III atldilion to the above fees to be 

 paid to the masters, there must be a 

 school-fee, to provide for tlie interest of 

 tlie capital, salaries to the masters, and 

 other annua! charges. II' the number of 

 boys at tijo school docs not exceed 500, 

 a fee of two guineas for the 1st Class, 

 and three guineas yearly for each of the 

 other Classes, will be necessary ; but, 

 should there be 600 boys, this fee may 

 in time be diminished. This annual fee 

 is to be levied at the time the boys 

 enter, and on the 1st of October of the 

 remaining years that they continue at 

 ilie school. 



The attendance on the arithmetic 

 master and writing master will be 

 optional, but the boys who attend those 

 masters will pay the; following rate of 

 fees. As some of the Classes are to be 

 taught these branches five days in the 

 week, and others only tiiree days, the 

 directors have thought it equitable that 

 there should be a somewhat correspon- 

 dent rate of payment.

ihquake in Chili. [April I, 



The boys at the Academy will have 

 the additional instruction of English 

 reading, elocution, and modern history, 

 during the whole period of six years; 

 geography will be an object of attention 

 during the whole period; Greek will be 

 taunht from the commcp.ccilient of the 

 third year; and, in all ))r()l)ability, the 

 elements of geometry will be taught in 

 the sixth year. 



As it is not to be expected tliat mas- 

 ters of eminence will come forward upon 

 the chance merely of the emoluments 

 arising from the fees and the annual 

 salary, it lias been thought necessary to 

 secure 400/. a-year to the rector, and 

 200Z. a-year to the masters of the four 

 junior Classes for four years.

ACCOUNT of the EARTHQUAKE in CHILI. 



THE earthquake was felt at the 

 same moment throngliout Cliili. 

 During that night there were about 

 seven principal shocks, an<l conlinual 

 inferior ones; so that Mrs. Graham the 

 author, it is said, held her watch in her 

 hand forty- five miiuilcs, willi a glass of 

 water on the ground near her, .and the 

 water was shaken as nearly as jiossible 

 every five minutes. The earthquake' 

 was felt at Conception slightly, mor<! 

 severely atCojiiapo and Coquiinbo, and 

 some say at I^ima, but lliis is very 

 doubtful. Valparaiso, Quillota, anil 

 Casa Blaiica, seem to have been the 

 centre (if the cx|)ression may be allowed); 

 and, tlircc weeks after the first shock, it 

 still contiiuied at intervals, at about 

 three times aday. At Valparaiso the 

 ravages are inconceivable, and upwards 

 of 300 bodies have been dug out. mostly 

 children and soldiers; which, probably, 

 taking the difference of population into 

 account, exceeds any tiling yet heard 

 of, even at the great earthquake in 

 Syria. It was also felt at INIendosa, a 

 town on the eastern side of the Andes, in 

 the line of Luenos Ayres, and for sorjio 

 little way on each side of that town ; and 

 every endeavour was made to discover if 

 it had taken place at Juan Fernandez, 

 but this has proved quite unsuccessful, 

 there being no inhabitants on that island. 

 At Vina de la Mar, a few miles from 

 Valparaiso, cones from two to six feet 

 high were thrown up of sea-sand, of 

 which the little valley is composed. No 

 smell, gaseous exhalations, nor steam, 

 have been taken notice of. The houses 

 situated on the loose alluvial soil, and 

 in the Almendral, a sort of suburb 

 adjoining Valparaiso,- were generally 

 shaken
