The "GLEBE FUND."-The question
has been frequently asked by intelligent
persons, What is the "Glebe Fund" of
which so much is said in the present Gene
raj Assembly? We propose to answer.
Previous to the separation of this country
from England, a tax was imposed by that
government on all the tobacco raised in
Virglnia-she then being the only State
producing it-for the purpose of purchasing
homes, in the nature of farms, for the use
OF the ministers of the Church of England,
then resident in this State. Since the Rev
olutlonary War, these farms or homes,
called "Glebes"--for what reason we do
not know-having reverted to the State,
have been sold, and the funds held by trus-
tees for educational and charitable pur-
poses. The impression having prevailed
that this fund, in many instances. is most
,outrageously misapplied, the Legislature
has heen requested to take the matter in
hand, and apply the fund for purposes of
general education. In some portions of
the State this fund has been used for the
support OF the poor, and it is believed this
TACT Will cause some opposition to its entire
appropriation for purposes of education.
Such as has been invested in this way, NAV
be, very properly, exempted from appro-
prlation, as indicated in the present bill.

LECTURE OF Mrs. HARPER.-Mrs. F.
Z. W. Harper, the colored lady who lee.
tured in the Hall of the House of Delegates
few days ago, also delivered lecture last
night in the old African church, Broad
street, for the benefit of the Attucks
Guard, that organization attending in a
body, besides large attendance of other
citizens, male and female. The subject of
the lecture was the connection of the col
ored people with the late war. The re-
marks OF Mrs. Harper were quite interest
ing, and We're listened to with great atten-
ton by the large audience. The proceeds
OF the lecture will be devoted to the liqui-
dation of the debt contracted by the At
tucks Guards in procuring uniforms. Du-
ring the evening the choir executed several
beautiful and appropriate pieces of music,
and at the conclusion of the exercises
vote OF thanks was rendered to Mrs. Har-
per for her interesting lecture.
