A Schooner Wrecked. Sydney, July 10.
The schooner Sopia, for the South Sea Islands, went ashore at the Heads this morning before daylight. All hands were saved from the wreck.
It is now six years since the Free Church of Scotland set about establishing the Livingstonia Mission Settlement in Eastern Africa, as a memorial of Dr. Livingstone. A sum of £21,000 has been expended, and not only has the Gospel been preached to the natives on the shores of Lake Nyassa, bat an effectual check has been put upon the alave trade. Formerly as many as 19,000~ slaves were annually carried off from this region, ■ ! Examples of the work of Constable, Mulready,* Morland, Opie, and VSn? William Beechey have recently been added to the liouvre. /
