    of various communions , was administered by the most eminent men of their day as trustees , became embarrassed , and finally expired , leaving but a wreck of its endowment , which the rules had declared permanent and inapplicable to any purpose but the maintenance out of its income of an institution of the sort , to which wreck was subsequently added a liberal bequest in aid oFthe permanent fund , made previous to the dissolution , but not received till afterwards .

    " What is now mainl y interesting to the public ( and all thsse matters are of public importance ) is , to inquire how these two branches of the pet * manent fund are now disposed of , and what regulations the original body of the trustees , many of whom are still living , have laid down for their security and application , and whether any meetings ever take place either of the survivors of this body , or of their constituents , the survivors of the Contributors ? There are , as I understand , existing ( indeed they ate printed with

    the College proceedings ) the body of rules and regulations as % 6 the fond and its objects ; many of the trustees , who are of course legally answerable for it , are living ; and I cannot think it can be deemed by any one an impertinent curiosity to inquire of all who can give the information , what money remained after the appropriation of the permanent fund to the debts of the College , and how , when , and where the trustees have invested it and dis * -

    pose of the interest ? and in the same way * what disposition is made of the bequest subsequently made , what are the precautions taken for its security and appropriation by the survivors of the trustees to whom it was given , and ( if theTe be any doubt as to what should be the ultimate destination of these funds ) what difficulty there would be in calling together the parties interested , and determining how the intent of the founders , or one consonant with it , could now be best carried into effect ?

    I SAW Mont-Blanc when the glowing sun Flung a gleam o ' er its sridws from the amber West , When his course of toil was almost run , And he sunk , in his glorious bed , to test . I mark'd that gleam , and its rosy

    hue—For ' twas beauty's self , that was lingering there ; I marVd that gleam—for 'twas presage true Of a day without cloud , all bnght and fair . And I thought of the close of the Christian ' s day , When he goes to a nobler world than this , And no guilty cares , nor dark dismay , Break the peace of his spirit , that ' s wrapp'd in bliss O thou Father of Lights , and God of Love !

    Who knowest the thoughts of thy creatures here , Send down thy blessing , this heart to move , And mould it , thy holy commands to revere ! That so , vtoen I ' m cialled by thy mandate away From the scenes of this earth , and these mansions of dust > I may quit without pain this frail covering of clay , And be welcom'd with joy to the realms of the just . Geneva , Sept . 17 , 1826 . & W .
