PROFESSOR DEW, AND THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM
AND MARY.
The last steamer brings the melancholy intelli-
gence of the death Of Professor Dew at Paris where
he was on a visit with his bride. He was the presi-
dent of William and Mary College in Virginia, in
which institution he filled the chair of Political
Economy, Metaphysics, Rhetoric, and Bellies Let
tres, Logic, Moral Philosophy, and History, with
high reputation. He was also distinguished as an
author in political economy; and might truly be
sdered as one of the foremost rank in the school Of
free-trade.
We leave it to other pens to sketch, and do JUS
tice to the character of Professor Dew. 1t is with
a very natural feeling that the newspapers, COM
mentng upon his death, state, "there is something
peculiarly melancholy in thus traversing the
wide Atlantic to leave his bones in foreign land"
A letter was addressed from this city to Professor
Dew at New York, on the eve ofhis departure. II
touched upon the suspicious circumstances under
which he visited Europe-wth his great principles
Of free-trade just carried out both sides Of the
Atlantic--the corn-laws of England almost entirely
abolished and our tariff laws shown of their highly
Objectionable features-carrying with him the name
of scholar, which might introduce him to the So
ciety of McGregor and Golden, and the pro.
found political economists of England and with the
name of an American, which never stood higher in
Europe This correspondent congratulated him too
on visiting the interesting scenes of the New World,
with so agreeable companion. He hoped that the
Professor would return with a fresh stock Of health
to benefit his favorite college, and new and ample
fund of information to scatter among his country
men. But how changed is all this! He has only
"traversed the wide Atlantic to leave his bones in a
foreign land"
William and Mary College, which has contributed
much to cherish the political and literary charae-
ter Of Virginia, and to educate so many distinguish
ed men, sustans a heavy loss in his death; but we
are assured that no means will be spared to obtain
an adequate successor We refer our readers to the
advertisement in this evenings "Union," inviting
the attention of professors and literary men" to the
meeting of the visitors on the LIST day OF October
for the purpose Of appointing successor. The in
stiuon is itself in prosperous condition, and the
society of Williamsburg is of the most attractive
description.

MY DEAR SIR: In the "Political Annals Of the
present United Colonies, &c, &c., by George
Chalmers, occurs this passage on page 273:
"The deputies Of these plantations Il. e.. the Prov
ldence plantatons] boosted to Charles ii. of the
merits Of this transaction, and at the same time
challenged the agents Of Boston to display any one
act of duty or loyalty shown by their constituents
to Charles TO the present king, from their first
establishment in New England (s.) The chal-
lenge thus confidently given was not accepted
The reference by the figure (9) is to this note on
page 279:
"There is copy Of the Indian surrender in New
England papers, bundle g. and see the same page

pers, vol. ILL., IS
Now wish particularly an exact and certified
copy of the paper offered by the deputies of the
Providence plantations, or Rhode Island and Provi-
dence plantations in which the words occur as quo
ted by Chalmers, viz:
"Challenged the agents of Boston to display any
one act of duty or loyalty shown by their constitu-
ens to Charles l. to the present king from their
first establishment in New England"
1t should be among the Rhode Island papers
somewhere about 1880, I think or perhaps earlier;
at any rate during the reign of Charles the Second
You will do me particular favor by giving imme-
diate attention TO this matter.

DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 18th of December
last arrived so opportunity, that was enabled TO
make an immediate search for the document you re-
quested; and on finding it, (Which did very quick
Iy,) lost no time in making the necessary applca-
ton to the Foreign Office for the usual authorization
in sufficient time TO enable me to make copy oft,
and to send it to you by this first steamer
There is no date to the document ITSELF but as the
Providence deputies in England the latter part
OF the year l67s and the spring of 1879, and in the
prayer of their petition they seek to be dismissed in
order to return home, its date most probably is
about February, 1879.
Sir, your most obedient and very humble servant,
