Several important changes have been made in
the department OF instruction, which will give to
j greater extent and efficiency, and will render
it's advantages available to a larger number OF stu
dents. Two additional professors have been ap-
pointed, one in the department of Ancient Lam
guages, and the other in that of Mathematics. The
scientific course has been extended, so as to en-
brace practical surveying, the elements of engi.
neering, and other kindred branches. Young men
VINO are not candloates ior oegree may, under
the direction of the Faculty select such studies
are suited to their views and objects in life, and
may receive certificate of their attainmcnts
therein. Youths who are not fully prepared to
enter the college classes will receive such instruc
ton as will fit them to enter upon the regular col
lege course.
The buildings are undergoing thorough repairs,
and the grounds are being laid out and improved
in a manner that will add much to the convenience
and atractiveness to its already situation
1t is believed the College never presented so
strong inducements as it now does to young men
who desire to obtain thorough and liberal educa-
ton. J. s. BACON,

PosTAaE STAMPs.-The following resolution Is
said to have been passed at the Oneida Methodist
Conference:
Whereas the use of post Office stamps may, by
possibility, subject the most circumspect to the
groundless imputation of fraudulent intentions;
therefore
"Resolped, That we deem the practice Of using
forego the trifiing convenience which their use
cures. Adopted, and ordered to be published in the
Northern Christian ADVOCATE"
But in what way these eminently convenient
little appendages have offended against conscience,
IL not explained. Perhaps it is because they do
not always stick to the letter Of the text.

Friday:
"Letters from the country say that the product
usual, and that quantities of it are bought up by
dealers with the view of keeping in their own
hands the supply Of the market They therefore
advise consumers to purchase sparingly at pre-.
price IL likely to be lower. At present the pas
lures are full of the richest grass, in consequence
of the September rains, and if we should have
a fine October, q largo addition will be made
to the stock Of butter on hand. The dairymen
who made cheese in the summer are now turning
their attention to the making of butter, with an
expectation of moro profit from that branch of
husbandry."

"There never was known for many years 80 great
a scarcity of the silver currency as at present, in
consequence of the very large expectations of sill

Melbourne, Geeong. Sydney, and other ports of
our Australian colonies for the convenience of the
adventures at the gold diggings.' Not a vessel
leaves the port of London, Plymouth, Bristol, Lv-
erpoo, SC, but takes out q considerable amount
both of gold and silver specie, either by specula-
tors who are proceeding to the above colonies for
the purpose of making large purchases of gold
from the emigrants now workin g at the diggings,
consigned by capitalists and bullion dealers to
their agents at Port Philip, Sc, for the same spe.
ci6c purpose. 1t is with much difficulty that the
bankers in the city and West End obtain silver
currency to any amount, either at the Bank Of
England or the Royal Mint, to accommodate their
correspondents in the different parts of the United
Kingdom with silver coinage At Birmingham,
Manchester, Liverpool and other large CONNER.
cial towns, the demand at the various banks for
silver is great that they are unable to supply

is vast quantity being shipped off to Australia and
India, but the demands for silver bullion and specie
for France, Belgium, Holland, Hamburg, and the
continent, are also very extensive. In consequence
of this immense call for silver it appears that the
authorities at the mint intend having O consdera.
