I do not; inlleed, consider the first eeeperite of the buildings to be so much an object of calculatioLand solicitudeaathe perpetual maintenance of the Establishment in vigour and activity ; and , • when the College shall have been completed on a liberal scale, and its objects shall be generally known and justly appreciated, donations and legacies will, wemay trust, come in .te• the aid of any fundi already possessed for its support, and enable it to become 'a seminary for Missions to every part of India. • . Illy views,. indeed, of the usefulness of the Establishm en t have not at ill contracted since I had the honour of piopesing it. In order to. its realizing these vicars, it must be capable of educating:pupds . not only from the provinces within - this 'arch deaconry, where flindoiistanee and Bengalee are the languages Used, but also in dAe time from districte while the , Taintil, _the Teloogoo, the Mahratta, the Singhalese,- andper- - hapi the Malay, and one or two others, are'repectively verna cular, that is to say, from chneet every pelt of the CoAtinent and islands of Asia subject • toer ; ritish . em.boritj . . as contem plated in the, king's Letter e . but tins will require resident Moonshees from the severaldisti. - 4* , Who siiall be ..co iapetent' • to teach their respective languages th Pngnit .11ffisiorkitie,s ing their residence in College, before they proceed to their sta tions, and also to assist the Professors in conveying instruction to pupils brought from the' same countries, as well as in mak ing translations for the use of the inhabitants; but - this sup poses buildieags..co,extensive with the - objects of the Institution ; the Moonshees must in tiine be numerous, and the students must are as .many as maybe required to keep up a supply of native4lis.sionaries, C a techi s t s , an d S c h oo l- masters f or a ll t h e statio& which we may be enabled to support. Our printing estabment must alsoe'-afref a time, he considerable, an d it tin will a very ineportant department of our labours. A dif ficult', indeed, is *'fumes found in the w a nt of p ro p er chan nels for the diStribution of what is printed; but in this respect • we shall possess pre-emin e nt advantages; indep . endently - of our Missionaries, &c. we may look to the co-operation of the Dis triet Committees of the Society for promoting Christian Know- , ledge, established at the three Presidencies, and at Colombo,. and more recently at Prince of IVales'S Island, in the Straits ,of Malacca, so that every part of India, and the Islands, is within the sphere'xic their agency ; and:in co-operating with the College in . the distribution of works issuing from its press, they would materially increase their own efficiency ; an appli cation-from the Bombay Committee .to the Society has actual ly been made, in reference' to the -exteediency of _printing books in the native. languages:.,'*4The -.several; Committees might have Oriented publications from he Oollege on reduced terms, in -the - same ltianner' that they titarchase English books .and . tracts • from the Society in . • I;ondon: ' The Com m itt ees 'would thus be subsidi a ry to the College, and the CoI - :lege to the 'Committees. The expenditure in the printing department would thus also be li g ht ene d, an d it might perhaps be even further reduced by taking in printing, for which. th e !!CtiStornary price would be paid ; considerable - thuds will obvi ously be requisite for carrying on such extensive op era t ions ; .but when - it is seen that funds alone are wanting to give life 'and energy in all its parts to a comprehensive system, of which, however; the objects, and bearings, and mutual dependen c y, are easily understood, I sho u ld hope that public patronage would be granted to the full extent required. It is my purpose, with the blessing of God, to commence the building as soon as possible.; and although a considerable pe riod, perhaps a year and a half, must elapse before the fabric can be Completed, I would be permitted to observe, that it is of the highest importance that :no time be lost in selecting and sending out fit persons 'to act as Prefessors ; and I win add, that even should two of thein be already on their passage, they will not arrive too soon. Even then, the College will be ready to receive Students quite as soon as the Professors shall be com petently acquainted with .the native languages more inirne . diately in use, and at all at . leisure to attend to the instruction of their pupils. And with .tespeet to the third Professor, though the business. of the College may begin before his arrival; be 'will be dbvilately .recir e lf.qc before it can be carried on to any great extent.- On this part, indeed, of the plan, f may not have been sufficiently explicit; and it may be thought that three Clergymen - can hardly be requisite for the instruction of ten, or even thirty pupils, if that nuniher shall ever be required. not, • however, merely in th e instruc tion of - Pupils.that the employment of the Professors w ill con sist, thou g h even this will make it necessary that one or other of the three shall possess some acquaintance with every language used in the College; but the Pia , fessors will further be called upon to give much of their time to the business of trans lations, and the Senior will be much occupied in correspond- ence with the Missionaries, in receiving their reports, and in arranging the details for transmission to England ; besides that all of them would probably be required to give some attention to the preSs in • thoSe languages in which they were conversant, even though an intelligent superintendent had the general ma nagement of the whole. Upon the selection of the Professors, .I have nothing toadd to the remarks offered in my former let ter ; it is only to repeat, in substance, what I then subthitted to the Society, to observe, that upon the ability, the zeal, and the piety of these persons, every thing, under Providence, will depend. It is indeed, desirable they they should be academical men, if any so qualified c a n b e f oun d f or t h e appo i ntments. I t would be necessary to defray their passage to this place, and somewhat should be allowed thetain advance of their salaries ; they would also require an allowance for house-rent' till their houses in College were fit for their reception, and it would be proper that I should have noti c e o f t h e i r expecte d arr i va l .. I am looking with much interest for the further communica tion promised me in your letter of the 22d May. IRELAND. . Mr. BULLOCK has succeeded in bringing spe eimehs of the Remn-deer to . this country, which ; may perhaps lead to the Colonization of our mountain forests with this 'interesting animal.- -;o,rhile on a tour in Norway he procured a herd [ of twenty, the whole of which were killed by eating'a poisonous plant . that grew upon a small island, on which they were placed for security, previous to embarkation. He, however, was not to be driven from his' object. He once more : went into - the interior and brought another herd, twelve in number ; •these he net only succeeded • rin embarking in safety,' but in bringing them alive and well to the Thames. Before relating • the mishaps which befel them here, we - may oh serve •on -the 'extraordinary sagacity' they dis , played in travelling. They were completely under the command of : a leader or captain,.who • not only headed their march, •but seemed upon every difficulty to issue' his orders, which were promptly and implicitly obeyed. This was most remarkable, when they came to the boat for em barkation : a new situation required a stronger exercise of instinct, approaching to reason,' and of courage, than had previously been called forth. The herdsman, a Norwegian, got into the boat, and invited the,captain of the deer to fol low him : generally obedient to' his wishes the noble animal apprciached and put his foot from 'the pier into the NesSel. It-was the first unsteady ground be - had ever trod,aud he recoiled in alarm. . Fresh invitations and fresh investigations of the' boat ensued, the whole herd looking on and watching these to them, as well as to the human spectators, interesting, proceedings. At last the captain felt assured; be entered' the boat, and he trod upon and examined every : plank. When fully satisfied', he uttered a kind of snort, and in three minutes the hitherto 'pas sive herd had bounded into and filled the libat. Nor was this all the wonderful display Of animal intelligence : the vessel was overloaded ; and, as he had intimated other things, he also intimated this to his followers. If the fact were not well attested, we could hardly credit it : but no sooner was this done, than the individual deer he appeared to address leaped into another boat. —On arriving in the Thames, it unluckily hap pened that the Custom-house officer at Graves end did not feel himself authorised to allow the deer to be landed before application could be madelo the proper Authorities in London, and the majority of the poor herd fell victims to their confinement on ship-board. They began to die very fast, and eight of the twelve deer were thus destroyed. The remnant saved consists of a male and female, a fawn (since dead), and a male, which has been cut. The latter is the captain, and the largest of the animals, being about ten hands high, and proportionally stout. The others are a Land or two lower ; their far is astonishingly thick, very tine, and deli cately soft and warm. The horns branch in a. shigtilar and beautiful manner, and are en tirely covered with a short fur. Those of the female form almost a perfect coronet, above a foot in height, and her head is of the most ele gant shape ; the captain's antlers are three feet in length,—on one side branching from a single root, and on the other having two branches bend ing forwards over the nose, issuing from the head with the main branch : the fawn has only two short protuberances. Their hoofs are very broad and - flexible between'the diviSions: This enables them to clamber up precipices and hang on rocks inaccessible to all other animals. Their speed' is prodigious : they 'seem to be reconciled to hay as food, like brandy which is administered as a medicine. Along with the deer, Mr. B. has brought a native Laplander, his wife, and child. These beings are about 4 feet 8 inches in height, the man being of the common size, the woman rather tall. The child is a curiosity in its way, and about five years old.

Lamb and itatTi, Pri_i,e,c'-trreet, by the Bank, where a plan of the may ue sceu. 16th instant, of your letter of the 22d May last, in Which you convey to my the rlnvzh ' itians.,6l the Society upon the subject of my letter of the 16th November, 1818; and while I admit the satisfaction which I have derived on public groiinds, from the ready adoption of a plan, which being framed with a view to the advancement of true religion, will, it is hoped, have the blessing of God, I am bound, in justice to my personal feelings, to acknowledge the high honour conferred upon me by the So ciety's unequivocal expression of their favourable opinion and confidence ; it is also highly gratifying to me to learn from an other quarter, that the Society for Promoting Christian Know ledge, to whom, in conformity with your second resolution, the plan was submitted, have as cordially approved it, and voted, in like manner, £5OOO in furtherance of the object. • I have now the pleasure to acquaint you, for the information of the Society, that through the favour and distinguished liberality of his Excellency the Marquess of Hastings, I have obtained from the Supreme Government, a piece of land as a site, which; in reference to the purpose contemplated, is.nat sur passed by any other whatever; in truth, it is the spot to which my attention was strongly directed before I had ventured to indulge the hope of obtaining it ; the papers inclosed will convey to you some idea of its locality and form ; it has not yet been accii zately surveyed, but it will be found, I believe,.to contain about twenty English acres ; its distance from Calcutta is hardly three miles, and yet, by being on the opposite side of the river, which is much wider than the Thames at Westminster, but without any bridge, the College will afford to the Students all the privacy and retirement which can be desired; at the same time it will be aconspicuous object, presenting, itself to the no tice of our countrymen on their first approach to this capital. I have every reason to hope that the situation will be' found healthy ; that side of the river is generally preferred, and you will observe that the College grounds will be open to the south, the river in that reach lying nearly east and west. The benefit of this position will be evident, when it is recollected, that dur ing the hot season, from March to September or October, the wind blows - constantly from the southward. Close adjoining to the westward,ia. the Honourable Company's botanic garden, and to its beautiful and aleitly walks on the banks of the river the Professors will, no doubt, have free access, with the further advantage, in case of sudden illness, of medical aid close at ' hand, in the superintendant of the garden ; nor is it, perhaps, to be altogether disregarded in an Establishment of this sort, that the scenery is such:as to gratify and soothe the mind ; di rectly. in front of the College will be a fine expanse of water, on which vessels are continually passing to or from Calcutta, and on the opposite bank is the line of villas which adorn the garden reach. .The ground slopes gently on b o th sides of the piece of water, which is laid down on the eastern side of the plan ; and this water, while it will be ornamental, will serve also as a drain; and it can never stagnate, as it communicates with the river by a sluice, so as to receive a fresh supply at every influx of the tide. It may also be expected that the College Chapel will afford an opportunity of attending the service of the Church to several of the residents on that side of the water, who are at present pre cluded from it by the difficulty of crossing the river; they will still, indeed, be at some distance, but by many, it may be hoped, this will not be reg . arded. The Company's Solicitor has been with me this morning to confer with me on the sub ject of the conveyance ; a grant of the land either directly to the Society, or to myself as their trustee, as may be found mo s t advisable will be completed without delay, and a counterpar t shall be forwarded by the first opportunity. But while I congratulate the Society on this highly prospe rous commencement, I must infbrm you, that the sum which I mentioned in my letter of the 16th of November, 1818, as pro bably sufficient for the erection of the College, is found, on in euiry; which I could not so properly make a t that p er i o d, to be inadequate, although I am not yet enabled to state precisely what will be required ; I haVe, however, requested an eminent architect to furnishine with an estimate, and I will take case that. economy be observedao far as may be cquipatible with the ..... The person with whom I am about to contract, has the repu tation of being the ablest builder in Bengal ; and a militay' gentleman, one of the Inspectors of Goveniment Buildings, will from time to time report to me on the progress and execution of the work : greater precaution,., therefore, is not possible. The Buildings will consist of a Chapel, a Hall, and a Library, all of them 60feet in length ; and a eentral Building containing stair cases, the whole measuring iv; l'ect, and forming the main Building fronting the river: the two wings will be 150 feet each in length, and II feet deep, containing accommodation for three Professors, married ; one (newly arrived) Missionary, married ; one Missionary, unmarried ; and 20 Students ; and proportion ally more Students, if any of the Professors and all the Atis-. sionaries be single men. One or two rooms may also be ap pointed for lectures. A range of offices will be detached. The Printing -house is not included ; but it will not be immediately required ; there will be room in College to carry on the printing for a year or two probably after the College is. opened. The appearance of the whole from the river will be very striking ; and such as the first Collegiate Institution founded in this coun try ought to exhibit. It is not easy for the Society to estimate too highly, with re ference to the object, the value of the land (about 20 acres), of which the Grant is inclosed. In point of situation it is every thing that could be desired; and the builder assures me thata firmer and drier spot is no where to be met with. The Khararia mentioned in the Grant' is a quit-rent to the Government, of little amount, and certain. The clauses of resumption, the So clay will perceive to be reasonable, and necessary on the part of the Company ; 'and avy cannot operate, except in circum stances which would remitr the estate no longer of any use to the Society. I rejoice to hear that the contributions-raised by the King's Letter. have been so. considerable ; and I have no doebt.tliat, when the College is actually built and known to be in opera tion, it will find abundant support: BULLION.

A Sailor, on Sunday last, personally forbade his banns; in Plyinouth Church, having been per suaded to - engage to marry a woman when he was Lipsey. One of the invited was Lord Cloncurry : how his Lordship felt upon this occasion, the reader will perceive by the following letter addressed by him to a contemporary Journal':— "SlR—Being named as. one presentat the,Lord Mayor's din ner of yesterday, I beg leave to say (in order to prevent misre prentation of my conduct), that, when his Lordship toasted King William, I turned down my glass, and remained seated. " At table with the Lord Lieutenant and a guest of the Lord Mayor I felt that it would not be decorous for so inconsidera ble a person to take further notice at the moment ; I wish, how ever, that the Lord Mayor, when he determined to re-produce this toast, hEd given notice, not only to the Lord Lieutenant, but to the Roman Catholics whom he hid invited, and, gette rally,'to all those not likely to forget, , in one short mofith, the benevolent injunctions of our Sovereign. " Individa:,lly,lhave a great respect for the m emor y of King William the Tliird.

" Bad taste and bad feeling received a mortal wound front the hand of his Majesty—and if for one moment they may raise their heads, public opinion and the march of events must put • them down.
