lanpuages. Fencing and Music. These bran.
cbes will not be consideredas comprised IN
,he REGULAR course of education, and conse-
onentiy those who attend to them will be
charged separately. The amount of this
charge will be as reasonable as possible, and
probably much less than is usually paid tor
instruction in them. Each student. onjoin-
the Academy, will be required to pay one
quarter tuition AND room rent in advance
after which, payment will be required at the
expiration of every second quarter.
Young gentlemen: destined for a college
education, can be prepared at this seminary
for admission into any College or University
in the country, either as freshman, or one o
two years in advance, and, in the mean time,
will be enabled to acquire good military
and scientific education. Young gentlemen,
also. destined for the navy, can here be m
structed in the scientific part OF their probes
sion, and, at the same time, obtain correct
knowledge of fertilization, and vi military
operationsgeneraiIy, on1and, which it is be-
lieved, they would find highly useful in tu-
ture life. Parents and guardians who are
DESTROYS of placing their sons or wards at
this seminary, are requested 10 give notice
accordingly. to Capt Partridge, through the
medium of the post office, previous to the
first of September next, and to state whether
they wish them to 60 through with the full
course of education, and, it not, to specify
particularly those branches to which they de-
sire them to attend, and also TO mention their
ages.
Can't Partridge cannot refrain from ex-
pressing his wish that those students (parti.
cularly of the younger class) who do not
contemplate finishing their education with
him, should yet remain as long as circum-
stances will permit, from conviction that
| they would derive proport'onally greater ad-
vantages and he begs leave TO assure the
American people, that no exertions will be
wanting on his part to render this seminary
(which will he equally open for the reeep-
| tion of students from every part OF the uni
ted States) in all respects worthy OF their
| patronage.
