HON N : WILLIA PITT, to February 1793. • By GEORGE TOVILINE, D. D., Bishop . of ,Wincbester: Printed for JoHN MURRAY, Albemarle Street. • TO THE .EDITOR OF.THE ALBANY ARGUS. • Sin—ln an able and• luminous article upon " University Education," which appeared in the twenty-sixth ritunber of " The North American Review," there 'are some erroneousund imperfect statements in regard to the public patronage oflitera ture amongst us, which; .as they affect the character of this state, and detract from the general accuracy of a work fast ris ing into just celebrity, cannot too promptly be corrected. The 'reviewer states, on the authority of an official report of the "•Trustees of the Literary fund of Virginia," that the prin cipal of that fund amounted, On the Ist of December, 1818, to D. 114,159 ; and that its annual income, when increased by the payment of certain items still to be added, will probably amount to D. 90,000. Upon this he remarks, that " nothing in the United. States, except a. similar fund in Connecticut, which amounts to between thirteen or (and) fourteen thousand dollars, can be compared to this splendid dotation of litera ture." * And he afterwards observes incidentally, that " New York has liberally endowed Hamilton College,"l- as if the bounty of this state had been confined to one of the youngest of her literary institutions, and as if no.permanent appropriations I had been made by our legislature for the encouragement of li terature; or for the maintenance of public education. Had it been convenient, however, for the' learned author of the article.in question, when he thought proper to illustrate his position by a particular instance in this state, to have referred to our statute book, he would have found that there were many - other of oar seminaries of learning which had been thought serving of the fo,tering protection of the Government; and that, in the appropriation of permanent funds for the great purposes of education and science, as well as in occasional do nations to 'particular" institutions, the beneficence of New York would not have suffered from a comparison with that of the most liberal of her sistr; states. 2d At the same time a pant of Money to be distri. buted between Columbia College and the Acade mies, was made amounting to - - 3d In 1792, the sum of D 3250, annually for five years, to be' distributed amongst the Academies This Dty wa; published, lu Quarto, with Fourteen Plates,. engraved by CHANCES HEATH, price 21.

THE LAW'S DELAY- We find the following curious statement re secting the administration Of justice in the State of New York, in an Albany Paper of the 9th instant. The " Law's delays," it seems, are com mon to every country ALBANY, FEB. 8, 1821.—A writer in " The American " says—" The following facts, drawn from authentic sources, will prove the indispensable necessity of a scheme like the one pro posed by the Bill introduced by Mr. Skinner, or some other, to remedy that delay, which has at length almost amounted to a denial of justice" : ' At the last August Term of the Supreme Court, held at Al. bany, the causes ordered were - - 399 Of which were argued, • - - • . 62 Leaving undisposedlif by the Court, - . 337 Nine days, of this _'Term of twenty-one days, were consumed in non-enumerated bUsiness. At the last October Term, held at Utica, causes no iced, - - . . - - - 264 Of which were argued - - . - - 69 Leaving undisposed of - . - 195 This delay is common to the whole State, except this City, where the peace of justice is so sluggish that she may be said as well to have leaden feet as sightless eyes. At the last Sittings there were noticed for trial, Causes - - 488 Of which were tried - - 48 Disposed of Inquest and otherwise - 80 Settled by the parties - - - 14-143 Leaving at issue causes to be tried - 306 " Thus it would appear that a suit commenced on the Ist of June, with the utmost diligence on both sides, might be tried in two years, or 30 months, and should there be questions re served (as in most litigated cases of importance there are) for the decision of all the Judges, it might by possibilit - y-be deter mined, and the money collected, it by. time and chanct any thing remained to the unfortunate debtor, in four years."

A great quantity was fetched and sold, though at rather reduced prices. • We are glad to•state that the clothiers - w:ho attend this market, and ,the shops of the place, received on that day mac money for articles sold than has been known to .be received for several years past. Besides the reservation of two lots of, six hundred and forty acres each for the-general support of the gospel and of schools and literature,•in every township of the fertile and extensive tract of land set apart as a bounty to the officers and soldiers ofthe revolu tion, two distinct and separate permanent funds have been estab blishedeand for ever set apart by the legislature--one for the support of "common schools" throughout the state, and the other for the endowment and maint e n ance of colleges and aca demies, under the direction of the "regents of the university." A statement of.the :particular items of which each of these funds is at present composed, and of the revenues derived from them, as well as of temporary grants made for literary pur poseS, I beg leave to idbjoin ; in the hope of its attracting the attention of the Editor of the North American Review, and obtaining from his 'candor an early insertion in the miscellaneous department of that valua t ble journal.

In addition to which the,net proceeds of all lands which may escheat to the_ state in the. ilitary tract, are appropriated to this fund .; and it is' - supposed that a very-considerable increase will be acquired form thi§ source, though np estimate of the amount can at present be made. Total amount of fund D. 1,229,076 The Revenue of the School Fund for the last year, was estimated as follows : Interest of loan of 1792 - • - - - 32,400 Ditto on loan of:1808 26,944 Probable net proceeds of Clerks Fees in Supreme Court ; - - - - 7,000 Dividend on Merchants' Bank shares' . 12,600 Total revenue - D 78,944 But an Act passed in 1819, ditects.the payment and distri bution, for the present year, of 80,000 dollars, and annually thereafter. not I.;ss than that sum, until the revenue of the school fund amount to 90,000 dollars. A sum equal to the di. vidend upon .the fund must be raised annually in the several counties in proportion to;the sums received by them respectively upon the distribution. ,§o; that for this year the sum of 180,000 dollars will be raisd and distributed amongst the coin mon Schools 'established'in- convenient districts of every town imthe state. A: particular additional fund, applicable to the same object, has arisen froin a grant of certain lots in the village of Lewis ton, for the support Of col-Amon schools therein, and may be stated as follows : • 1.

Court . of Chancery ; he was very intimate with Mr. Pitt on the 'Western. Circuit, and afterwards, till they were separated in difference of political opinions:—" Among lively men of his own time of life, Mr. Pitt was always the.most lively and con vivial in the many hours of leisure which, occur to young un— occupied men on a circuit, and joinedali the little excursions to Southampton, Weymouth; and such parties olsonusemot . as were habitually formed. He was extremely popular. gi3 name and reputation of high acquirements at. the Pniver.sity, commanded the attention ofhis Seniors. Hiswit,his good humour, - and joyous manners, endeared him to the younger pan of. - ..the: bar. In some bribery causes from Cricklade, he was retained as junior counsel ; but even in that subordinate nharatter; he had an opportunity of arguing a point of evidence with extra ordinary ability. I remember also, in an action of - Ciiin-con. at Exeter, as junior counsel, he mainifested such talenti in cross-examination, that it was the universal opinion of the -bar, that he should have led the cause. During his sTiort stay in the profession, he never had occasion to address a Jury ; but up s on a motion in the Court of King's Bencholor an Habeas Corpus to bring up a man to be bailed, who was charged '.with murder, Mr. Pitt made a speech which excited the achniration of the bar, and drew down very complimentary approbation from Lord Mansfield. When he first made his hrilliant.dis... play in Parliament, those at the bar who had seen little of him, expressed surprise ; but a few who had once heard him speak in a sort of mock debate at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, when a club, called the Western Circuit Club, was dissolvdd, agreed, that he had then displayed all the various species of eloquence, for which he was afterwards celebrated. Before he distinguished himself in the House of Commons, he certainly looked seriously to the law as a profession. The late Mr. . tice Rooke told me, that Mr. Pitt dangled seven days with a junior brief, and, a single guinea fee, waiting till a cause of no sort of importance should ~come on in the Court' of Common Pleas. At Mr. Pitt's instance, an annual dinner took place for some years at Richmond Hill, the party consis!- ing of Lord Erskine, Lord Redesdale, Sir William Grant, Mr. Bond, Mr. Ley tester, Mr. Jekyll, and others ; and I Well re member a dinner with Mr. Pitt, and several of his private friends, at the Boar's Head in East Cheap, in celebration of Shakspeare's Falstaff. We were all in high spirits, quoting and alluding to Shakspeare the whole day ; and it appeared, that Mr. Pitt was as well and, familiarly read in the Port's works as the best Shaksperiaiis present. But ,to speak s conviviality is needless. After he was Minister, he could eon., tinue to ask his old intimates to dine with him, and his manners were unaltered-7 THE ARMY.
