MUS, is now under full and successful opera
ton, and the number Of scholars attending i
is daily increasing. 1t has been opened for thu
reception Of students but short time, and il

paratory, and number in the Classical De
partment.
The other day. We paid visit to the build
ing with view Of ascertaining how it has
been finished internally and what its arrange.
ments were for the accommodation Of the
Principal and pupils, and as short description
of the various rooms into which il is snbdivi.
ded, their locations and USES, may not be with
out interest TO our readers, we proceed to give
them some idea Of the manner in which they
are situated and occupied.
The door ot the main entrance on the first
floor opens into wide and spacious hall, ri
the other end Of which, is another folding door
similar to the one you enter ut. To the let OF
the hall is one large room, which is used as the
Preparatory Department. This room Is well
furnished with desks and is finished of in al.
mirable style for the purpose for which it is
occupied To the right Of the hall, are two
rooms OF medium size. These are used. one Of
them for kitchen, and the other for . ser.
wants bedroom. Next, we come TO stair
way leading to tire second floor, to the left Of
which are two rooms, of the same size rs the
two TO the right. One Of these is occupied by
the Principal as bedroom, and the other US
a diaiag-reem Ascending the aigh, o, s.airs
to the LEFT, is large room, Immediately over
the kitchen and servants room, occupied by
the Principal as Parlor, whilst on the other
side OF the stairway, leading to the third story,
is another large and spacious room used by the
Principal as a study.
Running through the entire width Of the
building on this floor, corresponding in size to
the Hall on the first floor, is another one de-
signed for the use Of the Library Of the lnsti.
tuition. To the len Of this Hall is another
large room. Of the same dimensions as the one
now used rs the Preparatory Department.
This room is intended TO accommodate the
classical scholars Of the College. Ascending q
flight OF stairs into the third story, you come

hest style OF mechanical art. This is the lee
ture room Of the Institution, and is used on
Tuesdays and Fridays .of each week, by Prof
JUSIus, for the delivery OF lectures. II is also
at present. until a building can bc erectcd,)
occupied by Rev. Il. ID. NELL, pastor Of the
church,of the House OF Hope, as a place Of
worship. The hour for services being at half
past ten O'Clock in the morning. and at seven
o'clock in the evening of each. Sabbath.
This, We believe, completes our intended
glance at the st. Paul College, building OF
which every inbabitant of st. Paul ought to
he proud. The size Of the building its cost
and style Of architecture, we have already
spoken Of in former numbers Of our paper.
To Mr.. MILL, more than to any other indi-
vidual among us belongs the credit Of the es-
tablishment of this institution Of learning in
our midst, and for his unwcarie,l exertions 10
