The 3d year of this Institution will commence on Monday, the 4lh Si pt. next. The year is divided into four quarters of eleven weeks each, with a vacation of one week at the close of the first three quarters, and one of five weeks at the end of the year. The Instructors arc Rev. J. Covert, A. M. President, S. K. ISosworlh, Professor of Mathematics and the Natural Sciences, and Miss M. A. Shaw, principal teacher in the Female Department. Mrs. Covert will instruct in French, Drawing, Painting, &c. As many oilier competent teachers will be employed as may be needed to instruct thoroughly, all who may favor the Institution with their patronage. The Trustees lake pleasure in announcing to their fellow citizens and tne public generally, their undiminished and ever-increasing confidence in the Institution. It has accomplished all that could reasonably be expected, and has given, we believe, general satisfaction. The Board have recently adopted a regular and systematic course of instruction, limifar to that pursued in College, though less extensive. The course, however, will be thorough, requiring four years to complete it. The branches pursued during the first two years will comprehend those required by our best Colleges as a preparation for the Freshman Class; and those pursued during the last two years will comprise their Freshman and Sophomore studies. Pursuing this course of instruction, students may fit themselves for advanced classes in College, for business, or for entering upon the study of their profession. A diploma or certificate will bo given to such as complete a regular course in this institution. Those who are not prepared, or who do not wish to enter regularly upon the course, can be accommodated with studies of their own choice as formerly. A similar course will be pursued in the Female Department, wilh uch variations as shall be deemed suitable and appropriate. Sacred music will be regularly taught, gratuitously, to the members of the Institute. The Trustees and the Faculty pledge themselves to the community, to leave nothing undone lhat can reasonably be done to make the ln-si'' .ion worthy of the confidence and support of the friends 1 education and religion. Board can be obtained in good families on reasonable terms. Young geiillemcn who wish to pursue an economical course can board themselves in buildings provided for that purpose, at a trilling expense. A Teachers' department will be opened during the first eight weeks of the year. The terms per year for common English branches arc $20,00 Higher English branches and the Classics 32,00 Drawing and painting extra 3,00 General expenses 1,00 No tuition bills will be made out for a less period than a quarter except in cases of sickness.

NEW CHURCH MUSIC The Church Choir: a collection of Sacred Music : comprising a great variety of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, Anthems and Chants, arranged for the Organ or Piano Forte. By Joseph Muencher, Professor of Biblical Literature in the Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Gambier, Ohio. In two Darts. Part I. Contains the Rudiments of Vocal Music, Psalm and Hymn Tunes, &c, &c. Part II. Contains Anthems, Sentences, Chants, etc., &e. In the preparation of th s collection of Sacred Music, it has Deep the aim of the cdilorto furnish Churches wilh as great a variety of Tunes, composed in different styles, and adapted to the various occasions of public worship, as the limits of the work would permit. The collection, it is believed, will be found sufficiently copious for all the ordinary purposes of pub-lie and social worship. Instead of a figured base, the music has all been carefully arranged for the Organ or Tiano Forte, from the conviction that many performers on those instrument! have not had the opportunity to perfect themselves sufficiently in the science of music, to play the harmony wilh facility, even of plain Psalmody, from figures. It will be seen that the pages of the work are enriched with i variety of original compositions, prepared expressly for this collection, and also with pieces from various English authors, not usually to be met with in this country. No pains or expense has been spared to get the work up in a style, in every respect, equal to any collection of music which lias been published in this country ; and the price, for the size of the volume and execution ot workmanship, is believed to be as low, if not lower, than any work of the kind. The Church Choir, for the short time in which it has been published, has been very favorably received by Professor! and friends of Sacred Music. Teachers and others are invited to examine the work.

On the evening of the day on which the corner stone of the Observatory was laid, preparations hud been made by the Ladies of Cincinnati for having a Tea Party on a large scale, the proceds of the sales of tickets of admission to which were to go to benevolent purposes of the Temperance Society. The Garden of Mr. Shires, with the Theatre attached, was expressly fitted up for the occasion. For an account of what occurred there we again draw on the columns of the Cincinnati Gazette: The two main entrances to the Garden, that is, from Vine and Third streets, were arched over. The arches lighted up brilliantly, and covered with tasteful representations on oil paper, bearing upon them, in large letters, the motto of the Temperance Society, "The integrity of our pledge we will EVER SUSTAIN." These arches, thus ornamented, looked beautiful, in the intense darkness of the night. The interior of the Theatre was neatly arranged. It was ornamented with evergreens, and well selected paintings, and seemed to speak of the joy which was so soon to De enkindled 111 so many human bosoms. There was in the arrangement a hannv com bination of good taste and elegance, and one could not look upon the scene without emotions of delight. But we looked with great wonder, we must confess, upon the supper orranp-ements. There were eleven hundred feet of tables. Every portion of mem was loaded down with provisions, and so arranged, so elegantly ornamented, as to look, brilliant ly illuminated as the pavilion was, "like a grand festival scene. Another sight we cannot forbear to mention. It was the happy faces which every where greeted us. The throng was dense. Yet there was joy all around! The young, the middle-aged, the aged; were there, all animated by the best feelings, glad to meet each other, glad to look upon the display, glad to meet our mothers, wives and sisters who ha'd secured for all that display, but gladder yet to hear aim 10 Deuom tneir Honored guest, our country's and man's triend! The whole scene was full of life It was an occasion which appealed to and stirred up we purest leeiings 01 me nearr,. At an early hour the Theatre waa filled to overflowing. We were there at half past six, and found it difficult to obtain a seat An hour after, and no access to the interior could be obtained. Over live thousand persons were in the garden! At seven o'clock the Torch Light Procession formed on Sixth street, and at eight arrived on Third, to escort Mr. Adams to Shires' Garden. The eltect ot the 1 orch Light procession was truly fine. We felt this more especially when it was formed on Third street, (reaching apparently from the Ilenrie House to Race street, four souares. and received Mr. Adams, with the committees appointed to wait on him. As soon as he entered it, the line closed, and the procession marched forward to Shires' Garden, the spot on which the Tea Party was to be iriv- on, oiiu iuc ceremonies 01 tne evening celebrated. At half past eight the patriot guest arrived, with J udges Wright, Burnet, McLean, Senator Morehead and Dr. Mussey at the Theatre. He was introduced to Mrs. Beecher, and the Ladies of the Temperance Society, by Judge Wright Bellamy Storer, Esq. responded, as the organ to this introduction, in the following neat and eloquent address: Mr. Adams: You have this day. at the call of a scientific bnrlv. performed for them, and I trust for the human race, a noble work. When you ascended vondor hein-hr. you saw from its summit, the rare physical advant ages mat. nature lias Bestowed upon our city; and you could not have been insensible to the vast improvement achieved by industry and art throughout our borders, during the brief period of our history. These exhibitions, I am assured, must have filled your I very soul with feelings at once elevated and chastened, for they are but the proud monuments of a free people, to enterprise and genius. A spectacle is now presented, which invokes no aid from the abstruse sciences to adorn it. On hp- half of these ladies, the mothers, wives, and daughters of our city, I welcome you to this delightful" in- iciview wnere me wnoie neart can pour out its full tribute, and the highest power of mind acknowledges its justice. Sir if in the study of yonder 1 leavens, the utmost to be learned is but a glimpse of the in- nunc, 11 suns ana vision, unKnown to us, still perform their glorious revolutions; if star after star, and constellation, have appeared and departed, and no one can trace them in their illimitable flight; there i, t...i....r 1 1 ,. ' 10 in uic Diuuy vi iiuiiiuiuiy, no sucn limit 10 our investigations. Heaven born sympathy is the moral telescope, by which we can readily discover all, even the minutest elements of our social bemrr. This. sir, is the secret of the great movement in the reform 01 our race, which lias directed the efforts of these your auditors, and impressed a new character upon the era in which we live. And they feel assured that no rmrtion nf vnnr eventful life would you wish to remember with more pleasure, than that which has been devoted tn thn reformation and improvement of that moral condition of your fellow man. Sir, the influence of these temperance associations are not confined to time, it reaches beyond it into the eternal future; and when the heavens above us, and all that is now the labor of science to unfold; all that taxes thejmightiest enei-gies, shall have been "rolled up as a scroll," the immortal beings who have been redeemed from error, and restored to usefulness and happiness here, will shine forever as stars in the firmament of God. Sir, in the course of events it is scarcely to be hoped that you will ever meet again this numerous assembly in this world of discipline and change; but the results of this our heartfelt interview, I pray may be known and felt beyond the grave. Permit me again to present to you, my dear sir, the deep and abiding sympathy of this audience and on their behalf to tender you again a thrice hearty welcome. Never at fault and always appropriate, Mr. Adams in a position somewhat novel, spoke with singular felicity in reply, to the welcome of Mr. Storer tendered in behalf of the Ladies of Cincinnati. Luhes and Fellow Citizens: -In the course of the last year it has been by fortune, in the exlre-mest verge of old age, to find myself unexpectedly surrounded by a great number of my fellow citizens of my own State, and to receivo from them indications of esteem, regard and affection, which have been perfectly overpowering to me. And I have more than once been reduced to the necessity of acknowledging a total want of language with which to express the feelings by which I have been overpowered. t It seems to me as if there has been a climnx in that state of things. 23, 1843. No longer ago than yesterday, I fouud myself in the assemblage of the people of my own sex in this great City of the West; and then received from that assembled multitude a manifestation of regard which I was utterly unable to answer as I ought to have done. But now, when in addition to the multitude of my own sex, I see are added the fairer part of creation, in the presence of whom the first idea which is brought to my mind is, that of my mother, where shall I find language to express what I feel? And if I lose not all sense, motion, and animation, it seems to me, it must be because supernatural strength is given me to bear what I see. Fellow Citizens and Ladies I have heard it said, and, in the experience of a long life, I have more than once seen, that praise is too much for frail human nature to bear. And in the course of the last few months, having been under the necessity of examining my own heart, to ascertain whether that has not been my own case, at this time, I must say, that if be so, I shall ever have to charge it, in my case, to the ladies of Cincinnati. My appearance in your presence was not occasioned by a voluntary movement on my part, for the purpose of visiting this great and growing portion of our country. I have long desired, but in vain, to visit the new creation, the new world rising in the west of this continent, which in the meditations of my heart, I have long flattered myself, is about to present to the contemplation of man a scene never before exhibited upon this earthly globe a scene of a great multitude, which no man can number, of (he human race, improved and improving their condition; changing, in some respect, the nature of man elevating above the position he has occupied hitherto in the animal creation, and approaching him nearer to Him of whom it has been said "a little lower than the angels." Of these hopes, which I have long entertained, this present scene serves to me as a mighty consummation.The cause of Temperance, for which this assemblage has convened, was the emanation of a female mind; nnd in the cause of temperance the ladies of Cincinnati have already contributed, perhaps, more than their proportion of the whole race of mankind. This scene is exhibited in that sacred cause; and when I consider what will be the consequence of the temperance reform which is now pervading the civilized globe, and of which this scene is one of the manifestations, I cannot but hope, that it is one of the steps in the progress of man towards perfection, so far as it can be attainod upon this planet From the New Haven Courier. A MOTHER'S LOVE FOR A MANIAC. Near the easterly base of the West Rock, opposite the place where the ascent commences, may be seen a small rustic cottage surrounded by a few stunted trees, and standing isolated from the world, by its remoteness from all neighbors. Few evidences of fertility are found in that region. Sterile hill sides and plains where vegetation can find but feeble hold, pervades that Rock, and the chance way-farer there, wonders how the inmates of such a home, can find enough by which to sustain nature. But the wants are few and simple, when reduced to such as are absolutely required to nourish the animal economy, and even upon the desolate heath, and under the shade of the sterile mountain, may be found the means of moderate sustenance and support. The reader will find in the humble abode to which we have just alluded, but two occupants. In the stillness of that secluded spot, strange faces are seldom seen in winter, although during the summer many visiters to West Rock pass it by. But during the long dreary inclement months none, save the two we have mentioned, are to be found in this isolated abode, and who are they ? We commend the reader to go and see. A mother, with her maniac son, and he chained io the Jloor " None other are there. This mother has had a prepossesing look. Her costume and address are better than the mass of her sex, in such an unfavorable station for the development of character and refinement. "She was not lonely" she said, even during the dreariness of winter. She had her son for society. She had him to watch over and care for, and now he was chained he was secure. He could'nt get away from her. He had been insane for eight years. Formerly he acted as a guide to the "Cave" but his insanity increased, and he often wandered, and days would often elapse before he returned. He was subject to fits, but he was now secure in the house, and she had him for society and to comfort her! This is the undying nature of woman's love, of a mother's affection for her chlidren! Such was the cheerful response of a self-denying parent, when replying to the inquiries of a stranger whom she accosted at the door. We inquired for the son, and asked permission to see him. In a small dark apartment to which access was had through the little "spare" room, we found the chained maniac. He lay upon a low bed, with a dim light admitted through an opening in the wall. He was occupied in knitting, and thus kept in repose, seldom having any violent paroxisms of insanity, so soothing even to the disordered mind is employment Rarely have we seen a face which bore such evidence of character and beauty. None of the usual squalidness of extreme poverty in his looks. None of the fierceness and matted hair of ordinary maniacs! His fine Grecian face and well moulded features pallid from confinement. His AaA ova flnehaA f tural fire. His rich beard and black hair drooping in nngieiB, over nis wiia and supernatural race.

We also learn from the best authorities that diseasna nf tua ti.rot and chest, as well as scrofula and analagous complaints, were of very rare occurrence among them. Indeed, we believe it to be a fact which cannot be controverted that with those natinna u-lmr )ir and beard are worn long, the people are more hardv .1 ! 1 3 I. 1 - . 1 '.

Nor can this be attributed to any climate influence; for no people are more ex- NUMBER 59. posed to atmospheric changes than the inhabitants of those northern regions. "The fashion of shaving the beard, like many other foolish and injurious customs of civilized life, has often originated from absurd and ridiculous causes. Amonir the first who nmrticpil ai,o.,ir, n. 1 j were the soldiers of Alexander the Great, who were commanded to remove their beards, in order that uiey migni not serve as Dandles to their enemies in battle. When Louis XIII. ascended the throne of France, in Jt5(i, it was the custom ofthe inhabitants to allow their faces to remain as their Creator made them. This monarch, however, was a beardless youth, and thus, in order to ape royalty, was shavin introduced, and beards proscribed. In Spain, also, was the fashion introduced in a similar manner. Philip V. was a beardless boy, and therefore, for' fashion's sake, did his subjects, hitherto noble and manly in appearance, reduce themselves to this unnatural and childish state. The hair being a bad conductor of caloric, is admirably calculated to retain the heat of those parts 1(. ICio, nun iu protect me important organs within from the effects of cold and the constant atmospheric vicissitudes to which man must be exposed. The importance of this protective agent will be appreciated when it is borne in mind how many inflammatory attacks are induced by the sudden application of cold, and by suppressing that function so necessary to health, the perspiration. With a long and heavy beard a man can brave with impunity the "peltings ofthe pitiless storm," and bid defiance to the cold winds of winter while a shaven and unguarded throat must succumb to the piercing blast." THE GOVERNMENT BANK. Our readers may not be aware, but they ought to be, (and should ponder on the fact,) that we have now a Government Bank in full and complete operation, issuing Bank Notes in form and manner not in the name of a Bank but in the name of the United States. The Treasury of the United States is now issuing Fifty Dollar Bank Notes, meant, and paid as such. The form of the Note is this: "The United States Promise to Pay, one Year after this date, to , or Order, Fi fty Dollars, with Interest, at the rate or One Mill per $100 per Annum. "Washington, , 1843." This Note is signed by the Treasurer, and countersigned by the Register. It is finely engraved in the semblance of a Bank Note, and over the top is "Receivable in Payment of all Public Dues ." The Note is payable one year after date, with one Mill interest; because this is necessary to comply with the Treasury Note Law. In fact, it is payable on demand in specie, in order to make it a real Bank Note. This is done thus: On the back of these notes is this endorsement: " This vole will be purchased at par for the amount of the principal and interest thereof, on presentations of either of the Depositories of the Treasury in the city of Mio York." The "Depositories" here named are the Merchants' Bank, the Bank of America, and the Bank of Com merce.

"Let Congress authorise the Treasury to give the people five, ten, and twenty dollar notes in exchange for specie then the money changer's table will be overturned. Brokers, sharpers, shavers, and bank note swindlers will find their occupation gone. The western merchant, who gets United States Notes for his wares, will have no occasion to purchase any eastern draft at one, two or three per cent premium his money is money here his note is our note." Of these notes, sooner or later, five millions ot dollars (received, paid out, and redeemed by Corporation Banks as Branches) will be issued, not by authority of Law, but by the "Secretary." Have the people opposed on the one hand, and supported on the other, a National Bank, only to substitute in its place a vast Government Exchequer, founded on no law, and governed only by the Executive will? The National conduct, in respect to this question, presents a most remarkable Phenomenon. We admit by this very issue of United States Notes, that a National currency is necessary, and yet we transfer the management and control of that currency from a Board of experienced and intelligent men, acting under the responsibilities of law, to a mere clerk of the President, acting without any responsibility, and making the local Banks the managers ofthe National Finances! History cannot produce an example of more singular inconsistency, nor one more absolutely opposed to Republican Principles. Cin. Cliron. BALTIMORE CONVENTION. The Boston Atlas thus responds to the proposition to have an exhibition of Domestic Products at Baltimore, at the time of the Whirr Pnnupntinn in r Q -. . . 1. illl , next. We heartily unite with the Alas: Proposed F.xmRiTinM n Ununn- Pn,n. The following article we copy from the Baltimore Patriot. We think the suggestion it contains a most excellent one and we sincerely hope it will be adopted. It will give additional eclat to the glorious occasion upon which the Whigs ofthe Union will then be convened. It will identify the Whig cause, as it ought to be identified, more strongly even than it now is, with the protection of that great interests of American Industry. It will couple that great subject with the election which is to take place the, next year and it will indissolubly unite the name of Henry Clay with the Bupport ofthe true American system. Let the Mechanics, the Manufacturers, the Producers of Baltimore, set the thing in motion. Let them determine to hold a great National Fair, in Baltimore, at that time and invite the co-operation of their brethren throughout the Union. We nave not the least question that the call would be responded to cheerfully and that such a show would be presented as would do honor to the country, gladden the heart of every American who shall behold it, and establish tho Protection of American Products and Industry as the firm and settled policy of our Land.
