In MEMoRIAM.-Rey. DR.. Carruthers deliv-
cred discourse Sunday morning, to large
congregation in the I'd Parish Church, COM
memorative of the late lamented pastor of the
Sd Parish, Rev. William I. Dwight, d. d.
Taking for his text portion of the. 9th verse
of the 18th chapter of Acts: "F0r he acGs a
good naan,"-the encomium bestowed upon
Barnabas, he paid just, as well as an Affection
ate tribute to the high mental powers, the dis
tinguished Christian character, the patriotic
zeal, and the faithfulness Of the deceased, both
as pastor and citizen. 1t was tribute to
which every heart in the assembly responded.
and to which every one who was acquainted
with this late eminent divine would cheerfullv
assent.
The intimate and close relation that had ex
listed between Dr.. Carruthers and the deceased
from the time of the settlement of the former
over the I'd Church up to the resignation of
the latter of the pastoral charge of the Sd
Church, period of eighteen years-aforded
the preacher ample scope for the theme OF his
discourse; and eloquently and beautifully was it
portrayed Such discourse, SO deserving and
just, should be placed before the public in
handsome form as memorial of one OF our
most eminent divines and patriotic citizens.

Browns Commercial College.

To any one desiring full and complete bus
mess and financial education such as would
fit The person for any station in commercial
business, we would recommend Browns Com
mercial College, which is now in its sixteenth
year Of existence, and where hundreds have
been fitted TO take high rank in commercial
circles.
The course Of Mr.. Brown includes penman-
ship, which is taught upon his own original
plan, without copying, and which advances
the pupil much quicker and more thoroughly
than by following copy set before him. After
acquiring good hand at penmanship the
pupil takes hold of book keeping and thor
ough knowledge of this important feature to a
commercial education is impaired
instruction in mercantile law; by an expert
enced member of the bar is taught such pupils
as may desire it, and, after going through
full course the young man is graduated and
ready to enter the counting room, bank or any
institution where full knowledge of book
keeping is requisite.
The thoroughness of the instruction impart-
ed by Mr.. Brown, especially in penmanship
and book keeping, has been testified to by
many of our first merchants who passed
through his college. His peculiar system of
teaching penmanship, in arranging and train
ing the hand and fingers to proper and easy
positions in guiding and holding the pen, has
met with the greatest success, and the pupil
is taught theoretically and practically the beau
tifm art His science in bookkeeping is to
teach the pupil to keep full sets of books with
out copying from text boolls-so that he at once
commences partnership day-book Of double
entry, and a complete set of all other books
necessary to thorough knowledge of the sys-
tenn.
Females, too, have the same advantages to
learn in this institution as males, and many
young ladies have availed themselves of the
privilege, and have become accomplished ac-
countants. The students have all their work
examined and serutinized by the teacher, and
the errors are pointed out and corrected. They
are obliged from time to time to draw up in
voices, drafts, bills of exchange, trial balances
and in fact every thing that is now wanted in
the largest Banking or Commercial houses.
MIR. Browns rooms are at No. 161 Middle
street, opposite the junction of Free street.
They are large and commodious, and the Prin-
cipal is ever attentive to the comfort of his
students,

Report Of the Female Charitable sooiatvI


Report of the Female Charitable Society
This Society, whose Fsfy-tiird year has
just closed, comes once more to make report
to its friends and donors, and present its claims
to their continued patronage. Owing to chang
es resulting from diminished number of man
ayers, the meetings last year were not as fire.
quent as usual, and no report was published.
During the two years which this Report covers,
two valued members have been removed by
death.
The name of one, Miss Eunice Deering, is
found on the list of the original members of
the Society, and though, for many years una
bic to attend its regular meetings, in conse-
quence OF feeble health, ever contributed TO its
support, and during the last two or three years
Of her life gaze the managers the privilege of
holding their meetings at her own house.-nor
did she forget its interests in the final DISPOSE
ton of her property. The other was Miss Ann
| Browne, whose loss is deeply felt, as she not
only gave the Society her cordial support, but
was, through many years one of its most ac-
tive and efficient laborers, -and both, no doubt,

they served, the plaudit, well done good and
faithful servants, enter ye into the Joy of your
Lord" The announcement Of recent death
| in distant city, tells us that another of the
earliest members, Mrs. buchanan, formerly Miss
Irene Nc. Lellan, has gone to her reward
Three new members have come in to take the
places Of the departed, and it is hoped that
new subscribers will be found TO supply the
loss of old ones rapidly passing away, that
| thus more may be done towards relieving the
wants Of the needy ones in our midst who look
| to this source for aid.
As the means of the Society have not in
creased with the increase of the price of goods,
its charities have been proportionabIy limited.
The following is a statement of the articles
disbursed since Oct 1863 :-403 yds. cotton
cloth, TAO yds. calico, 8 yds. cotton flannel, 81
| yds. wooden flannel, 80 ytls. wooden dress goods,
about 20 slzeins wooden yarn, AS pars boots
