Norfolk Drawbridge Company. , •
At an annual meeting of the Stockholders, held at the Ex
change CofitK-House on the second Monday in January, in
the present y«ar, it appeared that the tolls received at the
Bridge a cross the Eastern Branch of Elizabeth River, yield
ed an amount nearly equal to the rate of 10 percent, per an
nuip ; but the one a-cross the Southern Branch, owing to
the cost and unfinished state of the roads leading 'into the
country from it, has been much less productive. The Com
pany, therefore, declare a dividend at this time of but twen
ty cents a share on the capital stock of the said Company,
which shall be paid to the Stockholder, or their legal repre
sentatives on or a*, any time after the 25th instanfcf-.

ACADEMY,
Wttt -opcmd on Monday,- the 12th inst.for the
1 uition 0/ i'outh. of both Hexes. -0
MR. KIRK, is sincerely thankful fn, the datiii^W
preference with which the Institution, under liisdi
rection .lias been Honoured s lice he came to Norfolk • andi
hopes that the general progress of his Pupil,, J, a «tbftS,r»i
proof of his capability and aeiiduiU-. %
rhough his health is, in a great measure restored tu him.
yet his constitution has received such a Severe shock by tii*
late illness, that he is afraid he wi‘l not be able for sometiinv
yet to come, to undergo the weight of business, that he was
former!!y accustomed ,0 do: however his pupils shall npt
su.ier any loss by that unfortunate event; as he will, when,
it is necessary, procure any aid that may be Wanted. An
assistant, capable of teaching the Latin and Greek Langua
ges is now engaged, and will attend as soon as a sufficient
i number of pupil, may require it; and the business wiil oe
conducted with renewed evertions, and on a more extensive'
scale than was hitherto att mpted by him in this place.
extensive practice in teaching, in both male and femalw
Academies, a,so in sorte respectable Colleges, afforded hint
numerous opportunities of seeing different inodesof teaching.,
and enabled him to make accurate observations on the pow
ers, progress, and gradual ownings of the youthful mind.
It is a subject of serious regret to many parent* amt guar
mans, that in some Seminaries of Learning, little attention-.
J* ^ »the culture of the heart, though itisan oh“ h*
bmtely superior to ail other attainments, that no advantaeer
whatever, deserve a moments' regard without it. !
But this defect win be obviated in some measure, by *
p an of Education, which Mr. Kirk has lately formed Thi*
plan is the result of long experience ; it is well calculated for
improvmgboth tho head and heart; affords efficacious mean*
mr stirring tip the best energies of the mind to a laudable
emulation ; and may be suited to the natural genius, various
capacities, peculiar tempers, and individual pursuits of the
dliferent sexes
As he is no stranger here, he thinks it unnecessary to giv*
* catalogue of the various branches that he teaches- but
they are part cularly enumerated in the plan above mentioned,
lit the Female Department.
The fundamental parts of Learning will be carefully incut,
cated. Endeavours will be used to blend the ornamental with
the useful branches of instruction j to divert the mind fron*
Visionary pursuits to useful exercises ; from fashionable absur
duies to rational amusements; and to unite the graces of re#
fined manners with the dignity or virtue, and awell cultiva
ted understanding. . tt
» ht the Male Department,
The young gentlemen will be conducted through that In
troductory course of Instruction, which is the most useful in
lay mg a secure foundation for mak ing a proficiency in those li
terary and scientific branches, which will qualify them to
act with propriety in any situation. As their genius expands,
they will be gradually advanced in that manner, Which is th©'
best suited to engage their attention in the purfuit i f useful '
acquirements; to improve their understandings s to ripen
their judgments; to fix in their minds a hab t of thinking .
with steadiness and attention; to promote their address am*
penetration ; to raise theirambition to excel in their respec
tive stationsand every opportunity will be embraced to im
plant in their minds genuine sentiments of patriotism, and tt
love of liberty ; to inspire them with the principles of virtue,
and to inform them in religious and moral habits. . *
Mr. Carlier has assisted here upwards of two yeats, hw
still continues to give Lessons in the French Language Hi#
mode of teaching is peculiarly successful; his attention tv
his classes is stnctly regular, and their rapid progress is »
convincing proof of hissuperiour talents and abilities
Mr. Bargues gives lessons on the violin. He has been en
gaged here upwards of twelve months, and the great profici
ency of those who have been taught by him, on that diffi
cult instrument, evidently show, that he is worthy of en
couragement. ...... $
urawmg was always taught here, when sufficient cncou
ragement was offered f and arrangements are now made,
which will furnish tliosewho wish for it, with an opportunity'
of learning the pleasing accomplishments of vocal and in- ‘
strumeutal musick.
An elegant Piano Forte, which is now in Complete order,
has lately been purchased for the use of the young ladies ii»
this Academy ; and persons property qualified to teach Mu
sick and Drawing, will be engaged when required.
One class in each department, will begin to study Geograa
phv and the use of the Globes early in February nett.
The order to be observed in the distribution of time fof *
the employment of each day, will be so regulated, that thy
desire for improvement will be heightened by the variety of
studies, and the succession of object* will servo as an aeree
able recreat.on. *
It is well known by experience, that unvaried application -
to ono particular thing, is not only irksome, but frequently
defeats the end it aims at. Those exercises which relax thy
mind without enervating it, and amuse without degrading
if, should ever be highly esteemed, as they, by being judii
ctously inteimingled with the higher and more important
pursuits, afford a degree of cheerfulness, vigor and activity■>
which will ultimately insure success.
