The only required preparation for admission will be good character, over nine years of age, and exemption from all illegal and base asso ciation, and no students refused because of being graduate s. An effort merely to please a people, being the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty alone will lie the Polar Star taught; and no Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col lege.

(|MIF, great, and important events—Religious, Political, _L and .Military—now agitating the nations of tlie Old W orlil, give to these Publications tin interest and value they never before possessed. They occupy a middle ground between the hastily written news items, crude speculations, and tlyiug rumen of the newspaper, and the ponderous Tome of tlie historian, written long after tho living interest in tho facts he records shall have [Hissed away. The progress ol’ the War in tho East occu pies a largo spare in thoir pages. Every movement is closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from tho Crimea rtnd from tho Baltic in Blackwood'sMagazins, from two of its most popular contributors, give a mors intelligible and reliable uccount of tho movements of the grout belligerents that can elsewhere be found. These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi cal parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Badical,— but politics forms only ono feature of their character.— As Organs of the most profound writers on Science, Lite raturn, Morality, and Religion, they stand, us they ever have stood, unrivalled in the world of letters, being con sidered indispensable to tlie scholar and the professional mum while to the intelligent render of every class they furnish a more com-i-t and satisfactory record of tlio ns lent literature of tho day, throughout the world, thun call ho possibly obtained from any other source.
