At meeting Of the friends Of Coloniza-
ton in this city, on Wednesday evening,
we were spectators to one of the most in
tensely thrilling incidents connected with
the departure OF small band Of cmigrants,
just brought to the city by gentleman Of
Shelby county, by whom they were man
united, and placed under the care Of Rev.
Mr.. Pinney, an agent Of the Colonization
Society. Of the number, eleven were the
children of one man, who was present, and
appeared % be yerging to the age Of three
score years and ten. This patriarch was
not OF the number lnanunitted; he belong
ed to another estate, but had permission to
accompany his wife and children to this
city, and here bid them final FAREWELL
When this fact was announced, with an
emotion that almost chokcd the utterance
Of the speaker, there was that long draw
ing in oftbc breath by every listener, which
indicates the workings Of the powers With
in. All eyes were directed towards the
object Of 50 much sympathy; and when il
was further stated, that the owner Of the
old man Reuben, (for 50 he was called)
would permit him to depart with his family
for the small sum Of thousand pence, the
response was with one voice, Reuben shall
be free! On the instant the table Of the
moderator was throngcd, and the requisite
sum laid upon ito reunite for the REM
nant Of their days old man Reuben and his
wife; and they and their children are now
on their way to the shores Of Africa
