Board is 50 25 per week. To those who do not
board in College the charge for tuition is the
same; and for the use Of room furniture, library,
and attendance, SIS for the winter session, and
$40 for the summer session. Admission fee s 10;
and there smalcharge for average dana ges each
session Fuel and lights are charged at cost, and
washing at 81 cents per Dozen The necessary COL
lege expenses of boarding student, exclusive of
books and stationery, are from 5 $50 to 100 per
mum. The bills of each session are payable in ad-
vance, excepting those for board, which are paya-
bic one half at the beginning, and the other at the
middle of the session.
Several important changes have been made in
the department of instruction, which will give to
1t greater extent and efficiency, and will render
its advantages available to a larger number of stu
dents. Two additional professors have been ap-
pointed, one in the department of Ancient Ian.
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
who are not candidates for a degree may, under
the direction of the Faculty select such studies as
are suited to their views and objects in life and
may receive a certificate of their attainments
therein. Youths who 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 attractiveness TO its already beautiful situation
1t is believed the College never presented 80
strong inducements it now does to young men
who desire to obtain thorough and liberal educa.

WAsHINaroN, January 26, 1852.
Messrs LITTLE & BRowN-- Gentlemen: BY your
publication of the English Law and Equity Re-
ports, think an important benefit is conferred on
the legal profession in this country. The fidelity
with which these Reports appear to have been thus
far made their compact and convenient arrange
ment, their early publication, bringing down the
decisions Of all the important Courts to a period
far within those of any Court in own coun-
try, together with their cheapness, ought to be
sufficient Recommendations to insure their general
use.
With great respect, am your obedient servant

If you continue to furnish them at the same price
and as we'll executed as the present volumes, ant
with the same promptness. they will receive tn

IhoeHEss OF IURKET.-The events Of 1923
which had thrown Turkey under Russian in
nuence, and those Of 1910 which proyedlthe
power OF Mehemmet Ali, contributed to keen
up the idea that Turkey was slowly falling
INTO an abyss. After 1923, Turkey came out
OF her terrible struggles with Greece, which
mad armed for her liberty; revolutions in diff.
lerent provinces had weakened her; her imam
ces were exhausted her annual revenue did
not exceed one hundred millions her army
was not more than 80. 600 men, and her heet
mad been destroyed at Navarino. Under these
y. circumstances Turkey naturally drew toward
VIC power which threatened her the most, and

w. h; 'nnnuence revealed itself by the treaties

France which is the soul and model of the

credit OF that power is now 80 firm that il is
in position to realise at present a loan Of 40
TO 30 millions with the European bankers.-
Turkey has not, as yet, political institutions o,
any great extent, but she has the germ of large
municipal liberties, which are the bases of
every liberal constitution. Such progress and
tendencies have raised Turkey to the height
of the great nations of Europe, and explain the
unequivocal sympathies of the French Gov.
eminent for the Porte. There are few nations
who have done so much in so short a time
and who have so we'll justified the remark
that progress is never so we'll realised a.

FROM THE NORTH,

Charles Grant, ESQ.,, Of Pembina, arrived
with his train at ST. Anthony, on Thursday
last. He brings fifteen carts with buffalo robes.
We obtain from him the following particu-
lars IN relation to the distant region whence he
comes, and his trip through.
The heavy SHOWS of the latter part of win.
ter. when thawed about the close of March,
flooded Red River, and all the Northern
streams, causing general destruc ton of the
farms on Red River, and great distress in the
Selkirk settlement. The freshet continued till
June, and prevented the seasonable planting
of crops, as all the settled lands were subject
to the inundation. As consequence, great
suffering for want of food is anticipated in the
Selkirk settlement during the next winter. The
people OF Selkirk are now compelled to de-
pend upon the chase for subsistence, which 10
rendered precarious at this time in consequence
of a war waged against their half breed hun.
ters by the Yanton Sioux Indians, who are
assembled in large numbers in the buffalo
country to assail them on their approach:
The people Of the Pembina countryside
whites and civilized half breeds-with few ex-
ceptions, reside at 81. Joseph, at the foot Of
Pembna Mountain, 80 miles west of the juno
ton of Red and Pembina Rivers-a high and
eligible situation beyond the reach of the
foods which devastated their previous settle
ments on Red River. i
There are between twenty-five and thirty
buildings at st. Joseph, including Catholic
Church.
They are gaining considerable accessions Of
population from the Selkirk settlement, many
Of the inhabitants of which are migrating south
of the boundary line.
MIR. Grant says that the Pembina region is
fine farming country, with good soil, well wa
tered with rivers, brooks and springs, and con.
tanning an inexhaustibls supply Of coal and
salt, and that he expects, at no distant day, to
see fourishing settlements there, and steam.
boats running from Pembina on Red River to
Lac Traverse, thence through a canal two
miles in length into Big Stone Lake, and
thence down the ST. Peter to st. Paul, the com.
mercial depot of the great North West, all Of
which is practicable during high stages Of wa
ter.

the motion of the monster. The last we heard
