PIERPOINT’S SEMINARY ILL be re-opened on the first day of Sep tember next. In this Institution will be taught, besides the usual branches, the Latin, Greek, and French Languages, the Mathema tics, Natural Philosophy, Drawing, Ac. The Classical Department will be under the special care of 1\ J. McLaughlin, a gentleman of high literary attainments, of unexceptionable moral character, and who has had considerable experience in the instruction of youth. In this Institution (he Explanatory Mode of Instruction is pursued; which is based upon the obvious principle, that abstract terms and defi nitions are less intelligible and pleasing to chil dren than real objects; and that the instruction j which is given entirely in words, can never be [ so interesting and profitable, as that which is j communicated with the aid of visible and tangi ble things. Ry thus explaining and illustrating the subjects of study^ before the students en ter upon them, they are well understood, and their progress is thereby facilitated and much increased. The Proprietor is decidedly ]of the opinion that youth are more easily led than driven in the paths of science, and that order, in general, is more effectually secured by a system of mo ral, than physical discipline. This Institution continues to be well support ed, is now in a flourishing condition, and ar rangements have been made for the accommo , dutiun of an additional number of students. ; The Proprietor hopes that no exertions on his ' part, or on that of his assistants, will be neglect ! ed, that will tend to the moral and intellectual improvement of his students. ^Alexandria, August 15, 1831—2awGw MRS.

B. Hallowell’s course of lectures are also attended through the winter season.
