It must give satisfattion to such as have con-
nexions in this excellent National Institution, -or
who otnerwise take an interest in its success, to
learn, that it is in a state gradual ,improvement,
and that the number of young gentlemen educa!ed
in it, and destined for gewrat
,service, has been
greater this year than at any former peried.' The
buildings at. Blackheatlf intended for its reception,
are in a stale of greakierwardness,:and it is expected
that the College will certainly retneve thither in the
