THRILLINa INcIDENT.-At meeting OF the
friends of Colonization in this city, on Wednes-
day evening, we were spectators to one OF the
most intensely thrilling incidents connected with
the departure of small band of emigrants, just
brought to the city by a gentleman of SHELBY
county, by whom they were manumitted, and
placed under the care OF Rev. Nh. Pnny, an agent
of the Colonization Society. Of the number,
eleven were children of one man, who was pres


ent, and appeared to be vegng to the age of three
score years and ten. This patriarch was not OF
the number manumitted; he belonged to another
estate, bat had permission to accompany his W life


and children to this city, and here bid them fl
nal adieu. When this fact was announced, with
an emotion that almost choked the utterance OF
the speaker, there was that long drawing in OF
the breath by every listener, which indicates the
workings of the powers within. All eyes were
directed toward the object of SO much sympathy;
and when it was farther stated, that the owner OF
the old man Reuben, (or so 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 shaube free! On the instant
the table of the Moderator was thronged, and
the requisite sum laid upon it to reunite for the
remnant of their days old man Reuben and his
wife; and they and their children are now on
their way to the shores of Africa. Louis. Cour.
