ANOTHER ADVANTAGE OF COLLEGES,

In late number Of the COMMERCIAL. we
spoke of the direct pecuniary advantages of col
leges to the place where they are located, as OK
emplifed in the case Of Amherst Mass, where
sI5,ODO, contributed by the citizens to bring the
college to that town, has led to an annual outlav
in the place Of some s1s9.OOO, which circulatep
in every channel of business and ordinary liy-
ing.
But another and very importion result OF 10.
eating college in place, is, that it brings in
many permanent residents and generally those
Of very desirable class, both socially, and in ,
business point Of view. Wherever there ia ,
first-class college, there many families of wealth
and influence take up their residence for ths
sake OF educating their SONS Or daughters. And
generally these are families, the heads of which
have retired from business, or are not dependep,
upon it. And apart from their expenditures for
living which are usually on liberal scale,
thousands and even tens and hundreds Of thous.
ands Of their capital soon find their way into
the channels of business, aiding manufactures,
building houses, constructing railroads, estab.
lishing banks, and making improvements which
greatly benefit the community, and prove profit.

Let our thoughtful citizens and shreyd and
enterprising business men ponder these things,
in view Of the proposed Female College. Of

THE DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY FISH.
ERlES QUESTION,

The purport of recent joint resolutions, passed
by the Delaware Legislature, confines the fuuc-
tions of the Commissioners appointed on behalf
OF the State, on the Fishery Question to the set
Element Of issues arising AZ TO the fishing rights
of citizens of the two States, and forbids their
entering upon the question of Jurisdiction. 1t
is considered by the Delaware authorities that
the Pea Patch decision fully confirmed the claim
OF this State to the whole Of the river, within
the l2-mile circle, and that this branch of the
subject should not be re-opened by the Commits
sioners. They are therefore only TO examine
whether the New Jersey people have fishing
right within the jurisdiction of Delaware. II 80.
they cannot, OF course, be interfered with, but
If not, it will be expected that they will submit
to the Delaware laws, and in return for their be.
ing placed upon an equal footing with citizens of
this State, and required to pay only the same
license, it will be demanded that oystermen from
Delaware shall be entitled to take oysters on the
New Jersey shore, on an equal footing with citi-
zens Of the latter State. The laws Of New Jersey,
as is we'll understood, now discriminate, with
great severity, against residents of other States
preventing them, under severe penalties from
taking oysters within its Jurisdiction.
There has been no definite information re.
ceived from the New Jersey authorities, Cup to
the 9th inst.,) that Commissioners have been
named, OR even that they will be, but it is fully
expected that that action will be taken. As to
the temper with which they will meet the propo-
sition to consider the question Of jurisdiction as
settled, we confess doubt whether the proyerb-
lal constituencies of New Jersey as to her
rights" will permit them to assent to the clear
legal case which Delaware has on the "Circle',
question, and we shall not be surprised to find
the Commission fail altogether in any definite
settlement.
Since the above paragraphs were written, we
learn that Governor Parker has appointed, as
the New Jersey Commissioners Abraham Brow
ming, CORTLAND Parker and A. II. stape.
These are able lawyers, The Commission will
now promptly meet and organize.

The weather was very cold, in fact, ono of the

The decorations along tina avenue could not

oc with many beautiful specimens.
On Account OF the extreme ferceness of the
hurricaAe quite number OF plans regarding the
decoration OF the avenue were not carried ont
and many were net finished a. originally qon
templated.
Nearly opposite the Executive Mansion was
the first triunphal arch, formed by flags and
steamers OF all nAtionalities. A stand, hand
somely decorated with bunting aud flowers, had
also been erected just opposite the White House,
from which the President, with family And frinds
reviewed tho troops to-day, aud witnessed the
maneuvers Of the West Point cadets and other
military organizations.
Passing down toward Fifteenth street, the
