THE EDITED BY WILLIAM NEILL, CORRESPONDING SECRETARY. GENERAL AGENT. It is proper to state that the General Agent, after he had made some progress in prosecuting his agency in this city, was obliged to return to Carlisle, the residence of his family. One of his children was dangerously ill; and when she had partially recovered he was detained there by the subsequent sickness of his wife. Something was done by him in Carlisle. On his return he conferred with the President of the Board; and it was deemed advisable for him to visit New York and Albany immediately, as his assistance had been desired by brethren in each of those cities. In regard to the clerical brethren at New York, he says they are generally very friendly to our Board; and in Albany he informs us he is prosecuting his agency with flattering success. The details of his labours may perhaps be givenin a subsequent number. LETTER FROM THE REV. GEO. WHITING. Boston, Jan. 13th, 1830. Rev. E. S. Ely, D. D. re Of course the donation, if made, would be in reality to the missionary cause. Still I regard the debt as an honest one, and should rejoice to pay it when I can, that some other indigent student may have the benefit of it; situated as I am, however, perhaps it will be deemed a reasonable request when I ask to be released from the obligation. Will you, my dear sir, do me the favor to communicate this request to the Executive Committee, and let me know what order is taken respecting it.Should they not be together immediately, I will thank you to write me a line expressing your own opinion as to what they will do. If that opinion is the same as you expressed to me years ago, I shall venture to dismiss all anxiety on the subject. A line will reach me before I embark if written immediately. It may be interesting to you to know that I expect to sail for Malta, on the 20th inst., and to be associated with Mr. Bird in Syria. Your prayers I trust will follow me. I beg you to make my thanks acceptable to the Committee for their past kindness; and believe me, my dear sir, very truly Your obliged fellow servant in the GEO. B. WHITING.

A brother in the West has stated in a letter that some apprehended, that if they were to become too closely connected with this Board, their colleges would be neglected, and that at Princeton be too exclusively patronized. This apprehension is founded in mistake, and would have been removed if our former statements had been duly considered. This ancient literary institution is indeed worthy of regard. It has been a blessing both to the church and to the state. A large proportion of our most eminent statesmen and most popular preachers, have received their collegiate education in that highly favoured seminary; but our brethren to the West and to the South may rest assured, that their wishes will be consulted, and beneficiaries supported by them, sent to any college, or theological seminary they may prefer. form the public that the average number for the last year was between seventy and eighty, and that there are at present seventy-one students, and that it is confidently believed there never was more industry, good order, and piety in the institution at any period for many years. A large addition to the college is expected next spring. This periodical has not only erred in regard to the whole number of students, but has made the sum of the numbers assigned by its own statement to 3 classes less, by 10, than the true amount. GOOD EXAMPLE. There is a young man in Princeton College, to whom the Executive Committee have made an appropriation of $35 for the present session. He has no relations to aid him, except a brother from whom he receives some clothing. But he is a house carpenter; and the last session he paid his college bill with the avails of his labour. He raised by his industry during the last vacation, between $30 and $40; and he intends employing his vacations in this way during his whole preparatory course for the gospel Ministry. He is a good scholar. kind.
