?inl airy position. The house is large and comnio
dioua, with ample grounds and other facilities fo
amusement and recreation. The principal, so wel
and favorably known in this city, and in Nev
York, from her long experience in teaching, hopei
to give entire satisfaction to all who may conndi
their daughters to her care. She is a native o
France, and familiar with its language and lilera
lure, and conversant with the beat and easiest modei
of imparting io her pttpils a perfect knowledge o
that language, so that they art not only read ant
write, but speak it Huenllv. She has secured abli
aerikianta for various departments, so that til
branches of an English as well as French educalioi
will be thoroughly taught. Pupils who reside u
the family have the peculiar advantages of hearing
and convening at all times in the French language
and of perfecting themselves in the science of music
being under the surveillance of an experiencet
teacher. The course of instruction, besides thi
usual elementary branches, includes all the highei
undies pursued in the most approved northern aem
narie*. The discipline is mila and affectionate, ye
lecided, and is maintained by appeals to the affec
lions and conscience of the pupil; it is designed, by <
proper development and cultivation of the liettei
qualities ol the heart, to bind more affectionately th<
l>upil to her teacher, and by it to secure obedience
As sound physical, moral, and intellectual improve
nrient and culture, are the great objects desired, it ii
:hc aim of the principal not so much to crowd the
memory with words, as to draw forth and train tin
lystematic and vigorous action, the observing, refecting,
and active powers of the mind. The
charges to those who reside in the family are, foi
board and tuition in all the branches of French and
English, $200 per annum for a single pupil; bui
when two or more are entered at the same time, e
iberal deduction will be made. The additions
barges per quarter are for music, piano, and guitar
$15; use of instrument, $2 50; vocal music, $5. Tc
lay scholars, the charges for tuition in tnc firs

entrance. No deduction will be made to those whe
tbsent themselves after commencing a quarter, uncus
prevented from attending by sickness. Bills in
ill cases to be paid in advance. Every attention ie
>uiil to the religious as well as moral and intellectual
ies are ever inculcated. Those residing in the fumly
will attend such churches as their parents may
lelect, under the care of a teacher. They will atend
the Episcopal church with the Principal, when

This hemp mast be equal to the Rife Rein hemp
now at the navy-yard, Charisetown. la deciding
upon offers, preference will be given to American
hemp, if offered at equal or lower price than may be
suited for foreign hemp. The hemp muat be subject
to inspection and approval at the navy-yard,
Charleslown, Massachusetts, by persons to be appointed,
by and under instructions from this Bureau,
and none will be received which shall not
pass such inspection.
Persons who may wiah to fumiah hamp perfectly
free from tow, and ready for spinning, can forward
sepaiate proposals for such hemp; which hemp, if
the proposals should be accepted, must, like the other,
be subject to inspection and approval at aaid
navy-yard before it will be received.
reraonts mnkiup otter* mu*t state the price naked
per ton of 2,240 pound*, delivered at said naryyard,
and must forward with them an obligation
from two persona of sufficient pro|>erty to become
sureties for the fulfilment of the contract to be entered
into, in one-third the amount of said contract.
To diminish the haaard to contractors of forwarding
lientp from the western States, which may not
be of proper quality, or sufficiently well prepared,
the Secretary of the Nary has appointed two agents,
who will, when requested, inspect hemp that may
be prepared and intended to fulfil contracts to be mad*
umler this advertisement. One of thee* agents will
iftBeci the hemp that may be sent to Louisville,
Kentucky, and the other that which may be aen
to St. Louis, in Missouri. These agents will b*
furnished with samples of the Riga Rein hemp, excepting
for hemp fully prepared for spinning, and
with the meant of testing the strength of hemp, and
will be ready to give all information in their power,
to enable contractors to have their hemp properly
prepared, and to ascertain the strength ana character
of iL before the expense of sending it to the navy-yard
is incurred. It must be distinctly understood,
however, that the inspection and opinion of
these agents is merely to diminish the risk to contractors,
by furnishing usefol information. The only
inspection by which the hemp can be finally received
and paid for will be that at the navy-yard
where it is to be delivered.
In addition to the bonds which will be required
for the faithful performance of the contract, ten per
a :ti i !i.j j e iL -II kill,.
cciiium win uc ucuuuou irum uio cuuuuiu ui an wma
