rphe collegiate year of this Institution will Iwjrc
| after consist of one continuous session, beam
ing or. the lasrt Wednesday in September. and
? losing ou the last Wednesday in June, on which
day tlie annual coiuiuenceuient for eonlenring de
crees will be held. .
The ensuing session will open on I lie ??5Hii u
the present month.
The charges ore: .
For tuition |>er session of nine months, |4U W
1'se of room, furniture, library, and at
tendance ?
Board, (per week) '??'*' .
To those who do not board in college the charge
for tuition is the same, and lor the use ol room,
furniture, library, Arc., $25 per session. J here is
an admissiou fee ol $10, and a small charge eacu
session Ibr contingencies. Fuel and lights are lur
uished at cost, and washing at 37J cents per dozen.
The necessary college expense* ol a boarding stu
dent will not exceed $130 or $190 per annum. Al
the bills are payable one half at the beginning, and
the balance at the middle of the session.
With a view of giving to the different depart
ments of instruction a wider extension, and at the
same time of meeting a public want by rendering
ihe advantage of the college available to a larger
number and a more varied class ol students, some
important changes have been made in the ortler
and arrangement of the students. A new course
has been adopted, styled the Scientific Course, and
the degree of Batchelor of Philosophy (H f.) at
tached to it. Il will occupy about three year*. and
will embrace all the studies of the regular course
for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, with the ex
ception of the aucieiit languages. This course
will be specially adapted to those who wish to ob
tain what is called a prartical 'Juration, n* the
mathematical and scientific studies will have
greater prominence than usual, particularly in their
application to the arts and business of lite. Those
who may wish to become practical surveyors, en
gineers, or agriculturists, will be enabled, with the
advice of the faculty, to select their studies with
t pecial reference to those objects, and will receive
the aid of lectures and illustrations. The doors ol
the College will also be opened to those who may
wish, under its general regulations, to pursue any
trench of study tor any length of time. They may,
under the direction of the faculty, select such sub
jects as nre suited to their views and objects in
l?fe, and. on examination, may receive a regular
. ertificate of their standing and proficiency in the
tame. . , .
The number of officers and instructors has lately
been increased, and others will be added as the
wants of the several departments may require.
Measures are in progress for tilling immediately
the chair of chemistry, geology, mineralogy, and
botany in a manner that will add greatly to the in
terest and profit of those studies.
The preparatory department has been l''ared
under careful and efficient management, in a build
ing which has been handsomely fitted up lor its
reception. It has an able and experienced teacher.
and is under the general supervision ot the faculty.
It will thus afford the best advantages for laying
the foundation of a thorough classical and mathe
matical education.
Boarding pupils will be received under the im
mediate care and direction of the principal, and at
.about the same expense as regular college stu
^The buildings have recently undergone thorough
repairs, and the grounds are being laid out and im
proved in a manner that will add much to the con
venience and attractiveness ot its already beauti
Ittl situation.
It is believed the College never presented so
strong inducements as it now does to young men
who desire to obtain a thorough and liberal educa
tion. J- 3. BACON,

I mu*<l States Illustrated, has been commenced
I lie publication of it great national work, of a very
coatly niiil magnificent description, lor whieli the
liberal patronage ol* the American public is eonli
dently expected. It will appear in parts with such
promptitude that two volumes will be completed
belbre t he close of the present year. These vol
umes will be issued simultaneously, one being ex
clusively devoted to eastern and the other to wes
tern subjects. Each part will contain four steel
engravings, from Original drawings by eminent
,irti>ts. representing either some remarkable view
from the splendid landscape scenery of. the coun
try. or some public cdiltce, whose architectural
beauty or historical character eutitlea.it to such
commemoration. Ten parts will compose a vol
ume.
The present volume of the western section will
contain, among other ilbistrutious, views ol the
^raiid and peculiar scenery of the Mississippi
liver, from its origin at Itasca Lake down to its
mouth, below Xew Orleans. In a similar manner
the volume ol the eastern sectiou will represeut
only such subjects from the sea-board Slate* as
are most striking and truly American.
Hut it excellence has thus been aimed at in the
engravings, the literary department also will have
every attention bestowed upon it. No expense
has lieen spared to render the work in thiis respect
also a national monument. Many of the best and
popular writers ol the country are engaged as
regular contributors, and the editorial direction of
1 he whole has been entrusted lo the rare of Mr.
Charles A. Dana. whose mime i> a sufficient guar
antee that the work will be one of solid merit, as
well us of elegance and beauty. Each number
will contain from IV to lfi pages letter press, print

lowing rates, whose cheapness only the largest
circulation can justify: single numbers, each 50

the national welcome with which the prospectus
was received, and the manner in which its pro

To have demonstrated that an original Ameri

substantial support of the American Public, and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is a
success of which the publishers are proud.
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor. They still believe, as they said at
the commencement of the undertaking, that, "a
popular magazine must amuse, iuterest, and in
struct. They have still unabated -faith in the
oppulence of our own native resources," and they
appeal to the experience ol the last six months to
show with what reason.
The first volume is now complete, and may be

Hampers new monthly macja
zme has now reached a monthly edition of
over One Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand
copies, and the demand for it is still increasing
with greater rapidity than ever. This unparal
leled and unexpected success has compelled the
publishers to resort to extraordinary means Im
printing the work with the requisite rapidity, nnd
at the same time preserving the typographical ele
glance by winch it ha* always bee 11 distinguished.
It is now electrotfped by a new process, which
makes it easy to print any number of copies from
the same plates, without iu the least impairing the
clearness and beauty of the impression. The
publishers desire to repeat their cordial acknowl
edgments to the press nnd the public for the ex
traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts to interest and instruct the great body
ol the American people, nnd to renew their as
surances that every possible effort will be made
to increase still further the claims of their maga
zine upon public favor and support. It will con
tinue to present, at the cheapest price, the most,
interesting and instructive literary matter, original
and selected, domestic and foreign, in the most
elegant and convenient style, and accompanicd by
the finest pictorial illustrations which a lavish ex
penditure of money can command. They appeal
with confidence to the past, as a guarantee that
their promises for the future will l>e abundantly
lulfilled. '
Terms.?The magazine may be obtained of
booksellers, periodical agents, or from the pub
lishers, at three dollars a year, or twenty-five
cents a number. The semi-annual volumes, as

Eclectic magazine for '53.?The
sphere and the utility of the Eclectic Maga
zine have become too well defined to require ex
planation. Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying a want which is widely and increas
ingly felt by a more educated and intelligent |>or
tion of the community, it till* a place which eould
Ik- filled in no other method than by the principle
of selection which it adopts. The great reviews
and magazines of Great Hritain and the Continent,
through which the leading minds of the uge are
accustomed, almost exclusively, to express them
selves, are too numerous to be reprinted, as well
as too costly to l>e imported by the general reader.
They contain, likewise, much, with their desirable
articles, that has but a temporary or local interest,
and which is worth to the American reader neither
the price nor time required to peruse it. To select
from the whole held of journalism all that is really
valuable. l?oth the graver dissertations and discus
sions of the reviews, and the lighter and more
versatile contents of the magazines, is the pur
l>ose of the Eclectic. The best pnrts of-all are
thus secured, without the cost or incumbrancti of
the local or feeble parts of any. The main |?ortion
of the Eclectic will continue to be composed of
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews;
while everything valuable or brilliant in ull other
periodical issues, particularly of Great Britain,
will be carefully presented. A richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus be furnished than the
contents of any single periodical could afford.
Embellishments of the highest order of subject
and engraving will occupy each numl>er. Among
these will be richly engraved portraits of the most
distinguished living characters, especially in lite
rature, art. or statesmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr. Sartaiv who lias no superior in
the striking and effective style of the mezzotint.
Terms.?The Hrlrctu Mega zinc is issued on the

PATENT GAS KUCULATOIt.?The In
ventor (Dr. Kidder) of thin economical and
useful instrument deserves the thanks of the gus
consuming community. Tlie .saving effected by
the use of it will be found fully 2f> per cent, in ev
ery person's gas bill. It can be so adjusted as to
supply the gas at any desired pressure less than
that of the street, aiid when once adjusted, the
Regulator will continue to supply the gas nt that
pressure uniformly, without requiring further care
or attention, jnid independent of all the fluctua
tions of the street pressure. An additional advan
tage obtained by this Regulator is a tight of a more
agreeable quality, in place of the bluish white
color of the ordinary gas light, occasioned by the
high pressure at which the gas is consumed. As
an evidence of its practical utility, it is now in op
eration in some of the principal hotels and Inrge
stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony to its value. It lias also received the
united commendations of the press.
Hotel proprietors and storekeepers in the city of
Washington and its vicinity, desirous to avail
themselves of the economises enn obtain all fur
ther information by calling on the subscriber, who
has fitted one of these Regulators up in his store,
and will give an illustration of it.

Thb Daily Globe and The Congkessional Globe
in sin rendering my interest in the organ 0! a
great political party, I cherished the purpose of
j outiiimug the Congressional Globe, and, if possi
a!i! Tr 10 per'eCt 11 iuto tt fu" hiatory at the
?Tf U the debates accurately
and fully with the proceedings?all stamped with
the verity ol an official record. From ths passage
in the letter ol General Washington, which 1 have
quoted, it will be t>ereeivcd thut he thought this
othee might be combined with that of a regular
newspaper; and it is certain that the avidity of the
public (or news ol the less important kind greatly
i?- u to give wing to llie weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of perfecting
he reports ol the debates in Congress and giving
them the official stamp, I now propose to send
tnera abroad, in conuection with the new*-of the
uay, 111 such haste as shall outstrip full and accu
rate intelligence sent from llie seat of Government
in uny other lorm whatever. Jt will even untici
pate the scraps of news forwarded to cities within
two hundred and fifty mile, of Washington by tele
graph. Before Ihe events thus transmitted are
.Pi!L !r, ,? V * v"?:,lin? P?rrw' <<br instance, ol
L Vi ^ t he-Globe containing them
will have reached the post office ol that citybythe
Express Mail ol the previous night. The urocesa
public W ** effected 1 now la>' ^fore the
I will have a corps ol sixteen Reporters in Con
gress; each 111 succession will take notes diirimr
P* r""U,,l,T' ll,eK r.tM,re' prepare them lor the
Press, put them slip by slip in the hands of com
I>0*1 tors, and thus while a debate is going on in
Congress, it will be put in type, and in a fow min
utes alter it is ended it will be in print. I shall
by this means be enabled to send by the Express
Mail ol & o'clock p. m. for the East, West, and
North, and by thai 01 y o'clock p. m. for the South,
all the proceedings of Congress up to the ordinary
hour ol adjournment. Thus the accurate debates
ol Congress will reach the cities two hundred and
fifty nines Irom the Capitol before their daily morn
ing papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneous news I shall be careful to
gather Irom remote sections of the country by tele
graph. I will obtain from the Executive Depart
ments, through official sources, the matters ol mo
ment transacted in them, and through agents
employed lor the purpose, all the city news of con
sequence 111 sufficient time to lie put into the Globe
and mailed in the Express Mail trains. In this
way 1 hope to create a new era in the dissemina
tion ol news Irom Washington. H ithcrto no news
paper has attempted to give authentic accounts oi
things done at \V ashuigton bclbrethe public mind
at a distance had received its first impressions
lorm irresponsible telegraphic dispatches, or by
"-writer. biased by peeuliftr view*.
V\ ashuigton has now become so great a centre
ol political interest during all the year?the pro
ceeduigs of the Executive Departments and the
information collected by tl.em even during the re
cess ol Congress is ol so much importance to the
interests ol every section of the oonntry~thtit I
shall continue the publication of the daily paper
permanently, with a view to become the vehicle
ol the earliest und most correct intelligence.
It is pari ol my plan to reduce the price of the
daily paper to half that of similar daily papers; and
thus 1 hope to extend its circulation so as to invite
advertisements. I will publish advertisements of
the Government. To subscril>ers in the cities I
hope to submit such terms as will induce them to
advertise their business in every village through
out the I nion, where the Globe is sentdaily under
the (ranks ol members of Congress, all ol whom
take it, ami some of them a large number of copies.
1 lie installation ol a new Administration and a
n???n?gr?S? porlen1,U n,uc.h chan&e "> the course
ol public affairs as the result of the next session.
Many vast interests which were brought up in the
last Congress were laid over by the Democratic
3viy Tl^" lhe rVonofu ^"watic Ex
f The new modeling of the tariff; the new
and ' question of giving homesteads,
and making every man a freeholder who may
choose to become one ; the approximation of the
Atlantic and 1 acific oceans by a national railroad
across the territory of the Union : reform in tlie
Army, Navy, and civil offices-all these great ques
O'js.' w,t'' a thousand minor ones, deeply affcctinir
multitudes of men and every State in' the U?S
m ! forTh "mlured>y Pl,hlic opinion, come
up lor the Governments decision. These new
issues, cooperating with old ones, coming up to l>e
disposed o by tow actors on the scenes at Wash
ington, will I?e apt to modify greatly, if not alter
essentially the party organizations of the country.
Io these elements of interest another is likely
to be introduced by the interposition of the agita
ons.of.Europe. After near I? forty years of pSe
Europe there is an evident restlessness tliut
now seems iniught with tendencies threatening
war, n,,d il war conies, in all likelihood there will
lollow such universal change that the United States
an scarcely hope to escape its vortex, indeed
from late events it is apparent that our government
is already drawn into European difficulties. These
mMCli,,."8l*nrieM .are <1,lo",a,cd to draw the public
mind towards the-next Congress with much ex
pectation.
The Daily Globe will be printed on line paper,
double royal size, with small type, (brevier and
nonpareil,) at live dollars a year.
The Congressional Globe will also be printed
on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal
quarto size, each number containing sixteen paces.
,lfnr i0,,Ot,:R!il"iNU Globe proper will be made
up of the proceedings ol Congress and the running
debates as given by the Reporters. The speeches
which members may choose to write out them
selves will together with the messages of the
President of the United States, the reports of the
Executive Departments, and the laws passed by
Congress be added in an Appendix. Formerly
rio??nVe< ""hxcriptions for the Congressional
Globe and Appendix separately. But this has
not been found satisfactory, inasmuch as it gave
an incomplete view of th* transactions in Con
gress; and therefore I have concluded not to sell
them apart, considering that neighbors can have the
advantage ol both by clubbing, in case individuals
shall nnd it loo onerous to be at the charge ofbotli.
To facilitate the circulation of the Congress
ional Globe, and cheapen it to subscribers, Con
gress passed last year a joint resolution making it
tree ol postage. I annex it, as the law may not
l?e accessible to postmasters generally:
Joint Resolution providing for the distribution ofthel-aw*
