$50 extra for washing.
AS the expenses nfthc college are CONSTANT

OF a decrease in the number Of pupils, so there
will be no deduction made to. a student, for
loss Of time by sickness OF otherwise, but, as
the tickets are transferable, another student
may be substituted in the place Of him who is
absent.

The HlHPgRs' PUBLISHING ESTABLISH.
mENT-The New York correspondent Of The
Charleston Courier, furnishes The following
interesting particulars respecting the Messrs.
Harper, and their mammoth establishment.
Let me improve this occasion 10 speak Of
the distinguished firm in which the native
American candidate 10 the principal. ]. and ].
Harper was the name under which the two
elder brothers (James and john) began BUSH
ness as printers. They took the first step,
more Than twenty years ago, in bringing down
the price Of republiCatioDs TO a reasonable
standard. The consequence was an almost
immediate success. Perhaps they owed much
to the ortunate circumstances Of their having
begun with those immortal works, the Wa
verify novels. The two younger brothers 10
sepii and FIetcher) came into the house at a
later period. They are all men Of excsllen,
standing and character-distinguished for
their exactness and fidelity in bnsiness.--
They have published many original works,
and paid large sums TO authors. As a recent
instance, / may mention that of $500 to Mr..
VIM. II. Prescott, for his great work entitled,
the Conquest Of Mexico. | learn, also, that
the learned DR.. Charles Anthem receives from
them more than $1,000 annually al copyright
for his ~yarious classical and school books. Mr.
John L. Stephens, author Of Incidents OF Ira.
vel in Central America, &c, has received
more than $4,000. Do not such facts as
these controyert the opinion that American
authors can get nothing for their works The
truth lie, that successful authors are well paid
everywhere, and fifty international Copyright
Laws will never enable an Indifferent writer
TO procure even a bare subsistence by his psn.
The Harpers have a very large printing es-
Enlistment. They employ eighty compost.
tors, one hundred and fifty girls in folding
books, besides numbers Of persons in The Other
parts Of the business. To how many families
must such an establishment give support -
Beginning with the poor people, who 90 about
the streets picking up rags for the paper ma
kers, perhaps it is not too mucht to say that
three hundred families, full fifteen hundred
persons, are clothed and fed by the work Of
this single house. When we think that the
basis on which all this rests, is made Of the
brains of a few authors in the old world and
he new, we are certainly not disposed 10 fol-.
the fashion Of the political economists,
Ind rank the literary tribute among "the nm
productive laborers." | am very curious to
know how many millions of books have been
and published by this one house alone
since its commencement.

CoAsT0F ArRfcA--The brig James Hay,
arrived al New York on the 10Th inst. from
the Coast Of Africa, in 10 days. BUSINESS 10
represented as dull.
A slave brig, sailing under Brazilian colors,
having 500 slaves confined on board, WAY cap.
tured by = brig Of war, and carried into Sier.
IA Leone. The slaves were all sont into the
Queens Yard, where they would remain until
they could be shipped to the Cape. The war
on the river Noonas between the blacks has
ceased, aud The English have POSSE ssion Of all
the posts on the river. The difficulties on the
Sierra Leone river were settled, and trade,
which bad been stopped for a long time, had
recommended.
1t will be remembered that Indignation was
brought by the barque Latrobe, Al Baltimore,
that The brig Francis Lord, Of New York, was
fred into by IT, o. NJ. ship Alert, ofF the coast
Of Africa, on the night Of Jan. 24ih. The ac-
count was disGrsdited BY the owners Of the
Francis Lord, who had received letters dated
on board subsequently,, on the 25tIb 9Th and
Goth January, in which no mention was made
st the affair. The report brought by the La
trobe, is, however, confirmed by Capt. Wise
man, Of the James Hay, who reports that the
Francis Lord was actually fred into, the ball
passing through her m~ainsail, and that no
cause could be assigned for the outrage.
