The London Times, conscious of the great truth enunciated in the stirring verse of Sir M'i! t liara Jones, that “men constitute a State,” gladh 1 welcome hack to the British Kingdom the stout < hearts aud brawny arms of its Irish refugee sub jects. If this be a gain to the soil, the labor, in- i dustry and strength of England, it is in exact pr. ( portion a loss to America. The Loudon Thn< thanks American Know Nothings ft r this boon i, Britain, and it truly points to Irish •‘fortunes” in this country under the influence of a wild and un wise spirit of proscription, as the cause of this turning back of the tide of Irish exodus. The Tribune tries to break the force of this truth in Hi following paragraph: “The Irishman returns to his owucountry.be j ( cause it is a better country than it was when lit left it. He would never have left it had it been comfortable as it now is. He does not return to it - because his condition here is less favorable than r was—for it has not changed. The field is as open now to him for comfort aud success among us a - ever was. The change is on the other side, not ( in this country .” * “ His condition is not changed” in this country!' We should like to hear the testimony of the Irish citizens in Louisville, Cincinnati and New Orleans! on this subject. We should like to have the opin ion of every foreign-born Catholic in the country, whether his position lias not changed, when a great and infuriated party rises up in the country, makes war upon his religion, brands him as owing a trai torous allegiance to a foreign spiritual potentate, questions his patriotism and denounces him as " unworthy to hold any position of public honor or trust. What sort of stuff' is it supposed that for eign-born citizens are made of, that they do not 1 recognize and keenly feel the “change” from their former condition of welcome, peace and happiness, under their own roof-trees, and as equal participa tors in our common liberty of person and of eon- j science, to that of a people, marked and proscribed, , religiously and civilly, by the native population, j. They do tool it. We have heard the plaint front their lips an hundred times, and we have been ashamed for our country and the illiberal spirit which has desecrated this onco “asylum of the oppressed,” when we have been (breed to apole \ gize for it, by the madness of fanaticism which «■ times—and hapilv only for a time—takes captive c the reason of the most enlightened societies. We have heard many of our best citizens of this class —men who have lived here long enough to become , j thoroughlv Americanized, who have married Amer ican wives, reared American children, and planted, bv their industry and probity, ample fortunes in p American soil, declare that if the principles ol Know Nothingism prevailed, they would he forced | to abandon the country ; for they came here to seek liberty and equality, and they would not live j in a land which promised these blessings to them in the theory of its institutions, yet denied them j practically. The truth is, the Know Notning foray on the domain of our Republican prestii/e scattering, as it has done, to the winds, the benign and hospita- i ble principles established by our fathers, and in- ' tended to embrace all men of our blood and race 1 who chose to cast their lot with us, who chose to oeeupv. till and develops our boundless territories, and defend with us our growing greatness as a : t people—has done an irreparable injury to the . character of the Government and people of the 1 United States, the world over. Wo were hut the : other day conversing with a highly intelligent < gentleman, who has within a few months travelled j over Europe. He tells us that we can form no con ception of the prejudice created in the popular mind of the old countries, especially in France and the - other Continental and Catholic countries, by this monstrous, and to them, most surprising and unox pected America n furor against Catholics and for- ) eiguers. The Despotic Governments iff the old world view this new feeling with delight, and do all they can by exaggerated t ep“ris to intensify it. A powerful weapon is thus pis 'd in the hands ot I Emperors and Kings to resist the inllneii fl e ot our Republican example upon the masses of Europe, and to turn their admiration of ns, and their long ing to imitate our institutions, into the bitter cur rents of distrust, dislike and hatred. Thus has i Know Nothingism stabbed the cause of freedom ] in both hemispheres, and inflicted a serious wound on the universal lights of man. If this feeling exists in Europe, and we have no j | doubt of it, is it not sufficient, in this country, where the evil is immediately and intensely realized, to account for the suddeii falling off' of immigration and for the return of the foreign-born Irish citizens to that Royal allegiance which so pleases the Lon don Times? Is it to be wondered at that men should prefer to live under the dominion of a (Ton atitutional Government like Great Britain, where, at least, their persons and property are safe, to that of the "Model Republic,” where convents ar. burned, female schools ure rudely invaded. Irish citizens are driven by violence from the polls, and a tyrannical public opinion stamps its iron lieel upon their equality and rights? It is very true that the Irish exodds has, by the relieving pr> ssure of population upon the earth’s supplies, improved the condition ot Ireland. But this is not sufficient to account for the return ; because, so far ns physi cal condition is concerned, the bread expanse invi ting to industry and energy in America, offi rs all, ana more than all, of the inducements to well-bc ing that Ireland could offer under the most favora- : hie aspect-'-. The Irish fled to America to seek u land of liberty. They are now flying from it, be cause the Know Nothings have proved to them that i: is a land of proscription, persecution and tyranny. We must redeem the Union from this imputation, and recover the confidence and respect 1 which we have lost with the down-trodden people 1 of the old world.

THE CRITERION; A LITERARY AND CRITICAL WEEKLY JOURNAL, 16 Pitots, 4to, WAS commenced on the third of November, 1855, and has thus far received very gem eral approbation. Anxious to extend its influence, I and place it upon a substantial basis of support' the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the j attention of the thinking public of America to its ■ claims upon their consideration. ! The main feature of the CRITERION is its Re ! views of Current Literature . In this department i are given thorough and able criticisms of all the most important books as they are issued, pointing out their chief characteristics, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform ed of all new publications which deserve their at tention. IT ALSO CONTAINS Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary World; Gossip concerning Hooks and Writers; Announcements of contemplated Publications; and Lists of New Books issued in America and Europe. The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also receive attention, and several columns of carefully selected and agreeable matter are given in each number. In addition to the above ,there is a de partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter t taining character, carefully selected from new books and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety of curious and valuable information. It is confidently believed that a journal such as the CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect upon our national literature, and to some extent upon our national character. It will be found es pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an appreciation for valuable reading, which is being rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial and sophistical books. To the reading man the I literary intelligence alone must render it very de- : sirable; and to all who wish to promote an im provement in taste, the encouragement of merit, ! and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious | style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an enterprise canoot—at least, should not—be indif ferent. To members of Historic al, Literary and Scien tific Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs, the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all : times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de- 1 sign of the editors to thoroughly canvass, from time to time, those important philosophical ques- ! tions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting false theories, and encouraging profitable investi gation. The CRITERION is published at $3 per annum, payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad vance. Specimen copies supplied, on application to the Publisher. CHARLES It.

M„ Principal. Commencement is held on the last Wednesday \ in July. The regular College Course requires font years for the degree of A. B. Those wishing to do I so, may omit the Languages, and pursue a scion- ! tific course of three years. Having been originally designed for the educa tion of young men preparing for the Gospel Minis j try, this Institution keeps that object steadily in i view. The Seminary embraces a three years’ course ■ of such studies as are pursued in the most eelebra- i ted Theological Seminaries in our country. The Academy is kept under an experienced ; Teacher, and has been established with special ref ! erence to fitting pupils to enter College. The price of Board in Ihe Village is *IO.OO per month; washing, room-rent, fuel, Ac., $3.00. I The next Term commences on the first day of i February next, 1856.

OWING to the late destruction of our College j edifice, by fire, we are deprived of the occu- ! pancy of the same for this year. But we are happy j to state that the contractors have commenced, w itii j renewed energy, to rebuild the same, relying on a generous community to assist them as far as able. The Board of Trustees announce that the School ! will begin as published in our Prospectus and ad ! vertisements on the first Wednesday in FKBRU ! ARY next. We have procured a good house, con i taining six convenient rooms, in the outskirts of ! the village, in which the School will be conducted. I We also nave procured, on the premises, the use of ; three small buildings, which will accommodate ten | or fifteen young men wishing to board themselves. \ We therefore say to one and all, come on, and you : will have good accommodations and the very best j i of instruction. In view of the great loss we have sustained, we 1 would make a most earnest appeal to our old sub scribers to pay up their old subscriptions without delay. The subscribers to the endowment fund are respectfully requested to pay, immediately, the in : terest on their subscription for the first year —due tiie Ist tilt., and so much of the instalment due, or subscription, a> is convenient for them. The same I can be paid to Rev. Edwin Dyer, Rev. John Craw ford, or sent to me by mail. Any additional sum . from any one to enable us to meet our hnnes, will he. gratefully received.
