 Astle end of a ycarsa detailedreport of the receipts from individuals CT Auxiliary Committees, and of the proceedings ofthis Committee, shall be published, aud new election of a Central Committee be made by the donors.

 The translation of our comm school books into modern Greek, and their intro- duction, is contemplated as leading object with the committee. The common sen- timent of country depends more upon these, than upon any other single cause ;; and more practical talent has, perhaps, heen thrown into sour own school books, than is to be found elsewhere. Our co1s- mon school system is more perfect than that of the enlightened country whence we derive our lineage. Education here fits di- rectly for, the business of life, and is we'll suited to people just emerging from rev. olution, and among whom equal rights are. acknowledged. And now, when school. books for modern Greece arc vet to hS made, better ones probably could not be produced by the labor of half a century there, than we can carry thither, in their vernacular tongue, in half a year. Shall we not then, help he Greek boy to the best spelling and ciphering book and the Greek girl to the best thoughts of our writers on Female Education i; as we'll as those of Maria Edgeworth and Hannah More? and, perhaps, hereafter, the youth to translation of our larger works of science, and the Library of Useful Know ledge g''

 It will be peculiarly honorable to aur free and happy citizens. thus to cooperate in the cause of common schools, in Greece -the very heart and eye of the world The keys to the mind of Asia, must ever be on the Hellespont, and in the hands of the Greeks The elevation of Greece will illuminate all these regions which Chris tianity early civilized. But the sun of A sia is darkencd, while Greece is in eclipse. Our school Geometry is translation from the language of that remarkable people, whose literature has so enlinently refined and controlled public sentiment, and win seemed destined by Providence to rekindse the lights of science on those plains and mountains where exist the most ancient y saats and the holiest Inonanlents of the raca of man. It is believed that an American Institution of the kind proposed, planted at Argos or at Athens, will help to bind two great regions of the globe in fellow ship {; and will be hailed as a generous pledge of what one continent can do for the intellectual and moral elevation of an- other.

 - It is requested that the earliest no- tice of the formation of Auxiliary Commit- tees be forwarded to the Secretary. O. 1t is desired that remittances be made to the General Treasurer, Mr. ARTHUR TAPPAN, 122 Pearl Street, Ncso- York, as soon as convenient, that the plan may be speedily carried into effect. | Rich Woman.-At a ball given by the city of Paris to Bonaparte, was Madame Cardon. The Corsican, in general, was not very fond of people who had become rich by any means but his own favor. He had never seen Madame Cardon, whose name even he had never known before !; but lie had been told, that her husband was possessed of great wealth. He walked to- wards her with peevish sort of fair, and said to her very abruptly- Are you Mad anne Cardon ?n She made profound courtesy to this question. Ronaparle con. ftinued his discourse, You are very rich ?'s s "Yes, sir" she replied, have ten chilr dren." Bonaparte, struck with the deli- cate force of this reply, walked away quickly.
