Pintelli rd. from the information of the appropriation of the accessible regions of the -, which should he impres. the American public.-Globe. BosON, May 1, *842. Sir-Thinking it may be interesting or important to you to know of some or the late operations aend present plans of tie British Hudson's Bay Company in tho North Paci6c ocean, I beg leave to pre sent to your notice same facts in relation to the same. and whi Wlave come to my knowledge front personal observation. or from sources entitledAo the fullest credit. All thit extensive line of coast compre. bending the Russian possessioni oi the northwest coast of America, from Mount St. Elias south to the latitude of 510 40' north, (the last being the lioundary-line he tween the Russian and American territo ries) together with the sole and ex'!usive right or privilege of frequenting tll ports. bays, sounds. rivens, &c.. witnin sail trri tory. and establishing forts and trading with the Indians, has been leaqed or 2rant tk ed by the Russian-A mericau For Compa 1v. for the term of ten years from Jnua ry. 1842; and for which the latter are o pay. a-nually. four thousand fur seal sins. ,or the value thereouf in money. at ue ra o of thirty-two shoillings each-say ?tG,400 sterling, or $30.620. In the above named lense the Itusinn have. however, reserved to thenselves the iilund of Siska, or New Archansel; in which place. you probably are aware, the Russians have a large settlement-the de pot and headquarters of their fur trade witi Fox islands, Alkutian islands, and the con tinetatal shore west ward of Mount St. Eli. as. All the tradin; establishnents of the Russians lately existing at TummatsSick Tie. and other places within said territory. leased to the Hudson's Bay Cotipany. have of con.equcice been brokenti o. Thus the 4-4jdson's Bay Compmty, not content with monopoliziig the heretofore profitable trade of the Aimcricans, (if sup plying theRussian settlements on the iort h west coast. have now completely cut thtim ol'also from all trado with the most valu able fur regions in the world. Whether the arrangements made be twoen sheRuitsians and English. above alluded leare confornable ;o the treaties existing between the United States on the one part, and those naniiins respectively on the other. I leave to your bettcr knotsl edge to determine. With the doincs of the Hudson's ly * Company at Pugetb Sound alnd the Co lumbia river, you are doubtless fully in formed; those. h-owever, lately commenced by theat in Califorma will admit of my saying a few words. At Sun Francisco they have purchased * ina i anadan&_etabuhmoent, and depot for merchandise; and they in tend this year to have a place of the same kind at cachi of the principal ports in Up per California. Two vessels are buildimg in London. intended for the same trade thdt is, for h.e constintg trade; and after comtpletin2 their cargoc-, to entryv themt to every indicatnon int hn i, the puOrpo)c ufitie Hudson', Ba-, tni'.ny :"i mnoOpoltze the whole hide andu taa trade ot the coast of Caliia-a ttade which now employs more than halt a miltlion of A sner ican capital.

Genthmrn.-The great inconvenience. tou ble and vexation, whirl teaehers in the coun try. too often experience. from the inability of' p..teni to preoiure uiatable books for their chil chemn. call hamdly for a remedv. which I think is in %on powi er to apply, and which I feel a%r. ed %, ill meet the cordial approbation of every pareit tm the i)istrict. who wishes his child pro.. perly aid weli instructed. A merchaumt at Edgefield C. H . told the wriL ter of thi article, tf-ut he was ah-ays at a loss in purchaing school books; for almost every teacher diff,-rod in his choice; the consequenco of whichl i-. the merchant is ultimately left to make his own selection. and not unfrequently purcmases b mkm which are seldom called for, and thereby sustaining a loss. The remedy I would propose, is that the teachers shomil meet in conveition at die Court House, and there, after a' free conversation, unite upon a cite-mce -l books for elementary in striction to be uismd in die difr-renit %choolp. in the district. The inerchint would then know what books to purciase, and the almost certain. ty -I* their sale. womuld induce min tm be well supplied. .md the teacher he enabled to keep up his clusse. witihout diiculty. The almo'st natral consequence of a misce. laneous selectoii of school books. is that the teacher has frequently to make three or four elaPs s. where t.ere Aiould be but one, therebv, aihough imcreasing his own labors to a great e,, tt. actually depriving his students ofa por tion ot attention that could otherwi-e be be. otowed. Every teacher in the country has pro. heably experiencec! something like the follow. min:-Five or six children enterwho are ed. vaIcm:d iearly alike, each brings a different bok, or probably some finime at all.

Another advantage likei to be derived fhom such a iepmtie,-a. is the recotmmendation af a iumber of books for fire-side reading, which would probably induce the nerchants, or some one. to keep a supoply. his,. at first view, may appear dictatorial, but when it is known, that teaciers are frequently appled to by parents. to select -:,m I ooks as they would recommend ,o bem pliace d tm time hands of their children, with '1he cizidid ac,.mon' ledgemm that they arc uam le t.' chaoo~e it il "nib be vie-wed as an ef.
