character this Institution now sustains, we i'll
cned to believe that there will be much greater

mencement this season, than have ordinarily at
tended fom Newport on former occasions. We
learn that there will graduate at the present term,

therefore, that the public exercises on Commence

our society seemed to be shaken-and
the shock was not confined to this vicini-
ty or State, but extended throughout this
land. q
\ Suspicious too horrible for uttcrance
were excited in the breasts of renectng
men. The sense of security which the
law inspires, was in Il great manner lost.
no mans house was considered safe

disposed to trust to their own arms, rather
than to the protection of the law for their
safety.

stantly over IA. The murdcrers have

Our lcrvent prayer for you is, that
you may be prepared, by sincere re-
pentancc, TO appear before the Judge of
all the earth. And we would urge you
TO apply to those pious men whose duty
it is to teach our holy religion, to help
you with their prayers and instruction
during the few remaining days which
may be allowed to you; and may God
grant success to their cndcavors.
1t only remains for us to declare the
sentence of the law-which is, and this
court dot, accordingly adiudgc
That you be carried from hence to the
prison from whence you camc--and from
thence to the place of cxecu,ion-and
there hang by the neck until you shall
be dead. And may God of his infinite
grace have mercy upon your soul.

NEw-yOnK is the largest city in the
United States and probably as ilourishug
as any in the world. Its population will
not vary far from 100000. 1t is often
said that n. York is fast moving out
of town. This by the census appears
true. AS business increases, stores and
shops take the places where dwelling
houses stood and families are with
drawing into more retired parts of the
city. The population is composed of all
nations and languagcs-and as it is the
centre of business, so it is the central
resort for rogucs and villains.
PHILADELPHIA is next in size to New
York, and supposed to contain about
100000 inhabitants. No city presents
to stranger more delightful appear
ancc than Philadelphia. The inhabi-
tants have been distinguished for their
adherence to the good princi plcs ofWm.
Penn. But the rapid increase lthe place
has materially changed its moral ica-

it is also becoming resort for rogucs

BALTIMORE il the third city in size
in the United States and contains pop
ulation of8l 900. IL has increased near
ly one quarter in the last 10 years, and
still is rapidly increasing IN wealth and

BosToN is the next city IN size and Is
the capital of \. England. II contains
6l 900 inhabitants. There is no city,
where the private buildings, generally
present better specimens of architecture
or arc moro splendid in their appearance.
More thanS 100, goo is here expended for
public and private schools, and in no
place are the people better informed.
NEw-ORLEAVs il next in size to Bos-
ton. The population is not known cor
