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. . .

Take a tight box or a tub, cover the bottom with small stone the ends of the room so much as to allow pas sage between their ends and the side tables. (Fop the Convenicncy of placing at least a part of them out .of the way, and out of harm’s way, under the rostrum or stage, during the time of a public exhibition, none of tho 431*105 shoukjf be more thairten feet long*) The front of the tables to be placed about thirty inches from the wall, so that a pupil leaving his seat may pass out in rear of his class mates, or between them and the wall.

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.

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. of Jan. 20. TI10 W/ist India interests were thrown into considerable alarm yesterday hy a report that it was the intention of Ministers to introduce a bill into this new Parliament for the immediate eman cipation of the slaves iu me West Indies. It was 14DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND, Tho packet shipRhone,'Capt/ Rockett, ar rived yesterday front Havre whence she sailed orr the Jl’tli February. Wc have deceived by this vessel Havre papers to the 18th Feb. and Paris dates ol the 17ill. The' London dates they contain are to the 15th.—-V. Y. Pa. 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: adiiiitted to hi* seat in the House of Commons on making a simple affirmation. 1 lie repot of the Solicitor Gene ral iu Iris favor was unan imously adopted, amidst immense cheering. The Austrian Government has contracted ; loan of forty millions of florins, with tho hous es of Rothschild of Frankfort, London, Par; and Vienna, at 89J, interest 5 pef cent. Accounts from Madrid of the 7th, speak o; sending an army of 10,000 men to the iiotitiers of Portugal, to be called a cordon sanitaire the pretext for which is the existence ol the ch flora at Oportol , 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 traordinary powers to the Government for the 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.

That tho Lord Lieutenant may in certain describe cases?isujbject.tyy proclama tion any part of Ireland to martial law.—3.

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 ly imagine the horror inspired by suck an an nouncement. The wind sat in that quarter- arid a fire commencing there, at such a mo ment, unless install ly quenched, must have de molished half the town. Let even the stran ger to our islaiid fancy to himself a communi ty of ZjOOO-souTs, dwelling in a town compact ly built of wood, upon a little spot of sand c- merging from the Atlantic, at some thirty miles' distant from the continent: let him rc- alizff.tlm implacable and crushing violence of the rtorm then sweeping over this isolated dot in tlje map of creation—its harbor filled, aud iu shores), to an extent unmeasurable, surrounded with ice—and tiie chilling sense of oar immi- •nent Jtcril may possibly present itself.

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- ble to describe, and which their exhaust^ condition probably prevented them from *fu!ly realizing.
