THE REPORT OF SgLEcr COMMITTEE ON THE
LITERATURE FUND.-A committee of the Board of
Education some time since appointed under
the following resolution -
Resolved That a committee of three be appointed to
inquire into the application of that part of the
Fund which is apporoned to the Regents of the Uni
versity to the city and county Of New York That the
said committee be instructed to inquire into the expe-
diency applying to the Legislature for such altera
ton of the law will permit the moneys referred to
be applied to the support of High School or College
fer the benefit OF pupils who have been educated in the
public schools OF the city and county.
The committee report that they have given full
consideration to the subject submitted to them.
The schools which participate in the moneys re-
ferred to, are;-The Grammar School of Column
bia College, which received, at the last report, the
sum of ST. i2 sS; Grammar School of the Uni
versity of the city of New York, which received
S726 II. New York institution for the deaf and
dumb, which received Sl,2i2 ~. Rutgers Fe-
male Institute, which received ST. ,53i IL; making
in all $4,645 81.
In the estimation of the committee these schools
ought not TO receive the money of the fund, which
was established, in order to render it possible for
all to have the advantages of an academical edu'
cation AS to the Institutions referred to, they are
part oil them, deriving considerable profits from
their operations, and their stockholders are re
celVlng large dividends on their investments in
these schools. For instance, it appears in the
case OF the Columbia College grammar school,
" that on capital of $l3 700 profit of ss3 1863
has accrued, being gain of over "a per cent per
annum." The Rutgers Female Institute is also
shown to be making money. These institution
surely, think the committee, ought not to receive
the benefit of the public fund.
The Committee feel compelled to oppose the
payment of the moneys of this fund to the Deat
and Dumb Institution, although they are con
vinced oil the great blessing which that institution
is TO the class which it proposes to benefit Thu
Committee do not believe the Institution cal
suffer, even if this money is withheld from thei
use.
The Committee recommend the establishment
of a high-schoo, such as is referred to in tn
resolution.

The NAvY.-By private advices from Washing
ton, we learn that Commodore p. F. Voorhees,,
who, our readers will recollect was suspended a
few years since, has been restored to command
The circumstances that led to his suspension
are these.
Captain Voorhees, was sent to Buenos
Ayres for the purpose of protecting Ameri-
can interests While there, an American mer-
chairman was fired into by Busnos Ayrean ves'
sci of war, and her crew were about to be i'm
prisoned, as was represented to him by her COM
mander, who applied to him for aid and asss-
lance in the emergency. Captain Voorhees,, of
course, promptly answered the call, and proceed
ed to demand redress. He called on the Buenos
Ayrean officer, by whose direction the American
brig was fired into, and requested him to desist
from the course he pursuing, but he
refused; and Captain Voorhees, considered him
self justified in obtaining redress, which he did,
by capturing the whole of the Buenos Ayrean
squadron. For this act, as we understand it,
Captain Voorhees, was susps Hded; but in justice
to that gallant officer we must state that many
differed very much on the propriety of the sem
tence. His conduct OH the occasion was warmly
approved OF, we are told, by all the French and
English officers that station.
We are rejoiced to find that Captain Voorhees,
is restored to his command, for there is not more
gallant spirit in the navy.

PARIS, Dec. "a, 1916.
One oil the most pleasant private parties that we
have seen, was given by the Marqpise de Lava
lette, whose house and apartments in the Place St.
Georges, form as beautiful bjou as can be
looked upon. We met with the Marquise at nj.
Guizot's fete, where she ranked as one among the
best dressed and distingue in that assembly.
We have attended number OF other sosrees and
gay places, but society, believe, don't begin In
their spendor till after the year. The theatres,
operas, and bal Mosques are all under way, and
the crowds which frequent these places in Paris,
are perfectly incredible. This vast metropolis is
in fact the centre of European gayety and civili-
cation. From every part OF the continent, people
come here to spend the winter, acquire know
ledge, replensh their wardrobes, polish tn cir
manners, and add to their stock of information
The number of gratutous lectures given by men
of the first eminence at the different public inst-
tutions, is almost incredible to any one from a
foreign land, where nothing comes Of nothing.
Next week the presentations will be made to the
king-the grand balls will commence-and soon
thereafter the Chambers open. The deepest in
terest is attached to the discussions of the French
Chambers, as well as the English parliament
perhaps deeper than has taken place for man y
years. The rupture in the friendship between
the two governments may lead to strange results.
AT all events, the United States will be allowed to
prosecute her operations against Mexico without
any such interference as was displayed in Texas
annexation. The governments. of Europe have
enough to do at home.
