From Liberia. The Golconda, the vessel which, it will be remembered, took a number of emigrants from this city, to Liberia, has arrived in Baltimore, making her passage from Monrovia in the short space of forty days. The Sun, noticing her arrival, says:

The general news by the Golconda is unimportant. Trade was not very brisk on the coast, as the oil season had not commenced. The people were generally thriving, especially the farmers. The emigrants by the Golconda, from Charleston, were very much pleased with the appearance of the country, and have written encouragingly to their friends. President Warner writes to Dr. Hall that he had just returned from a survey of the "old fields" through which they are desirous of having a canal cut, connecting the Mesurado and Junk Rivers. If this is effected, it will bring Montserado and Grand Bassa Counties very near each other inland. The distance across the "old field" is three and a quarter miles. President Warner writes that there are yet along our coast some disturbances among the natives, affecting very injuriously our oil trade. A gun-boat would effectually quell this, if we had one.

The Golconda is expected to sail from this port about the 20th instant for Liberia, via Charleston, S. C. She is an elegant ship of 1,000 tons, purchased in Boston, to take the place of the Mary Caroline Stevens, which was sold during the late war, in consequence of the trade with Liberia being entirely stopped. The former ship was built out of the fund donated by the late Mr. Stevens, of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in his will, and it is understood that measures are being taken to have the Golconda's name changed to that of Mary Caroline Stevens.
