REPORT,
In making my report, I have not only con
sidered how a given number of pupils may be
seated so as to merely have space to perform
their scholastic exercises and requirements
with ease and in the presence of the teacher,
but I have been governed by a particular re
gard to the preservation of their health, and by
to render the school room a pleasant
and by the fact too, that well ordered
schools or those composed of pupils of
both sexes, each reciting and performing in the
presence, all under the principal superin-

A School House or Academy, has been de
sired, and a House has been built often remote
from a good spring or well, on a naked com
mon or barren waste, where no beauty is, no
fragrant parterre, no delightful grove; nothing
to create or arouse pleasant sensations, no sensi
ble object to win the affections, or engender
happy associations, or to draw and enchanting-
ly bind tho mind to the devotpd spot.—No!
A place has been made “without form and
void,”—a prison house, into which numbers
far disproportionate to its healthful capacity
have stowed as captive slaves into a ships hold,
inhaling a vitiated atmosphere to the destruc
tion of their health and comfort, and to their con-
seqent hindrance froffi progressing delightfully
in their scholastic exercisps. As one step to tho
Removal or prevention of all these evils,-1 pro
pose the following dimensions of a house, for
the accommodation of 50, 70 or 90 pupils:—
A single storied House (elevated 4 or 5 feet
above the ground,) 12 feet pitch, 45 feet long,
from east to west, 28 or 30 feet wide, with a
small room in one or in each corner of one end ?
and in one of which shall be the stairs to; thp ypf-
per or loft room. Between these rooms a ros-
frum. or stage may be occasionally erected for
exhibitions. On each side of the House a pi
azza eight feet wide; and a folding door at cacli
end of.both sides of the house, except the pri
vate room corners, where the out doors shall
be twelve feet or more from that end. Four
w‘indow$ (of 15 8 by 10 panes) to each side,
and three to each end of the House. Tiie
windows to be regularly disposed and so that a
|Telegraph or black board, or large map may
be conveniently suspended against the wall
between any two of them. On the top of tho
house, either in the centre or at one end, a bel
fry or steeple, and beneath one of the piazza
floors a secure repository for fuel. I would
have th'e house at least 50 or 60 yards from any
road or public route, and much farther from a-
ny dwelling house tavern, store, or place of
public resort. The School House in or near
the cerdrc of an extensive yard well paled, and
ornamented with handsome trees, such as the
Aspen or the Prido of India, immediately a-
bbut-thc house ; and tho ground around just
inside tftb paling, prepared and properly divi
ded to exercise and improve the taste and skill
of the pupils (particularly the females) in bo
tanical pursuits. Within 20 steps of the house,
a well of water, so housed and covered as to
secure young pupils from danger. Sucli a house
may bo built for 7 or 800 dollars.
For the FURNITURE, I would recom
mend tho following articles: Teacher's elesk,
42.inches high in front," and 36 inches wide,
placed in the centre of one side of the room, with
a platform next die wall to elevate the Teach
er’s chair. Study tables or pupil's desks, 27
ihehes high iu front and twenty-eight behind,
the inclined part seventeen inches wide, and the
horizontal part eight inches, framed and cased,
so as to have an ripen repository 6 or 7 inches
deep,' for books, &c., below, and whose bottom
shall he Tt inches wide extending to the back
but not to the front: these desks to be so long,
or rather, so many in number, as to occupy
respectively the space on each side of the room,
n6t opposite to the doors, and leaving also a
behind the teacher’s chair, and one moving on
a vertical pivot on a post near the centre of
the room so that either side of ft may be turn
ed in any direction. ‘Several others portable
by young people would be desirable. I would
have the following large maps: one of the State,
one of the United States, one of Europe, anil
one of the world, together with a box of disscct~
ed .Maps. Also a pair ofGlobcs with compasses
placed in a chest against the back of the Teach-
i desk. A small Orr.cn/ would riot be in the
way. And from what I have heard of it I
would recommend Iloi.brook’s set of apparatus
for various demonstrations. Without addin
to the preceding list auy -chemical or other
philosophical apparatus. No doubt, many
persons may think the arrangement here pro
posed in apparatus, furniftire, house, yard; See.
unnecessarily fine and costly, and much uiore
expensive than were tliosg. from which have
emanated some of our Sjnarte$t men. B t of
any caviller I ask, how many of our miserable
contrived and furnished edifices for learning,
have turned out a majority, or even a goodly
proportion of their jnipils smart, or property
taught riien, and pleased with the fdcdlfcctiori
of school room scenes! Or how far removed
is his own association of ideas on this subject,
from dulncss, sameness, monotony, confine
ment, restraint and Bridewell 1 liow different
froui what it might "have been! Does not ev
ery reflecting man know of the influence exer
ted by pleasant externa! objects, on a mind tlie
least disposed to meditation? And, is this in
fluence less operative on the juvenile than tho
mature mind! It is not; the mind though
young, but much accustomed to contcplpldte
any assemblage of pleasant scenery, rccthrs to
it with delight a'rid leaves it with regret. Make
tiie scenery of the school room and house im
posing, and its general aspect and circumtancc
more pleasant than many other good places
are, and the pupils (from those places at least)
will almost invariably pride themselves in hav
ing a seat in it. Let'tliem have a local attach
ment to tho academy, and they will niprg
r adily encounter any severity of scholastic
discipline, moral culture and reformation, mere
ly in order to be there. It is hoped that no-
tlijng qjtlier proximatolv, or remotely calculat
ed to advance the great cause of moral a fid hi?
tellcctual improvement, will longer be neglect
ed ; and that all and every mean will be sought
for and prosecuted with that degree of ard >ur
which the everlasting importance of our sub
ject demands. . .

others may be seated or by two ranges equidis

of these aJ idianal tables, must occupy one

DEFEAT
We learn by this arrival the entire defen?6f the

stated that tho purport of the bill was to limit the
existence of slavery in the colonies to three years,
a lid that it was not the intention of the govern
ment to offer auy compensation to the planters or
proprietors.
In eousequonce of these rumors, a deputation
of gcuilemcu connected with the est Indies
waited iipou Lord Grey, and had an audience of
the uobln Earl at tho Treasury yesterday alter-
uooit. They requested to be informed whether
jt was true that it was the jutention ot-ilic Gov
ernor to^cmaucipate the slave population ? 1 he
answer we .understand ivus itl tfie affirmative;
and that a biil for that purpose would, on an ear
ly day; be submitted to the consideration of the
new Parliament. It was also intimated that
three years would be The period fixed for the ex
tinction of slavery—that tile emancipation of the
negroes would be unconditional,.ami that no com
pensation, except under special'circumstances,
would be allowed. •. , T
S ir Alexander Grant, who headed tho deputa
tion, inquired of tiie noble Premier, whether it
was ilia intention of Ministers to announce? this
important measure iu the speech from the throne
at thempeuing of the sessiun. Lord Gray replied
that.the measure had been formally decided upon
but lie could uut without departiug froui the rules
of courtesy, give any iritimatioriof the Sentiments
which his Majesty would communicate in his ad
dress to both houses of Parliament.
Upon it being represented to the noble Earl the
probable cousequeiicc which might ensue iu the
colonies iu case those measures were prematurely
announced, his Lordship intimated that the gov
ernment were prepared to meet the exigencies,
aud that au imposing force, consisting ot 15,01)6
men, would forth worth be sent lt> the West Indies.
This is said to be the purport of the convert a-
tiou which took place, after which the deputation
withdrew, and.cpimnumcafed the-result to' their
fijiei'ds iu the city. \V e beg it to. be understood
that we make these statements upon the rumors
which wore generally circulated in the city yes
terday among the West Jmiia circles.
This afternoon the business of the Colonial
market has beyn suspended py the anuouuccmeut
that his Majesty ’s ministers have made slavery a
cabinet question; report adds that slavery will
be abolished iu three years, and that uo cotnpcn
sation will begii’eu. This.auupucenicut has oc
ensioned .great agitajjou, and. most of the West
India planters have withdrawn their sugars from
sale, to await the issue of great event!

ThV 1'oilowing. a^coent of a great battle be
tween the armies of the grand Sultan, and the
Egyptians, in which the former was defeated
with the capture of the Grand -Vizier,' [the
Prime Minister of Turkey] istho most impor
tant item by this arrival. It is as follows:
Constantinople, Dec. 26.—The greatest
gloom prevails here. Tho Sultan aud his
people appear to have fallen into a state of
apathy, indicative of a total dissolution. - The
former had giveft up his case as desperate, and
riot venture to excite the people’s minds by ar
tificial means, test he should not be able calm
them again and keep them within bounds.-
The unfortunate result of the battle of Koniah,
and the captivity of the Grand Vizier, leaves
the capital without means of defence. Thdri
(the particulars,
giveu tiejow) appear* to have excited groat inter
est m tho capitals of the chief European powers.
The destruction of the power of the Grand Seign-
or was seriously apprehended. Russia, itis said,
was hastening to Ins succor, bnt demanded, as
the price of tier iqtorveniira,' the ccssiou of the
entire principalities of Moldavia anti Watincbia.
"To this project of iqgraudizenient.oa.tbc part of
the emperor Nicholas, England, Fra rice aud Au
stria have, it is asserted, expressed their decided
dissent, aud that a French fleet under. .Admiral

the liospliorus, tho Admiral being instructed to
act as a negotiator, or to assume a more warlike
character, as circumstances might render expedi

a similar, errand; all agree that England ami
France are acting ou tlnsoccasiou w ith a perfect
conformity of view.
The acc*uuts from Ilollaud show indications
of a desire on the part of the Dutch people that
tbs question with Belgium should be immediate
ly settled. The Ilandelsblad of Amsterdam, an
influential aud well edited paper, expresses a de

HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO THE WEST
INDIES.
We copy the following from the London Globe
reserve, but their spirit does not correspond
with the threateniug danger, nor is there any
able leader possessing Sufficient self confidence
and who is'considered as able to restore good
fortune to the standards of the Sultan. - Red-
schid Pacha was the only man possessed of
these qualifications. His former good ffftune
hits deserted him, and gone over to his young
er adversary.
Ho fought vnjhmtly, and when his defeat
was decided, devoted hinjsel! to death, •which
however, lie did not find. Superior to his ad
versary in the number of his troops, he unhap
pily did not act with prudence, which an able
General should never lose sight of. He re
solved on the 21st to figllt a battle whicli-should
dec do tho campaign at one blow. With this
view lie followed Ibraham into the defiles, of
Karaman to attack him there. His measures
were nearly as follows:—the main body of the
Sultan’s troops, about 42,000 in number, chie
fly Albanians, and 500 of the Grand Vizier’s
household troops' under, his otVn command,
were to make the principal attack on the cen
tre of the Egyptian*, while the Turkish caval
ry divided intp two corps of 6,000 men each,
was to engage the wings of Ibrahim, who per
haps gutsses this plan, and favored by the defiles
had sent strong columns agains the Grand Vi
zier’s wing; leaving in the centre only sufli-
dc"ut troops tp cover. hS movements. He had
scarcely readied the extremity 6f the wings of
the Grand Vizi t, when- he, impetuously at
tacked the Turkish calvary and dispersed it,
and attacked the Grand Aizier himself on both
flanks. : • .
Unprepared for this attack, and engaged
with the Egyptian centre, which had already
broken, lie hastily collected some of tlse best
troops to oppose tho Egyptians, but in vain.—
Nothing remained but to make the enemy pay
as dear as possible for.the victory; which was
unavoidable; this, was done, and the Egyptians
did purchrsp' their triumph by a sanguinary
conflict of six hour’s duration. The loss on
.each side was nearly equal. When the Alba
nians were dispersed, the Grand Vizier, will
his faithful household troops, defended himself
to the utmost, till he was Wounded and taken
prisoner. Tho Egyptians are said" to bo now
so.weakened*'that even now; if the'Turkish
troops in'Asia Minor could be assembled .quick
ly enough, tiiey might be compelled to make
a most dangerous retreat. But they need not
fear this
Thci e is r.d genius or spirit ill the councils
of the Sultan, meantime tho Emperor Nicho
las is acting with the greatest magnanimity.—
Gouiii Miuawiefl is gone to Alexandria to try
to make peace, and is to threaten Mehemet
Mi with the displeasure of the Emperor, who
will consider him as a rebel against the Sultan
if lie does not return to bis obedience.

It is asserted that the Prussian Cabinet has
at length resolved to assist the King of Holland
in conjunction with Russia, and that arrange
ments to this effect, will be made early in the
spring. It is added that the Prince Royal, who
lias always been in favor of the Dutch, has
been for upwards of a-ycar in secret corres
pondence with the Emperor Nicholas.
Mr. Pease, the Quaker member, had bee:

, Ti e King of England’s speech to the British
Parliament, was delivered 011 the oth February.
We think the language ib regard to Ireland its
-fliost important feature. Ills ministers cv;
dently require to be clothed with some extra
ordinary powers, -probably that of declaring
martial law to exist throughout the country.—
The tithes are probably x to be Koine by the
Laudlord, \vith 4i1e power of commuting for
them with the Government as in England.
. The accounts from CQttstantinoble are to
the 6th January from which it appears that the
Sultan, in the extremity of distrtss to which
the total defeat sf the army under . the Grand
Vizier, had reduced the Ottoman Government,
had accepted the offer of assistance made by’
the Emperor of Russia, add that General Mur-
avieff had already set out for Egypt to demand
the submission of the Viceroy to the Sublime
Porte.
It is added that a Russian fleet was expect
ed tit Constantinople,- for the purpose of pre
venting the passage of the channel by the E-
gypjiau army, which was supposed to be ad
vancing on the capital.
Canton dates to the 3d November, had been
received, which states every thing was quiet
in China, the late rebellion having been near
ly subsided; many United State vessels were
there fat teas and silk goods, which are said to
have advanced in price.
A successful sortie lias-been ntnde from O-
porto by the new commander, General Solig-
nac, bui it docs not seem’ to have'been attend
ed with any’ decisive effect. A Bordeaux pa
per say s that letters have been received from
Madrid which state tha! Sir Stratford Canning
had concludcj a treaty with the Spanish Gov
ernment, in virtue of which Donna Maria was
to be.amioimceci absolute Queen of Portugal,
but is not to marry an English, French, or
Spanish Prince. XVe suspect that little cre
dence is due ttt tip’s intelligence. There are
some allusions in the accdirMs from Spain of
the prevalence of Cholera in Oporto.
Matters between Holland and .Belgium do
not appear to have made any’ progress towards
a settlement, on" the Ooutfsrjr -..a - mcasti$» has
probably been taken by tho King of Holland
which may produce difficulties. He has impo
sed a tariff on the cargoes of vessels passing up
the Scheldt, and subjected the navigation of
that river to extraordinary regulations. The
fact was communicated to the beigian cham
ber by Mr. Osy, a member and chief of cue of
tiie most distinguished commercial houses of
Antwerp. The ministers of Leopold content
ed themselves with saying that they had receiv
ed no official communication on the subject.
Some highly interesting dccates have taken
pla.es.in tho British Parliament on the custom
ary address iff:the Kirig after his speech on the
opening of tiie session. We have not the ad
dress itself, but it is probably little more than
an echo of the speech. The part relating to
Ireland, where the King asks to ho. clothed
yith additional powers “for coriti'olling and
punishing the disturbers of the public poace,”
engaged almost exclusively’ the attention of the
House of Common*. Mr. O’Connell moved
“S tiff emenument, that a committee should be
ormad to enquire into the state of Ireland, it
was lost, 49 only rising in its faVor; and 428
against it. A second division took place on
an amendment offred by Mr. Tenny son, to the
effect that the House would not grant any ex

suppression of disorders which n-filict Ireland
This amendment was also last, 69 voting in its
favor and 293 against iu Tiie address as or
iginally proposed was then carried without a
division. The Repealers are thus but in small
force. Of the 40 members who voted with Mr.-
O’Connell there were 35 Irish, 5 Fnglish, Mr.
Cobbett, Atwood, Hunc, Faithful and Felrien
undone Scotcli member, Mn Kinjocb. The
measures which the Government intend to pro
pose for tho pacification of Ireland are stated
to the following:—
‘‘A law is to be introduced providing.—1.
Thai in tdl - capital cases connected with the
existing disturbances," upon* a suggestion espe
cially to. be defined, the venue may be laid .in
England.—2. That tho Lord Lieutenant may

That in the disturbed districts of Ireland cer
tain military tribunals shall be established;
these tribunals to be composed of a captain and
four subaltern officers,, to have power 16. pro

carried into execution instantcr upon conviction
and without appeal. The Catholic priests to
be taken into the pay of the Government.

A NIGHT OF HORRORS.
Trcmenduous
Nantucket, March G.
Storm.—The most terrib!
torin experienced by the inhabitants of Kan
ackct in the course of tho current winter «'-*
urred on Saturday evening last. We had beer
presented with a profuse specimen of the bj",
day; but
ies of the season on the previous
nore mild and gracious temperature seemed to
:ave ensued—the slcighintr was tolerably smooth
ind tempting-—there was much warmth in t |,„
sunshine at noon day, and a promise, in the s
pect of the heavens, of continued calmness anj
forbearance.—Accordingly, a party of son;.
twenty or thirty’ gentlemen, studious of anm-V
ment, and flattered by’ the fair feeling of the rre
mosphere, betook themselves to their sleighsfor
a jaunt to tho Sisasconset, with intent to retn-p.
ere niglu-fall. The outward journey pleasant,
ly’ passed off—the more circumspect tarried bn*
briefly. Sonic remained, however, until t 0 .
wards sunset, having then to undergo a near!-,-
seven miles ride to town.
In the mean time the cold northwest v.-i-:,)
arose. The ground was covered with a C oat
of snow, dropped the preceding day iu fii lc
particles, varying in depth from an inch to t« 0
or three feet. The earliest deserters reached
home in safety ; but for those who delayed de
parture a severe destiny was in store. Ere the
sun went down, a violent gale was in full b) as! .
The buoyant, yet hard frozen atoms of sura-
were suddenly, converted into a .moving and ir
resistible super-mundane torrent, sweeping hor-
izontalty; with furious and fearlul celoritv, iu
direct opposition to the course to be pursued
by travellers from Sisasconscnt towards tou a .
The effect was both blinding -aud suffocating'
Nothing could b»: seen, even at the distance «f
a yard, on the north, cast, or west—and the
very licrses seemed to struggle for the power
of breathing. At about 7 P. M. the last freight
of sleighers arrived in town, reporting that at
the moment of, departure three other sleigh
were ready harnessed to follow. Half an boa
elapsed—but no other appeared. The temp
est had grown into a perfect tornado. Tb
thermometer bad sunk to within 6 degrees of
zero. People’s, eyelids aud nostrils, when
turned to windward, were instantly filled with
the frigid elements of the storm, aud at race
collapsed iti frost, or painfuily’-rinjured. Pres
ently, the bell of the South Tower began to
toll: and to those who could hear it amid the
din of the storm, a more dismal kneel had re-
ver sounded. -Flic alarm increased. A num
ber of brave follows, in defiance of the-spiteful j
blast and smothering snows, proceeded to the ,
southern extremity of the town, carrying thith
er several tar-barrels, aud there set fire to
them that the light of these, together with the
lone of the bell, might serve as cinders to the
missing- wanderers,' Others, equally hardy
and adventurous, manned three or four spa
cious vehicles upon runners, and went srnfie
miles unavailinglv in search of the alleged lost
ones. The hours rolled on; no tidings of the
absent Came with the lapse of time; and many
utterly despaired of their recovery.
In the height of ail this consternation ari
commotf'mythe awful cry of “fire” was heard!
in'.which direction? demanded some one run
ning cut of the Commercial News Roam. “In
the northwest,” was the reply. The resdet
Who knows any tiling of our location can easi

nouncement. The wind sat in that quarter-
arid a fire commencing there, at such a mo

created by the sudden necessity of more as*
p!e fires upon the hearth. But such was tl*
general agitation, that perhaps not one half IK
housekeepers in town retired to their beds Id
the night. The town watch was doubled, aid
about one hundred brave fellows voluntarily
added their services.
Before sunrise off Sunday morning, scr.
persons who had been on tne watch, ascended | |
the tower oj" the South Church, an ! looking in
the direction of the spot where the bonfire had
been kindled, discovered certain objects which
in the extremity of their apprehension, they
took to be wrecked sleigh, with a dead hors’
attached, and sundry human bodies lying near.
And now a new pursuit commenced. Onck-
sejCjnspCtlida, the magnified ruins of life and
property were found to be but disperse-!
fragments of the half-consumed tar-barrels.—
But the search was continued, and at length
the missing individuals were found at separate
farm-houses situated some miles apart, aid
wide from the principal road on either side,
safe and sound; though in getting thither the/
had endured sufferings which they were u:u-
