NYsTTo HALL SEMINARY, WEST MEDFoRD,
MAss.-The advertisement of this excellent
school, under the superintendent of Mrs. T.
P. SMITH, will be found in the Patriot to-day.
From our Massachusetts exchanges we learn
that this institution is deemed one Of the most
select and desirable in that land of schools and
academies. Its reputation, which is now es-
tabished, has been made, too, in single
twelve-month. 1t is conducted upon a new
plan, and one which We have long been partial
to. We refer to the system of restricting the
number of pupils, and employing teacher for
each speciality taught. We learn from the
Boston 7raUeler, 10 which we find a highly
complimentary notice of the Seminary and its
annual examination, that it contains but TWEEN
ty-eight pupils, while there are eight tators.
These last are selected, too, with a view to
their thorough scholarship aud adaptability to
to bear part in conducting the institu ton.

The Cumberland was still recediug at this
point yesterday, but the late heavy rain will
perhaps check its decline, aud produce a slight
rise. There is yet very heavy stage of water.
The Nashville and Cumberland both arrived
from New Orleans yesterday; The Atjdd came
up from Paducah, the SUalLOW from Cincin-
natl, and the Monticello ard A. L. Dagis from
points above.
The John Simpson left yesterday evening for
Memphis, and the Hartsri1e went up stream.
The boats departing to day are the Month

DR. WV HUNTER brother Of Dr. Robert Hunter respect
fully announces to all those who afflicted with diseases
of the Throat and Lungs that he has returned to st. Louis

There is probably class Of diseases which vide
spread in their nature terrible in their results the
diseases of the throat lungs It, therefore, becomes
matter of sOtuce to the profession to know there
be any means whereby those diseases be controlled and
ameliorated.
Dr. R. Hunter and myself have made these diseases our

the only whereby these diseases be reached is
direct local application prescribing Of medicines which
are breathed into the lungs in the form Of vapo and
consequently brought in contact with the whole internal

TESTIMONY OF HIGHLY INTELLIGENT
IRIsHsAN.-Mr. Patrick Shortall, native
of Wexford, Ireland, who emigrated some
time since to the United States, writes as
follows in letter to friend at home, pub
Gshed in the London Times We Judge
from what he says, that he understands his
countrymen in the United States a great
deal better than they are understood gen
orally:
Il often wish to God the Irish would not
come here. The prices are high. work
scarce. and the cities crowded with idle men
and women. Soup-houses and poor houses
are as common here as in Ireland, and it is
twice as hard to get relief from them We
hear ora war between England aud Amer
lea, but as to Irishmen in America, Queen
Victoria has no more loyal subjects In Great
Britain or Ireland than Irish Catholics in
the United States. and i; would be well that
all should know it, There is bad feeling
here against England, but certainly not BY
lrishmen quite the contrary. The native
American or Know-Nothing party rules
nearly all America now, and hates all
foreigners. especially Irish. Shooting. stab
bing. and assaults on persons and houses is
the common order of the day. As to Nit.
chell. Meagher, Dohenny. and such, they
profess, through their hireling papers. te
have wondrous power and influence here
but it is false. The Irish Catholic. here
hate them"
