Inn ouuopS.

In Drawing, and in the Spanish and Italian
Languages.
g PINI5TM respectfully offers 10 :he citizens OF
y. Aiexsndrix his services to teach in the above
branches.
Mr.. Pinistri ia an Italian artist, has taught in New.
York for The space of twelve ears, and in this District
for the la three years, and is now teaching in some OF
the most respectable families of this place.
Drawing is useful to ALTO young ladies, as an &C
complishment and an elegant finish to their educa
ton; TO young gentlemen, to facilitate and give an
elegant finish to theii course Of pursuits. viz: to a law
yer, in the use OF maps, direction Of land, &c to a
Doctor, for the anatomical study, drawing chemiea'in
struments, &c to a merchant, to understand stamps
patterns, &c; to mechanical professions, it is not less
dress without it, to carpenters, shiP.builders, house
builders, &c it is indispensable: in fact. there cannot
be q well.fnished mechanic Of any k,ne without a
knowledge of Drawing
This art, like all others, should be taught gradually
beginning with simple drawing ard shadowing in
crayon, water color, India ink, &c. until the pupil sr
rives at a proper proficiency to paint in oil. .
. Any other course is not calculated for
proper instruction. The principles ofthe ART must be
understood as the learner progresses. Is. Pinistri re.
fers to Mr. J G. Chapman, ON this head. lie propos
es teaching all the various branches OF painting, inc'u
ding imitation in oil on cambria or paper, an expedi
tious method, and preferable to any other in teaching.
The Spanish Language is now PARTICULAR, useful,
from the con.tant intercourse between the United
States and South America.
The italian Language-them most beautiful and har-
monious of all tongues will not only be an accomplish
ment, bu' of real and practical advantage. Derived
from the Latin, it must please professed scholars and
students. II is now the common, and seems 10 be the
appropriate language Of music, which renders it pecu'
lsrly adapted to young ladies' 1t is singular that there
re no silent letters but one. and every word is ended

The question was then put, and the witness had
leave to Withdraw the paper. lie withdraw it &C.
eordingly.
Mr.. Stanbcry was then further examined, both
by tho respondents Counsel and by Members of
The House.
On motion Of Mr.. Whittlcsey, the Journal was
further corrected by inserting the facts, that Mr.
Stanbcry's speech had been sent for by a Member
from the Office OF t!ic n,.gcnccr; and that when
one of the first interrogatorcs had been PROFOUND

evidence To tina House, with little delay as pos
sblc; and that the said Committee be authorized
to sit during the sessions of this House. to scnd

Mr. Med. observed tina, the expcdicncy of adopt
ing such resolution after the experience the

ho should deem it great trcspass if lie said one

MIR. McDuiiic observed, in explanation, that tho

ed to him by gentleman who was not disposed to
trying the accused at any disadvantage; but rather in

however, should be extremely reluctant to voto for
