ed, the cottou market hus not only exhibited au unsettled
and declining character, but transaction* have also been
quite limited. The sales of Saturday amounted to ou!y
1310 bales; ou Monday to 22UU; and yesterday to in
all 5900 bales, l’rices lor the belter descriptions have uni
experienced any material change, but the ordinary ami
middling qualities, which are daily becoming more abun
dant, have declined about a 4c, and our quotations lor
these, have accordingly been altered.

Sugar—Since our last report, owing to unfavorable
weather, Ac. the market has been almost entirely with
out transactions. There is little or no demand, while at
the same time an untisuttily heavy stock has accumulated
od the Levee. We still retain former quotations, say lor
Inferior to middiiug 4®4|c, fair to prime 4*®-}, and
choice lots 5(®bc per lb.
Molasses—The article la dull at 17.® 18c per gallon, in
the beat cypress barrels. The rales on plantation are 13
®14c per gallon.
Flour—Since our Inst report supplies have again come
In very freely, while at the snnie time there has been only
a limited demand, the rates beiug too high to induce pur
chases lor shipment to the northern ports, where a furth
er slight decline has recently taken place. We found the
market dull, therefore, yesterday, nt a slight decline from
last week's prices, and now quote #(> 25 for superfine, at
which rate there were some sales, and other lots offering,
though the stock instore is generally held nt higher limits.
Pork—We continue former quotations, which are for
clear $9® 9 50; mess $eti0i 5o; prime 8o®6 50.
Bacon—There is very little demand, but the limited
transactions that take place, are ul our former range of

Western do 19®2i); Scotch 14® 18; German 12® 14c per

Whiskey—The market continues to be amply supplied,

Grain—Rainy weather has prevented transactions to
any considerable extent, but prices have undergone no
very material change. We quote shelled Corn, iu sacks,
52®53c per bushel; Oats do 40 a 42c per bushel.
Bxchanoe— Since our last report the confusion in the
bank currency has, iu a great degree subsided, and the
transactions in exchange hnve resumed their former posi
tion. Business has been done to a fair extent in both
Foreign and Domestic bills, and without uny material
change from the rules of last week. Sterling continues
to sell pretty freely at 13j®l I* per cent premium, and
French Exchange at 5f 02J. The sales i f the last des
cription, however, are ou a small scule, as the supply nnd
demand are both very limited. Bills ou New York at t>0
days sight are rather dull, owing to the senreitv of money
there, and the consequent dilllculty in obtniniug discounts,
and sales have been made at u slight decline. We quote
4.}®5 per cent premium as the present current rules.—

Nassau, N. P. 7tl» December, 1841.
I sent you on the 17lh of November, by the way of
New Orleans, a brief account of cite mutiny and inuc
4cr by the slaves on board the brig Creole. Captain
j£n*or has so far recovered that he will be able to
Jeave to-morrow or next day for New Orleans yin
Davauu. Two of the slaves (prisoners) have died
ill jail, one from wounds received in the affray nud
the other from n aural causes. 1 think I mentioned
that a number of tlicio had sailed for Jamaica. They
aru shipped free of expense, and a bounty of $'30 u
head paid on their arrival to the shippers, us 1 am
informed.
Captain Arnold is making all possible despatch
with the ship Rob Roy, but it is uacerlaiu when she
wilt be ready for sailing. Her passengers sailed on
Friday evening last for Stirrups Key, to get on board
A vessel bound for Mobile if possible.
The brig Rondoul of Boston, Captain Littlefield, I
gram l'ert au Prince for Boston, with coffee, logwood,
Ac., was so much injured in a gale the fore part ol
November, that he was obliged to put in here on the
17th instant with the assistance of a wrecker, who
was awarded bv the chamber of commerce $3,500 for
liis services. The vessel was condemned and the
cargo sold.
The schooner Alplieus, Captain Mayo, from Aux
Cayes bound to New York, w’itli coffee and logwood,
was wrecked ou Menouuga the first part of November.
A part ofithe coffee, about two hundred bags, and
fifteen or eighteen tons of logwood were all that was
saved, which with the captain and crew were brought
to this port. Very truly yours.

Ill copying, yesterday, an abstract of the report of
the Post Master General, we noticed that un import
ant part of it had been passed over. It is his sug
gestion that Congress should create a debt of eight
millions of dollars at once, in a stock at 5 per cent,
interest, for the purchase from the prineipnl rail
roads, of “ the right to tnins|K>rt the mail upon these
roads in all time to come, free from annual charge
upon the Post Office Department.’* The Post Mas
ter General has two object# in view, in this project—
the relief of the rail road companies from their “em
barrassments and difficulties,*' by the “aid of the
general government;” wliich is put first, as most im
portant iu his estimation; and secondly, to secure the
United States an “ample equivalent.” In other
words, he would have tlx; United States borrow the
money to lend the rail road companies, on the secu
lity of an annual relinquishment of tolls to the amount
of the interest. The contract is to last for “all time
to come.” If the Government of the United States
is willing to bind itself to carry its mails in one di
rection, and by one mode, to the end of the world—
it seems to us that the capacity of a rail road compa
ny cannot be extended, even by a liberal construction*
quite so far. Corporations, by fiction of law, are
sometimes made to be pcrpxtual, but the legal fiction
is not such a guarantee as would make their immor
tality so sure, that we the people of the United States
may prudently tax ourselves eight millions of dollars,
to buy n perpetual annuity fiutn them, of four hundred
thousand dollars in tolls. Who guaranties that these
companies will live in “ all time to come;” that they
will keep up their railroads in good repair ; that they
will perform the duty faithfully for any number of
years; that their roads will continue to he the best
routes for the mail, and their modes of conveyance,
the must speedy and convenient; that no rival im
provement will not expedite travel between the
same two points; or that some new power may not be
invented, within the lifetime of a corporation war- |
ranted to last forever, which may make the use of any
rail road at all for the mails, inexpedient! The Post
Master General appears to think that we have arrived
at the highest point of ii^p^einent in mail transport
ation, by rail roads; dift science has nothing more
to teach on this head, “ \n all time to come;” and
that we ought, us a nation, to securo the enjoyment
of these pei feet machines, under the control of immor
tal and infallible corporations, at the cost of any num
ber of millions; or else he must have n sympathy for
their suffering and embarrassed condition, which has
overpowered his judgement. We hope Congress will
not let its pily for the.se distressed corporations, tar
ry them quite solar as to luvor the Post Master Ge
neral’s expensive and expansive charity.
Mr. Wicklitfe claims, however, that this plan would
operate ns a relief to the people and to the depart
ment. The general correspondence of the country is
now taxed by heavy postages, to support the depart
ment; while the correspondence of Congress, and the
government generally, goes free: and, if wo under
stand him correctly, he thinks this unnual tax of four
hundred thousand dollars paid to die rail roads, a re
lief to the department ut the general cost of the coun
try, and equivalent to the amount of postages which
die government would have to pay at the regular rates.
It did, indeed, seem to occur to him, that there is
another way of equalizing these burdens—for Govern
ment to pay postage on all its owu correspondence,
and tiicu proceed to adjust a new scale of rates on
that basis. But the idea did not occur to him in this
simple form—lull as a means of raising money by the
department to pay the interest on the loan. The loan
is to be the chief thing; the relief to correspondence,
and die equalizing and reduction of postage, a means
of paying the interest on tho loan—so that, after all,
the project is to lx; judged of per sc} and in that aspect,
will be, we think, pretty summarily disposed of, as a
device to increase the public debt without any corres
ponding profit to die public—but for the relief of em
barrassed companies, and the advantage of distressed
politicians.
In the dearth of mails yesterday, our contemporary
of the Advertiser found something in our columns of
Tuesday, with which to fill up a considerable space
in his paper, and afford him u text for some sharp
comments. VVc have no objection to afford him such
n resource, but we prefer when he takes matter from
us, that he should deal candidly with us. VVe know
that much allowance Mu lie made for the political
exigencies of a inino.vg^Pr niching at every trifle for
improving its chances Ri power, but our neighbor ex
ceeds his license wheakc seizes, against our own iuu
mediate protest, upon a casual express ion used by a
correspondent in this paper, referring to the present
action of a portion of the Legislature, on the Hanking
system, and assumes it to define the settled policy of
the Democratic party of the State. The policy of the
party on the subject, is not to be n>ude for them by
members of the Legislature, in or out of caucus, nor
to be announced authoritively by individuals or pres
ses, friend or foe. Upon great principles, the tenden
cy of its action may lie always confidently lorcscdft,
hut it is ijot ashamed, that during the developemenls
of those principles under circumstances of extreme
difficulty and embarrassment, it cannot with the pre
cision and promptness of unreasoning oJwdlence to
dictation, or blind discipline, wheel into line in re
gard to particular measures. We, at least, will not
concede to our adversary across the way, the j»rivi
lege of drawing lines for the parly, which will leave
us out of it. We mean to be, and be called Demo
crats, and at the same time to l>ear our testimony as
clearly and strongly, as the best Whig of them all,
against the tadical faults and mischievous influences
of the State Hank system. In this, too, wo know

Washington, Dec*. 21, 1841.
| Tim subject of Repeal was brought up in the Se
ll ;te* this iimrtiiiii, mid elicited u spirited debate, in
which ail the I uiing men, except Clay, participated,
j The (pxfStion, which was one simply%«f reference.
cm'orac ed in its details the subject of the military ant
I naval defences < f the country, the stale of the finance!
Sir. Mr. CIhv being absent, his liftiiteiiaufs manager
i the business blunderingly enough; and had, of course
j decidedly the worst part of the argument with them
, Mr. Linn w i-•du d the bill repealing the Distributor
j law , to be refeired either to a select committee, oi
! the committer on Military AIT irs; the character o
J the committee mi Public Lands being such as to pre
j dude the possibility ol a favorable repoit. Mr. Kin(
! of Alabama, and Mr. Calhoun, addressed the House
j in favot^Ring’s motion; nnd Mr. Preston al«
i A Repeal, on the ground of impolicy ir
* ~'38ii. of die trc.nury- The animal repnr
HMnf the finances, which was laid on tilt
Wning, show* a deficit for the past y ear
faidf millions nf dollars! and that, too, umki
ng ch aiu.'.ances of increased exportatior
over importation. Mr. Buchanan was in lavor of ar
immediate repeal, and wished more economy to bi
practiced by th ; Secretary of tha Treasury, and the
Post Master General; the latter of whom, Imd the
remarkable in? ! sty to ask fora loan of eight millhm
io pflrchn; • the rail roads in the United States. The
Secretary was Severely attacked by both parties, for
his extravagance, mid not a voice was raised in his
defence. The Senate finally refused to refer the bill,
by a vote of 23 to IS; and the matter, therefore,con
tinues in pos.-c'Mtin of a Committee of the Whole,
where it mu-: rrn.rro mtil after the holidays. There
is noj^f v,success of this Repeal bill,
evetC jl)ry iner.-- *•
is a IdmrrTn;11mv\y^ust now in the House. We have
t litis the astounding spectacle before us, of an admin
istration in power only nine months, overloaded with
debt, and still sinking deeper and deeper in prodigal
ity and wasteful expenditure.
In the House, the subject of referring the Tariff
portion of the message to the Committee on Manu
factures, caused n continuation of the debate com
menced last week. High tariff speeches were the
order of the day for the Whigs, and freJFlrade for the
Democracy.
Washington, Dec. 22.
With this, you will receive the details of (be Hoard
of Exchequer as submitted by Mr. Secretary Forward.
Its object is evidently to suit all parties, as it em
braces the leading features of the old United States
Hank, the Pet Bank system, and the Sub Treasury.
Unfortunately for the President, however, this very
reason will prevent its receiving the support of the
friends of any of these financial schemes. I have
conversed with (he leading men of both political par
ties in the House and Senate, and^ftdan almost uni
versal expression of dissatisfaction in regard to the
bill, as at prest.ni prepared. Several of our friends will,
however, support the measure, if the discount feature
is removed, and it is probable that the Eastern Whigs
will support it in any shape from the good old mar
gin “half a loaf is better than no bread.” I repeat,
however, that it cannot pass in its present shape.
In makiag (hesc remarks, 1 merely give you a slight
idea of the observations passing around me. All
though, I have read the project of the Secretary, the
subject is one so difficult to be understood, especially
in the manner that it is treated by Mr. Forward, that
it would require what seems to be the wishes of Mr.
Tyler’s Iriends,it should have a “long consideration”
to find shape in it. The subject will not be brought
forward, however, for a long period, as there are so
many mutters of importance to be acted upon. Those
Whigs who desire so much tiino for conside
ration, after the length of lime they have already had,
would lead ouo to think that they were imitating the
example of the redoubtable Wouter Van Twillerj^f
New Netherland, so admirably described by Diedrick
Knickerbocker. In the House the,Tariff' debute was
continued.
Mr. Marshall waa'ably answered by Mr. Rhett,
of South Carolina, who went into an exposition of the
doctrine* of Free His remarks were of an
extensive character, and embraced the whole subject
of the Tariff'. He drew a contrast between the con
dition of the mass of the people in countries where
the opposite systems prevail, and showed conclusive
ly that the prohibitory principle only tends to make
the rich richer, and the poor poorer. He concluded by
an appeal lu ths good feelings of the Northern people,
not to press a question which but a lew year9 since
threatened to sunder the Union.
Mr. Atherton, of New Hampshire, next obtained
the lluor, and will probably close the debate to-iuor
row on the question of references. The vote will be
close.
A motion so to amend the Bankrupt Law as to
take away its leading measures, was submitted by
Mr. Cowan, of Ohio, but owing to objections raised,
the subject was postponed until it comes up in regu
lar order.
The Senate was occupied on bills of a private char
acter, and of no general interest.
Mr.ssas. Editors—There can be no mistake
that “Observer” in the Advertiser, is u real “Fede
ral Whig.” He thinks the appointment of Mr. Adams
as Chairman of the Foreign Relations in the House
of Representatives, is all right, because Mr. Speaker
White who appointed him, is rich! “Wealth and
respectability” are sure signs of “ patriotism,” says
Observer, not only in the party lliunself, but for all
whom be countenances with bis favor. Mr. Speaker
White's “wealth and respectability” make Mr. Ad
ams’ abolitionism entirely harmless—nay, makes its
influence upon the negotiations with England, quite
beneficial! Mr. Everett, loo, if not rich himself, is
the son-in-law of one of the richest men in Boston j
and therefore he is a fit minister to England, and his
abolitionism is patriotism! Beautiful logic! eminently
and peculiarly Whig! SPEED.
ROBBERY.—A Large Haul—One Thansand Dol
lars Reward.—About one o’clock on the afternoon of
yesterday, a snmlj room in the Patent Office building
Washington, adjoining the National Gallery, wasen
tered by means of false keys, aud several articles
stolen, the value of which is estimated at from four
teen to fifteen thousand dollars. The articles stolen
were an elegant and costly gold snuffbox set with
diamonds, having the letter “A” in diamond- cti tiie
lid; a pearl necklace,consisting of 148 pearls; also
two very large ones separate, sent to the President
by the imauin of Muscat. A gold scabbard was also
taken, the sword belonging to it was left doubtless to
enable the thief to put the scabbard into a convenient
form to be secreted on bis person aud carried off. The
room had been visited, and the curiosities shewn but
a few minutes previously* He was a bold rubber,
thus U) venture broad in daylight to make a felonious
entry into u public room liable every moment to of
ficial visitation. By an advertisement in another col
umn it will be seen, that a reward o(one thousand dol
lars for the recovery of the articles and the detection
of the robber, is offered by Mr- Ellsworth, the Com
missioner of patent*.—[Baltimore Clipper.

to enter his intimity repoil, against the report of tlie
committee, an<| h"| ‘<i llie House w ill not concur in
said report Ini will pass the Bill. From a long and
intimate acqtuinlaice with the Legislature of this
State,and pai*tirululy with that in relation to the
Banks, In: is well fonvinced that the present loose
and dekucrioHs unde of electing Bank Directors, is
the must; dangcrou.. and irresponsible that Could be
devised. Thu resilts have shown, that men have
been elected withoit one solitary (|iiulilication, to lit
them for lie oilice, uni, when it has i>cen found that
they weia totally quorum of every principle of Bank
ing, and ucompetent even to the arrangement of a
small coiitry sure, the question frequently arises
“ who notluuted sr could think of electing such a man
to he i ilrLt od witfc millions of dollars;” ail that can
l>e know tilt here, in that he was voted for, hut on
whose iioiliiatimior reco.niuendation, no one knows,
as no recoil is kept of the name of the nominator,
and amouilu body of one hundred and thirty three
members,4mjn ising the two branches, all responsi
bility h l"4r-n‘tt of. It not unfrequeully happens
that men olWv.I worth, and who are in every way
calculated tdpfcli.irgc the duties of a Director with
ability, are Itftpn by others wholly inferior to them,
through the iiiAuuicntality of an active friend. The
direct conuectfo between candidates and u embers
has been shewfew the records of the Banks, to be
deleterious amk^oald be changed. The system of
electioneerin gMart >acted on so extensively to secure
Directorship, J3»li be broken up by the passage of
this Bill, and*' jc.inls for appointment would stand
on their char* ri and'qualifications alone. The
Governor compelled, in order to sustain his
own charactel - jfcplace before the Legislature no
names but thcKj Ifddc, irreproachable men.
The histonW %e last eight years’ Legislation in
relation to tie 1 phutment ot Bank Directors, will
shew its rniiio|m|ndeuey, and calls must loudly for
reform. Noth® can be of more importance to the
whole people <^iis state, than that able and compe
tent men shoulinanuge the Banks which are the pro
perly of the Star of Alabama. Your Bank reports
shew that the Kite is indebted for the Jupitnl of
your Banks $1bO0,OOO, and also that the people of
Alabama arc iiibted to the Bunks (I refer to the
year 1840, us live no means of knowing what it is
this year) $20, ■L(i93. Tims we find the Directors
intrusted u ill. Kamrniou* sum of $32,093,693,and
aH »his respoiK*-' Ifv isoij the hand»»f thirty live men,
scattered Aver tlisl iaie in ttte live Banks. Is it not
then of vital impoilincc, not only to the Banks, but
to every citizen oilho State, that these thirty live
men should be se'clmd for their skill in tinancc, their
honest integrity d Luted to the interest of the State,
and that their miuilbc uninfluenced by the threats or
importunities, if iLmy time any such be made of
members of the LrLdnture or any other person! Is
ii not important tUl there should be uu entire sepa
ration between tlalinembcrs and Directors! And
tliiil the dircctoiy s add be placed above all fear from
;..,t;.,;,i..ni .n.....i..... ..i„ ,i.. .i:...
when the charattor filmpaper is such that it should
nut be granted I It was been said that the Logisl.i
tine is as honest as i..g Governor; admit it, but the
Governor’s re«p insjb tity t eaches every portion of the
state, while that ofi member is confined to the county
lie represents, and fit qucntly to a majority of votes
of the comity on!.. '1 tie responsibility of a member,
in the present nt > lc of electing is lost in die mass,
whereas the resf *mibdity of llie Governor is personal
and direct. It hu* ilso been s^id that the Governor
would be likely i> nominate his particular friends,
and perhaps from his partisans; in reply to that in
sinuation 1 refer l > the hills, hy which it will bo seen
that the power of ■fcctiuu is directly gives, and rests
on the minority party and the power would he theirs
to defeat such u uinulions. The first section pro
vides that the Gomrnor shall, within the first week
after the passage ftlie Bill, nominate eight persons
fir each Bank, an I at every session hcrcailcr, with
in the first five weds of die session, the same imm
her of persons; half that number shall lie elected for
cadi directory. ' ’le second section provides that a
majority of two thirds of those voting shall he neces
1 sary to a choice. Thus the minority will ever have
it in their power t* reject any improper person nomi
nated, and even tie whole number, and at once pre
vent any incompetent persons from being uppoiuted,—
The third seepon provides or requires that die Gov
ernor shall make atodier nomination, and forbids the
re-noiuinatiou of any person previously rejected.
Thus the rights of every portion of the Legislature
are protected; the election placed in the hands of the
minority party of the Legislature, and any abuse of
power attempted by any Governor,checked.
Under these view* the chairman must protest
against the report he lias been directed to make, and
hopes the House will not concur in said report but
will pu9s the Bill.

money shall l>e recovend, or iiothing if unsuccessful,
This would indicate llut they think something of the
chances; but really tlie prospect based on the above
extracts looks at least wry doubtful.
There has been muci enquiry us to the course of
Great Britain relative U the demands for indemnity
lor slaves that have bteu liberated in the British
West Indies. We have not now the correspondence
between Mr. Stevenson and tiie British Ministry on
the subject. The correspondence look place in 1838.
In general terms, it airouiited to this: The British
Jrovernment acknowledged its obligation to pay the
ull value of slaves thus liberated prior to (he act of
emancipation, and did w> pay for them, but she re
fused to pav for such as have keen so lilmrated since
that act. Mr. Steveusoi did not relinquish the claims
which had arisen since then—on the contrary, lie
pressed them very strongly, upon the very grounds
England herself had laid down as just. Her position
now is passive—she contends her soil is tree, and ull
who eater upon it are free. We think it is plain
that she will never pay indemnity for our slaves. She
is determined to carry oil her abstract notions of
liberty—(i. e. every whtre but in her eastern colo
nies) 'and if ever \vcg»*t indemnity we will have to
take it.—Richmonc^jomyler.
A Novel Cause forArsquatu latino.—The
case of the United Stateavs. Samuel A. Siiydam (for
an attack on Mi*. Alvear it Niblo’s Gardens, some
months ago,—the particulirs of which were related
at the time A was called it the U. S. Circuit Court
| si auw l»rV oil Saturday, and was postponed on
account of the absence of .wo material witnesses, one
of whom has gone South,uid the other, Miss Selindu
Stewart, had left fo» Eunpe by the Great Western.
It seems from a letter whcli Miss Stewart wrote just
liefore her departure, that, she had hut recently re
turned from Paris, and thitt a summons as a witness
was the first welcome she received on her return honor.
She resolved, qnce, to go back again,‘preferring
the horrors of a sea voyngo at this worst season of the
year, rather than be made the object of attraction to
a crowded Court room ofl impertinent people, and
suffer the unplcascntiicss ola severe examination by
a pack of impertinent lawyjrs, all the dulnils of which
must be spread oyer the dully papers.”

Hovf the South is <Juarued by the Re

Abolition Chairman of the Committee of Foreign Af
fairs, and nn Abolition Minister to England, the
South stands but a poor chance of protection or re
gard. Not content with thus inflicting wrong upou
this section of the country, the correspondent of the
National Intelligencer, at Paris, makes the sage re
marks which we give at the end of this nrlicle.—•
Were it possible for the correspondent to indulge in
inrony, yve should be injured to believe that lie meant
to be witty on this occasion. Be this as it may, it
is no subject for wit, apd may cause a laugh at the
wrong side of the face it) the find.
“Mr. Edward Everett is in the Rue de Rivoli. on

Stales form a large part of Ins constituency, no doulH

to be a concern for our whole Union, equal in mo

From the above statement will l»c seen how I >ware
the funds of the Society at present, owing childly to
the recent-purchase of the three story house mid lot
adjoining the old Asylum. The “managers” were
induced to incur this additional expense for several
reasons. 1st. It was deemed proper that the male
nnd female orphans, hitherto, from necessity, resi
ding iu the same house, and about equal in numbers,
should In; kept in separate establishments, which
could not be done without procuring mini her house.
2d. The “sisti r» of charity” lately arrived from the
North to take charge of the Institution, purpose con
ducting, in addition to the Asylum, a fiec school for
such children ns their parents me unable to educate,
for which they bad iio room iu the bouse already oc
cupied by tin* orphans.
An additional mol'*ve to this purchase, besides its
immediate connection with the other Asylum and the
healtiifulness of die location, was the comparatively
small smn for which this very spacious and solidly
constructed building was obtuinc I from the Rt. Rev.
Jlishop Fortier, with the extensive lot annexed to it,
the whole purchase money being I :it three thousand
dollars, (- 8000) little more than lm*f what the build
ing itself cost, and of which, (as specified above)
$23-40are already liquidated.
The M auagirs were still further encouraged in thus
extending the usefulness of their society, especially
to the large number of children in nnd about the city,
who, for want of means, are destitute of education,
by itleii- ^«#uHde>«t reliance oil ill** proverbially gener
ous clmrity of ibis community, of which they have
had already mHi ample testimonies.
It inay be w II to mention here that, in the last
item of expenditures ( 452,) besides the travelling
expenses of the four “sisters” from Maryland to Mo
bile, are also included $'20«), the annual amount, (viz
only >30 for each sister) given to the motherlioiise,
out of which they are furnished, during Urn year, with
ail necessary clothing.
After the above plain statement of their manage
ment during the past eleven months, the ladies deem
it entirely unnecessary to make further appeal to the
generous sympathies of their patrons, iu behalf of the
numerous, interesting, but helpless family, (now 86
orphans,) under their charge, and almost u lu.lly de
pendant for support, during the coming year, on the
proceeds of the ‘Fair’ to be held on New Year’s Eve,
for their benefit, at the Alhambra, as the public ate
already notified.
i ne managers womu merely ami tiuu, wime nicy
(latter llicinsclvefl, ilie above “ac count of their stew
ar(ishi|)” will meot the approbation of their friends,
they would also hope that, the present solid and per
manent basis on which both Asylums are now estab
lished, and the persons, who of all others are best
adapted to the duty, now in charge of their inmates,
will give additional confidence to their humane and
generous patrons.
If further inducement were necessary, the mana
gers would beg leave to assure their fiiends, that the
ladies of the society, assisted by many others, have
plied till tlicir skill ia combining the useful and leuvti
ful, in the articles prepared for their New Vear’s
acceptance—all of which is respectfully submitted.

IN announcing to tin* public that the duties of his
Academy have been resumed, Mr. Uoylau takes
leave, being at the close <>f the year, to offer his grate
ful thanks to his benefactors and the public generally,
fir the very liberal support with which he has been
favored since the formation of his institution.
Undeserving public patronage, should he justly
deem himself, if not stimulated by such flattering en
couragement , to enter on the duties of the new year,
with such additional zeal and devotedness to the im
provement of his pupils, ns may render him deserving
a continuance of it, from n generous and discerning
public.
To parents and guardian* imbued with correct
iilev.8 of bringing up their children or wards accord
ing to the strict la.vs of morality and virtue, which of
all duties is the most paramount, an impropriety,
must appear, in ha\ big both sexes instructed in the
saute establishment. But Mr. B. flatters himself,
that he has inn V such arrangement-' in his Acade
my, as wiil entirely obt into any impropriety, and pre
clude the possibility of nnv undue communication to
exist between the inale and female departments; and
he respectfully invites parents and such as may feel
interested, t»» visit the Academy and judge for them
selves. de< 2S
