MISCELLANEOUS . Slave-Trad e * We observe with pleasure that the Society of Friends continue tfygir attention to the Slave-trade . It appears from a " Report of the Committee of the Meeting for Sufferings appointed to aid in
promoting the Total Abolition of the Slave-trade /* ( May 7 , 1824 , ) that several pamphlets have been published , calling the attention of the community to this interesting subject . The * ' Case of the Vigilante , " with a drawing of the
vessel , has been printed at Paris , and paid for by this Committee : it has been circulated in various parts of France . The Committee is now printing a fresh pamphlet , entitled " Statements illustrative of the Nature of the Slave-Trade : to
which are subjoined , some Particulars respecting the Colony at Sierrq . Leone ;" of which it is intended immediately to procure and publish a French translation , with a view to its extensive circulation abroad .
A plate of a Spanish vessel , the " Josefa Maracoyera , " kindly forwarded for their use by Sir Charles McCarthy , has been struck pff , as exhibiting fresh proof of the horrors of the middle passage , and distributed amongst the Society of Friends in the country and elsewhere . The following particulars are extracted

lie between the Rio Grande and Cape Roxo ; but we have eyery reason to believe , from what we have heard , that it has not diminished in the smallest degree . We are aware that the Slave-trade at Bissao and the adjacent Portuguese settlements has gone on increasing . *
** We have much pleasure in stating , that , from the influence of this colony and the Isles de Loss , that is to say , from the check their vicinity and activity give to every attempt at SJave-trading , the direct Slave-trade of the whole coast , from the Rio Nunez to Sierra Leone
inclusive , has ceased . To them it is owing that , from the numerous intermediate rivers whence more Slaves were at one time shipped than from any other equal extent of coast to windward of Cape Palmas , not one foreign vessel has made an attempt at Slaving during the last two
years : the last vestsel which did so being the Rosalia , captured by Captain Ha gen itt January , 1822 * We have , however , very distinct and positive information , that a considerable coasting Slave-trade
in canoes , and a much greater inland one , exists between the rivers PongoS , Nunez and Bissao ; whilst the river Pcmgos export Slave-trade existed from every intermediate river to this inclusive ; but we believe that , at present , with a
