Two of them, it is thought, will be enough to free the ship of water suflBfently get her afloat. Several offers have been made-to raise the shipby contract.

Above water they are, when thus clad. I the most helpless of mortals: They arc clothed in a thick and heavy India rubber dress, with belts about their legs and body filled with shot to the weight of about 12 pounds. The head is incased in a huge copper cap, resting on their shoulders, with i glass before the eyes and mouth. An India rubber tube of about an inch diameter, is connected to the top of the copper cap.

The air thus forced in at the head finds its way out through the dress where it terminates 011 the arms, and sometimes a tube from the breast, guarded against the introduction of water. When the diver is thus equiped for his submarine excursion, he lies helpless 011 the deck. A rope is attached to his body, which is through a block 011 the yard-arm, and he is hoisted like a motionless piece of baggage over the side, and lowered into the water. He soon descends to where he does not materially feel the weights attached to him and to help himself and cqpfrol movements.

Situated HS we are, ho one that we can compete successfully with oftier pla for of the College if we dc pend on pecuniary subscription alone there is but little doubt that a liberal coal. subscription and tho academy will secure us tlie Ideation, The academy property has been put in the bands of the Trustees for the use of the people by the donor of the lands, mid the subscribers to the buiSding-s; those who made the trust, and those for whose mo it was made are the parties interested, and if they to direct a modification of the use, who lias a right to gain-say, or object to it. The majority of those cqnajty intern ted are the highest authority in this country, and have a right to rule.

The baptist College will not be sectarian, but simply a Literary College, where good morais are taught, aud the christian scriptures read aud inculcated. All its pupils will attend pubtio worship and sundav-scbool where the parents or guardian may direct. So sectarian opposition is out of placo. The equity of the matter cannot be violated if the transfer is made in to die wishes of those or a majority of those who made the trust, and those who enjoy its use. If hereafter our people feel the need of an academy or common school home, either for boys or girls, or they are abundantly able to supply the want, without foreign aid.

The trustees are only agents; they have ao power to change the u-hc of, the trust, ithout proper instruction and Therefore let our people, upon petition, make shewing to tlie Court of Chancery at its fi next sitting in our tow of their wi-hes in with the reasons on hich their wishes are based, and InaWite-doulit ibey can obtain an order for the desired transfer, and the Trustees would obey If this course he persuod, I presume all the a threats of protracted law-suits, will vanish into thin air. For there could not he the least rational hope of sustaining them, and the mere fun of spending money in court tees, is uot a very fascinating amusement. Common Sense.
