Lord Pnlnirrntoii' IMury.
Tho London Jfrcord says of this iorthcomlug
and anxiously-expected work:
1 he main fact published by the A'heiurum is
quite true, although not to the extent which an
evening contemporary would induce sanguine
render to believe, when it intimates that "Lord
Palmerston's shrewd perception and genial
humor were employed in this diary of his to
analyze the characters of the great men with
whom for three-score years he was in aim oh t
daily contact. Sir Henry Bulwer. who is said
to be at work on a biography of the veteran
statesman, will have materials at disposal une
qualled since the days of Boswelt."
The diary Is to lie full of interest, and distin
guished by all the late Premier's finest charac
teristics. It commences when ho was sixteen
years of nge, and it ends at the close of lSJiO,
when he assumed olllco as Foreign Secretary.
But at present no continuation of the diary ha
been found among his Lordship's papers; and it
has none of the attributes of a lioswellian record.
It in replete in interest; modest, unaffected, and
simple; without an atom of gall or ill-nature,
but short and condensed, as if the stylo had been
formed after the model of the sententious bre
vity of Tacitus. It seems to havo been originally
designed in its present form chiefly to explain
why he left the Tories and took oiliee under the
Whig Karl Grey; a change which, according to
Lord I'almerston's chivalrous sense of honor,
could only be justified by the fact that he was
himself deserted by the party when lie was un
seated for the University of Cambridge for
voting in favor of Koinan Catholic emancipa
tion, although there had been an established
compact according to which that question was
to have been an open one. This diary will ex
plain that his long term of service as Secretary
at War was not from the want of many over
tures to accept higher olliccs. His Lordship was
importuned by Mr. Perceval, as Mr. Pitt's suc
cessor at Cambridge, to assume Mr. Pitt's oflleo
of Chancellor of the Exchequer. He twice de
clined the Governor-Generalship of India, and
ho was willing to have accepted, on Mr. Can
ning's solicitations, the Chancellorship of the
Exchequer. But George IV thought he 6hould
find a more pliant minister In Mr. Jlerries; and
Mr. Canning was compelled, after a visit to
Windsor, to make an awkward apology to
Lord Palmerston by offering him a British
peerage and the Governorship of Jamaica. We
understand that tho story of this interview is
full of the most racy humor. The Viscount
burst Into an uncontrollable fit of laughter,
w hich for a moment quite disconcerted Canning,
until Lord Palmerston, with his ready good
humor, relieved the Premier by telling him that
he saw that he had not the Chancellorship ot the
Exchequer at his disposal, but that for himself
he preferred the House of Commons to the nig
gers ! Lord Palmerston's life spans the gulf that
separates the era of Fox and Pitt from the times
of Gladstoue and Bright. But we fear no diary
will be found t ) conduct Sir Henry Bulwer over
the thirty-five years which separates the com
mencement of Earl Grey's administration from
the close of Lord Palmerston's.
SpiritunlUiii nnd Witchcraft In London.
From the London Xeios, Aug. 20. v
A case of witchcraft in the Black Country
would almost lead us to suppose that the people
there are as superstitious as the London be
lievers in messages from spirits. Ann Jones, tho
wife of a collier, receives divers sums from Eliza
Southall, In consideration of the husband of tho
latter getting well of a sickness. Ann Jones is a
wise woman; she mutters charms, shows a col
leuaion of familiar toads In a bottle and gives
certain stuffs to her clients to place in an oven.
When the oven is duly furnished. -'my husband,"
fays Eliza Southall, as collected and distinct as
if she were giving evidence before the Dialetieal
Institute, "my husband began to jump about tho
house as if he were stark, staring mad, and I
noticed at the same time that his hands
and face broke out ail over with large pimples."
When the wise woman was iuforined of this she
took the phenomenon as a matter of course, and
thus accounted for it: ''I have drawn all the
disease out of his body Into the top of his head,
but I can fetch It right out for another two shil
lings." Such virtue is there In two shillings;
but in the end Eliza Southall bean to suspect
that she was a fool, and during the lucid inter
val she took counsel of the police. Tho magis
trates unkindly remarked that they believed
'Mrs. Southall was the most foolish woman that
eonld be found in the whole country." This
was a sweeping assertion, though in a great
measure justified by the facts: yet we happen to
know that at this hour there are in London at
least three men making good substantial incomes
by easting horoscopes and pretending to consult
the stars.
AdventurouN Vovnsrr In n Tiny Vessel,
From the Edinburgh Scotxman, Aug. 19.
Mr. Empsou Edward Middlelou, late of her
Majesty s 51st Regiment of foot, who arrived in
Edinhurg on the evening of Tuesday last, has
undertaken an adventure which is perhaps with
out a parallel in the annals of yachting. Ho
has undertaken to circumnavigate the coast of
England alone and unaided in his yacht Kate, a
boat of three tons burden: and in a couple of
months from the time he began his voyage he
has succeeded in performing the larger half of
liis task.
Mr. Middleton left London In the Kate on the
15lh of June, and sailed down thoTb-mes in the
face of a heavy gale of wind Iroin tho northeast.
On the Hith he had a good run lrom Greenhithe
to Ramsgate under close-reefed mainsail. Ho
had light head winds all the way down the
Channel, and made the Lizard on tho i:ith, and
Land's End on the 14th of July. Thence ho
sailed along the coast of Cornwall to Lundy
Island and Mllfordhaven, encountering very
stormy weather In tho Bristol Channel. When
off Lundy Island the Kate was kept out all night
by the sea that was running. At Mllfordhaven
she got bee timed, and was detained five days.
On Die 1.11th of July Mr. Middleton attempted
to make Scoona Island, but was caught in a
gale of wind, and had to put Into North
Haven. On tho 31st he ran over to
Courtown and Dublin, where lie remained for
two or three days, after which he made for
Donoghadee, where he was again becalmed.
On the 15th of August a breeze sprang up, and
he succeeded in making Ayr on that day, having
taken exactly two months to accomplish the
voyage from London. The wind again falling
away, he lost a day nt Ayr; und on reaching
Irvine on the 17th of August he took the steamer
to Bowling. From thence he came over the
canal to Grangemouth and took the steamer
for Lelth, which he reached on Tueiday even
ing. Mr. Middleton intends to complete his
voyage, which he hopes to be able to accom
plish, within a mouth; and with this
view he proposes to leave Leith in tho
Kate on Wednesday morning. The longe-t spell
id w-rk wl.I. Ii lie had on the vovig.i w.i-in
coming down tho Channel from Brighton to
Southampton, when he was out two days and
two nights, during which time he had no sleep.
His usual habit was to come into port about
midnight, rest for two or three hours, generally
on board the yacht, and start again about three
next morning. Ho very frequently found him
self Vccalmcd when four or five miles off the
Eort where he meant to spend tho night, and he
ad to work himself into harbor. He also lost
much timo when off Cornwell In waiting for the
flowing of tho tide to float his yacht out of the
dry harbors which abound on that coast. The
Kate is a very handsome little craft, of twenty
one feet keel by seven feet beam, and, as stated,
three tons burden. Large crowds of interested
spectators collected around her as she lay in
Leith harbor on Wednesday.
THE CONTINENT.
Turkey nnd Egypt Their Mntunl Kclnltoim.
Alexandria (Aug. 6) euirettfitnitrnre of Malta Timet.
His Highness the Khedive (Viceroy) of Egypt
arrived in his dominions on his return from
Europe nt noon on the 28th ult., having made
tho run from Toulon to this port lu his beautiful
yacht, tho Maharoussa, in three and a half days.
On the 2!th the usual reception was held. In
reply to the address from tho Consular body
his Highness expressed how fully he appreciated
the marks of distinction which had been
bestowed upon him by the principal Courts
of Europe, and added that such atten
tions would greatly contribute towards
rendering the relations between Eirvpt and the
Eurorcan powers more cordial. To the com
mercial body his Highness made known that, his
medical advisers considering that his stay in
Europe had proved of sufficient duration for the
full restoration of his health, he had availed him
self of that opportunity for not prolonging his
absence from his dominions any longer. His
Highness further announced his intention of
giving all possible protection to trade and to the
development of the resources of the country.
The news of the Khedive's decision to return
to Egypt having preceded his arrival by only six
days, "it has been impossible, at so short a notice,
to get up the illuminations on as grand a scale
as is generally tho case on such occasions, but
everything was so simple and yet so tastefully
arranged that, coupled with the perfect calmness
of the weather, the illuminations during the
whole of the three days which they lasted may
be considered to have had a full success. Unfor
tunately his I Ugliness, having been much fatigued
by the sea voyage, has been prevented from at
tending these festivities, but he sent his sons and
his harem instead. The carriages containing tho
latter were broughams, with English drivers, as
usual, and the veils of the ladies inside were so
very thin that it was quite easy to discover that
all that is said about the beauties in the harem is
no mere imagination, but an actual fact. His
Highness left for Tautah on the ".1st ult. to re
turn thanks for his safe return to Egypt, and the
same evening he arrived in Cairo. His stay
there, however, has been a very short one. lfe
having returned to this eitj' yesterday afternoon,
lirigniidnge in Greece.
A correspondent writes from Athens, Aug. 10,
Brigandage is rampant In the Peloponnesus and
Acaruauia, and threatsns Athens. M. Valsa
machi, son of the widow of Bishop Heber, who
married a Greek gentleman, was violently car
ried off by brigands a few days since, and an
enormous ransom is demanded. This gentleman
was manager of an estate at Ali-Chelebi, which
lies within twenty or thirty miles of the large
commercial town of Patras, aud tho estate
belongs to Princess Catharine Soutzso of
Athens, who will probably have to sacrifice a
portion of the property to raise the necessary
cash to recover Iier manager from the hands of
these lawless scoundrels.
Rumors are rife that brigands have seized pas
sengers on the road leading from this city to
Pira'UB, and great anxiety prevails in Athens. It
looks at present like a besieged town. Cavalry
are constantly moving about, and a heavy guard
is mounted on all the neighboring hills. As to
the country-seats in the vicinity, they are com
paratively deserted this summer, aud particu
larly now nobody cares to ruralize in the
vicinity of a brigand-haunted neighborhood.
The Chamber of Deputies is "sitting" in the
midst of all this alarm, and yet no "motion" is
made to institute public measures for the com
mon safety. The Minister of War keeps his
soldiers moving about, and that is all.
The Laborera of Austria.
The introduction of free institutions in Aus
tria has given rise to an important movement
among the workingmen, with the object of Im
proving the relations between them and their
employers. This movement is not confined to
the great industrial establishments, but has
spread even to the smallest trades, such as comb
makers, sweeps, waiters, etc. The question of
trade associations in Austria is at present in a
state of transition. By the existing law trades
unions are forbidden, but the new constitution
contains provisions which nullify this prohibi
tion. The matter was brought forward at the
last session of the Reichsrath, but no decision
was arrived at, though it is known that the
committee of the House which was appointed
to consider the question declared itself in favor
of the legalization of trades unions.
AUSTRALIA.
The Yield ofiiold.
The London Times says that the yield of gold
in New South Wales appears to be increasing
again, 17,0155 ounces having been mined in May
last, against 14,t53 ounces in May, 18(W. In the
live mouths ending May 81, this year, the receipts
of gold from the various gold fields of the colony
ouly amounted to 88,482 ounces, as compared
with iH),!KiO ounces in the corresponding five
months of 18(8. ljuartz mining appears to be
gaining on alluvial mining iu Victoria. Ajreeent
official return shows that quartz mining is nearly
twice as profitable per man engaged as alluvial
mining.
The Berlin fields in Victoria continue to pro
duce nuggets, and tho miners at Spring Creek
uro also reported to bo doing well; an otlicial
return as te the purchases of gold by the banks
at Sandhurst during April shows a total of
18,5!!4 ounces; this was a considerable Increase
upon the corresponding purchases made during
.March. J.ittlo iresii has transpired In Tas
mania with relercnce to
prospecting for gold in
attempt is, however, to
what is known as the
quartz mining or
that colony; an
he made to turn
Tower Hill quartz
reef to account, and steps are being taken to
test the value of certain discoveries alleged to
have been made in tho franklin district. Seve
ral specimens from quartz reefs in the neighbor
hood of Wellington, New Zealand, were recently
submitted to Dr. Hector, to be tested for gold.
Tho Thames gold fields In the north islaud of
New Zealand are inereasii g in importance.
The Thames Gold Mining Company lias In
creased its capital to 110,000, 48,000 of which
is to be at once paid up. JUunng me six mourns
enditi" May 80 the famous Hunts claim at the
Thames gold fields produced lu,74 ounces, of
the value of 4:1,244.
T K X A S.
The Indian ( rln lor Pence.
A correspondent of tho St. Louis
writes from Montague, Texnn. Auunt W, 180. .
"A scout is just lu from Medicine Bluffs. Ho
reports that the Indians are coming into the re
servations. Tribes which had never up eared
before are now coming In, exclaiming, Let us
have peace.' It Is to be hoped that the raids Into
Kansas aud Texas will soon cease. Tho troublo
out here is that the Indians have been sw ndled so
often and so persistently that they have lost faith
in everybody. Stealiug from Indians or swlud lng
them bus been regarded as an honest employ
ment. It has not beeu a question whether tlie
Indians should bn swindled or not, all are agreed
h to that, but who should have the spoils. Mil-
lions have been appropriated to feed, clothe, and
secure peace. It is a fair estimate that three
fourths of all this money has gone into the hands
of swindling officers and contractors. The result
is a breach of faith with the Indians. They did
not, and could not be made to understand why
every promise made them was not redeemed.
With largo perceptive organs, small reasoning
ond intellectual, they saw at once they were
swindled, without being ahlo to comprehend tho
reason why.
"The treaty, for Instance, with the Chcycnncs
called for a certain amount of flour; tho con
tractor undertook to substitute musty meal.
The Indians were outraged, and the whole tribe
took tho war path. The cries of women and
children in Kansas and Texas, and the loss of
many lives, have been tho result. God grant that
the Quakers may le able to get the confidence
of the Indians, and if they make no promises
but what they can fulfil I am sure they will suc
ceed. "1 know some of the Quaker agents. I lived
beside Kcuhen L. Roberts, one of them, in Ohio
for years. He is incapable of a dishonest act,
and" just the tn.-wi to restore confidence among
the Indians. The two Staulejs, of Kansas, are
also honest men, aud, if supported as they
should be, will in time, I hope, convince the 'red
man' that lienor has not become extinct iu the
white race.
"Whcthir the Quakers succeed or not, the
army here is a nuisance. The Indians seem to
delight in playing around it. The army is im
potent, as far a protection to the frontier is
concerned. The killing und scalping of a white
man, or the capture of a family of women and
children, does not cause a ripple on the surface
here. 1 1 is a common occurrence."
UEXEKAMTIGS.
An AMtoninhinK Dlwovery.
The Charleston Ai'WH is astonished to discover
that "under debasing negro rule" South Carolina
will this year yield products worth $50,000,000.
or an average "of &74"ti!l per head in a population
of tO.ddO; that the twelve cotton States "will
show more true prosperity than any other sec
tion of the world;" that the cotton crop will pro
bably amount to Ii, 000,000 bales; that the average
value of all the crops will amount to (H per
head of population, and last but not least ex
traordinary that "there are now no less than
'.'OO.bOO whites cultivating cotton with their own
hands." Clearly, this 'debasing negro rule" in
a lriglitful thing!
Destitution In ludiii.
The destitution in Bundclcund, India, Is still
very grievous. Iu Rcwah nine thousand per
sons are Kept alive by public charity, and in the
neighboring States of Magodo and Sohawul
there is equal distress. The chiefs of the two
States first-named are most liberal in their con
tributions; the last is under British management,
and its resources are taxed to the utmost. In
Malwa scarcely a drop of rain has fallen. Raj
1 ootana draught-cattle are so few; owing to tlie
absence of fodder, that the salt, which is usually
transported on bullocks lrom the Sainbhur Lake,
in Tcypou, to the marts of Central India, goes
by way of Agra, and thence by train to Jubbul
porc instead.
l ord nnd l.ndy Byron.
Of tlie many letters and communications called
out by the publication of Mrs. Stowe's 'True
Story," the latest is a card signed "H. I..," aud
published in the Boston lxdly Adeertiser. The
author says:
"Mrs. Stowe may have fallen into error as to dates.
I trust she lias, ami that, as the Xation asserts, Lady
llyron will tie acquitted of any knowledge of her
husband's real character until the moment 6f sepa
ration. Seventeen years ago I heard this fearful
story of Incest from au Kuglishmau of the very
highest character, mental and moral. He repeated
to me the facts communicated to him by Dr. Lush
lngton, ond within this year his narrative lias been
confirmed by an Knglwhwoiimn who received her
information from Trelawney, li.vron's comrade. The
discussion now foinfr on will probably bring forth
the proofs from those to whom thev have been in
trusted. ue or them will be Ujroii's own confes
sion. H. L."
Wild Hoy In Iowa.
Considerable excitement exists in East Daven
port and Gilbert Town, in consequence of a wild
boy who has been seen by several veracious
individuals prowling about the woods at the
back of Judge Grant's farm and on the river's
bank and islands. About a week ago a man re
turning from a shooting exeurston saw what he
at first took for some wild animal crouching bv
the bank of tlie river. It suddenly plunged in
and emerged with a fisk, which it devoured
ravenously. Getting closer to it he saw that it
was a boy, apparently about fifteen or sixteen,
entirely without clothes, aud covered with light
sandy hair of a silky appearance, Ho plainly
saw the face, and describes It as rcvoltingly ugly
and brutal in its aspect. Ho attempted to ap
proach it, but the creature became alarmed, and,
taking to the water, swum to a neighboring
island and hid iu tlie sedges. On returning
home he gave information, and a close lookout
litis been kept. The creature, whatever It may
lie, has been seen twice since, and this wild boy
of the woods will doubtless be shortly captured.
More Democratic Testimony.
The New York Cilizrn, speaking of the sys
tem of "repeating" by which Hoffman was
elected Governor last fall, says:
"Repeating can bo carried on even where there Is
no false registry, or, to state.it more accurately. Ille
gal ballots can thus be deposited iu place of legal
tint s. Towards the close of election day It will bo
tuuud that a large number of persons who are duly
registered have not voted. The names of these are
copied on" the list and passed out to the repeaters,
who then assume a new ludlviiluality, and vote in
tlie character of the missing citizens If the true
paities turn up afterwanis they are denied the right
o( sintruge, because their names h-ive been fraunu
lently usurped; but this exposure rarely occurs.
We only add these suggestions to tuo art icle in the
Time in order to make it complete, and not wiih the
least expectation that they will awaken the public
to a I nil sense of the situation."

An Jnillumint Wile I'ouikih her military Lord.
Captain Boyd, says tho St. Louis Democrat
of August 8(1, is having a hard time with his
cast-oil wife. The particulars o: her assault
upon him with a carriage whip were duly
chronicled. It was thought that ufter this
public attack she would let him alone, but she
is not that sort of a woman. She warned him
then that she would "give it to him again," and
she kept her word. On Saturday ufieruoon, as
Captain Boyd was walking with a young friend
on Olive street, near Tenth, the la'dy met him,
and springing ou him with the ferocity of a
tiger, struck him upon the head with the handle
ol her parasol. The Captain's glossy silk tile
was Bent whirling through the air, "reminding
him of "the hut trick" of the 1 anion Brothers.
His head received the blow also, but the hat was
the greater sufferer, and will probably require a
new nap.
Smarting with the blow, and feeling called
upon to avenge the iusult offered to his hat, tho
Captain, In a moment of pashion, made use of a
small whalebone cane which ho was sporting,
and returned' the blow by striking bis wife a
light blow on Vhe lace, lie thou took hold of
her, broke the parasol, and begged her to let
him alone. Being disarmed, she now miulo use
of her tongue, bestowing upon him a string of
epithets by no menus complimentary to his
manhood.
The Captain's friend picked up tho damaged
hat, aud tho owner put itou his head aud walked
awav. Tlie lady again warned him that she
was not done with him, and would "give him
fits ' w henever she could meet him. The eccen
tric and violent conduct of Mrs. Boyd is proba
bly caused by her condition she will shortly
become u mother, and feels that sho has been
wronged. If her friends have regard for her,
they t-hould restrain her, and not permit her
to go about tlie streets acting the part of Lola

From the San I'rancUco Bulletin, Aug. 21.
A. T. Farrlsh & Co. received this morning
from Downievillo a nugget of gold weighing 10i
pounds, being almost if not quite tho largest
ever taken out iu this State, and within a few
pounds the largest ever found in modern
LOid mining. The value is about fc&'i.OOO. In
ihe same find 807 05-100 ounces were obtained
iu smaller nuggets from U0 to 75 ounces each;
also one cake of fine gold, retorted, weighing
Ufc01.j ounces. All these are now in Mr.
Karrihh's hands. This extraordinary pile,
-. 52.000, was obtained in one dav by two men,
Horn the Monumental Quartz Aline iu Sierra
liuttes, Sierra county, owned by W. A. Farrish
and others. William Farrish writes that in two
days he would send as much more. Tho vein
varies from one to two feet, and is filled with
decomposed quartz. The gold is obtained by
i-luieiug. using quicksilver to catch the flee par
I ieles. The taihugs only go through an arastra.
'J he Sierra Buttes and tho Independence Mine
nio located on the same mountain. It Is only

THE NEW VOItK MONEY MARKET.
The following extracts show the state of the New
York money market yesterday :
From the X Y. Herald.
"There was a better Inquiry for funds to-day, but
the market could hardly lie termed more active, for
the supply was up to the demand at six and seven
per cent, on call loans wAore the collaterals were
miscellaneous In their character. On Governments
tlie prevailing rate was six per ceut., the exceptions
being fewer at five. Commercial paper was still
quoted nine to twelve per cent, discount for prime
double name acceptances. Foreign exchango bills
were In better demand for the Bremen steamer of
to-morrow.
"The gold market was comparatively dull, the
speculative interest being lugely witudrawu to
sKcks, and tho range lu price was confined to a
limit of three-eighths per cent,, viz., from 13:1 i$
l.w,1... At the decline the market beca.iid firm ou
account of reports of a further decline In rentes at
Talis and a Hat Bourne. It is also apprehended that
the Bank of England may raise tie disco Jilt rate at
the meeting of the directors to-morrow.
"Cash gold was heavier, and the carrying rate
ranged from 4;.j to 6 per cent. The dii'iurseiuents
of coin Interest to-day amounted to $l,7'.i:iM, the
Increase being due to the pay u!ut of the teu-forty
coupons. At the Gold Kxcnaugo Hans the gross

THE SOUTH JERSEY INSTITUTE
Uridirrton nd Its Propcrlty-I-ylnir of Ihe
Inncriptlon Wins of Ihe Month Jersey InMl-Intr-A
Flrnsttnt Dapllnt Reunion Service, of
the Day.
Frem Our Own Correspondent.
Bridgbton, N. J.f 8ept. 1, 18C9.
Tbc city of Brldgeton, the county seat of
Cumberland county, is well favored In Its natu
ral location, affording beautiful views across
broad meadows aud rolling land. Within the
past ten years, especially since tho opening of
the West Jersey Railroad, this city has grown
rapidly, nnd its manufacturing establishment)
have gained a proud position In character aud
aggregate importance. The Nail Mill employs
4(H) hands, pays $5000 weekly for wages, and
has produced 500 kegs of nails in a single day.
The (Hass Works employs 225 hands, nnd turns
out about 1200 pounds of glass dally. The Dia
mond Tacking Company have 250 hands, 175 of
whom are women and children, can weekly
about 25,000 cans of ripe fruits and vegetables,
and do an aggregate business of a quarter of
million dollars annually. Other businesses of
minor importance are carried on briskly.
An Interesting celebration was held in this
city this morning to commemoraate the laying
of tho inscription stone of tho South Jersey In
stitute. The conception of founding thia insti
tution by tho efforts of the Baptist denomina
tion took tangible shape in 1805, and Its success
was early insured by tho liberal donation of over
ten acres of wood lands as a site for its erection.
Liberal subscriptions were promptly made by
other generous friends of the enterprise, and
soon an efficient building committee was consti
tuted, consisting of Messrs. Horatio J. Mulford.
President of tlie Hoard of Trustees; 1-s.uvc W.
Mulford, C. C. Grosscup. Revs. S. (i. Wright, J.
R. Murphy, and J. D. Reed.
The building is located on an elevated piece
of ground ou the west side of Cohansey creek,
iu a pleasant and delightful grove of oak, pine,
aud cedar trees, ou part of tho estate formerly
owned by Dr. Isaac II. Hampton, deceased, now
owned by II. J. Mulford fc Brother. It is
bounded on the west by Atlantic street; on tlie
north by Lincoln street; Cohausev creek is on
the east. On the wct a line view of the couutry
iiud both tides of tlie creek is obtaiued. It con
tains between ten aud eleven acres, and is really
one of the most charming places in the city of
Bridgcton for on institution of learning. The
building fronts the north, and a flue view of the
city and eurroundiug country. and Delaware b.iy
is given from the grounds aud building. The
size of the centre building is 41x58, each wing
5(5x40, making the extreme length 154 feet, and
is of brick, with French roof of slate, tin, etc.
There is a sub-basement under the centre build
ing, divided into live different rooms, besides a
large hall. These roonib are designed for coal
wood, vegetables, ond ore airy, being lighted and
ventilated through areas iu front and rear. The
tloor above sub-basenieut in centre building, and
in wings, is divided iuto halls aud diuing-room,
kitchen, wash, laundry, jauitor, servants, pantry,
closet, and store-rooms. First lioor above t&
divided into spacious halls, school, music, prin
cipal's, reception, drawing, office, library, and
four class-rooms, each ample iu 6izo. Second
floor contains airy halls, principal's room, re-,
ception-rootn, boys' and girls' sitting-room,
bath-rooms, water-closets, and seventeen rooms
for teachers and students. Third floor con
tains omplo balls, twenty-five rooms
lor teachers and students, besides
bath-rooms, water cloets, and linen closets.
The upper floor, which is the French roof
apartments, consists of wide halls, twenty rooms
for teachers and students, a lecture-room or for
other purposes, 36 J by 53, besides rooms in
whicn iron or other tanks will be placed, filled
with water for use of the Institute and in case of
tire. On the roof in centre building is to be a
large observatory for light and ventilation, and
a small one on each of the wings. The whole
building is designed to be complete in all its
parts, and one that will be an ornament to the
city, and creditable to the denomination erecting
it. The building will cost tr25,500.
Tlie services yesterday wero held in the grove
adjacent to the building, and a large gathering
of ladies aud gentlemen wero present to partici
pate in the services, among whom were a num
ber of prominent Baptist clergymen. Horatio
J. Mulford, Esq., of Brldgeton, presided. The
singing of an opening anthem by tho choir, with
an accompaniment upon a flue-toned melodeou,
was followed by an invocation by Rev. N. J.
Hay, Greenwich. Rev. W. R. McNeil, Bridge
ton, read the 46th Psalm. Tho hymn, "Before
Jehovah's Awful Throne," was followed by it
historical statement of the first beginnings and
the progress of the institute, read by Rev. T. ft.
Wright, Roadstown. "All hail the power of
Jesus' name" preceded the reading of the char
ter by Rev. R. T. Young, Haddonflold.
Rev. H. (I. Weston, D. D., President of Cro
y.er Theological Seminary, delivered an excel
lent address upon the purposes of education,
and the peculiar fitnese cf such an institution as
the present one. Ho was glad to have the op
portunity to express his own individual Interest
in tlie appropriation of wealth to such an object
that of itself dignified and ennobled the giver.
He congratulated fhem on tho founding of an
institution of learning that would gather and
garner within itself tho ripest fruits of past
efforts treasures of the knowledge of tho an
cients, iu which men are to pass over tho great
harvest fields that have been sown by the dili
gent hands of antiquity, and to reap dowu the
ripeued fruits of judgment and intellect, of
knowledge, of artistic taste, and of genius.
This school had a deeper and different interest,
being entirely American In Its form and origin.
In it students wero to live as lu thoir old home
steads; students of both sexes wore to be gath
eied, and the peculiar class of studies were to be
zealously fostered by his hearers as Baptists and
as Americans, 'i here wero urgent reasons why,
in general, children should be retained ot home
to have parental supervision; hut In this ease he .
judged the advantages to be gained by the oppo
site course were weighty aud preponderating. In
this way the life of the student is dignified and
ennobled; thus the standard of education Is ele
vated. There is nothing more to be deprecated
in our country than the sinking of man. Hero
man is above his accidents; hero he is above hU
circumstances. A man is bigger than auy-ti.ino-
i, run do: a man is bigger than
anything he can possess; a man is greater than
anything he can gather. "All thoso things aro
admirable," as ouo of tho great orators said:
but what a man is. remains wiui mm forever.
Bin-ines men think thata liberal culture impairs
w;. oh Of S'lOmt llige.
