with virtuous and obedient children; to those
who have suffered by the waywardness of
some beloved daughter; and to all kind heart
ed men and women, who would gladly see re-
claimed from evil, or restrained from sinking
into lower depths of vice, the neglected, ex-

For six years has this subject been agitated
in the State, and presented to the considera-

time the objects, plans and practical workings

active operation by the first of July next.
By the terms of the resolve of the legisla-
ture granting State aid of $4,000, the sum Of
500, 900 must first be secured from other
sources. OF this amount, $4,000, at least,
is contributed by two generous ladies in Hal

Feb. and March, is O39 inches above the
mean, and nearly inches more than the cor

The total value of the vessels lost or mis-
sing, bound to or from ports in the United
States, during the last month, not including
the cargoes. is Sl,32O,0O0 The number OF
vessels was fifty, of which seventeen were
wrecked. The St. John Globe states that
the number of vessels lost belonging to that
port, since January l., is sixteen, involving
heavy loss to underwriters. The present year
has opened rather inauspicously for the ship
ping interests Of that place.
