REPORT OF THE REGENTS OF TIRE USIyERsIrY.-:
The Seventy fifth Annual Report of the Regents Of
the University of the State Of New York for 1861,
gives succinct view of the present financial ane
scholastic condition of the several colleges and acade
mics Of the State. Theaggregste number Of studenH
in general literature and science for the collegiate
year was LIS, being an increase Of 247 over the
number in 1860 and larger than that of any previous
year. The number Of medical students has been
c69, decrease of 81 as compared with 1860, which
is accounted for BY the withdrawal Of nearly the en-
tire body Of Southern students. The whole number
of academca institutions subject to the visitation OF
the Regents is 20. The appropriations made to
them for the purchase of books and apparatus amount
to abount $4,000. For a document purportng to DO
devoted to the interests of literature this report 10
printed with disgracefl inaccuracy. The Chancellor
of the Regents may be learned man, but be has
evidently no eye for Typography. Thus the Christian
name of the venerable Professor Of Greek In Union
College is mutilated. Archbishop Whatelys name,
which occurs several times il uniformly misspelt.
Other proper names fare equally i'll. A study pur'
sued at one of the Colleges is Moral Philosophy"

there let them rest, by the right hand done, by the
left unknown. How much such persons are needed
here, let this incident illustrate: Last May, two
negroes escaped from the heart of Secessia, tie
masters being in the Rebel army. They very nat
uray and justly took horse apiece TO effect their
escape. Arriving here, they went TO camp to try
and sell their horses. The officer who bad charge
tod them TO return ut u certain hour with Their
horses. At that hour they came; the horses were
taken away from them by police and appropriated,
and the two negroes anesed as horSe-iheves and
thrown into prison. IHey hare here renamed erer
