It is our wish. should your Society have appropriated an cxcluswe .fund for China, that this little sum should be added to it, as a slight'token of our interest in extending the circulation of the sacred volume in that country, now providcntially rendered more accessdile to- Bible and Missionary oper.t:ions. A part of the sum thus devoted, which would have been much larger but for our efforts to increase- our own domestic circulation, is from some ~ofour corresponding Societies lit the Cllllllily, which have annually transmitted you their mite, in furtherance of the blessed work.——— Should this little tribute be the means of directing the efforts ol abler Societies to a special pfOVlSlOll for the object at which it aims,"niay it not prove as leaven among meal.

The departure of the Halifax Packet, this evening. enables me no acknowledge, without loss of time. your letter ol'the l5ih ult., ‘and to send you the thanks of our Committee for your remit- ttance of £25. as a free contribution. with special reference to the circulation of the Scriptures in China. You will baVe seen that “we have given every encouragement to the Missionaries proceed- ing thither to expect supplies of the Chinese Scriptures from us, 'but as yet, although we have received remittances front various «quarters, with particular regard to our objects in China, we thave northought itexpedicnt to make an espectal appeal to our tfrieuds on behalf of that country, from a consideration that we can only fairly begin our operations al'ter‘tlie Missionaries have 'paved the Way. The subject, however, will be again considered. "in deference to the wishes of many subscribers, and you and other friends will, of course, be made acquainted with the result. 'We notice, with pleasure, that yoti teceived the last consignment of'Scriptures front hence duty free. The act of your Legislature use. great boon, and deserves our united thanks.

Sincerely yours, J. JACKSON,

The body of Mr. William Collin, senior, of St. Peter’s, whom We noticed last week as having been supposed to be lost at sea, was found on Monday the 19th, in the surf near Black Bush, fully twenty miles to the Eastward, of the spot where he had been fishing, and was buried on Wednesday last.—-Ib

To I'll Eon-on or was Conoxriu. Hess“. Sis; on, or run Psorbfi.see,”has at last ventured to > Ink. some inquiry about the sfiitl of the Conn-s1 Aosdemy,

and to express something oftbe surprise which everywhere prevails at the apathy with which that Institution has been |and continues to be treated. Noise enouch has been made about it iii the Legislature, for years past, Ibut few I belieVe, of“the people” have over troubled thsttiselves to, ascertain its real condition. Rumours have been spread to the preju- dice of the constitution of the Academy, butl have never heard any real foundation stated for them. Reproach and obloquy have, in an indirect manner, been cast upon the Masters; .but when investigation was made before the Le- gislature, it was provetl to the satisfaction of'sll parties, that the Masters had been unwarrantably abused, and testimonials of the highest character have been given to them oftlie suc- cess With which they have contended with the disadvantages under W-I'HCII even the Trustees in both ends of the Legis- lative Building acknowledged they had laboured. Changes, however, have been called for, and, to a certain extent, se— cured. At length, a board of Trustees has been appointed

to dojustice to one and all ofthe parties concerned.

Your correspondent seems very anxious to ascertain who are to be the Masters, and it is, perhaps, natural enough to ptit the question ; but he must leave that to the board, whose pre‘rogntjve it is to make the appointments; and he must wait their time too, anti be content with their mode of pro- cedure. He asks if the present Teachers are to have no no- tice about quitting, or whether they are to he continued. What notice they may have had, it may be difficult for him to know, btit it is not very likely that old and tried servants will be dismissed, to make way for new ones, without some good and valid reason. The present Masters obtained their situ- ations under a permanent Act—gave tip other situations on the faith of its continounce—struggled with all the difficul- ties with which an avowedly defective system was beset—a endured desertioti and neglect, where patronage and support triigbt naturally have been expected—quid it is not at all likely that, because under these circumstances they have not done all that those who did not know how they were situated might have expected from them, they will either have notice about quitting, or be continued in the lower departments, and a Head Master obtained. Iftliere is force in the sugges- tion, that preferences should be given to other Teachers in the Town, much more forcibly does the suggestion apply to the Masters in the Academy, who, so far as evidence goes, have done the very best that could be done in their circum- stances, and whom, probably, no Board of Trustees would be disposed arbitrarily and summarily to dismiss. It was

scholars would be kept tip iii the midst ofso much outcry as has been made oflate about the School, and so much uncer- tainty about its continuance; btit I believe those who have kept their children at it are at least as well satisfied as those who have taken thetii away, or those who have supported other Schools. The working oftlio new system must test the merits of the alteration. The subdivision of the etiiolu-

fees, are not likely to secure higher attainments, though they may extend the advantage ofthe Institution to a greater number—but much will depend upon the system oftraitiing that is pursued. A PATRON. June 20th, 1843.

DISORDERLY Dunno—We have of late beard frequent complaints of the very disorderly manner in which some persons are to be seen occasionally driving,’ through otir streets. A few (lays since, an individual from the cotititry was taken before a Magistrate, charged with driving furious- ly through the streets, in contravention ol'tbc law in that case made and provided,and the charge was clearly and dis- tinctly proved. The plan brought forward, however, in pal- liation ofthe offence, being ofa somewhat novel nature iii a

nil whom it may concern—it was to the effect, that it had become notorious that a certain privileged class ofiridividuuls were almost daily in the habit of committing much greater breaches of the law iti this respect than that ofwbicli he had been guilty, antl~ that, consequently, it would be ex- tremely unjust to punish a poor ignorant countryman for sim— ply doing that, ouce now and then, which, it appeared to him, was not merely tolerated bttt approved of'iii others more fortunately circunistaticod in life than himself—by persons, in fact, who style themselves gentlemen. A plea so forcible, ntitl witliul so fttll of sound logic, could not but produce the tlesired effect ttpon the mind ot'the good natur- ed Magistrate, and our friend [lodge came off with flying c‘ours. \IVo merely mention the above circuiiistatice, for the correctness of which We can vouch, simply as it occur- red, and refrain fi'om making: any comments on itnt present, in the hope that the bare mention oftlie subject will accom- plish the end we have in view, viz., the putting a stop toa practice at once tliscrcditnhleto those who indulge in it, and endangering the lives of Her Majesty’s liege subjects. fiassengers’.
