Navy, ReSeamen. —Wp were glad to learn from Captain (iherardi nf the Jamestbton, that the Secretary of the Navy has adopted the English method, in regard to the rank and grading of Seamen. They are now divided into four classes: first class are entitled to 24 hours liberty each month, and to draw one third of their wages ; second class 24 hours liberty every six weeks, and one quarter of their wages; third and fourth classes 24 hours every two months, and one fifth of their wages. Thus an appeal is made to Seamen to behave well, and secure a good character. From the general tenor of newspaper and common reports, we infer there is much less rowdyism and hazing in American Colleges, than there was a few years ago. Students appear to have come to the conclusion that it is beneath their dignity and honor to be engaged in low and rebellious practices. They are coming to see themselves as others see them, and it makes them ashamed to jokes," which if they were out" perpetrate charmed circle of college laws side of the would bring them under the and grounds, specting surveillance o( the Police Magistrate.

The influence of such an example for good is potent and far-reaching; it is felt among his officers and his crew. When on shore, such a man's example is good among the foreign residents, some of whom fancy that gentility and fortune require that they tempt young men to ruin. How little do ladies, and young Indies too, imagine that their influence is often most injurious, aye pernicious, over young men. The more we witness the sad effects of wine-sipping and whiskey drinking, the more odious and destructive they appear. The effect of wine has not changed since Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs, " Look not on the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright, at the last it biteth like u serpent and stingcth like an adder." A Greenlander.—The master of the English ship Clara Hargrove, which recently visited this port, was a native of Greenland. He was e.lucated in the Shetland Island. His father was a Scotchman and his mother a Dane. He maintains religious services among his crew, and in other ways exerts a most happy influence among seamen. Don't " Brag."— R. W.

Dear Mr. Damon :—I shall always be indebted to you for the pleasure I enjoyed from my visit to Amherst, and my attendance at the semi-centennial anniversary exercises, which took place this week; for had I not been so pressingiy urged by you to go, I might not have been present there. A brief sketch from me may not be unwelcome, unless you are favored with a fuller and more graphic account from some abler pen. Those who have never been in Amherst may not be aware how beautifully it is situated on a gentle knoll in the bror.d valley of the Connecticut, surrounded by an amphitheatre of distant hills, of which the Holyoke range and Mount Tom, with the broad river rolling through the precipitous gap, rent for its passage through the range, form the most conspicuous points. Viewed from the lofty tower of the College Chanel, in this lovely month of July, the scene was almost indescribably beautiful. The village has a population of about 4,000, and besides the College bearing its name, is noted for the Agricultural College, jointlyendowed by Congress and the State of Massachusetts with a fund amounting to over *500,000. I had the pleasure of visiting the grounds of the institution in company with its President, Col. Wm. S. Clark, who married Miss Harriet Richards VVilliston, formerly of our islands. There have been 147 students in attendance during the past year, of whom 26 will be graduated next week. I gathered from the President a mass of interesting statistics regarding the institution which I may use in some future article. To attempt to describe the commencement exercises in full would take too much space, for they occupied five days, and I will confine my sketch to the jubilee, which took place on the 12th. It is stated that between 700 and 800 alumni were present this day, and probably the number of strangers present could not have been less than 2,500. To accommodate these a mammoth tent bad been erected, capable of seating 3,000, while at least 1,000 more were within hearing of the speakers. The morning session was ocMy J "The Pacific," celebrated its twentieth birth-day, during the first week in August. The eighteenth of last January, The Friend celebrated its twenty-«ighth anniversary.

This little task just as positive on the other side. There is put a new thought into his head—why may no new question proposed. The question not buttons be made by machinery ? So he whether woman shall have the right to the . I , \ J highest education which it is possible to gain in America has been settled, and that lony ago. If there is one thing in which America stands preeminent, it is this: We believe that woman should be educated according lo the measure of her desire and capacity. Unit-bilked, woman colleges have been established, besides academies and seminaries, and when the question arises as to whether woman can have the benefit of a collegiate course, it is met in this way, that we have already more colleges than we have need of. Why should we put two schools to do the work of one? Are women so much like men that they need but one church, one catechism, one minister; alike in almost every thing, and yet so different that they need two sets of instructors, one lor men. and one for women in ordinary matters of education. Why, in all the slates we are erecting new academies and college* a hundred years ahead of our pecuniary means. Why should we be doubling the cost of education? Why, if Amhent used the power to instruct these advanced scholars among women, who wish to be teachers and professors, and laborers in the highest fields of science; if Amherst had the liberality to do it, would it be necessary to put half a million dollars into a women's school at North* ainpton, and another five hundred thousand to make it good for anything ? This is like a mail spending every cent of money in building his factory, and yet without a cent to pay for an engine to run it. We have plenty of colleges, il only used in a legitimate manner. It is a question of economy. In New England we all understand the worth of an economy article,—it is a "heap sight cheaper" to educate women with men. 1 know that there are other considerations in the matter. It is said. I am aware, that women do not want it. If they do not there is no trouble. If the women cannot bear the experiences of a collegiate course then they will go away. I know it is 1 settled that women are different from men. Of course they are. I know it is said that they cannot do everything that man can do. Ido not want them to. If you plant n rose tree and lilacs in the same ground, the plants and flowers will bear their respective flower and foliage. So from a collegiate course a woman will take that which assimilates with her own nature, and will be a woman still, and not a womanish man. 1 was brought up in my sister's school at Hartford. That accounts for my womanish ways. But it is all outside for I am inside, a man. A woman would make a womanish use of this education, and that is what I want to see, a woman's own influence brought to bear in art arid literature; it is to make her more woman, and with her power will still be womanly pure. Highly developed in culture her refining influences will be richer and more heavenly. Amherst is for a universal education. If a man be black and is fully prepared, or a woman, and is fully qualified, its doors will open to them. Amherst should lead in this march of progress, and if she does, it will not be the first time that she has led in progress and philanthropy. Amherst will do her duty because she is sent to accomplish a great work, a work which is just and right. (Applause.) �lil American and i, ForeignUniversitySystems i i; ii; \ i).

AVheu in latitude 21 ° north struck the northeast trade, nnd held it into port. The trades have been quite moderate, with very smooth seas.

The following, from Prof. J W. Chickcrmg of Washington, D. C, will be read with lively interest by those- whose hoots kindle in view of the fact that the CJhrixti'in State, in modern times counts it not the least among Us duties, to provide, whenever possible, special privileges for these classes nl its citizens who may labor under special disabilities,and to "seek to fit every man for the best work of which he is capable. The writer begins with the undisputed remark that A little more than filly years ago, Key. T. H. Gallaudet went to Franc?, acquired the sijjn language as there developed, liy ihe Abbe dc C'Epee and the Abbe Sicard, and leturning with Mr. Laurent Clere, one of their deaf-mute pupils, established in 1817, at Hnrtford, Conn , the American Asylum lor Deaf-mutes, the first institution of the kind in the country. This was established and supported, potlv hv private beneficence, and partly by State aid, and ns its success demonstrated the possibility of educating deaf-mutes, their claims upon society were recognized anil there are now in our country thirty-four institutions, with over two hundred teachers and nearly four thousand pupils, depending almost wholly upon state appropriations ; nor are these in any sense " asylums,'' or their pupils, " inmates or " patients " us they are often : " called. But it had, for years, been felt by those best acquainted with the capabilities of deafmutes, that there were many among them, as among their hearing and speaking broth ers, who could profitably pursue a college course, and would not only be benefitted thereby, but would return to society a fair equivalent for the expense, in the increased value nf the services they would be able to rentier to the Slale. This was, however, too great and expensive a work, to 6e undertaken either by private munificence or by any single State. Mainly through the efforts anil the gifts of the late Hon. Amos. Kendall, an institution had been started at Kendall Green, near the city of Washington, for the benefit of deafinutcs, residing in the District of Columbia, supported principally by appropriations from Congress, and under the management of a Board of Trustees, of which he was President. To the charge of this, was called Mr. E. M. Gallaudet (now deservedly L. L. D.) the youngest son of Dr. Gallaudet. the father of instruction in the United States, young, enthusiastic, thoroughly familiar from the cradle, with the sign language, and swedily giving evidenA of great executive ability. Besides President Gallaudet, it has four Professors and one Tutor, with fifty stndents coming from twenty-two different States, and one from England. The course, of study is substantially the same as in all our respectable colleges, and the examination papers of the students show perhaps as fair an average as will be found elsewhere. Two classes have graduated, and their nine graduates are now receiving as salaries •9.800 a year, an average of more than $1.. no . si; rr i; mli i; i:. i 8 71. the Coast Survey, one as tutor, and several the wonders of the world.
