TheCoramittee on the; Wake Forest Institute ask leave to report:- i j iThat ftince the meeting of the Convention ' in November, 183. the In stitution has gone into operation, and its success thus far has exceeded the hones of its most I sanguine ; friends.. 'It commenced about tlxe, first of February last, with about twenty-five students, which number continued to increase, until August, when the number had reached seventy j at which time, for want of houses for the accommotktinn nTth students, the Trn- , tees found it necessary to' give notice that no more' could be admitted until tne nrst oi February next.; An exammatiorwjf the students of theJnsiitu tion took place inAugust last. The report of the Examining Committee speaks m the highest ternls of the proficiency of the students, growing out of the untiring zeal of its jPrincipal, the Rev. Samuel Wait,, as well as the active energies pf the minds of the students, produced from the salutary effect of from one to two hours' labour each1 dav, civing strength and health to their bodtes and vigdr to their nnds The great proficiency U il,e siuueuis, iauie various oranencs ot studies, and the cheerluiness with wmcu iuev ait engage in the labour, department of the school, leave it no longer problematical that there js great utility iii uniting moderate labour with Study.

Meredith, to be called the Baptist ! Interpreter : That at our last session held at Carthledges Creek, upon a r careful inspection of the numbers published, we gave it as our opinion. 1 that the confidence, of the Convention was not misplaced, that the paper i .nau mei wuu uuiverbai appruuaiiou, yim we inen unnesitaungiy reconi ! mended it (o the patronage of the Convention, and that renewed efforts be ! made to procure frfr.it a still wider circulation.

But experience proves that a monthly paper,' however j well conducted, is lnsumcient for our nurnose ; and as we fear a monthly and a weekly naner cannot be sus tained by us, we. recommend that a weeklyjpa'p'er be published by our bro ther T.
