superintendeney Of the Male department of this
Institution | wonsa inform the pssls, Chat it is
not my design to neglect Ia any },aisa1tiar the
interests of the Female school with which have
been so long connected. The two departments
viii continue as heretofore. entirely distinct and
separate, but the thorough instruction of the pupils
OF both viii receive ny constant and unremitting
attention, aided by corps OF faithful and COM
petent teachers. 1 have engaged the services of
Mr.. James A. johnson, in the Male department
and viii add to the number OF teachers as the
interest and warts of the school may require. 1t
is the wish OF the Board as well as nay own, that
Classical and Mathematical school OF no mean
rank should be established, and 10 effort will be
spared TO render it altogether worthy of the sup
port of an intelligent community. The course
of study viii be full and complete embracing the
entire range of English studies, the Latin, Greek,
and French languages,-the Natural Sciences
Illustrated and explained by lectures and eNper-
imentS-and Mathematics in all its branches
pure and mixed including special attention TO the
science of Cica Engineering. In assuming the
additional and heavy responsibilities OF this
double position, would respectfully urge upon
the parents and friends who desire 10 avaii them
selves of the advantages thus offered, that their
cheerful corporation be given in sustaining the
regulations OF study and discipline, and thereby
promoting the interests of the Institution. The
government of the school viii be Kind and pa
ternal, bat firm and deci1.d, enforcing attention
TO duty BY every consideration that can be pre-
sentsd 10 the youthful mind. Il is recommended
that pupils coming from distance should board
at the house OF Mr. Smith, who has been APP
pointed the Steward, where the regulations as to
study and department may be enforced. and the
pupils be under the immediate control of the
teachers. l. win also be understood, that when

THE RAPp1NGs OUTDoNE.--The Gillian
paper, Ell Pueblo de Copiapo, says credl-
bic witnesses, who have just arrived here
from Caldera, in Chill, communicate to US
the following particulars: A succession Of
musical sounds have been distinctly heard
beneath the water, at the distance OF a
quarter OF mile from this port Every
evening, about dusk, large, parties go off IN
boats TO listen to this mysterious concert OF
submarine music The tones are various,
and so we'll combined as to produce perfect
harmony; and the sound, in its duration
and vibration, resembles the deepest tones of
the organ.
Ships crews are daily attracted to the
spot, besides multitudes beth Of young and
old, and Of men and women, who pass hour
after hour in listening to the vibrations
which seem to pass along the keels OF the
ships, while they entertain each other with
a thousand curious, probable, Or ridiculous
conjcctures about the cause Of the phcnome-
non Our friend, Mr.. w, assures Us chat
on the spot whence this submarine music
proceeds, the surface Of the water assums
a deep green color, emitting an ediuvium
like that which rises from bodies ia state

WoMEy AND MEN-Women may talk OF
their inherent rights as much as they
please, but they can't overcome nature;
they may preach about the equality OF the
sexes, but they can't overcome facts and or
ganizati6ns. Men and oaks are made to be
twined, and women and Ivy were made to
twine about them Though an equality
were established between calico and caesi-
mere tomorrow, it would not be a week
