In the Senate yesterday, Mr.. WEBSTER

relative to the present distress in the money mar
ket, in which he expressed hope that the re-

marks which the latter made in his speech, and
which the former thought did him (Mr % m

Iris said here, to-day, that the Marshal OF the
D;str;ct has been removed, and that too, for
.auses not altogether connected with the RAN
soluh affair. The persons here spoken Of to
succeed to the Office, are Mr.. Corcoran of

I know nothing of either of these gentlemen,
but presume, of course, your wishes are in ia
vor of your townsman: and, therefore, he has
NV wishes too. No sympathy can be felt for
the present. or rather late, Marshal who, al
though an amiable man, was one of that famous

TeoMMuNrcATEp.

The Editor of the Alexandra Gazette is re-
quested, in his paper, to notice, in any way he
may think proper, the successful and skilful cure
of poor boy, who, not long since, had his leg
dreadfully fractured, and was otherwise much
injured, on one Of our wharves. No one who
saw the boy, at the time the accident occurred,
believed that he could have survived. He was,
however, most hnmanely and attentively visit
ed and constantly attended, and finally cured,
with the full and entire use of the fractured limb
by DR.. ALEXANDER ]. WEDDERBuRN-a physi-
eian and native of our town-to whom no
compensation for his services could be render
ed. but the heartfelt thanks of the family he be-
friended and this public expression of gratitude
and respect.

ST. JOHNS ACADEMY.

81. JOHNS ACADEM I.
YENHE public are respectfully informed that
h the Academy recently established by the
Rev. J. SMITH, at the corner Of Royal and
Duke Streets Alexandria, is now permanently
in operation, and ready for the reception of stu
dents.
The course of education pursued in this Aca-
DENY comprises all the various branches that
constitute sound English and Classical Educa-
ton 1t embraces the Latin, Greek, French and
English Languages; Logic Natural and Moral
Philosophy; Mathematics; History, Ancient and
Modern; Geography; the use ofthe Globes Elo-
cution; English Grammar, Reading, Writing,
&c. &c.
The Classical Department of this Institution
will be conducted by Mr. Il. G. Mclaughlin,
gentleman of high classical attainments, and Of
long experience in the education of youth, hav-
ing been employed for a considerable time as
a Professor in one of the most distinguished Uni
versities in this country.
The object ofthe gentlemen concerned in this
Institution is to impart to those who may be en-
trusted to their charge a solid and thorough
knowledge of the Classics, adopting as their
mode the " ratio Studiorum" which has SO de-
servedly attracted the attention and secured the
appreciation of the, Literdti of Europe and Anne
RIGA; system which, if properly attended TO-
can alone store the mind with useful and solid
knowledge, and form the elegant and profound
classic scholar. 1t need hardly be remarked
here, that this system entirely explodes the prac
tce which has of late been introduced into ma
ny of our most respectable schools, of putting
into the hands Of youth books composed of sem
fences and phrases selected from the different
authors, and substituting such erce,pta for the
original--a mode which may, indeed, lead to
rapid and superficial acquaintance, but can ne
yer convey the beauty, style, or spirit the Ro-
man and Athenian writer's. This remark is
suggested merely from conviction ofthe supe-
riority of this system over every other at pre-
sent known, without any reference or alluson
whatever
In the English Department, the most concise
and exact method will be pursued, and compe-
tent teachers provided.
Music will be taught without any extra charge.
Hours of attendance from 9to IL A. NJ, and
from to P. NJ; during which time the strict
est attention will be paid to the morals of the
students.
Terms made known by applying to Mr. Hugh
G. Mclaughlin, at the Academy, or Rev. John
