The resolutions reported by the sub-committee, and em- bodying the conclusions reached, were adopted by the general committee, with the exception of the last, recognizing the centennial anniversary, and are respectfully submitted for the consideration 0. the alumni at the present time. There are three specific recommendations con- tained in the of the Committee on Organiza- tion:—First, respect to the division of the Trustees of the College into six classes of four each, having six years to serve, and their election by the alumni; second, with respect to a system of visitations of the College on occasions of public examixations; and third, with respect to an annu- al meeting of the alumni, accompanied by the ceremony of an address, and followed by a dinner, The annual meeting would a suitable occasion for perf all the busi- ness that would be required for giving effect to the several objects of the ion; the nomination college for the choice of ; the appointment of a committee d visitation; the ae a arrangements, and election of icere. The most important of these subjects is the election of trustees. Some of the considerations Sy ® -puandaire, Whe\tamare of the office and the oad rcs ogo arti rpa ) are pre- sented in re} of on Or- tion.

The trustees are to hold office, when elected, forthe term of six years, and be re-eligible; so that there is no danger on the score of permanency, and no objection on the ground that trustees newly would be unacquainted with their duties and with the interests of the institation. The plan is eee ee the atumni shall choose every ear their own number an electoral college, to taken out of at least twenty classes, with not more than two delegates from any one class, who shall choose trustees to fill the places of those whose term of service expires. If the picked sons of the College cannot be trusted with this duty, all repre- sentation for any Fee is a farce. ‘e must fe back to the era oi bie! ger mame | ernments for all our ideas of civil polity. ere would the cause of learning, morals and religion be safe, if it would not be secure in the guardianship of such a constituency, charged with the limited function of selecting trustees for the government of a literary institution, in whose welfare they feel a deep in- terest? The fact that the electoral college would be composed of graduates of widely different ages, from the young and ardent to those mature in the experience of life, representing, too, as they would, irations andall the wants of the active minds in the commnnity, is a most fortunate fea- ture in the constitution of the electoral body.

With respect £3 the scheme of visitation iF it is merely necessary to referto the report of the sub-committee. The considerations in favor of this mode of strengthening the hands of the professors, and keeping up relations of intimacy between the alamni and the college, are sufficiently stated. Their arguments, also, in favor of an annual meet- ing, the ointment of an orator for the occasion, and the social festival which is to close the exer- cizes of the day, cover the snbject. The whole machinery is of the simplest character and the organization just as effective for all useful purposes asa more formal and methodized plan.

The following resolutions,embracing the above ita, are respectfully recommended to the alumni for their adoption :— 1.

Upon the consideration of this resolution, the fol- lowing was moved as a subsatitate:— Resolved, That the present General Committee of the Alumni be contiued as a standing committee, and that they be designated as the committee called for by the third resolution, and that they be charged with the duty of carrying into effect the first, second, and third resolu- tions, ¥ith power to appoint sub-committees on the va- rious matters confided to their care, and to ill vacancies, and to increase their number by the election of one mem- ber from each graduating class not represented. Upon this resolution a lengthy discussion arose, ke af ae finally carried, and the report entite opted. The alumni then went into an election for officers ba the ensuing year, and the result was as fol- lows: President—John M. Mason, of class 1815. Vice-President—O. 8. Strong, of class 1825.

F, WALKER, BY HUB NEXT FRIEND, OBRISTIAN 8. SLOANE, VS. WILDES P. WALKER. Before Hon. Judge Ingraham. NINTH Day. Jows 28.—A crowded court room, as usual, this morn- ing. The cross-examination of Stockbridge Eaton, witness for the defence, was resumed by Mr. Blunt. Mr. Blupt asked the witness for the register. Mr. Busteed said that he had advised the witness, in view of the purposes to which counsel had put the regis- ter yesterday, to decline giving it up. a ‘The Court said that the register must be considered as evidence, so far as it related to all the parties in this case. Witness—I saw Mrs, Walker riding with Dr. Heartwell once in 1845; it was the time she went with him to Bath; I think I have seen her ride with him more than once in that year; I cannot specify in which visit it was she rode with Dr. Heartwell, other than the time she went to Bath; I cannot tell whether it was before or after she went to Bath that she went out to ride with Ido not know wi Mrs. Walker was at m: house in 1846 after she so rode out with Heartwell; cannot name any time of day when Mrs. Walker rode with Dr. Heartwell in 1846; she frequently rode with him in that year; when I say frequently I don’t specify auy number of times; it was a common occurrence. Q. Are you prepared to state that in 1845 you saw her ride with him more than twice? A. I cannot state; I cannot tell who was at my house at any time when Mr. Walker rode with Dr. Heartwell, other than when they went to Bath; the company were coming and going. Q Mrs. Walker ride with Dr. Heartwell any two Gays in succession? A. I don’t know for a certainty; I cannot state; Dr. Heartwell was never at Harpaweli when Mr. Walker was there; I cannot state whether Mrs, Walker was at my house any three consecutive days after her hus- band was there; I think she was, however; I have seen Mra. Walker walk with Dr. Heurtwell in the yard and about the premises; Ido not know what time of day she walked with him. Q rr you ever see her walk with him more than once in 1845 A. I presume that I havo; I cannot tell the time when on the first or last occasion they walked together; I cans not mention the names of any one who saw them walk- ing together; I dont know whether Mr. Fuller was there in oe when Mrs. Walker and Dr. Heartwell walked to- ther. art Who was present when, in 1847, you refused Mrs, Walker board at your house ? A. It was 1848. Q. Did younot state that in 1847 she came down a day or two before the revenue cutter, and was then re- funed board at your house? A. I made a mistake, Q. Did the ‘enue cutter party come in 1848? A. That I cannot tell; the refusal to board her I thought was made before the revenue outter y came; I think so now; I cannot state in what year the revenue cutter party ca could not tell who was present when me, I refused Mrs. ‘waiter board at my house; I think Mrs. W. came with her family—her chtldrenand nurse; it was towards evening, and I think she remained all night; staid in a small room and went away the next day. Q. Who was preset at the time you so refused her? A. I don’t recollect; we were inside or the house,either in the sitting room or in the bar. Q. Did not Mra. W. and her family board at your house for several days in the year 1848? A. She might have been there; I think she did not. Q. Did she not board in your house—coming there on the 16th of August, 1848, and remaining with her chil- dren for three days? A. 1 have no recollection of it. Q. Where is the register of 1848? A. I laid it on the table this morning. Q. Produce it. Mr. Busteed objected to the production of the register, but his objection was overruled. Q. Look at the entry under the 17th of August, and state in whose handwriting it is? A. I don’t know in whose handwriting it is. Witness—I recollect Mr. and Mrs. Stone being there in 1848; Mrs. Stone was a relation of Mr, Walker; I remem- ber Caroline Walker being there, and I think I remember Mrs. Walker being with her; cannot tell where Mr. and Mrs. Stone came from. Q Turning back to August, 1847, seo if you can find the name of Mrs. Walker in the book during that month? Objected to by Mr. Busteed, and objection maintained by the Court, Mr. Blunt begged the Court to note that he offered the ‘book in evidence, to prove that the name of Mrs. Walker ‘was not on it during the years 1846 and 1847. The Court said that the book was not evidence of itself tothe jury; it could only be used by the witness to re- fresh his memory. Witness—(after an examination of the rogister)—I do net find her name there during 1847. Q. During the time of Mrs. Walker’s visit in 1848, was Dr. Heartwell there? A. I think he was. @ Are you confident he was? A. No; I think he was in my house in 1848. Q. Is your impression as to this as strong as in regard to other facts to which you have testified? A. As strong as some of them; Mrs. Slade was at my house in 1852, Mrs. Walker and her children were there on that occasion alo; they only took dinner and return- ed tho same day; I do not remember whether Dr. Heart. well has been to my house since 1847; myself and my daughter Amne attended at the table; I think she is atout twenty-three years of age now; I think I have seen Mrs. Walker and Dr. Heartwell together at table since1846; Ihave seen them together at table between 1845 and 1848; perbaps they were not there together in 1846. ‘Gent you not say that you refused Mra. Walker board 7 A. I think it was in 1848 that I refused her board. Q. Are you prepared to state that you ever saw them at table together except in 18457 wei I think Iam; do not know who sat opposite to Mrs. valker. Q. Did you ever see Mrs. Walter and Dr Heartwell ride by side at the table more than once in 1846? A. I think I have. Q Atthe timo when Walker and Vesey called on you this spring, did either of them exbibit to you a letter? ‘A. I presume they did. Q either of them state to you that Mrs. Walker had be nea“ or spoken disparagingly of your house? A. They did. Witness—The register of 1846 is lost; the last timeI saw it was when I moved out of the house; I left the re- gisters inthe house when I left; the next time I saw these books was when they were in this city, in Mr. Walker’s possession. Q. Will you take this register for the year 1848, and see whether Mrs. Walker’s name sppears there mo ¢ than oe whether Dr. Heartwell’s name sppears there ata appeared once, and Dr. Heartwell’s not at all, was ited by the counsel for the defence. ‘Witness—Dr. Heartwell’s name appeared in the regis- ter on the 14th of August, 1847, as the only time that year. To Mr. Busteed—Mr. Adams took the house at Harps- well after me; the house has undergone changes since I left it; the registers do not show the names of all the per- tons who visited my hotel, or how long they remainod there; I never made the entries myait ta my register, nor can i rely upon them as correct entries for any pur- pore, except as I have seen them rs Were accessible to any person who visited the hotel To Mr. fandfordg-I know of changes made in the house; a story Was put on top, and the cook and bar-rooms were changed; Tdon’t know that any changes were made in the bedrooms or diningroom; if I saw entries in the bs per in the handwriting of parties whom I knew, I could rely upon them. Q Innot your register evidence to your mind of the fact that the parties whose names are written there were there at those dates? A. Yes. To a Juror—I have never seen any other improper con- duct between Mrs. Walker and Dr. Heartwell than a fa- milarity analog between them at table, and their walk. ing roun 6 premises together; she was a fault-findin, ‘woman—a troublesome boarder.” 4 Thos. trcrd examined by Mr. Churchill—Was Sheriff up to 1863; knows Walker. Q. When was he arrested? Objected to, on the ground that the order of arrest should be luced, The Court eaid that the counsel might go on with the examination, independent of the contents of the paper. Witness—Walker was arrested and held to bail for $40,000; it was atthe nuit of Crooker; he remained in ai custody till I handed him over to the present Sheriff; T had an execution against him in February, 1862; he Jas in custody at the time: that was also at the suit of ‘rooker.

Walker, and knew his wife at thetime she came to New Jersey; I knew Walker first in June, 1850; he came to rent a house from me next to Steel's Hotel, in New Brunawick; he did rent it from me at arate of $800 a year, for three years; it was a parol agreement; lease began Ist August, 1860; Walker took possession in’July, by putting in household goods; Mr. Walker wes in the house, but I don’t recollect ever recing her there; don’t remember her giving any direc- tions in relation to repai: the houee; she called to look at the Louse before I left. Cross-examined by Mr. Sandford—I left the house in July, the furniture left there waa removed by Mr. Steel the year after; don’t know where it was sent to; before its removal a settlement was made with mo about the rent the settlement of the rent was made in \t follow! by Mr. Steel; 1 had no communication Wildes P. Walker on the subject, either ‘orally or , Q. Did you letthe house to any other person, and if fo, when? A. It was rented a year after by me to Mr. Campbell; Mr. C. occupied it from August, 1851; Wildes P. Walker never lived in that house at all; he and his family, while in New Brunswick, lived at Mr. Steel's.

As the summer heat gradually seta in, and gives hope that the corn and wine of fertile France will yet yield an abundant increase—a hope, by the way, which, from the extraordinary weather we have lately endured, was becoming very faint—there is acontinual buzzing in the sir of political and mili- tary movements, and men craving for practical re- sults, or for such definitive intelligence as may give them a clue to the confused and tangled skein, are only puzzled, vexed, and confounded. The ition of the German Powers recalls the state of public feeling which was current in regard to the Eastern question before it finally terminated in war. Then- it was said that the interests of the Ozar were so entirely on the side of peace and permanent settle- ment that after a flou ‘of trumpets and beat of drums, things could be amicably arranged; and da after day the world was kept on a species of politi- cal see-saw till the final capsize took place. And notwithstanding that the Moniteur has to-day given the sanction of its authority to the statement that Prince Paskiewitsch has moved his headquarters to Jaasy, and that a concentration of Russian trooy has taken place in Moldavia, with a view to the movements of Austria upon the Transylvania fron- tier, public opinion in ce is still incredulous, and until Austria is eeen in the fore front of the battle, with her legions en; d hand to hand with those of the Czar, Frenchmen will never believe that she can be counted upon. A certain degree of interest is attached to the rendezvous now taking place on the Elbe, near the Saxon frontier, between the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria, though the prevailing sen- timent seems to be that until the Western ‘alliance has helped itself more effectually than at present, it Tittle aid from this,or any other German conference; and that,in the meantime, the equivo- cal conduct of these Powers, in spite of all that has been gaid to the contrary, bas, and does still, inter- fere with the action of France and England with Turkey. Though Silistria up to the 7th of June— that is, five days ago—was manfally holding out, the private letters which are continually arriving from persons well informed, speak of the lamentable ineffi- ciency, if not something worse, of the Turkish officers, who, but for the negotiations with Austria, would be at once replaced by men of first rate milit: Jent from Wurgery and Poland. Tis thrown out of treachery in high places, and that Russia bas not forgotten the lesson that Phillip of though it is hoped that Silistria may prove rather an Euboa, which, commanded by Phovion—the Omer Pacha of Lis day—despixed and triumphed over the goid and meanness of ‘Phillip, than an’ Olyuthas, which not eloquence of Demosthenes wuld save frog glish public opinion they fancy they perceive a gradual and mation to is a Palmerstonian cabinet/ with issuing decrees on echool ship, unless he were biding his time. y conenr: that Lord John Russell will only the more his unfitness, by his promotion to the i to guide the eoalition cabinet, which must long fall by its own weight, and that then the twin: stars of Napoleon and Palmerston will 5" the horizon.

The Moniteur contains a report from the Minister of the Interior to the Emperor, on telegraphs. It would appear that since the abolition of the pariia- mentary régime and the introduction of the present. despotic government, an astonishing progress has been le in respect to electric communication. The number of selegraphis offices in Paris and the provinces is 105, and by the end of the com- munication will be established between the metro- polis and all the prefecture.

There were fowls Met of from the monstrous Cochin-China to the tiny little bantams and in the centre was a beautiful circular tent, oon- taining all kinds of agricultural products, from beet root of colossal Propereicns to the newest variety of wheat. There was machinery ef all sorts in full operation, in which the power of steam was applied to the arts of threshing, winnow- ing, ploughing, clod-breaking, &c. &c.; and last, not- lesst, there were buffets elegantly adorned for the hongry, commodious salons, with crimson benches, for the scientific, flowers for the horticultural, and: soit-randed walks and the most yee order for the convenience of every one. And that all might be complete, there were seen the splendid equipagee: of the Emperor, the ificent horses of which were themselves essentially agricaltural pri while Napoleon and his fair empresa ind went the rounds, and examined everything with tentive eye, the Emperor winning all agricultural hearts by the understanding manner in which he handled the oxen, poked the aheep, and tickled the pigs His salutation, too, was by far the heartiest 1 ave yet witnessed.
