MRS. DAVID H. BURR'S
AfVf iick and English seminary far Young Indies, cornet
r of E and "ith slrtels, Washington city.
THE location of this seminary u one of the mosi
desirable in the city, on account of its healthy
and airy position. The house is large and com mo
dioua, with ample grounda and other facilities foi
amusement and recreation. The principal, so well
and favorably known in thia city, and in New
York, from her long experience m teaching, honee
to give entire satisfaction to all who may eonnde
their daughters to her care. She is a native ol
France, and familiar with its language and literature,
and conversant with the beat and easiest mode*
of imparting to her pupils a perfect knowledge ol
that language, ao that they can not only read and
write, but speak it fluently. She has secured ablt
asristants tor various departments, so that all
branches of an English as well as French educ ation
will be thoroughly taught. Pupils who reside in
the family have the peculiar advantages of hearing
and conversing at all umea in the French language,
and of perfecting themselves in the science of music,
being under the surveillance of an experienced
teacher. The course of instruction, besides th<
usual elementary branches, includes all the highei
studies pursued in the most approved northern sem
manes. The discipline is mild and affectionate, ye
decided, and is maintained by appeals to the affec
tiona and conscience of the pupil; it is designed, by t
proper development and cultivation of the bettri
quaiiues ui uic nrcui, vu uuiu mure auccuunaiciy u?
jiupil to her teacher, and by it to secure obedience
As sound physical, moral, and intellectual improve
raent and culture, are the great objects desired, it u
the aim of the principal not so much to crowd th<
memory with words, as to draw forth and train tlx
systematic and vigorous action, the observing, re
fleeting, and active powers of the mind. Tlx
charges to those who reside in the family are, foi
board and tuition in all the branches of French anc
English, $200 |ier annum for a single pupil; bu
when two or more are entered at the aame time, t
liberal deduction will be made. The additiona
charges per quarter are for music, pisno, and guitar
$15; use of instrument, $2 50; vocal music, j^>. T<
day scholars, the charges for tuition in the firs
department in French or English, ,jsre $10
together, $15; in the second department firs
class French or English, $8; together, $12; it
the second class French or English $7; togeihei
$10, in the third department, first claas, Frencl
or English $6; together $9; in the seconc
class, French or English $5; together $8; Latin $4
other languages, drawing, painting, and dancing
at professor's charges. Pupils can be entered at an)
time, and will be charged only from the dale of then
entiance. No deduction will be made to those wh<
absent themselves after commencing a quarter, un
leas prevented from attending by sickness. Bills it
all cases to be paid tn advance. Every attention ii
paid to the religious as well as moral and tntellectua
instructions of the pupils, but no sectarian peculiari
ties are ever inculcated. Those residing in the fum
ily will attend such churches as their parents ma]
sel act, under the care of a teacher. They will at
term uie Xapiscopni cnurcu wiui iac rnnuipui, wnci
no other directions ere given. Any other informs
tion, sod the most satisfactory references will tx
given on application to the principal.

SEALED PROPOSALS (endorsed proposals foi

31st day of May next, for furnishing and delivering
at the navy-yard, Charles town, Massachusetts, on
or before the first day of July, 1846, four hundred
tons of water-rolled hemp.
This hemp must be equal to the Riga Rein hemp
now at the navy-yard, Charles town. In deciding
upon offers, preference will be giveu to American
hemp, if offered at equal or lower price than may be
salted for foreign hemp. The hemp must be subiSfl
tn tnanarfiAn a nil annrrtvnl sat flam rata vv.vartl
! Charleatowii, Maasachuselta, by persons to oe sp|>oin[ed,
by and under instructions from thia Bureau,
and none will be received which ahall not
pass auch inapection.
Persona who may wish to furnish hemp perfectly
free from tow, and ready for spinning, can forward
separate proposal* for such hemp; which hemp, if
the proposals should be accepted, roust, like the other,
be subject to inspection and approval at said
navy-yard before it will be received.
Persona making offers must stale the price asked
per ton of 24240 pounds, delivered at said navyyard,
and must forward with them an obligation
from two persons of sufficient property to become
sureties for the fulfilment of the contract to be entered
into, in one-third the amount of said contract.
To diminish the hazard to contractors of forwarding
hemp from the western States, which may not
be of proper quality, or sufficiently well prepared,
the Secretary of the Navy has appointed two agents,
who will, when requested, inspect hemp that may
be prepared and intended to fulfil contracts to be made
under this advertisement. One of these agents will
inspect 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 be
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 it, 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 ia merely to diminish the risk to contractors,
by furnishing useful 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
centum will be deducted from the amount of all bills
for deliveries, and retained until the completion of
the contract, as additional security for its perform
