We have received the following interesting account of the origin and design of the Liberian Society, mentioned in the ab

s ract.

This little association was formed in the month of October last, for the sole purpose of aiding, as far as such small means could do so, the highly benevolent views of the Colonization Society. It consists entirely of ladies,-principally of the family of Mrs. James M. Garnett; and includes the greater part of her pupils. Several neighbouring ladies however, have become members; and such is the popularity of the object, that it is confidently believed every one in the county would do so, if it were practicable to attend the meetings. These take place every Saturday; the whole of which is devoted to the making of various little articles, both for ornament and use, which excite the industry, at the same time, that they exercise the ingenuity of the fabricators. These articles are sold, and the entire proceeds are to be transmitted, from time to time, to the Colonization Society. The demand for the work of this Institution, far exceeds their present power of supplying it.
