She will endeavor, by the most earnest exertions, to . m ik-.- iu character as high as that of any other Fc malo School in the country.

Those iti particular who become members of her family will excite the same solicitude, and receive ’•'V ?

Gentle influences, candid and truthful teaching will be the only means employed ; and to these it is hoped, no one will object. Mrs. Comegys will be assisted by teachers of abil ity and energy, thoroughly acquainted with the branches entrusted to them; and o hers will he added to their number, whenever (lie size of the SehooHdiall require it. Their exertions, her own constant supervision—the many n itnral advantages and beauties of the place—the healthiness of the sea-air, and bathing will, she trusts, Induce the citizens of Portsmouth and of Virginia to confide their daughters to her rare.
