SI, quite agree with your corres pondentRender" that the old building now used as the Central School is by far too small for the requirements of the Colony. The school rooms, except the lecture hall for Chemistry, are badly venti- lated and ill-suited in every way for the purpose intended, viz., accommodating the large number of students who attend the School for education. Some talk of the building being unround, but be that as it may, it is very defective in a sanitary point of view. Some years ago the Foo- ohor Government, under the advice of Captain' Swainson, applied to the Central School for a number of boys a naval cadete to be trained in the Arsenal, and am told that out of 18 selected, some 19 of them could not pass the doctor for weakness in the chest, Then again I observed that only a few days ago, an English master of the school, who before he joined the establishment was one of the strongest man in the Colony, had to leave for San Francisco invalided, because of Alsease in the lungs. His predecessor was at one time ill with a similar complaint so that he had to take leave to go to Japan for the boneft of his health. On his return, he was fortunately transferred to another part of the building, where the ventilation was not so bad, while his successor contract- ed the serious disease from which he is now Buffering, These facts prove the bad sanity of the place, and it bohoves the Govorn ment to erect a new building without delay. Although a new alte had been bought for the sabool several months ago, no action has been taken as yet to build on it; and this delay, together with recent proceedings on the part of Hle Excellency Pope Hennessy in reference to the school, han filled many minds with the fear that there is vacillation in the polloy of the Government, and that there is likely to be aalip between the cup and the lip--that the project of the new Central School is not to be carried out. I think this is not the case however. From what I know of the
matter, the Government has deferred com- mancing building on the new site only because of the rainy season now prevailing The money for the work has been already voted by the Legislative Council, and it will, therefore, be prosecuted with vigour as the dry weather sets in.

Ardahan was only indiferently fortified, the Russians having during former wara blown up the ramparts, merely leaving a few remnants of the walls of the town, 25 feet high and six broad, which were unable to resist the modern heavy ordnance. At the breaches a gallant fight was sustained on both sides.
St. Petersburg, May 19. The following telegram has been received here" Arda han, with 60 guns and large quantities of stores, has been taken. After the two out works were captured on the 16th instant, General Louis Melikoff proceeded on the following day to attack the place Itself. Our artillery destroyed the defensive works, and when our troops advanced to storm the town the enemy took to fight, and, notwithstanding the approach of night, were pursued by our cavalry,
"Jar loss in killed and wounded amounted to 286, among whom were five officers,"
Intelligence received here announces that the Turks opened a second bombardment against Sonkhoum Kale, and burned the placo, in consequense of which it has been evacuated by the Russian troops.

"On the 17th inst., the admirable fire of our artillery had between three and six p.m. made a breach in the walls of the place.
At six o'clock the Erivan, Title, and Baku Regiments and the Sappers advanced to the assault. The enemy could not withstand the onslaught, and took to flight, leaving a great number of dead on the field, our cavalry pursuing them in spite of the darkaoss. At nine p.m. our troops travers ad the whole town, as well as all the forti- fications, while the bands played the Rus- aian National Anthem.
The troops are full of enthusiasm, The Russian fag has been hoisted on all the fortifications. Our loss is not yet pre- cisely known. It is believed that one officer and 50 soldiers have been killed and four officers and 180 men wounded...

Constantinople, May 23-The particulars which have reached us of the capture of Ardahan show that, after several ineffectual attacks, the Russians assaulted the place with a foros of 33,000 men. A great battle was fought, and the Aring could be heard at a distance of twenty miles. After a most gallant defence, Ardahan was taken A great part of the garrison cut their way through the Russians and escaped.

Constantinople, May 25. The fall of Ardaban is in no way discreditable to the Turkish soldiers, who fought with great bravery against a greatly superior force. It is believed that if their general had shown equal courage the place could not have been taken. He is to be tried by court-martial.
The Ottoman corps and the insurgent Ciroaslans have advanced from Soukhoum Kalé about 40 miles into the interior; the Russians are retiring before them.
