 CONVENT AT ; OHARLESTOWN. There is a rising ground in Charles towns rom, which the traveller views the most delightful prospect. He sees the gentle river playing around the foot of E" Mount Benedict ;sa and Boston and Charlestown rise before him. as if they were of small importance compared with the Mounts in this vicinity. a@
 On the top of this 's Mount'' stands an Academy, whose proprietors are Roman Catholics, and who have given it the name, of the 1" Ursuline Community on Mount .BenedsGt." .s,ssss.& . .. .s..*s9 ..E This Convent, or Academy has been in existence number of. years. IL was commenced in Boston, and tor the last two and half years has been established in 'Charlestown. Hs.T5s tf9 i@
 This Convent stauds on tho top of the hill, and is large brick building having a cross at the top, with two wings projecting from the rear of the ediice, and has the appearance of containing sufficient room to accommodates l5O Protestant children, to be educated by Roman Catholics!

After q young lady has consented to, become Nun, she wears first the wAite veil three months, which she can lay aside if she become discontepted with her situation but should this new mode of life please her fancy, she then has a further trial for the, space of two years. If she continue to wear the white veil for this time. and both parties agree, she then puts on the black, and binds herself ina VOW to, Nsingle and chaste life in the Monastery so long as slie lives. 1t IS de- sirable to the fraternity that they bring with their person all the property they pos- sess. that none of the things of this world may engage any oftheir affections, and t is also desirable hatthey should be trained to this s' holy office" from their youth up. These Nuns are well instructed in every polite branch of education, that will no, Interfere with the Roman Catholic faith.' and thus are rendered suitable to become the teachers of the Ursuline Communitya on Mount Bcnedict," or oi some other Convent not yet in existence. E The Nuns on taking the veil put aside their Christian and surname, and assume new one i; and are known in the Convent by iIle name of, Mary Benedict, Martha, ,SEc. The Nuns are not all employed as In- struct0rs ]; many of them assist in the do- mestic affairs of the house. Those who bring money with their persons have the highest privileges of the Nonnery. Fhe teachers are very tastefully dressed in black, and are decorated with a splendid cross suspended by surplice to a great length, and are very frequently reading prayers, probably in. the Latin language. Then wells hang from the forehead, and are |ihrown over the head, or in front. as occa. sion requires.
