weu-known author of Alton Locke la
his discourse the reverend gentleman elo>
quently enforced the peculiar views which
attract so much attention to his published
works. He dwelt most emphatically Epor
the wrongs and mseries Of the poorer
classes, attributing their vices to their pow
erty and ignorance, and those again to the
injustice they suffered at the hands of the
rich; while to the latter he assigned, by
direct implication, the responsibility of all
the social evils that prevailed TO SO lamenta-
bic an extent. The discourse was listened
to with extreme surprise by very crowd,
ed congregation, who, nevertheless, little
expected the unprecedent event that &C.

Anecdotes.

"When | was lad,' says one, -" an
old gentleman took some trouble to teach
me some knowledge of the world, With
this view, | remember, he once asked me
when man was rich enough. Ireplied
when he has thousand dollars. He said
no. Two thousand? No. Ten thou
sand? No. Twenty thousand? No.
A hundred thousand which | thought
would settle the business, but he still
continued to say No, | gave it up and
confessed could not tell, but begged he
would inform me. He gravely said, when
he has little more than he has, and that
is never Ii he acquires one thousand,
he wishes to have two thousand then
FIVE then ten, then twenty, then fifty
from that his riches would amount to IA
hundred thousand, and so on till he has
grasped the whole world: after which
he would look about him, like Alexander,
for other worlds to possess.
A young person once mentioned to DR..
Franklin his surprise, that the possession
of great riches should ever be attended
with undue solicitude, and instanced a
merchant, who although n possession Of
unbounded wealth, was as busy and much
more anxious than the most assiduous
clerk in his counting house. The doctor
in reply. took an apple from fruit bas-
kat and presented it to a child in the
room who could scarcely grasp it in his
hand. He then gave it a secon which
filled the other; and choosing a third,
remarkable for its size and beauty, he
presented that also. The child after ma
ny Intellectual attempts to hold the three
apples, dropped the last on the carpet,
and burst into tears, "See there" said
he, "is little man with more riches
than he can enjoy"

Rev. Sir--It will be interesting to the
friends Of the Rev. A. G. Coke in Anne,
RIGA, to be informed that. after a short
visit here, he has just left this place in
excellent health and spirits. Mr.. Coke
came from Salisbury on Tuesday evening

remaining for short walk. and accord

From thence we went to the magnificent

of 100000, by Sidney Herbert, ESQ, a
descendant of the family of the sanity
George Herbert. A further mile and II
half brought US to Bemerton, where we

TO be productive of much good, as his

The Academy, heretofore merged in the College,
and ofcourse subjected to all the evils which have
been found to attend the amalgamation of the two
departments in the same building, and under the
same government, now enjoys the privilege OF
separate establishment, without losing those which

sarv fixtures of complete boarding esta biishment
has been erected and furnished. in which the stu
dents of the Academy board, under the immediate
charge of the Principal and his Assistants; and all
its exercises conducted on system OF Its own,
uninterrupted by the interests operations OF the
| other department. The furniture OF the study
| rooms and dormitories has been chosen with pecu-
liar reference to comfort and convenience for study;
| and no expense has been spared in proylding the
apparatus necessary to render the means
| ton complete; giving to Newark Academy facili-
ties for prisate study and comfortab accommoda-
ton of students, fully equal to those afforded by
many of our colleges.
| Fromitsintimate relation to the College student

THIS Institution, on account OF the rapidly in

compelled TO change its location-the buildings at
Blue Lick Springs being insufficient for the accom-
mediation Of the large number seeking entrance
Within the last year two hundred and sixty cadets
have been matriculated, of whom npar one hun
dred have left or been discharged mainly for want
of suitable "quarters.'' Drennon Springs has been
secured as the future and permanent location of the
school. To the great body of our patronage, COM

could be more desirable Situated within one mile
of the Kentucky river midway between Frankfort
and Louisville it s easy of access in all directions

The buildings and Improvements arevery exten-

for three hundred cadets.
Its retired and healthful position eminently
adaptsit for the purposes of Military School Be-
ing eight miles from any town, it is free alike from
the vices and extrayagancies usually incident to
college life.
