Our COMMON SCHOOLS. - We lay before our
readers to-day synopsis of the report of the Hon.
N. S. Benton, the State Superintendent of Com.
mon Schools of this State, 10 which we invite the
attention OF our readers. We found it impossible
to give this document at length, although we
would gladly have done SO if our limits would per.
nit. The synopsis, however, contains much
matter of interest, and will amply repay careful
perusal.
We would point out many interesting facts in
his report now, if the pressure on our columns
was not SO great as it is-one point, however, we
cannot permit to pass by, and that u.s. the crafty
ing tact which we have seen noticed, that, for
the year lsa6, at least one-quarter of the whole
population OF the Empire State have received in
Struction in our high schools and incorporated
academies-a fact that gives room for columns of
agreeable reflection.
We trust and hope that our educati onal system
will always be cherished, both by our citizens
and by the Legislature, tor, on the education and
intelligence of our youth, depend the mainten'
ance of our liberties.

News bx tho Gambia.

The steamship Cambria is now in her fifteenth
day, and, if she has not already arrived, she must
be very near our shores. Look out for the specu-
lators.
She is the fastest vessel Of the Cunard line,
and has, before this, made the passage in eleven
days Look out for spectators. 1t is therefore
clear that she must soon arrive. Look on. for
spectators. Indeed she may have arrived before
this, because the Boston telegraph was not in
working order yesterday, and some spectators
would not hesitate to cut the wire for the purpose
ofgetting the news here exclusively. Look out for
the spectators.
We desire the public to be on their guard to-
day, and to look out for the spectators.
N.B.-The steamer had not arrived at Boston
mt one o'clock yesterday afternoon. Never mind;
look out for the spectators.

We see by the advertisement of the Hudson River

scrioes interest on their instaments Mr. Editor Ill
you please TO advise me from whence they derive their
authority SO to dol JUSTICE.
The commissioners have no authority for pay
ing fraction of interest on the nstalments IN
any shape or in any way.
The commissioners promise TO pay seven per
cent interest Oh the nstalments, from the dare Oh
their payment, and it is probable subscriptions 10
aarge amount have been made upon the strength
Of this promise and the assurance that ii will be
adhered to.
1t would be well for subscribers to the stock OF
this road to have this question satisfactorily set
tied before paying up the first instalment of Ave

upon to do next week.
The present commissioners or directors of this

words, the charter of the company not COMPEL.
ing the payment of interest on all installments,
from the date Of their payment, it is liable at any
time to be repudiated; and the first financial diff
nculty the company gets into, will undoubtedly
produce delinquency in this matter.
1t appears by this, that the charter has not been
strictly adhered to; and if. at this early day, that
instrument is thrown aside, there is no guaranty
that greater and more dangerous abuses may not
hereafter be practisedN
We have had SO much stock speculation, so
much Wall street influence, so much wire. pulling
among cliqw's Of brokers, and so many move-
ments for the purpose of breaking down stocks at
one time, and pnllinng them up at another, in all
the railroads connected with this city, that it is
enough to destroy all confidence in any of these
works; and we trust those interested in this new
project will settle IN their own minds all the points
at issue, and matters in doubt, before they be-
come involved to any extent.
With this we take leave of this concern, with
the hope that If the money is raised, it will be jul
diciousy appropriated, and that this road will not
prove second edition of the Harlem.
