THE ANGLO-CHINESE COLLEGE.

THIS infant establishment, the object of which is the diffusion of the Christian religion, by means of English and Chinese literature, is but little known to the public in this country. The college has, however, been much indebted to several ladies and gentlemen, both in England and China, who have given liberal con, tributions to it, for which, as president of the college, Dr. Morrison returns his sincere thanks. These contributions have helped to defray the expense of the college buildings, and have supported on the foundation several Chinese youths ever since the year 1819. By the latest accounts, there were in the college about 20 native Chinese students from 10 to 20 years of age. One Chinese, who studied under Dr. Milne in the college, has been ordained to the office of an Evangelist in his own country, and has himself baptized his wife, and had his son baptized. This man is about 40 years of age, and his sincerity is the more probable, from the circumstance of his having, two or three years previously to adopting these mea sures, endured imprisonment and scourging,on account of his profession of Christ. ianity.

At the college, the native youths study Christian theology daily, under the Chinese Professor, the Rey. Mr. Collie, who makes the Chinese Bible the foundation of all his instructions. They read also English religious books; and during Dr. Morrison's visit to the college in 1823, they committed to memory some of the collects in the English Book of Common Prayer, the Paraphrases of the Scotch Church, &c. At morning and evening prayers, they sing an hymn in the Chinese language, and have read to them, with Bibles in their hands, by one of the Chinese masters, a chapter in the Chinese version of the sacred Scriptures, which is commented on by the Professor. The Chinese printers of the Scriptures and Tracts come into the College Hall at morning and evening prayers, and attend

The Principal of the college, the Rev. J. Humphrey, and the Chinese Professor, the Rev. Dr. Collie, visit the schools and Chinese villages in Malacca, accompa nied by native readers of the late Dr. Milne's Chinese Village Sermons and

other Tracts.

The senior students, attended by the juniors, meet on Sunday evenings in the Principal's room, and themselves engage in prayer, partly memoriter and partly extempore, agreeably to the practice ori ginated by Dr. Milne.

There is a native Roman Catholic Chinese who is acquainted with Latin, now at the college, translating into Chinese, "Stockii Clavis Sacra," for the use of Chinese missionaries; and a few of the senior native students are intended for under masters in the college, and teachers of schools.

This brief statement will show to the friends of the Divine Redemeer, the direct bearing of this institution in the diffusion of Christian knowledge, and it is open to all denominations of Christians from any country in the world.

To facilitate the acquisition of the Chinese language in this country, Dr. Morrison has brought to England a library of original Chinese books, in every department of literature, to be lent out gratuitously to any individual in the Uni ted Kingdoms, who may choose to at tempt the acquisition of the Chinese lan guage. It will only be required to deposit the estimated value of the book till it be returned. In this library there are about 10,000 Chinese volumes. His Majesty's treasury viewing this as a special case, has departed from a general rule, and allowed Dr. Morrison to pass his Chinese library duty free.

It is known to the public that Dr. Morrison's Chinese Dictionary, printed in China, by the Honourable East India Company, at an expense of L. 15,000, is now completed; and by the aid of it and the books now referred to, some progress may be made in the Chinese language without the aid of a native teacher, which, however, may be supplied at some future day, if the Christian public pay that attention to the subject which its acknowledged importance demands. When arrangements for the library are completed, the public will be informed of the mode of application for the books.

The list of the contributors to the different sections of the Bulletin will show the interest which has been taken in it by the most celebrated French savans. Never, perhaps, in any country, has there appeared so great an assemblage of the most distinguished names in the sciences, manufactures, and art of war, as have been induced to enter with a community of feeling into an undertaking of this kind. It is this feeling of interest which has led MM. Laplace, Humboldt, and Cuvier, to promise M. de Ferussac, that they will communicate to the Bulletin, such new facts as they wish to publish.

The progressive augmentations of the population in the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, may be thus enumerated:In 1798, Mr. Barrow fixed it at 61,947 individuals. In 1806, as detailed in an actual census, the number was 75,145; 3 K

in 1810, the number was 81,122; in 1814, 84,069; in 1819, 99,026; in 1821, 116,044. The last four are also from actual enumerations. In 1822, calculating by estimate, the number was 120,000. In 1818, the number of whites was 42,854, of Hottentots 22,980, and of negroes, 33,320; at present, there are 28,840 Hottentots, and 32,190 Negroes. In the free population, one death, and more than two births, may be assigned to fifty individuals. The houses in Cape Town are 1750, and the inhabitants 18,430; among whom are 7534 negro slaves. In 1821, the public revenues of the colony amounted to 1,463,510 rixdollars, and the expenses to 1,247,908. The culture of the vine is encouraged, and large quantities of its produce are exported.

The total population of the German Confederation, may be divided into nearly 17,000,000 of Catholics, 13,000,000 of Protestants, and 200,000 Jews. These are scattered over a superficies of 11,870 demi-square miles of Germany. The federal army, in time of peace, is fixed at 301,780 men, and in the time of war at 452,670.

The following contains a valuation of the donations and legacies to the poor and to hospitals in France, from 1814 to 1823, agreeably to the form of acceptation authorised by government :

In 1814......... 812,805 francs.
1815.........1,341,885

butter taken fresh out of the churn, and the skill and care of the dairymaid is mainly displayed (next to rigid cleanliness) in expelling by her manual operations, called making of the butter, that superfluity of butter-milk which otherwise would be visible, in numerous small cells, in the substance of the butter, and which, by soon becoming sour, and at length putrid, would prevent the butter from keeping, or preserving its fresh properties, a sufficient number of days. M. Chevreul, who lately has made a series of experiments on this subject, found that 100 parts by weight of butter, from the most eminent dairying district in France, consisted on the average of

Pure butter.........83.75 parts
Butter-milk.........16.25

Showing, that very near one-fifth of the weight of good fresh butter is a useless article; and of less-perfectly made butter, often one-fifth thereof or more is butter-milk.

M. Grotius, chemist, during his residence at Rome, investigated the phosphorescent organ of the Lampyris Italica, Italian lampyre or glow-worm. This insect, when plunged in the water, remained luminous for several hours; in oil of olives, the light grew less in a quarter of an hour, and totally disappeared in twenty minutes. Nearly the same effect took place in hydrogen gas and carbonic acid. On taking these insects from the gas, and removing them, instantly after the extinction of the light, into the air, the phosphorescence immediately returns. Some lampyres, in which the phosphorescence was extinguished, so as not to be recoverable in oxygen gas, regained it in an atmosphere of nitric vapours. In contact with rutilant gas, the abdomen of the insect shines with a greenish colour, that slowly becomes brighter, turns white, and acquires a dazzling brightness. This only lasts a moment, and takes place whether the insect be dead or alive.
