A COLLIDE FOR THE FJORTEI ESTATL—We have
great !satisfaction in copying from a Northern journal
as under:—" We notice that our countryman, Mr. W.
W. Fyfe, so long known as both an author and
journalist in Scotland, is to originate in institution for
training members of the press at Dorchester. Here
Mr. F. is to have the supervision of several English
journals, and he will have all manner of facilities for
communicating instruction in all pertaining to the press,
whether mechanical, commercial, or literary. Mr. F..
too, is an able agriculturist, and has recently lectured
on that point of knowledge in the college at Ciren-
oester, Gloucester • while In addition, he has the
advantage of considerable legal skill and information.
The writings of our countryman indicate great ability—
a comprehensive grasp of information and high moral
prinoiple, as also religious and devout feelings. Young
men could not have a better trainer nor a more amiable
teacher, while his character as a man and a Christian
gives an additional guarantee for all sought after, ex-
pected. or to be held requisite. We dente to wish for
Mr. Pyle great success in his labours, sensible that he
will spare no pains to fulfitto the utmost every duty he
undertakes, if not going beyond the letter of the bond
for the advantage of his disciples."--John o'Groat's
Journal.—[lt ought to be made known that Mr. Pyle
will assume the charge of all our Journals so soon as
he has sufficiently recovered from the shook to which he
has so undeservedly been subjected.]

in the Market-house for sale by auction in the afternoon.
