Payments to be made quarterly in advance^ and three months' notice requiied before the removal of a Pupil. It is believed ihat the arrangements for receiving Boarders will be found very satisfactory. In order, however, to make them quite complete, the Principal is authorised to obtain nt once from England, a Lady of competent and approved experience for the Female department. It has also been resolved to procuie immediately, if possible, Philosophical apparatus, so essential to elementary instruction in physical science, and to the demonstration of even the commonest natural phenomena. In respect to the Domestic comfoit of the Pupils, we do not of course promise luxury and indulgence. This would only be to promise education in effeminacy and extravagance, in no case mom absurd than in a comparatively recent colony, where especially so much is dependant on individual tact and effort, and where, above all places in the world, the way to competence or wealth lies far removed fiom " the Castle of Indolence." We do engage, however, by all available means to furnish a home of comfort and enjoyment, and yet one which shall be throughout every part educational — supplying in the play-ground and the dining-room, as elsewhere, systematic encouragement to habits of politoncss, candoui", and genero&ity, of exactness, self -reliance, earnestness, and reverence for sacred things. Whoever may be the pupils entrusted to us, we will diligently prepare them for lading their place m this present world ; and, Gon forbid that we should forget their concern with the world which is to come ! N. B. — Applications on the business of the establishment to be made to the Principal, at the College and Seminary.
