It has been said that llns was the countrv of these colored persons, and that they should not be sent to Africa. The same might be said of the Israelites in Egypt and in the Wilderness, but Canaan was their promtsea lana. bo was Liberia now to the colored population of the United States. Those who had established this society foresaw that good was to result from it, and had not been disappointed.

The adyan-tages to religion, morality, and the promotion of civilization, resulting from the labors of the society, were pointed out, and their progress in Liberia fully described by the eloquent speaker. The practicability of transporting all the black population of this country to Liberia was asserted, and Africa presents to them the most inviting home. The emigration into New York, of foreigners annually, he asserted, was equal to the increase of the black population ef this country. All great enterprises have had a small beginning, and he felt satisfied that the future had great results in store for the labors of the Association. After describing the progress of the Colony during the last quarter of a century, he closed wilh a few highly appropriate and eloquent remarks.

At the ur gent solicitation of the Society, he had thrown together a few hasty remarks to gratify the wishes of those who had flocked to the hall in such numbers, for whose attention he returned his sincere thanks. The old officers of the Society were then all re elected, and after some unimportant business was transacted, the meeting adjourned. H. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Philadelphia, Jan.

The dispatch of business was continued briskly in this court yesterday. At the commenc-ment of lite sitting the Attorney General rose and re marked that he had understood it was the purpose of uie cousei oi nicnaruj. mmer to traverse tiie indictment now pending against him for conspiracy; and therefore Mr. Richardson proposed to renew his motion for a change of venue. Mr.

Nelson was present, and stated that he should oppose the motion, and expressed a wish to argue it before a full court, his Honor, Judge Brice, being absent from the bench. The argument was accordingly postponed until to-day. John Brown, colored, was tried for stealing a coffee pot from the front of the slore of Mr. John Rodgers, in Harrison street. Guilty.

Guilty. Penitentiary till the 20lh August, 1851.

Samuel West, indicted for stealing a frock coat, the property of Mr. Sudler, was put in the bar. The prisoner, it seems, took the coat to a man named Raabe, from whom he received two dollars on it in pledge. In a day or two afterwards, Sudler charged West with having stolen it; he denied it, but said he would go out and look for it; in about two hours he returned and sid he had discovered it, and took Sudler with him to Roabe's house. Here the coat was pioduced and $2 75 demanded on it by Roabe, who at the same time stated that he had received it from a man with black whiskers.

Sudler at once exclaimed that he would not pay a ceat on the coat, and then Roabe asserted that West was the man who had brought it there: and West immediately ran out. Roabe testified that West was very drunk when he brought it there, and that he gave him S2 on the coat to get rid of him. He came on Monday and asked Roabe to say, if he brought any one there, that a mai wilh black whiskers sold the coat. Roabe accordingly said this, but on Sudler's refusing to pay the money on the coat, Roabe charged West as the person who had brought it, and he immediately fled. The case was given to the jury and they retired to their room with instructions to seal their verdict if they should agree.

The telegraph yesterday announced that the steamer Cambria was below at New York, with fifteen days' later intelligence from Liverpool, and shortly after the wires between Philadelphia and New York wera broken.

At 10 o'clock last night on the arrival of the pilot line from New York at Philadelphia, we learned by telegraph that the announcement was incorrect that the steamer telegraphed below proved to be the French steamer Missouri, with several davs later intelligence. A dis patch by telegraph in another column gives the news by her. Favin of Centre Street. We have lately received divers complaints, both verbal and written relative to the present state of Centre street, between Calvert and North streets. Most of these complaint refer to the 'Baltimore "Water Company," who own the property on both sides of the street in question.

One of our correspondents, in alluding to this sub-, ject, says: I feel sure that if the intelligent gentlemen of the Board of the Water Companv were fully aware of the anuoyance the state of this part of their property gives to a lanre body of citizens, their well known desire to oblige ali to sav nothing of their own manifest interest in bringing their properly into notice-would induce them promptly to take measures to have the street graded and paved." This, wc presume, is a correct view of the case; and the late action of the Water Company, in making an arrangement with Messrs. Denmead for constructing a tunnel from the corner of North and Madison streets to their new mill, the company paying the additional expense, by which the whole of their property below Madison street is relieved froi: the inconvenience of the mill race passing through it, would go to show that the Water Company are contemplating the speedy improvement of this property by putting it in a proper situation to be leased for building lots; and we hope, ere long, not only to see Centre street paved in this portion, but that Monument street will likewise be graded and paved. The new iron bridge on this street being rapidly approaching completion, and the very many other extensive improvements in the neighborhood, would seem to warrant the presumption. While upon this subject, a suggestion presents itself to our mind, which we would recommend to the consideration of our City Council. At their last session, some action was had and a committee of inquiry raised, relative to the expediency of "constructing a culvert along the bed of Centre street into Jones' Falls." As the "old City Mills" have ceased grinding, and the culvert forming the "tail-race" running into the Falls will henceforth be useless, except for this purpose, might not the right of joining the Centre street culvert to the old tail-race, be obtained of the Water Company, and the expense of a tunnel, from Calvert street to the Falls, saved to the city The company weuld certainly not charge much, for what is entirely useless to them, especially in view of the benefit this work would be to their propettv.

The great damage done in this neighborhood a year ago last summer, by the freshet, admonishes us of the necessity fot an outlet for the immense quantity of water passing down this street in times of heavy rains; and we have no doubt but that our "city fathers" will take the matter into early consideration. The Mosey Market. The stock market in all the principal cities, just now, is gradually sinking prices fall a fraction almost every day. Money is in great demand, as the banks continue a steady contraction of their circulation. The free banks of New York, it is said, are daily carrying in their notes to the Controller, and taking up the securities on which they are based.

For some lime past, the amount of currency thus cancelled, it is said, has equaled fifty thousand dollars per day. The other banks of New York, and, jri fact, all over the country, are probably reducing their liabilities in the same ratio, but, from the fact that their operations are less public, the fact is not so positively known. Bill for Taxing State Officers. The following bill for the taxing of the commissions of certain State officers, has been introduced in the House of Delegates by Mr. Donaldson, of Anne Arundel county: Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That from and after the passage of 'this acr.

Fisances of Pennsylvania. The report of Mr Rinks, the State Treasurer, exhibits a flattering pic ture of the finances of Pennsylvania.

He estimates the receipts of the present fiscil year, as follows: Receipts from all sources, $3,921, 900 00 alance in the treasury on me 1st ot December, IH7, exclusive of the unavailable deposit in the United States Bank, 650,896 Total amount, Eestimated expenditures, 4.602,790 85 3.576,390 00 Estimated balance in the Treasury on the 1st of December, 1848, 1,026,400 go The total funded debt of the Commonwealth is JO.JO,325.

From the appearance of the disease up to the 22d November, the total number of persons attacked at Moscow was 2.300, of whom 1,097 died. In the districts of the government of Moscow 1U individuals fell ill, of whom 59 died. At Kieff from the 9th to the 16th November, there were 179 cases, and 129 deaths. In the province of Kieff, up to the 13th November, 93 persons died out of 139 attacked.

With the cold season, and the extension of the malady towards the west, the disease had lost a great deal of its energy. It was, intact, declining everywhere, exwpt iu the government of Pultowa and Pchernigoff, where it appeared to increase. The places newlv invaded by the cholera are Mohiieff on the Duiper; Kherson, on the Black sen-Vologda and Tyer, on the road from Moscow to St! Petersburg; but in those places it is of a mild character. The Pea-Patch Case. Correction.

In our paper of Saturday last, ihere was an error in regard to the award in the matter of the Pea-Patch island, which we take occasion to correct. The decision was in favor of the title of the United States, and therefore in favor of the title of the State of Delaware not against that Slate. Delaware gave her title to ihe United States; and the arbitrator, in a niort able and elaborate opinion, decided that title to be good. He decided agsinst tbe claim of Mr. Humphreys, holdm under the title of the State of New Jersey.

We erred also in statins; that H. D. Gilpin, esq was as-s-ciated with Mr. Clayton as counsel for Ihe United States. James A.

Bayard, was the colleague of Mr. Clayton, and ably discharged his duty iu the argument of the case. Washington Union.

About 25 years ago I dislocated my ancle, which accident caused me great suffering. Callouses were formed on ihe limb, and the physicians were unable to set it for two years, during which time 1 was entirely unable to walk. The injury, together with the confinement, brought on nervous derangement of the whole system, which was accompanied with severe dyspepsia. Almost everything was tried which physicians couM suggest, but without success, until the application of your galvanic articles 1 used the Galvanic Belt, Band round the ancles, applying the Magnetic Flvi as directed. In a very few days after the use of thesi articles the ancle gradually recovered; very soon tha dyspepsia entirely vanished and ray digestive power are now as good as they ever were.

I. have quite gained the flesh I had lost by the continued use of Graham bread and various nostrums, and consider my health entirely restored in every respect. JOHN HEGEMAN. 254 East Twenty-fifth street. And Policeman of the 18th ward of New York.

The order further says that all Mexicans who coun tenance guerillas in any way, or tail to give no-tice of their whereabouts, if known, or pay tribute to them, shall be punished with severity. The brig P. Soule, arrived at New Orleans on tne 11th inst. from Havana, bringing dates to ihe 30th utt.

The news by her, however, is unimportant. The ship Cybel also arrived at New Orleans, on the 11th from Vera Cruz. A train was about leaving Vera Cruz for the capital. The Cybel brings dates from the city of Mexico to the 20th two days later than previous advices. General Cushing's brigade had marched from the capital with five pieces of artillery and eighty wagons, supposed to be for San Angel.

The steamer Missouri was telegraphed as below at New York at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, but was s-ipposed to bethe steamer Cambria and a telegraphic dispatch to that effect was sent to Baltimore. Before the mistake was discovered that is to say, before she arrived within sight, the telegraph wires between Philadelphia and New York were broken, consequently no further intelligence was received until the arrival of the Pilot lane at Philadelphia, at 10 o'clock last night, when we received intelligence that it was the Missouri, and not the Cambria. At 11 o'clock the following dispatch was forwarded to us by our attentive correspondent at Philadelphia: Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.l Philadelphia, Jan. 13 11 P.

M. The Pilot line brings us intelligence of the arrival of the French steamer Missouri, from Havre, from which ports she sailed on the 21lh of December, and has consequently had a passage of twenty-four days. She was compelled, as is usual with the French steamers, to put into Halifax for a fresh supply of coal, which considerably detained her. She brings the London Times of December tK), being but one day later than that brought by the Washington, and Havre papers to the 23d, five days later than had been received before. There is no intelligence of a political or general character in the papers brought by her worth sending you.

M. Meeting of the Colonization Society. The Capitol Thronged Ladies Fainting Entrance of Mr. ay Enthusiastic Reception Report of the SocietySpeech by Mr. Clay, ire.

At five o'clock this evening Hie avenue was crowc" ed with pedestrians, male and female, all throngim to the Capitol to attend the meeting of the Colonization Society, to be held in the hall of the House, and ever which the Hon. Henry Clay was announced to preside. At six o'clock the grounds around the Capitol were literally filled, and when the doora were opened, at half-past six o'clock, the rush was tre mendous to obtain an entrance into the galleries. Such a crowd has not been witnessed at the Capitol for many years, nd not one-half that were present eiuld force themselves into the Hall, which was soon crowded to overflow in every part. Several ladies were so overcome by the pressure of the crowd that they fainted, and I have no doubt that some of them were seriously injured.

At a qnarter of seven o'clock, Mr. Clay entered and took his seat, amid tremendous cheering for Harry of the West, who may truly bcsaid to be the general favorite of the people of the District of At seven o'clock, the meeting was called to order by the distsnguished President, Mr. Clay, when an eloquent prayer was offered to the Throne of Grace by the Rev. Mr. McLnne.

The Secretary then commenced to read the annual report of tbe Association, enumerating the many benefits resulting from it, and the favors of Provi dence with which they had been blessed. Allusion was also made to many of its distinguished members, some of wham were gone, though some among those most distinguished were now present. Here the Secretary was interrupted by renewed cheering. The Address of Hon. Henry Clay, Mr.

Dayton addressed the meeting at considerable length, and concluded by introducing Mr. Clay to the meeting. On his introduction to the immense assemblage, Mr. Clay arose, and was received with tremendous and long continued cheering, which was heard in the city some distance from the Capitol. He addressed the meeting in a speech of nearly an hour's length, being frequently interrupted oy appiausc.

Mr. Clav commenced by a reference to his lone journey, and said that those who had come with the expectation oi nearing an eiaooraie anu prepared address, might have saved themselves the trouble and inconvenience of assembling in such great number. It was thirty-one years since he had attended the first meeting of the society, and hc was gratified to observe the prosperity which had crowned its labors during that period. He proceeded to point out the objects of the society and to describe the success which had crowned its labors. They designed merely the establishment of a Colony, to which free persons of color could go at their own free volition It was not intended to interfere at all with the rights ot the slaveholders.

They acted upon the fact which was daily becoming more npparcnt, that whites and blacks could not live together in a state of equality, and their object wag to send them where they could enjoy the social and political privileges which we enjoy and which we were desirous should be extended to every free man, white or black, capable of properly appreciating them. Those who chose to avail themselves of the opportunity, Ht their own pleasure, to colonize in Africa, the land of their forefathers, and demonstrate to the world the practicability of emancipating the whole black population of the country, without interfering with the institution of slavery, had been assisted in doin bv the Association.
