FEMALE EDUCATION ABROAD.

In the matter OF higher and broader
female education distinct advances con-
tinue to be made in Russia and England.
Under the direction OF the ministry OF
agriculture Russia is to open an agri-
cultural college for women who have had
an intermediate education. The main pur-
pose IS to give general training. but
students will also be permitted to con-
fine their attention to special branches
gardening, bee culture. poultry keeping.
and cattle and sheep breeding. After
taking the three years course they viii
be entitled to ill various posts under
the ministry of agriculture. and may hold
further the position Of administra tors of
the crown domains and OF teachers in
the intermediate agricultural schools:
So far, 325 young ladies have announced
their intention to enter the college, which

the kind in Europe.
At oxford there has been a new step

secondary schools for girls The college is
designed to prepare students to pass the

In Germany, on the other hand. the
question OF woman education, SO far as
the universities are concerned, has en-
tered upon the reactionary stage. Now only
Heidelberg and Freiberg admit women

zion
IN the State Senate yesterday Mr.. Hal
pey introduced a bill. drafted by Major
Daniel proposing that the sum OF $4,000
be appropriated TO have Valentine make
a statue of Lee to be placed in Statuary
t7all at Washington.
Each State is entitled to place statues
OF two Of its worthiest SONS there. We
ere already represented in that hall by g
copy OF Houeoun's statue Of Washington
End /. seems most 1T that we should now
send a marble or hronze efiigy Of Vir-
ginia's next greatest son, Lee, to keep
company with the Father Of his Corn-
try.
The Invitation to each Of the States to
alI two OF the spaces in Statuary Hail
was extended in February, 1855. and the
only requirement is that the statues shall
be OF persons deemed by the States them
selves TO be worthy OF this national
commentator.
Mr.. Halsey's bill provides FOR the ap-
pointrnent Of 3 committee of the two
houses Of the General Assembly to carry
into effect the purposes of the measure.
That II will be passed. we think safe
to predict. and If northern sentiment on
this subject be IN accord with the views
expressed by h1r. Charles Francis Adams
in several Of his addresses. such a sta
tue at Washington will give satisfaction
60 the American public generally. How
ever. we are not perfectly sure that Mr..
Adams knows his public: but that is
neither here nor there. The governments
