THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES AT ANDO
VER AND PRINCETON.
The Theological Seminary at Andover went in
to operation in 1808- From the catalogue pub
lished in 1821 ,it appears that the number of Grad
uates has been 254, of whom 16 have died, 114
■are Pastors of- Churches,- 30 are Preachers not
or are io other employments, as Professors
in Colleges, Preceptors of Academies, Sec. Sec.
39 are Missionaries in this country, 17 are Mission
aries in Foreign Countries, and of the remaining
38 their residence or employment is unknown.
The present number of students is 140, from
the following States: Maine,7; New Hampshire,
19; Vermont, 21; Massachusetts, 45; Rhode
Island, 3 ; Connecticut, 30 ; New York, 4 ;
Pennsylvania, 3 ; S. Carolina, 1 ; Georgia, 1 ;
Ohio, 2 ; Nova Scotia, 1 ; and threa Resident
Licentiates. They are mostly Graduates from
the following. Colleges : Harvard University, 5;
Yale College, 35; Dartmouth, 33; Union, 8;
Brown University, 10; Williams’ Col. 7 ; Middle
hury, 16; Bowdoin, 8 ; Hamilton, 3 ; University
of Vermont, 3; Amherst College Institution, 1 ;
Not Graduates, 8. ,
At Princeton, the whole number of Students is
91, and 4 Resident Licentiates, from the follow
ing States; New Hampshire, 1 ; Vermont, 2;
Massachusetts, 2; Connecticut,?; New York,
31; New Jersey, 8; Pennsylvania, 18; Mary
land, 3; Virginia, 7; North Carolina, 3; South
Corolina, 3 ; Ohio, 1 ; Kentucky, 4 ; Tennessee,
1. And from the following Colleges: Harvard
University, 1 ; Yale College, 7; Dartmouth, 2 ;
Union, 16 ; Williams’, 1; JJiddlebury, 2; Hamil
ton, 5; Columbia, N. Y. 1 ; Nassau flail, 13;
Washington, 2; Jefferson, 10 ; Dickinson, 1;
University of Penn. 1; Hampden Sydney Col. 2 ;
University of North Carolina, 1; Columbia Col.
S. C. 1; Transylvania University, 3; Not Gradu
ates, 22.
In both Seminaries, three years are allotted for
the completion of the course of Studies pursued.
The Students are also divided into thre.e classes,
under Professors in the different
Theology and Sacred Literature.
At Andover, the first year is devoted to Sacred
Literature, in which time they usually read in
Hebrew , 20 chapters of Genesis, 45 Psalms, a
portion of the Proveiibs and the whole of Eccle
siastes—and in Greek , Newcome’s Harmony of
the Gospels, with a constant reference in all their
studies, to the manners and customs of the Jews.
A portion of their time is also employed in atten
ding Lectures, preparing exercises in Rhetorick
and Publick Speaking in the Chapel.
The second ytar is principally devoted to Sys
tematick Theology. Several Students prepare
dissertations on each of the subjects as they
are given in course, and exhibit them before
the Professors and Students, after which it is open
for oral discussion. They also exhibit skeletons
of sermons, prepare exercises with the Senior
Clasß on the Sacred Literature of the Epistles, in
which there is a critical exposition of the text,
aRd pay considerable attention to Rhetorick and
Publick Speaking.
The third year, in addition to the Lectures and
Studies in which they are engaged with the other
classes, they attend more particularly to the com
position and criticism of sermons. They have
two exercises a week with the Professors of The
ology & Sacred Literature. At the commencement
of the year they are licensed to deliver sermons in
the Chapel. About six weeks before the close of
the year they are licensed by some Ecclesiastical
Body, and are permitted to preach in any place
within twenty miles of the Seminary.
The Library contains between 5000 and 6000
volumes, but as there are many copies of various
works, the number of separate works is much
smaller. The department of Sacred Literature is
vvery complete, and there is extensive provision
Tuade for the study of all the Oriental and modern
European languages. s
There it no charge for Tuition or the use of the
Library ; and Board in Commons is less than $75
for the term of 40 weeks.
In connexion with the Seminary is a Printing
Press, with beautiful founts of Hebrew, Arabick
and Greek types.
A small work entitled “ Familiar Lessons’? on
Mineralogy and Geology, by J. Mawe, published
m London in 1821, has been in our possession for
more than a year. It is sanctioned hy the names
of Brande, Jameson, and the President and many
of the members the Geological Society. Its
merit consists more in presenting objects to the
mind of the learner, so as to enable him to di
/ftiimnate one mineral from another, and to distin
guish the various substances which compose the
earth, than in the discovery of any new facts.—
It is not burdened with tedious details, and tech
nical phraseology, but ill description it is timple ,
and in explanation concise. The subject is not
only connected with the more common affairs of
life, and consequently merits attention from its
utility —but it affords continual examples of regu
larity, exhibits the undevialing order of nature,
and may also, like astronomy, accustom the mind
to sublime speculations, and become the means of
enlarging and dignifying the faculties of the un
derstanding.
We shall occasionally publish an extract from
the work, as we think it may not only be gratifying
but instructive to a portion of our readers. We
shall commence with bis remarks on Gold , for
the more particular benefit of those who imagine
that they can detect it in large quantities mingled
with argellaceous substances, specimens of which
have heretofore been sent us for our inspection.
It affords us no pleasure to iuform them that their
“ golden dreams” cannot be realized from the
•pecimens which we have seen, but it is better
to awaken them from their delusion than to per- j
mit them to indulge it.
Our readers may expect the extract alluded to
above, next week.
’ Jtttrcury.— This extraordinary metal, which has ;
so long engaged the attention of mankind, it found
■in various parts ofcthe world, particularly in Spain,
the East Indies and South America. A late trav
eler states that the mine of Guanca Velica in Pe-
ru, is 540 yards in circumference, and 960 yards
deep. “In this profound abyss,” he observes,
“ are seen streets, squares, and • chapel where
religious mysteries are celebrated on festival days.
Thousands of flambeaux are continually burning
to enlighten this dreary excavation. The mine
generally affects with convulsions, those who
work in it.” Notwithstanding this, however, he
states that thousands of miserable slaves are con
veyed into this abyss, from which there is no es
cape, and compelled to labour until relieved by
death. The immense profit accruing from this
mine, has led to the dreadful inhumanity .displayed
in obtaining the treasure with which it abounds.
Last Monday, we witnessed a sight truly novel
in this latitude. A sleigh, (of rather rude con
struction, to he sure,) was hastily prepared, and
a number of gentlemen of the place indulged al
ternately in the amusement of sleigh-riding, to
the no small gratification of the spectators—the
snow being between two and three inches deep.
Ice, yesterday morning, would bear the weight
of a horse, and icicles were seen 10 inches in di
ameter at the thickest part.

FRANCE AND SPAIN.
The English papers give the following as the
propositions of France to the Spanish government,
an acceptance of which is considered as the only
means of preserving peace between the two na
tions. It must be observed, however, that these
propositions have not been officially prowulged,
and their authenticity rests on newspaper author
ity alone.
1. The restoration of the King to his personal
freedom, without delay ; for it is now distinctly
understood that he i in a state of confinement in
his palace at the Retiro.
2. The restoration of the king to his sovereign
rights.
3. Such a change in the Constitution of Spain
as shall give to (he nobles a greater share of the
power they possessed tinder the old regime.
4. The exclusion of the present ministers from
office, or at least most of the heads of the differ
ent departments.
5. An amnesty for all persons of whatever rank
engaged in the cause of the regency.
6. A more string regulation of the laws relating
to the Press.
7. The possession of certain strong places oh
the frontiers of France, as a guarantee for the
performance of any undertaking into which the
Spanish government may enter.
From the Augusta Chronicle of 13 th inst.
The following is an extract of a letter from our
fellow-citizen, Gen. Thomas Glascock, dated
“Cherokee Agenct, Jan. 22.
“I arrived here on the 15th inst. iu company
with the United States’Commissioners, being the
time appointed for our meeting. On our arrival,
however, we found, as previously anticipated,
none of the Chiefs or Head Men of the Nation as
sembled ; but well knowing the general slowness
of their movements, we determined to wait with
patience for a few days, with a hope that they
would (within that time) either have met us, or,
at least have apprised us of the course intended
to he pursued towards us. In this expectation we
have been disappointed, none of them having yet
arrived, and nothing having yet been heard from
them—lt was therefore determined, on the 20th,
that a longer delay was unnecessary, and that a
spirited address should be forwarded, with des
patch, to the Chiefs, Head Men and Warriours
of the principal Towns of the Nation, urging the
important necessity of their immediate assemblage
at this place, as required by their Father, the Pre
sideut, that our views may be made known to
them, and that we may hear their reply. Expres
ses are already forwarded, with copies of the ad
dress, and we have now to wait their answer.
Thus you will discover, from present aspects, that
our prospect* of success are somewhat gloomy,
though we have not entirely despaired, but still
hope (if we succeed in eff cling a meeting) the
friendly exertions of the United States’ Commis
sioners, united with’ our own, will enable ns to
accomplish the objects contemplated by onr re
spective missions. The Agent at this place, Col.
R. J. Meigs, evinces the most friendly feelings for
our success; and I have every reason to believe
(from his influence in the nation) he will prove
an essential benefit in the promotion of our
views.”
CONGRESS.
If one were to judge from present indications,
there is rattier an indisposition in the House of
Representatives to transact much business at the
present session. The House yesterday reversed
its decision to meet at 11 o’clock, and restored
the hour of 12 as that of meeting. It adjourned
also at an early hour ; and when it adjourned, ad
journed over to Monday.
Other causes, however, than mere inertness,are
in operation to produce what looks much like it.
Among these, is the variety of opinions on the
subject of the new tariff bill, in regard to which
we find three parties,the zealous on each side,and
the indifferent. There appears to be also a great
disposition to debate it, but very little disposition
to hear debate upon it: so that the House really
breaks up to escape debate. [JYof. lnt. Feb.
The Eleetion in South-Carolina, for members
of Congress, was held on Monday and Tuesday
last.—the result we have not heard, except so far
as relates to the town of Hamburg. The candid
ates were Messrs. Black. Lomax and M’Duffie, —
the votes taken were 180, the whole of which
were for the latter gentleman.— Aug. Chron.
A citizen of our State, from Jasper CouDty, we
are informed, was murdered and robbed of a large
sum of money by an Indian on the 2d inst. a
short distance beyond Flint River.— Milledg.Rec.
Fire. —A fire broke out about 4 o’clock rn the
morning of the 31st ult. at Norfolk, in Market
square which was not extinguished until several
buildings were destroyed.
I A shocking circumstance accompanied this
fire; Mr. R. M. l’aibottofthe firm of Ally n&Tal
’ bolt, was burnt to death in the room ahove the
store, where he slept. One man was killed and
I several injured by the falling of the walls and
j chimneys. _ ,
A dreadful explosion of the Eden Park Gun
! powder manufactory, about a mite and a half
from the borough of Wilmington (Del.) took
place on the 30th ult. Six men were killed
seven wounded (some of whom it is thought may
recover) and nine are yet missing.
CAitifivßA, Jan. 25.
Firtl —On Thursday morning, about an hour
before day, the citizens of this town were alarm
ed by the cry of fire—it proved to be a two story
building belonging'to Messrs, Rinaldi and Peters
the upper story of which was occupied by J. R.
Tobin, as a tailoring shop, and the lower story
as a warehouse ; the fire caught in the shop among
some light-wood, a pile of which lay near the fire, j
in the absence of Mr. Tobin, who we understand ;
was, and had been during the whole night in a j
drinking frolick—the fire had bursted out of the
roof before it was discovered, and had gained j
such head-way as to defy all opposition—it soon ;
Communicated with Messrs. Rinaldi & Peters’ ]
store, which stood adjoining, and which it was :
found impossible to save; a great proportion
however of the goods, not only in tlijs, but in I
Messrs. Roberts, Parsons & Co’s store, which was 1
in the part of the large block of brick stores, be-!
longing to Messrs. !). and N. Crocheron, adjoin-J
irig the fire, were, by the exertions of the citizens, j
rescued from the flames ; and no doubt but the
whole would have been saved had not the cry of
“Powder!” very justly induced every man to
seek safety in a retreat; unfortunately and un
pardonable, there were 10 or 15 kegs of powder
stored in the cellar of the warehouse, which had
been in the hurry of alarm forgotten, and to which
the fire was fast approaching—in a few moments
after the cry of powder was given, they caught
and blew up—the explosion was tremendous, and
the scene awfully majestick—the air, as far as the
sight could extend, was literally filled with blaz
ing timbers, planks and shingles, bricks, red hot
castings, and hardware of every kind, which
came rattling down as thick as hail in an area of
two hundred yards diameter—planks and timbers
were thrown into and through the surrounding
buildings—a part of the chimney of the warehouse
was thrown into the Alabama river, a distance
of at least one hundred yards, and one of the
•sills, twenty feet in length, was thrown over a
building on the opposite side of the street to the
distance of sixty yards; the end of Messrs. D. Sc
N. Orocheron’s block of brick stores, having with
stood the fire, was blown into the store occupied
by Messrs. Roberts, Parsons & Cos. and with its
weight crushed the floor, which was carried with
it into the cellar—not a window was left whole
within a considerable distance. About the time,
ora little before the explosion took place,Doctor
F.ustis’ apothecary shop, which stood next to Ri
naldi and Peter*’ store, took fire and shared the
fate of the others.
It was a very fortunate circumstance for the
citizens of the town, that a heavy rain had just
fallen, and that the night was still, else a great
portion of the business part of the town must inev
itably have been laid in ruins: as it was, nothing
but the fire-proof building of the Messrs. Croche
rons, prevented several other buildings from being
devoured by the flames.
The whole Joss is estimated at about 6,000 or
7,000 dollar?—and the following are the sufferers;
Rinaldi St Peters, Roberts, Parsons & Cos. D. Sc
N. Crocheron, Doctor Huestis.
Luckily, and almost miraculously, no lives
were lost or personal injury done.
We sincerely hope that this will be a sufficient
hint ’ to our citizens to be prepared in future for
warm. ?kiromltf£, in which they must use other
weapons than powder —which, by the way, we
will inform them, (for it seems they have not yet
found it out, unless the discovery was made on
the night of the fire) is probably the most unlikely
article in the world to quench fire, as it cun be of
very little use on such occasions, it would be well
to keep it out of the way.
Would it be believed that this (own, containing
ten or twelve wholesale and retail stores, and a
population of more than one thousand inhabitants,
has never made the least preparation for meeting
aud combating fires. Such, however, is the fact,
although we regret to say it.

The Fleet. —“ The town is all alive the
numerous officers of Commodore Porter’s Fleet.
More ars assembled here than wdte ever together
on any other station. Ou all sides you hear the
note of preparation and roaring of cannon. The
navy yard is in a complete “ hubbub,” and every
street and turning display epaulets, swords, Sec.
Balls and dancing parties are given when it is too
late to work, where our anti-piratical heroes
amuse the ladies with tales of “ most disastrous

other wonders to which like modern Desdamo

call it “ spinning long yarns.” The fleet it is said
will be ready in a fortnight.”

Trask Retaken /—We are happy to mention
that Howard Trask, whose escape from tbe Coun
ty Jail, in this city, on Tuesday night, has excit
ed much publick feeling, was discovered at Wal-i
tham, this evening, at about 9 o’clock, in Mr.
Gore’s barn, by Mr. Isaac Farwell. He called
another person to assist him ; they seized Trask
immediately, and brought him back to the Jail at
12 o’clock. The iroil collar remained round his
neck, and the fetter connecting the shackles j
round his ankles was sawed apart, but the parts j
were confined to his legs and pieces of woollen
wound round them. A large jack knife was
found in his poket, which probably is the fatal in
strument with which he effected the death of his
fellow prisoners. He was still unshaved, and
wore the same clothes he had on beforeliis escape.
He surrendered himself without resistance.

great alarm, and business is entirely suspended.
All the wood, in the winter, at Detroit and the

They are found to be docile and strong, and

I We mentioned the other day, the number of |
! exchange papers received at our office on one j
[ day. On Thursday morning we received a still
greater number from the Post Office— ninety-six. !
Among them were papers from the following
States and Territories:
New York, Massachusetts, Missouri. Virginia, ,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio, South j
Carolina, Georgia, Indiana, Vermont, Michigan, [
and District of Columbia.
The number received is of course above the
usual number received at any one time, because
they were the contents of three mails which ar
rived on that morning and in the night preceding.
Taking this into consideration, the number is still
large, and exhibits a great intercourse and inter- .
change of news and sentiment in onr country, !
among editors at least. Nat. Intel.
Surgical Operation. —An operation was per
formed last week upon Mr. Elisha Andrus of East
Hartford, which deserves to be mentioned. He
had a tumor within the orbit of the eye, closely
connected with the under eyelid, and adhering
firmly to the lower part of the orbit. It extend
ed nearly over half of the eyeball. Ossification
had commenced in the centre of the tumour, and
would probably have extended itself through the
whole substance. It was about the size of a
hen’s egg, and very hard. The only way of ex
tracting it, was by dissection, which was success
fully performed by Mr. William H. Morgan, M. D.
of that city.. The patient is doing well, and his
eye will, without doubt, be completely restored.

DISTRESSING GALE.
Extract of a letter dated La Guayra, Dec. 26.
We arrived here after a passage of 20 days.
Fifteen sail of vessels have been lost in this har
bour. The only ship or vessel that rode out the
gale was the U. S. frigate Congress. The schnr.
Dauntless of Baltimore is lost, two of her
crew. We ir,de this port in sixteen days from
Cape Henry, and if we had had one hour more of
sun, we would have been alongside of the wharf—
and all of us would probably have been lost.
Out of fifteen vessels, it is said sixty souls have
perished.
The Patriots are gaining ground fast—Daniels
has taken a sloop of war from the Spaniards—he
boarded us off Porto Cavello in a gale, and lost a
fine new sebur. worth $22,000. alongside of us.

j IMPORTANT—To Farmers,
THE Subscriber, having returned from New

jof Irons necessary to make .. ‘ ™
I FREEBORN'S PATENT
PLOUGHS,
j Os the latest and most approved patterns, and oJF
! every size, from those intended for breaking of
I land by deep ploughing, and which require to be
drawn by two horses, down to three sizes less
than the Corn Plough, which affords an easy draft
for one horse. These Ploughs he is ready to fur
nish on the shortest notice, and will be regularly
supplied with a complete assortment at reduced
prices.
The importance of that change in the Southern,
system of agriculture, which results from deep
ploughing, is now so sensibly felt, and so general
ly acknowledged, that it is unnecessary to recom
mend it ill an advertisement; —it is proper howev
er to say, that Freeborn's Plough is on that con
struction which is best adapted to effect the
object.
The subscriber would suggest to those who may
purchase his Ploughs, an advantage which they
will possess over those who purchase at any other
market ; that should any of the cast iron work
unfortunately break, he will be willing at all
times to replace the injured part on the lowest
possible terms.
From the liberal support afforded him during
the last year, he has been induced to make this
State his permanent place of residence, and feels
assured, that by a steady adherence to the intef
ests of his profession, he shall merit, and will rd*
ceive au increased portion of publick patronage;.
