.sThis Institution, which is under the super.
intendence Of Messrs. BABBlTT and NUGENT, oc-
cupies one of the finest locations in the beautiful
and salubrious Forest City, and consists of a
handsome and commodious suite of rooms, pa.
pered and carpeted, and elegantly fitted up
with counting desks, gas chandeliers, &c. Al.
ready pupils from several States ars reaping its
advantages. OF the utility of such institutions
too much cannot be said. To understand buis-
ness, a preparatory course is as necessary as
in any Of The professions, andbesore the CON-
mercal College system arose, but u poor provi-
sion was made for branches OF this nature; hence
the blunders ofignorant business men, and tho
countless frauds that were palmed offupon them
by the arful and better informed. Tbs names
