This correspondent brought up, in the course

the institution and one of its professors
a large number of students, male and female
probably 700 or S00-are in attendance at the
University. The course of study is thorough"
aud calculated to so muddIe an ordinary female
intellect US to totally untitit for the practical
duties of life. Lucy Stone, Antoinstte Brown,
and others of the strong minded sisters, grad
uated at this institution.
Prof Finney, the celebrated reyiyalist, and
the head and front of the "Perfectionp school
Of religion, holds forth at his church in this
place, though he is at present absent in Europe
Many anecdotes are told of the eccentricities of.

another time, while in the midst of discourse,
Brother Morgan entered the church behind time,

The good people of OberIin are at present
terribly excited about the imprisonment of the

TIE Paris correspondence of the Eastern pa.
pers, as well as the tone of the articles from the
French papers, that We find translated in many
of our leading exchanges, seem to indicate that
an unquenchable hatred of England burns IN
the French bosom. A desire to humble her
pride, and destroy her prestige, pervades nearly
every class and interest. The petition of the
officers of the French army, not long since, to
the Emperor, for permission to invade s'lG per-
tide AWiOn,"5is frequently and significantly
pointed to. And SO, also, is the fact that the
Count of MonteIembert was thrownginto a dun
geon for having spoken of going into England
to breathe fresh air p" Frenchmen say openly
every day that the Emperor is an instrumentin
the handof God to punish the jailor of Napo-
leon the Great.
The stuPendons military preparations which
are going on in England, show that this feeling
of the French towards them is well understood
Apprehensions pervade every class and interest
from one extreme of the realm to the other. A
feeling of vague uneasiness-a presentiment of
approaching difficulty has thoroughly possessed
the British mind. One day it rises into panic;
the next it subsidies into kind of calm despair.
We may think their fears exaggerated, and their
apprehensons without sufficient ground, but
we have no doubt that were we in the place of
England, that we would not view our position
with less uneasiness and distrust
