large sums of money for the Institution, before the next

They arc extensive—picturesque; being u-

i'aps the most suitable fur the purposes of such an inmi-
t n ion, that we have aver had the pleasure of seeing.
7.-he arrangements fur the entertainments were on the
iost liberal and elegant scale—the long range of tables

,stefully displayed, and the many distinguished suppor-
t rs of the sehools, accompanied by their ladies and
f,--iends, presented a lively and gratifying appearance.

ARRIVALS or GRAlN.—Upwards of 8,000 quarters
of grain arrived at this port last week, at two successive
tides. One beautiful brig, the Warrior, of Montrose, has
2,000 quarters. Those cargoes are all from foreign ports,
and we hear that much more is on the way. From the
pre-occupied state of our numerous granaries, no stowage
could be obtained, and in the meantime the vessels in
wllich freights came had to be detained for want of
bI tter accommodation. This does not bear out the asser-
lien of famine abroad with which interested parties
alarmed us so much throughout the winter and spring.__
