When thev have taken as much beer as they desire, they separate to reti*rn to their lodgings, or to go in quest of some mischief. That quarrels and fights of all sorts should take place, is only what might be expected. And yet the greater number may generally be said to be studious, and many profoundly so.' There is very little religious influence exerted by the professors in these universities By far the greater part are supposed to caro very little for religion?Many of them class Christianity with those religious systems wh.ch time has abolished. 4 In one of the most distinguished universities in all Germany, out of some sixty prolessors, regular and irregular, not mere than fifeen or twenty are at all in the habit of going to any church whatever. Very few even of the theological professors ever pray with their classes. There are, however, some such men as Proof. Tholuck, who take the deepest interest in promoting real piety among tiieir pupils. O si sic omnes ! In this most important respect our AmerL can colleges, theological schools, and academies, have infinitely the advantage over the German univerities and gymnasia."

Honest Grant.?The immediate ancestor of Lord Gl?ne!g was among his commercial connexions known by t.ie familiar honor ible cognomen of "Honest Charles Grant," and which he acquired by the following circumstances:? At an early pariud of his career as a merchant, the tide of wealth, which had gradually flowed in upon him, suddenly ebbed, and left him stranded, having lost all but reputation, which remained unim peached and unsullied When his atTatrs were wound up, such was the confidence which his integrity, thus tested, had produced, that he again commenced business, and was eminently successful. The first use he made of his newly-acquired wealth was to pay the whole of his former creditors in full, with interest 0:1 their respective debts, although ih *y had legally 11 > claim on him, having accepted the composition, and given him a full discharge. Tnis was not all. lie was guardian to the ch.Uren of an eminent civilian, and iho property of this family had boon swallowed up in the general wreck. He not only repaid this sum with (uteres*, but at a subsequent pe. riod he considered that, as a faithful guardun, he was bound to improve his trust by all possible means, and that on this principle the family entitled to compound interest lor the whole lime, which, :u the then very high rate of interest in India, amounted to a very considerable sum. He computed the amount and actually paid the whole additional sum to the family, and this at a time when his own family was by no means fully provided for, and when in uu ordinary inind, their claims would have successfully ? ?.?? /?/! ... ?!. ?k/i ?->->n.n ciiiTfroGtiunc i\t CUlfi^CIUU Willi HIV IIIVIV JU^gVJUW.IV V. -W.." scwnce. Printing For the B/n I.?A sight of the most imeres ing description that can well be imagined, was exhibited in the 11 gii Church, Glasgow, on Sunday. Ail the young inmates, male and female, of ta* Blind Asylum, appeared together at t. e service?for the first time in this* part of the country--with their own newly-printed raiseJ letter Psalm Books. Wnen the Psalm was given out, they se -mod generally to find the place wiih us much fucdity us their next neighbours who were blesse i with O , vision ; and it was most gratifying to ob. serve that they could foliow the line with perfect precision. Tae ancient Greek and Roman table. ?Tne difference between the diet of .he an. cients and that of as moderns, is very striking. The ancient Greeks an J Romans used no alcoholic liquor, it being unknown to them ; nor coffee, nor tea, nor chocolate, noi sugar, nor even butter ; for Galen informs us he haJ seen bu ter but once in fiis life. They were ignorant of the greater number of our trophica: spices, as clove, nutmng, mace, ginger, Jamaica pepper, cayane, pimento. Tiiey used neither buck1 _ I? f t ; j. wneai nor r rcucn ouans, iur spuiuiu, nor sago, tap oca, sulep. urtow root, nor potato or its varieties ; nor even the common, but a sort of marsh grown bean ; nor many ot our fruits, as the tamarind, orange, nor American maize. On the other baud, t ey ate substances which we now neglect?the mallow, the herb ox tongue, the sweet acorn, the lupin. Tney used greatly rtd_ ish, lettuce sorrel. They liked the llesh of wild ases, of little dogs, of the dormouse, of the fox, of the bear. They eat the fl^'sh of paroquets, and other rare birds, and lizards. They were fond of a great many fish, and shell fish, which we now hold in no esteem. They employed as seasonings rue and assafcetida,?Dr. Dick's Diet, and Regimen. Great expectations aru entertained, in Mississippi, of bunding up a city en the Gulf ol Mexico, as t!ic commercial emporium of the Southwest, particularly of that State. The Free Trader, of Natchez, as. sures us that " neither New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola nor Charleston, can hold competition with the vast natural advantagesof Mississippi city as a seaport of the first magnitude and having given it this lofty cnaracter, very naturally adds, that ;t will be always "a matter of surprise" that it was not sooner appropriated. It is situated on the main land near Bolixi Bay, and, as described, was formed by Nature to be positively the greatest port in the world. So say the Mississippians. t Captain Chase, of the Engineer Crops, whose untiring and liberal enterprises in behalf of Pensacola sro ?o we!' Known, has, however, a word to say \et in behalf of that port as the greatest seaport on the Gulf. A long communication, published by him in rite [ Pensaco'u Gazette, reiterates the grounds i of his confidence in the future supremacy : of Pensucola.?Mobile Commercial Regis\itr. J The Book making Business.?The fol j lowing is an extract from a lecture on ' printing, delivered some time since before the Portsmouth Lyceum, and afterward published. After speaking of the establishment of the Harpers, at New.York, tha author says, " At Braitleboro', in our sister state, Vermont, is one which is deserving i of notice. The printing establishment there : keeps in operation [several] power presses.
