FgIGETFrL RAvAGES OF THE CHOLERA AT
MEssINA.-The Boston Advertiser of the 29th
nit. publishes some portions OF a private letter
from T. w. Behn, Esq. U. 5. Consul at Messna.
which gives lrightiu: account OF the devastation
caused by tie pestiience there. The ignorant
populace thought the Taa1y was difiised by the
foreigners and were plotting to massacre them,
but that they died too fast TO have the necessary
energy. Mr.. Behn says he has seen so much real
iarbariSm that he does not hold the majority OF
the inhabitants of Messina anv better than the
most savage Ind ans. More than one-third of
the foreign population had Gied Of the cholera,
and with all classes the fear was 50 great that
many persons Were carried away before they had
expired. the parents saying to those employed 10
will be in few moDents.'' Mahy were
until cart passed which had room Tor Some few
more. MIR. Behn says he knows Of one man who
though alive was seen moving on cart among
the dead, and taken from it by charitable
person. and is TOW living.
The population Of the city reduced by
isration to about $4,000 10000 persons. of
whom 10000 TO - O0O died from the 22d of Au-
gust to the 10th OF September. o. the Consular
body 10 Others remained but himself the Swiss,
and Mr.. Jeaaer. the Prussan Consul. The praise
worthy assistance rendered by Mr.. Bean during
the height Of the calamity, has been acknow ledg-
ed in an official letter Df the intendente OF Mes
sina TO the Lieutenant General Fiangier the
Royal Governor of Sicily. in which it is said that
he performed the part, bV turns. of physician,
nurse, father. and benetactor to all who had need
OF his succor."

The Seminary will be furnished, at an early
day, with Chemical, Philosophical, and Astro-
nomical Apparatus. and select Library.
Tire course OF study will be sufficiently extern
sive. intellectual education consists in mental
discipline aud deCetopnent. a thorough course of
mathematical and linguistic studies, which have
direct tendency 10 enlarge, invigorate and dis
ciphne the mind, will be chiefly relied on to se-
cure the best results in this very important de-
partment. Studies, TO be really valuable and sal
utary in their disciplinary influence; must be few
and lndicIousiy chosen. The crowded courses Of
our Female Seminar les constitute evil against
which every friend of sound, thorough, efficient
education must protest. The number of studies
has been doubled III the last thirty years with no
corresponding advancement in good scholarship.
Experience in the art oi teaching. with a careful
observation OF mental development. has wrought
clear convictions that few studies adapted to
the wants of the youthful mind, and thoroughly
mastered, Is pereIaule to he very extensive but
deSult0ry, ragmentary. and superficial course
usually pursued in Female Semnafies.
Inc mind does not act clearly OF iorcibly when
diverted into many channels; nor does it proceed
80 fast. Three studies and one accomplishment
are as many as ought 10 be pursued at one time.
While governed by these principles in training
the intellect. special attention will be given to the
incucation Of sound moral sentiments. to the for
nation of correct habits, purity OF manners, and
10 the acquisition Of such accomplishments dis
! tinguish social life. That special attention may
be .aid by the teachers to this very important
part Of female education, it is desirable that pupils
iron, distance. board with the Principal, who
has purchased the large and commodious resi-
dence. designed in its structure, for the boarding
| department OF the Seminary.
! Being determined 10 establish an Institution Of
the highest order. teachers of the lest qualihca-
iions will be employed.
