The hour of the mcotiug being set at so short lu interval eubseqticnl to the publication of the all, there was therefore not a full attendance. Jut those who did attend cvinced the proper pirit. Upwards of eight hundred dollars were 'aided, to be applied to tho neccssary repair# >n the male aeud-.-ruy, and to finish paying for he new and bauddome female academy now ipproaching ita completion.

Wo don't need and wc lon't want collcge* in every village. Good ichools are the idea, and such wc think can lore be found. The female academy building is not to ' surpassed in convenience, taste and elegance b}iny we have seen lately. It is built after a lesign?not the tumbling together of rocks, nortar and lumber as if by a half-tutored earthjuakc. There is science in building, and its genius has been wisely consulted in the erection >f the several new improvements here. The foregoing statements (which should have jecn made last week), with the accompanying lotions thrown in, are freely given, in hope >f at least ri degree of good resulting to the ichools tlicrcfrom.

Editors:?Allow me to prosent' to your renders a few facts in relation lo the ftbovc named Campmccting. .. The situation of the camp-ground in one of great convenience, and soinc beauty, although the close proximity of the railroad subjects the meeting to some disturbances on the arrival and passing of tl>?trains. It is about five miles from Cokesbury camp-ground, vlitck located near the village. Campmceliugs form un indispensable part of Mcthodistiu economy and operations; and whether we regard them in their * iol or religious tendencies, they cannot well c discontinued. True, there are churches nnd organized congregations all over the wholo country, but i > _i i ? wiiiuviiivn lire iiui. imuijii unci, lllHi cnilgn'^Utions <lo not always have that life uinl energy iu religious matters, which their profession and privileges demand. We need something to qiiieken the Church,- and animate the zcalj^l her membership; 6ome feast of tabernacles, 61 general assembling of the masses, that hy r common law of otir nature men may Htimulutu one another to dilligcncu and activity. Man is a gregarious animal, and if you will not furnish an occasion for the gratification of this j propensity under suitable restrictions, he nevei j fails to make one subject to no rule but the most unbridled liberty. No candid observer will conclude tlint tlu occasional and incidental abuses or disturbances overbalance the numerous and substantial benefits thut so oft?n accrue to tlio interests o( religion. The meeting in question was largely attended front the beginning. All the tents were occupied, n>nny of them accouiniodating several families, and although there was n'numeruju attendance ?>f yung persons from the neighbtfr! ing schools of (ireenVood and Cokeabury, und iiiiiiiY en "i cii pcopte iron) ine contiguous plant! utions, uinl tlio convenience of the railroad for the coining uml going of the listless and the wilful, y<:t tlx 1*0 whs the utmost good order from tir*t to hist ns fnr as the writer hnd information'. There was no rebuke dircct or indirect from the pulpit, und the intercourse of tlio people with one another was of the kindest and most cordial nature. There was a large attendance of ministers, and among them much real ability, but the chief object of tlio.se officiating neen>oil to be to "win soulu " by the mo of " words of soberness and truth," and it was lunnuesi ironi numerous and palpable indications that tlieir efforts were not in vain. Conspicuous among tlic clergy were Bishop Cavils jiudDr.TATLonfroni China. BisbopC. hasscrved his day and generation as itinerant Methodist prenchcr near .fifty years, and "his bbw still abides in stre^gtb" m wax obvious to themyl' titudes who waited upon his mlnislrktSon wft>* such veneration and delight on Sunday and Mondav while he nrenolincl nntft tlmm " tlio ki?. pel of the graco of God." We would gladly furnish a synopsis of tha two sermons he preached, but our capacity is inadequate to the task. His appearance' is stiH with admirable grace, and his voico full of mclodj* and power. Dr. T. gave a thrilling account of soma of his toils in his missionary field in China, and while ho gave the incidents of ono of his visits to the camp of the insurgents, full many a one concluded that he was in cool deliberation, and in unblanching, pertinacious courage, akin to old imck oi nuennvistn memory, and Although moro than two hundred dollars had been collected for missions before hi* arrival, the good people contributed in fuvflr of IjTfwSrlr more than one hundred 'and twenty-five dollars. Dear me, how far am I going ? Well, Messr#. Editors, How mc to eoncludo by saying that the capp* meeting was In every respect pleasant and successful; nod'we'eaa only say, thatsuch meetings should continue ten instead of four days, which would make then ten fold mora a blessing in all the objects contemplated or sought to be secured by their in^jEumeotality.

The request was accedcd to, and, on-the f?Jlow?n? I . day, it bundle of papers was brought to him by ; a Government servant, large enough to till it bushel basket, regularly bound up and Healed with the Government seal, and marked 'Onpt. Gibson papers.' The Captain was surprised, but said nothing. When the servant was gone, he opened the bundle and found to his astonishmei.t that it embraced all the State documents concerning his ease; the history of his three 1 S trials in Javn; the secret, correspondence be- i tween the ]>utch Government and the Provincial authorities of the Island; and, in.fine, the secret and otficinl history of the whole atfair. 1 This was tc'o valuable an acquisition on the part of the Captain to allow it to j>ass out VI ins nuiitis witiuniL uii eiiori m retain It, BO the pnckage was immediately despatched to Loii'aon.

But it was too late?the pneknge had left. 1 The (Government was furious towards the Captain, and Mr. Belmont, being about to leave for his residence in Paris, informed hiin that he had better absent himself also, for that, when lie was gone, it would hardly be safe to remain !"
