Silence, silencel shouted the indig

'cynosure of ncighboring eyes appear
alarmed at his position, at his fate, OF
even attentive to what was going on?
No: he not only appeared, bnt was,
the most unconcerned individual in
the whole court; he even tried to

amusing himself with external things
about him, and, on Wordsworth's

He contends that the dominant race

commends that all the schools sup

should be disbanded which cherish or
develope foreign sympathics: that the

countenanced. He is particularly Sc

that all those who make this country

GEORGETOWN COLLEGE, c.

THNHE next session Of this institution will COM
L. nence on Monday, the Sd Of Septembel. The
preparatory department and collegiate course are
both conducted by able and experienced Profess
soCs, who devote themselves to the moral and In
teuectual advancement Of those confded to their
care.
A large and spacious building has just been
completed to be used exclusively for the accom-
mediation Of TIE younger students. Their dormi-
tory, play grounds, study hall, class rooms, DC ,
will be entirely distinct from those OF the other
students, and officers especially assigned will at
tend them IN their PastiInes and preside over their
studies. y complete separation will thus be ef-
fected between the younger and older students
the advantages Of which must be apparent to all
those who have the least experience In the educa-
ton Of youth.
The observatory Of the College, its extensive
Philosophical apparatus, rich and vlried Libraries
and Cabinet Of Minerals, Geological Specimens
and Shells, afford to the Students Of this Institu-
ton advantages rarely to be met with.
