To building of New-Jersey college. Mr. Latrobe, the architect, is now at Princeton, superintending the construction of the roof of this edifice—the building, it seems, is to be covered with sheet iron, which, it is supposed, will at once prove a safe and durable roof. At the next session of the legislature, we trust, a grant will be made for the addition of a number of the students. The discipline of the college will in future receive more strict and rigid attention than ever to the moral and religious principles of the youth who may be sent to this institution for their education.
