A grand experiment was to be made at Liverpool to
transport one thousand bales of New Orleans cotton to
an c lies ter at once, by the locomotive* Sampson &iul

lauc^at the fra re house of somo “!onl of vpiiinini' jen
tues in .Manchester—and returning, lie plimgod again
"•to the water, to carry to Orleans a cargo Of Manchester
goods! But the present rail way, perhaps, though power
lor the operation is at command, may not bo lilted for
such transport ol ships!

Several gentlemen addressed the company, and, in the
course of his remaiks on the occasion, Mr. Clay “can
didly acknowledged, that the doubts and mi-givings
which he once entertained, had been removed by the
favorable exposition of the prospects ol the company,
and the zeal manifested in favor of tho work. In his
absence, his friends had subscribed for him a larger
sum to the stock ot the company, than he thought lie
could convcn’ently spare; but he had become satisfied
that the experiment ought to ho made, and that the bc
nelits likely to result from the completion of the road
had not been exaggerated. IIo now (h tight that a sum
sufficient could he obtained; and lie had determined to
stand by his friends, and ratify what they had pledged
his name for during ills ab.-ence.”

$25,000 to (lie 8'ock of the company.

1 ho following correspondence will chow the result
of iho measures adopted hy tho citizens of Mobile, in
relation to tho claims of tho late President Monroe, a
Kaii>»t the Coverniuent of tho United States. The n
iiioiint ot those claims, it will bo recollected, was about
sixty-eight thousand dollars. Tho act of the last session
appropriated thirty thousand dollars towards their liqui
dation. As the sum appropriated was iiisullicient to re
lieve this luithful public servant from debt, and as there
appeared no prospect that Congress would afford him
any further relief, the plan of raising tho balance by
individual coutribu'ion was projected. How it may suc
ceed tiino will determine. This c ty and New Of leans,
wo are proud to say, have fell tho appeal, and have set
a noble example. If New-York, Huston, Philadelphia
and other large cities of tho Union, second our exertions,
and do as wo have done, a reproach will bo taken from
the nation, and the old age ol one of its most faithful and
honored benefactors redeemed from tho thraldom of pe
cuniary embarrassment:

movements of Congress in relation to your claims against

which they doubt not will be M owed throughout tho
country, of contributing individually to tho extinguish
ment of a debt which strict justice, as well as honor and
gratitude, requires them to discharge The enclosed
check is for iho amount collected in a few hours Irom
