Charlotte Hall School.

E1>HE board of trustees for Charlotte Hall
school deem it their duty to announce
20 the ,ublic, the present tourlshng con-
d,t;on of this Institution. Since the INTRO
Iuction of the present professors, the school
has rapiiiy progressed in the public esu-
nation.
" hen Philip Briscoe, esq. was called TO
assume the office of Principal, there were
but 81 pupils. The liberaiity OF the state
LEGISLATURE of 1917, enabled the trustees to
retain his services and those OF Mr.. SlIltl-
more for the classical department-the Re-
yerend Mr.. Neale Ii. Shaw has also been
retained as professor of mathematics, and
he is aided in that department by Mr.
SweetSee, gentleman in high estimation
as a professor. Under the management OF
those gentlemen the school has now 80
BOYS; and very many applications have al
ready been made for entrance and board.
Heretofore portion of he boys have been
compelled TO board at the neighborlne hou-
SEES at too great distance from the school;
the trustees are now making arrangements
which vii! enable 6ttv bows mere to be ac-
commodated inme liately at the school; so
that at all times the Principal will be ena-
bIed to exercise general supec'ntendanCe
over their moral department TO the corrup-
ton OF which, The boys in this retired yll-
lage have but few temptatons) The
Board will remark to those who are unac-
1uainted with this place, that no part OF
MARYLAND is more distinguished FOR ats ge-
neral healtbiness. The price Of hoard is
only loo dollars a year. The tuition is
now but % dollars year. Ii will be rails
ed after Augsstto so dollars-a price much
lower. however, than any of the public
schools of ouT state.
1t is intended then by the trustees to Sc
bet four boys (oi poor and INDECENT pa
rents) OF promise, aud to hoard, clothe,
and educate them entirely at the expense
of the Institution, and stewards 10 labor
10 procure them that station TO which their
talents and conduct may entitle them.

Respecting late animadversions Of the

Louisiana stock at this embarrassing pc
Rod, we are told that the commissioners OF

state of the Treasury. (Which is certainly
very unreasonable, I! imperatlve)-
g. Are required by iav, to apply the ex-
tinguishment OF the public debt, ten mil
lions OF dollars annually I or so much OF that
sum as the conditions of the loans and the
prices of stock will permit, 7choteuer may
be the state Of the country, or Of The Treasury;
T. GH The pubic monies in the Treasury
ercept sir hundred thousand dollars, are
placed at their disposal for that purpose
In addition to these ten millions, they are
authorized to apply whatever other NOME 5
may remain in the treasury, more than two
millions of dollars, after all the appropri-
ations made by law are discharged.
1.-THE instalment of the Louisiana debt.
which the commissioners determined to
pay off in October last, amounted 10 A.
977, 800 dollars, of which SOL 800 do :
lars was owned in Europe. The instalmeEt
payable next month is 1858, 093 which
near y the same proportion is owned a.
broad. The whole sum, however. is pay
able in the United States And il part
should be Withdrawn from the country by
the foreign owners, whatever inconve-
nience may be pro duced by the transfer,
is chargeable to the LAW which permitted
foreigners 10 own the debt, and which
prescribed the time of payment-and
not to the Secretary of the 7reasury-who
pays only what the LAW enjoins."

tomorrow, we forbear making any more
extracts TO day, except paragraph of com
ment from the National lntelligencer, CIV

which states.
