Interesting Incidents.—On the 19th of April, 1775, Captain Isaac Davis, ol Massachu setts, was killed by the British at Concord. The first American officer that fell in the war of the Revolution. On the 1 Ith of May, 1775, information of that memorable event was sent by express, from Georgetown, S. C. by Paul Trapier, S. Wragg, # ! C. Trapier, jr. and Anthony Bunneau, to the Committee of intelligence, in Charleston, to the care of Win. Henry Drayton, esq. On the 1 Ith of May, IS4O, sixty-five years thereafter, the Hon. Mr. Preston, of South Caro lina, advocated with great power and eloquence. In the Senate of the U. S. the granting of a pen ■ion to the widow of Captain Davis, then in the 94th year of her age—and Mr. Calhoun opposed It. Granted, 3'. to 9.—,.Y. Y, Express. Curious Ccstont.—When Poland was a kingdom, some of its laws and customs were enough. When any person was convicted of having slandered, another, he was obliged in open court to prostrate himself on the ground, lying between the extended legs of the parfy whom he had unjustly accused, and there to con* less, with a loud voice, that in publishing or as serting what he had asserted against him, he had lied like a dug I and then at three several and distinct times, to hark as loud as he could, after the fashion of the animal he had just mentioned’ A Mirror of Burn.—Queen Elizabeth, admiring the elegance of the Marquis Villade Medina, a Spanish nobleman, complimented him on it, begging at the same time, to know who possessed the heart of so accomplished a cavalier? •Madam,” said he, * & favor risks tao much on •uch an occasion; but your maje>ty’s will is law.

He is enabled, trom personal acquaintance, to testify as to «he superior qualifications of Mr. T. The following among other testimonial, are offered : ‘Jir. Wellington H. Tyler is a graduate of this Co,lege After taking his first degree, he went to Kentucky, where he proved himself to be an able and faithful teacher of youth. Being invited to take a tutorship here, he returned and discharged the duties of hi* office with great credit to himself and advantage to the Institution. Since then he has studied Theology in the Andover Seminary and is now a very acceptable preacher of the Gos pel. It affords me great pleasure to recommend him to the public as a man of high moral and Christian character, and perfectly well qualified to take charge of any Academy or High School, where his services may be wanted. H Humphrey. Pres Amherst College, Sept. 16, 1839.” ‘‘Amherst College, Sept. 20, 1839. This may certify, lhat the subscriber is well acquainted with the Rev. Wellington 11 Tyler having known him as a member of this College of winch he is an alumnus, and afterwards as a Tutor in College, and since as a licensed preacher resident in this place ; and I take great pleasure in recommending him to the public confidence as a Christian and a minister, and also as a scholar and gentleman, highly qualified by his abilities, attain ments, and general character, to superintend the instruction of youth of either sex in ary of our literary institutions. N. W.Fiske Prof Int. and Mor. Phi’y.” Mrs. T is amply recommended by the Principals of the Troy Female Seminary, and also by Profs. \ ates of L nion College, and Joslin of the Kew York University. The Principals of the Institute, in the discharge of the highly responsible duties which will devolve upon them, will aim at practical results, and at tempt rather to qualify those submitted to their care for the duties of real life, than to gain for them the admiration too oflen bestowed upon er ratic genius and fanciful attainments. The former requires the symmetrical develop, ment of all the faculties which make up the mental and moral constitutions, and, under no circumstances of future life, will it leave the pupil in the condition of a traveller, who should receive for his guidance a map of a different country from that in which be I is to travel. They will aim at permanent results. The pow er and the habit of reasoning are worth more than any number of the result> of otheis’ reasonii g; the love 01 knowledge and a mind w.-H disciplined and directed for future acquisitions, are a greater blessing than any amount ol knowledge without such guaranties lor its perpetuity and increase, as a living fountain is worth more than a stagnant 1 reservoir of however great dimensions. . I hey will aim, in short, at combining, in the highest practicable degree, the advantages of home education with those which, in the general, can only be enjoyed abroad, where many are brought together for the same object;— at concentrating the endearments ol home, its social sentiments and its proprieties of lile —for the improvement and the enjoyment of those who may thus be removed from the danger of being injuriously involved in fash ionable dissipation, or being too early occupied 1 with distracting domestic cares and avocations. It will be percc.ved that the new arrangement leaves the identity of the Institute untouched. It • will be the same in its objects and aims—the same in its internal arrangements, in its religious aspects and in the sentiments of its conductors, as they regard the domestic institutions of the South. Hence the propriety of omitting here much that must otherwise have been detailed at large, r«s --l peeling our arrangements and the advantages of . them—matters, which have already and repeatedly , been submitted to the notice of the public, and as it would seem, met their approbation. The regular Terra of the Institute consists of ' nine months, commencing on the Ist of October S and terminating on the last day cf June. Term ’ divided into tu o Sessions.of four and a half months each. Second Session commences on the second Monday in February, terminating on the last day of June. It is every way desirable that pupils should enter , at the commencement of the Term ; they will however, be received al any period #f the Term| and charged only for the unexpired portion of the Term. The Institurion will be open five days of the week, during the hours of recitation, from 6 a m. to 5 p. m. to the inspection of patrons and those" interested in the cause of Female Education. No expenditures will be made for pupils, for books, stationary, postage, and necessary articles such as shoes, kc. unless an advance is made, in deposite, for the same. All letters to Principals must be post-paid. We recommend to patrons and otheis to post-pay their letters, addressed to the inmates of the In stitute, in order to anticipate errors of double post age upon the part of Postmasters. * TERMS.
