IMPORTANT PUBLICATION.

Mr.. Andrews, the able and interchangeable
teacher of the New York African Free School,
IS about to publish history Of the formation
and progress Of that institution from It's com
mencement up to the present date--for the
publication Of such work no man IS better
calculated than MIR. Andrews. Himself the
teacher of coloured youth for more than TWEEN
ty years-he is better calculated to estimate
the talent. consult the wants. and advise IN the
interests of our coloured people, than any
other white man, with whom am acquainted.
We have seen the Manuscript and can recon-
mend eyerv cooured man, who feels the least
interest in the good morals, religious charactes
or education Of the coloured population OF
this country, 10 subscribe for it. Prospect
rs of the work is in our Office, and we are
ready to receive subscriptions. 1t will not be
published until sufficient number of sub
scribers are obtained to meet the expences-
and as the price is low, the amount will be
exnectefl in advance, which will be deposited
in Bank. until the books are delivered to the
several subscribers. shall be pleased to see
the history of that school, go to the press.

The following is an extract from Mr.. An
drews, history OF the New York African Free
Schools-taken from the head of advice to the
coloured people.
1t is another testimony in favour of an agrl-
cultural life, and of its adaptedness to the ST.
tuation of our people. 1t is the more import
ant, coming from such an experienced and
able abolitionist as MIR. Andrews.
To the people OF colour in the city of New
York, and of other cities. To those OF you
who have children of suitable age for schooi-
ing (say from years old to 15) we would say
take every pains to have them educated:
Good schools are provided by the Manumis-
sion Society where system of instruction is
pursued that has succeeded to degree equai
to anv other in the country.
Education is essential to happiness and re-
snectability; while Ignorance and crime gen.
erally 90 together and end in misery and ruin.
There are prospects open and opening (not,
withstanding the great mass of prejudice sun
existing against you) for the intelligent and oe-
serving, man OF colour; bat, without tnese
qualifications degradation only can be expect

sumo to present for your consideration, some
evhs, which to my knowledge, blasted the
prospects OF the patrons, and destroyed the
interests OF similar school, established bv
the Presbyterian Church Such is the nature
OF things among us, that these evils will al
ways present themselves under such circum-
stances. The Presbyterian school failed from
an unhappy selection of Its candidates. and the
limited extent oflts tuition And cannot help
fearing, should you not resort to ditferen. mea-
sures, and be more careful IN the selection
of your candidates, than they were, your la
bours OF love will meet similar Issue, and
your lair prospects similar blight Pardon
me in saying, that white men are not calculat-
ed to judge ofthe abilities and adaptedness Of
colo ured men for so responsible, SO high, and
so holy calling-you know our coloured po-
pulation but In certa ain spheres of life. The
intelligent among us, can descend with them
into their different walks and associations, and
therefore can better estimate them under their
various circumstances. A coloured man who
has arrived to an adult state, should never be
selected as candidate for the responsible du-
ties of preacher or teacher, whose DISPOSE
ton, associations, and talents are not peculiar
ly adapted to the work, whatever may be his
moral and religious character. The case is
very different from that Of the youth, whose
mind and habits are to be formed | very
much question the proprlety of taking up
young men who have spent twenty or twenty
five years as common servants. Their minds
scarcely can have escaped the contracting in-
fiuence of their servile condition, they must be
ignorant of the interests of their brethren, and
destitute of the nobler feelings of the SOUL
have always found that when situations of
trust and responsibility offered, the more ig-
norant, and unstable among us, were generally
foremost in their application. That some of
these difficulties may be guarded against, /
hope you will appoint some intelligent colour
ed men TO select the candidates for your pa
tronage-cannot this trust be confded TO some
coloured members of your church, whose situ-
alton renders them competent to the task.
With these few hints respected sirs, sub
NIT this interesting subject to your considera-
ton.
And with deep concern for your health and
prosperity, have the honour to be, your hum

Y'PnGc?S
UPPER CANADA

The soil of Upper Canada, i is stated by
Bouchette, is generally fine, dark loan. mix
ed with a rich vegetable mould, not exceeded
in any portion Of North America. From the
eastern frontier Of the province TO Lake Dnta-
rio, distance OF about 10 miles, tke land
presents an almost uniform level Of exquisite
beauty, rising only few feet above the banks
Of the St. Lawrence, and finely intersected in
every direction, by numerous streams. Sc
veral Of these are navigable with occasional
Instructions from falls) for boats and canoes,
while they offer many choice situations for the
erection of mills. On the northern shores of
Lake Ontario, is ridge Of heights of no great
elevation, and of inconsiderable breath, from
which the land soon descends again, and forms
a level, fertile tract, extending TO Lake Huron.
Most of the settlements are between the River
Niagara and Lake Huron, which is the finest
part of the province.
The climate of Upper Canada is particular
ly salubrious and epidemic diseases, either
among men or cattle. are almost unknown.--
The winters are shorter and not so rigol Gus
as in Lower Canada, and the spring opens,
and agricultural labours commence, from six
weeks to two months earlier than in the neigh
bourhood Of Quebec. The summer heats are
also more moderate, and the autums are In
general favourable for securing the produce of
all the late crops.
The inhabitants are generally Of English
origin, and superior to those Of the lower pro-
vince. Many emigrants from th@' United
States.
York is the seat Of government OF Upper
Canada. 1t is situated upon an excellent har-
bour Of the same name, sufficiently large TO

Your efforts and plans are truly spiritual, they
aim directly at the improvement and salvation
