Biild say, Miss Hotchkiss, 1 know to be cmi
ajitly qualified for teaching. Her soolnrship
and very thorough. She is cntcr-
Bdtig and ambitious—loves to teach, and on
■ whole, is the best qualified for it of any
H.V 1 ever instructed. I speak thus confi
■ffdly, because she was a pupil of mine some
Hfir or five years. Truly yours,
I JOHN NEWMAN,
■j'pon the general principle that nothing tends

B'crficial habits of study, no young lady, in
ttaf s Institution will'be permitted to take up
s®dies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to a<l
vai ce from a lower to a higher class until she
B thoroughly mastered all that precedes.—
B 1 ’ mind that has not comprehended common
‘BCimetie and English Grammar, is but poor

BVe invite patronage, and we Wend to de-

An effort merely to please a people, being
the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty

Great reduction in tlie price of tho latter publication.
1,. Scott & Cos., New York, continue to publish tli* fol
lowing leading British Periodicals, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative).
THE EDINGBURGH REVIEW (Whig).
TIIU NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Freo Church).
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal).
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAOAZINE (Tory).
(|MIF, great, and important events—Religious, Political,
_L and .Military—now agitating the nations of tlie Old
W orlil, give to these Publications tin interest and value
they never before possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between the hastily written news items, crude
speculations, and tlyiug rumen of the newspaper, and
the ponderous Tome of tlie historian, written long after
tho living interest in tho facts he records shall have
[Hissed away. The progress ol’ the War in tho East occu
pies a largo spare in thoir pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all
short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
tho Crimea rtnd from tho Baltic in Blackwood'sMagazins,
from two of its most popular contributors, give a mors
intelligible and reliable uccount of tho movements of the
grout belligerents that can elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi
cal parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Badical,—
but politics forms only ono feature of their character.—
As Organs of the most profound writers on Science, Lite
raturn, Morality, and Religion, they stand, us they ever
have stood, unrivalled in the world of letters, being con
sidered indispensable to tlie scholar and the professional
mum while to the intelligent render of every class they
furnish a more com-i-t and satisfactory record of tlio ns
lent literature of tho day, throughout the world, thun
call ho possibly obtained from any other source.
