UNIVERSITY or ALABAMA.--The oaiciaf
report nude Of the condition Of this inst,-
tuition to the Legislature is just published
in tho TascaIoosa papers. From i we
learn that its income foy the last year.
including the balance nm hand at the last
report, amounted to $30, 5o5.--The ex-
penses in the same time were S31, or,
thus leaving y balance en- hand Of more
than 81, $50.
The report speaks in high terms Of the
prosperous condition Of the institution,
says that its professors are some. Of tho
ablest in the country, nlltdes in satisfactory
terms to it's excellent and thorough course
Of classical and modern education, and
compliments the pupils on the propriety
Of their conduct. s
During the year the Rev. L. ID. SHINES,
professor in Randolph Macon College, Nir-
gina, was elected to the vacant chair OF
English literature nd clocution, and james
c. Dockery, a graduate of the University
Of Paris, 10 the prolessorship Of modern
languages. These %gctlemen both have a
high reputation for scholarship.
BY an ordinance Of the Board, passed
some years since, a full course Of education,
free from any tuition fees, is offered 10 one
young man Of indigont circumstance
from each county in the State; and as there
arc forty -nine counties in the State, n libe-
raj provision is thus made 10 educate no
less than forty-nine young men, free from
charge, Us far us the University is con-
