pressing their thanks for the gratifying and un-

reer of their institution since its establishment
at the CAPITAL, and stimulates them to renewed
exertons TO meet, in the most efficient manner,
the rapidly increasing demands for a practical
and comprehensive course of Mercantile Train
ing. The great practical experience of the
Principal, in heavy Banking and Commercial
Houses, assisted by educated and accomplish.
ed gentlemen, has enabled him to bring 10 a
degree Of perfection a system of CoUNTINe
Room instruction, by oral exercises, NOT AT.
TANNED BY ANY OTHER INSTITUTION. Each stu.
dent by this new process, is drilled at the desk,
Individually, step by step, until he has master.
