HAILEYBURY COLLEGE.

As the Question of the East India College at
llalleybury is expected to come on to-morrow in
the House of Commons—it may not perhaps he
uninteresting to our Readers, to give the follow-
ing extract from the Quarterly Review of 1817
—No. 33.

' The species of education requisite for the Indian civil ser-
vice is at once determined by the nature of the qualities to be
produced. The European branch of that education ought to
comprise the several heads of classical and liberal learning; of
mathematical and philosophical science ; of civil polity and
political economy ; of the principles of ethics, public law, and
municipal jurisprudence ; of history, ancient and modern.
national and universal ; of the practical rules of morality, and'
the sacred sanctions of religion. With these great pursuits is
to be interwoven, an elementary cultivation of the Asiatic 18n"
gunge*. Such are the subjects which the young candidates for
Indian honours must study, wherever their studies are to be
followed. Not that it is intended, with the exception of the
moral department, that all should be equally adepts in all, but
that the worst should be conversant with each, and should) if
possible, be strong in some.

If there be any English Seminary, by whatever dooming-
tion called, in which this course of instruction, or the greet"
part of it, is statetlly and systematically taught, we have not
heard of it; and our belief is, that unless the India College
to be excepted, no such Seminary exists in any part of tha
United Kingdom."

NEW COTTOI4.—A particular species of cotton
was recently imported into Savannah,
North
America, from the environs of Bogota, where it
is gathered from trees of considerable height. It
is short, and of a brownish colour, but extretuelf
soft, shining, and silky. It grows around the
grain, and is easily separated when gathered. It
has been already employed in making shawls,
and a great quantity has been sent to France in
order to ascertain if it can be used instead of
silk. An inhabitant of Scriven, Georgia, has
already planted some of the seeds of this now
*cotton•tree.
