly," in one of those characteristic effusions which display a. perfect disregard for truth. The statement put forth by the official organ" is merely intended to deceive parties who are not resident in Chi na; as it is not possible that even the most addle pated supporter, parasite, or hirling of the Superintendent of Trade, can believe the
waddle of the Government house echo.
