We have had some opportunity of
seeing and ktewing, that our citi-
zens are in prosperous state, exhib-
iting signs of industry, '>enterprize,
and Improvement. We are cheered
and feel grateful thai a kind Provi-
dence has smiled upon us, and has
not only given our District pre-emi-
nence for variegated scenery, for
pure water and an abundance of it,
for salubrious air and an. mvigora-
ting climate, but has given perma-

present year; as we have not only a
plenty for home consumption, but

For such tokens Of divine favor
shown to our people, it should stimu-

the Giver of every good thing, by a

their patriotism, their honesty, andI

We are highly gratified at the very
ffatterlng prospects of this institution,
and think we can see in its rising
glory, the beauties of highly polish
ed and finished education; where The
graccs ofthe female mind will be de-
veloped, and shine in their proper lus-
tire; and where the finer feelings and
moral affections Of Inc female heart
will be cultivated, refined, and i'm
bued with the benign and saving in
fluerce of the holy principles of the
Bible.
With such a gentleman as Rev'd.
f.. r. Prcssly, ID. d., whose charac-
ter and qualifications are well known,
at the head of said institution, with
the other instructors, whose names
we recognize il the Faculty, we
cannot doubt the success of the
praiseworthy enterprise Of elevating
the standard of female education in
our upper Districts.
Westminster Remew.-tNe have
received. from Leonard Scott g. Co.
the American publishers, .the Octo-
Der number Of this periodical. From
the brief examination whick'wc have
been able 10 give this humber, we
can only say, that it is not wanting
iainterest and ability.
The article on Natural Systems Of
Botany is well wortl, the scientific
readers perusal. The article on the
christian Sabbath, and the Post
Office, though displaying much lear
min, and ingeniousresearch, we could
not recommend as the best for senti-

We have also received from the
same publishers the October number
of the London Quarterly Review.
