Ii is true that some females may be found, who
have passed the ordeal OF fashionable board
ing school education, who have minds strong enough
to resist the contagion which there but in
80 cases out of 100, where hundreds Of young, ar
dent, conding and enthusiastic girls are thrown to-

the example of one led astray thereby will be fol-
lowed BY all The error is in the system OF educa-
tion, and this must be brsken up That il grossly
one, the recent example OF the great head
and preceptor of the whole, Mrs. Willard, is too
conclusive a commentary
And thus these teachers of fashionable boarding
schools are running the country, by running those
who are to be future wives and mothers. They
treat them slaves; drill them in the most ridcu-
ous manner imaginable; put their cold conventional
ceremonies upon the warm sensibilites of their
ture, precisely in the same manner that the back
board used to be put upon their houlders and their
best and parest feelings OF course retrograde under
such discipline The system Of the Curteu bell

can only be properly educated under the maternal
roof; within the sound Of the mothers voice; with
in the reach and influence Of the mothers actions
and feelings. Every thing that fits young woman
for becoming good wife, and the mother of a race
Of eminent men, is to be obtained solely from the
mother. Well did wise mother say

Capture Of the spanish Schooner I'm A rn
stead.
This famous piratical vessel, about which so much
has recently been said has been captured, ana the
anxiety is therefore over. She, together with her
black crew Of fifty nine men and three whites, were
seized on Tuesday morning last in Gardeners Bay,
west Of Montauk Point, Long Island, BY Lieut..
Charles w. Chauncey, of the United States Survey
ing brig Washington. In the afternoon sh. was
towed into New London, where she will probably
remain till the time arrives for her to be given up TO
the Spanish authorities.
1t appears that the blacks put into Gardeners Bay
for water, and part ashore when the schooner
was captured. They had plenty Of provisions on
board and also specie and small Some ac-
counts say, that there are two hundred thousand
dcllars in coin slowed away in her hold Many Of
the blacks were stark naked and had belts contain
Jag doublcons tied around their waists. One negro
leaped board when Lieut. Chauncey boarded
her but brought toe with pistol shot, bat not,
however, till he had the belt from his body, hold
ing five hundred doub!oons. They were very flush
with their money, and had paid the farmers on Long
Island, doubloon per barrel of water
The facts relative 10 her seizure by the blacks
when two days out from Havana, which We gave
yesterday, were nearly correct. We stated that
with the exception &c the two sailors who jumped
over board, all the whites had been murdered, in
Guiding Mr.. Carrias, and his nephew Mr.. Riug
Bat since her capture by Leat. Chauncey, we learn
that three others saved for the purpose Of na

Of becoming pirates, and all they wished was to be

Thus much for the suspicious vessel which has
crsaed, for the past few days, such excitement.
There have been four Revenue Cutters cruizng for
her, beside the steam frigate Fulton, which cruzed
for twenty hours without once catching glimpse Of
her. The schooners Wave, Of this port, vigant, Of
Newport, and Rash, of New London, ont in

here yesterday, after having secured the coast from
