Glasgow Female Academy.

The second annual examination of this In
stituton, under the charge OF Rev. Geo. 5.
Savage, its Principal, closed on the goth Of
last month, with an address by Col. Young Of
Columbia. The examination of the young
ladies' Oh history, chemistry, botany, English
grammar, astronomy, algebra, geography,
philosophy, arithmetic, mental and practical,
analysis, &C., gave clear and satisfactory
evidence to the large audience in daily at
tendance from the city and country, OF the
fidelity and ability of the teachers, and the
proficiency OF the pupils. Such is the course
Of instruction in this school, that the scholars
are ever ready for an examination, and they
respond 10 questions with a promptness
rarely equaed in any institution Of the kind.
Il was obvious TO dit, and remarked By some
most competent to Judge, that there could have
been no lessons selected for the occasion.
The intellectual improvement Of the young
ladies, was highly creditab'e to themselves
and TO their teachers, for the entire exer-
cises evinced close thought, and IN accurate
knowledge of the studies to which their
minds had been directed The writer, who
had the pleasure of attending the eyamina-
ton from The commencement 10 its close,
with no disposition TO bestow undue praise.
or indulge in commentator not warranted
! by the character Of the exercises, would beg
leave TO state to the public, that he has never
witnessed a more thorough, impartial ex-
animation oftho pupils OF any school, and he
claims the privileges (in behalf OF the spec
tators,) OF awarding TO the young ladies
generally the highest need of praise for the
accuracy and skill with which they very
promptly explained the difficult subjects
presented unto them. The members Of the
music class did themselves and teacher great
credit by the manner in which they per-
formed their res pectiye pieces. There was
during the last session, quite a number in
that department, and we hope that number
will he greatly increased The ensuing terms
for Mrs. Savage has meritea encouragement
by her indomitable entrgy and great skill a:

praise is due the little pupils Of the juvenile
department, for The manner in which they
acquitted themselves. The composition,
