Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore,
been connected with the Institution, comes to
us highly recommended, as a teacher of rave
qualifications. Among other testimonials the
following letter from I‘rof. Newman, of Union
College, New York, is an ample guarantee for
her ability and efficiency :
Union Collegf., Dec. ‘J'J, 185-3.
Drab Sir :—ln reply to your inquiry, I
would say, Miss Hotchkiss, I know to be emi
nently qualified for teaching. Her scolarship
is general and very thorough. She is enter
prising and ambitious—loves to teach, and on
the whole, is the best qualified for it of any
lady I ever instructed. I speak thus confi
dently. because she was a pupil of mine some
four or five years. Truly yours,
JOHN NEWMAN.
Upon tho general principle that nothing tends
more tq impair and destroy the intellect, than
superficial habits of study, no young lady, in
this Institution will be permitted to take up
studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad
vane* from a lower to a higher class until she
has thoroughly mastered all that precedes.—
The mind that has not comprehended common
arithmetic and English Grammar, is but poor
ly qualified to grapple with the intricacies of
tho higher mathematics, or the subtleties of
metaphysics.
Wf invite patronage, and we intend to de
serve it: but we do not promise to make schol
ars in a day. While modern science has al
most annihilated time and space, the mind
retains only its original qualities and capabil
ities. The Intellect, in its onward progress,
is still dependent upon the principles of asso
ciation, the powers of judgement and memory.
•WPadvancement in knowledge now, as it has
eveift.een, is slow. jan4.

By the McCormick Sy. tom of Education,
I the reasoning powers are more expanded and
! better cultivated in five months than by the old
j system in five years.
i Legitimate Education is the object of tlii
Collage ; without the aid of Theology, Music,
duplicity, hogging, fashion or foolery in any
shape whatever.
Three Rules will be rigidly enforced : Ist,
early and punctual attendance; 2d, to learn
very fast; Brd, to .behave remarkably well.
The only required preparation for admission
will be good character, over nine years of age,
and exemption from till illegal and base asso
ciation, and no students refused because of
being graduates.
An effort merely to please a people, being
the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty
alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no
Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS,

Grout reduction in tho prfcn ol tho latter publication.
L. .Scott & Cos., Now York, continue to publish the fol
lowing loading British Periodicals, viz:

‘tUK lUUNGBI UGH liKVIEW (Whig).
( i'llE NORTH BRITISH RKVILW (Free Church).
‘OIF. WKSTMINBTER RKVILW (Liberal).
I BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
tpilL great ant) important events —Religious, Political,
4- al| d Military—now agitating the nations of the Old
World, give to these Publications an interest and value
tlno never botore possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between the hastily written news items, crude
speculations, and flying rumors of the newspaper, and
the ponderous Tome of the historian, written long after
the living interest iu the facts he records shall have
passed away. The progressof the War in tho East occu
piesa large space in their pages. Every movement is
! closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, aud all
short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
t he Crimea and from the Baltic iu Bla< kwood'H Magazine,
from two of its most pupular .contributors, give amove
intelligible and reliable account of the movementsnf tb*>
great belligerents that can elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi
cal parties of Groat Britain— \\ big, Tory, and Radical, —
but politics forms only one font tiro of their character.—
As Organa of the most profound w riters on Science, Lite
future, Morality, and Keligion, they stand, as they e\ei
have stood, unrivalled in the world of letters, being con
eidcred indispensable to the scholar and the professional
bum, while to the intelligent reader of every class they
furnish a more coi iect and satisfactory record of the cur
rent literature td iho day, throughout the world, than
can he possibly obtained from any other source.
