 REMARKs.-The mercantile community have been in state of great excitement this week, and although the number of failures have been less, yet confidence is not restored.

TNHIS establishment has been in operation .A one year,and the liberal patronage which it has already received has far exceeded the expectations of its friends and proprietors.- It will hereafter be under the superintendence of J. PEARL, A. B. who is also sole proprietor.

 MT. Pearl will receive few lads into his family, and exercise careful supervision over their moral, physical and intellectual education, upon the following terms:
 For English branches, board, rooms, wash- ing, care of clothes, &c. (payable semi-annu- ally in advance,) $2O0
 Those preparing for college, 225

Pearl will give course of lectures during each session in the science of Vocal Music, on the Pestalozzian system. There will be two vacancies in the year, viz. the months of May and November. The village of Fair-Haven is pleasantly si- tuated, two miles east of Yale College, on a peninsula between the mouths of the Quinni- l city renders it comparatively free from those temptations attendant on a city life, while at the same time it is not so great as to place it's advantages beyond reach.
 The healthy and retired location of the in- stitute renders it peculiarly adapted to litera- ry pursuits; and parents and guardians are assured, that constant attention will be paid to the manners, morals, intellectual and phy- sical culture of the pupils.

FOR THE 1IzcHr1ELp ENQUIRER.

FOR THE LIIcHFIELD ENQUIRER.
 The question lately up for discussion, whether the English language is sufficiently comprehensive to convey all necessary, agreeable and useful nforma-
 ton in the varied intercourse of society The reason that induced this inquiry is the almost ntolerobe currence of Latin, French, Italian German and Spa nish words and indeed long sentences, in books writ. ten for Americans and English. Now the object of whole pages and chapters is entirely defeated to the honest reader; indeed it amounts to almost defraud- ing What idea can the majority of readers associate with the following words parlezUoms, nonchalance, Oi pONoi &c. &c.? Now, though through the atten-
 on and exerons of my friends, have been instruct ed both in French Latin and Greek, yet have some regard for those who have not had the privilege of learning them. It is said, by the advocates of the practice of quoting foreign languages that our lar guage is barren, scan end unequal to all the exigen- cies of conversation and writing Now am not vain of my learning; but am vain enough to think that those lovers of foreign quotations not any too well acquainted with their mother tongue. will merely quote from authorities which cannot very civily be contradcted on this point. Sir James Mcintosh, an Engishman who is greatly distinguished as learned man, and historian, (having in connection with Sir Walter Scott written the Cabinet History of England) says that the English language is one of the piOGs languages ever spoken It is composed of words that made English from our cid Saxon ancestors, Scotch French, Latin Greek, Italian. and German Further look at Noah Websters large dictionary, and reflect if that immense volume, larger than large fa mly bible, does not contain words enough to carry the intercourse which natives require. Further, the persons least qualified to the task are those most apt to quote difficult words.
 lift will be of any use to any one, will transcribe few foreign words and terms, with the English con- nected with them. You can act your pleasure about Drnfno fhem.
