We leant with regret, that the temporary tranquillity which had existed at the East India College at Haileybury has been spin in terrupted. There have been college councils held, and juvenile council, held ; and whatever might be the comparative wisdom dii. payed in debate, the actions, at least, emanating from the latter councils, were the most decisive and powerful, terminating in an attack upon the council-chamber itself of the learned Professors. alr. Principal is said to have been chased, with very opprobrions language, by a dog with a tin kettle tied to his tail ; one of the Tu. tms wi., beaten, and the Steward had his head broken. On the con miry, the acts emanating front the council-chamber of the Masters. though they might possess much wisdom, were deficient in vigour. Some of those punishments which are with great propriety called re.vtleations—as sending the youths from the populous City of Hert ford t leath to tie retirement of London—were pronnanced only.
