VTOTICE is respectfully given, that a
Public EXAMINATION, in the
Quanky Academy is to commence on
the 23d of July next, and to be continu
ed that day and the two following, dur
ing the usual school hours and that
A Rhetorical Exhibition,
Is to take place on Thursday the 2 CM,
to begin at 9 o'clock, A. M.
On Monday the lower, and on Tues
day the higher branches of English edu
cation are to underco examination
;ind, on Wcdnesdaj", mathematicks, phi
losophy, and the lanjruasrcs. Previous
to the Exhibition, or on Thursday morn
ing, will be read the respective merits
or demerits of the scholars, as evinced
from the Examination; also, a report of
conduct and progress during the whole
of the preceding session, or the result of
weeklv notices on the School Register,
.of each individuals standing. Honors
jand Premiums, then, to be conferred on
; scholars who have csneciallv distin-
k j .
guished themselves.
lo the above Exercises the Trustees
and Principal solicit the attendance of
the Parents and Guardians of the youth
committed to their care, and of other
gentlemen and ladies friendly to the pro
motion of literature.
Our Institution first went into opera
tion in January last with about twentv
iscnoiars, ana nas since increased its
number to upwards of forty. Previous
experience on the plan of Mutual In
struction, or that of the Monitorial and
Lancasterian combined as circumstances
required, connected with the facilities
afforded by having a uniformity of the
most approved school books, have ena
bled the Principal, the Rev. Sidney
JVcller, A. M. to conduct the School
himself, with no assistance except that
of his scholars. Should any, not ac
quainted with the above plan, doubt the
facility which it affords an individual for
teaching a large number advantageously,
let them not hastily decide against (what
is thought by many whose opinions are
entitled to deference) an improvement
in education: but as one means of set
ting light on the subject, let them attend
the coming Examination and judge for
themselves from the effect of the plan.
The next term (to continue about four
months) is to open after a recess of a
few days, or on Monday, the 5th of Au-

Domestic Wines. We have ex
amined (says the Norfolk Herald)
several samples of wines made by
Col. Adlum,from his vineyards in
the District ot Columbia, which
for richness and flavor, are not
surpassed by similar kinds of wine
ot European vintage. This is an
other evidence of the peculiar fe
licity of our country in being bles
sed with a soil and climate genial
to the production of whatever can
be supplied from almost every
part of the globe, and of our inde
pendence naturally as well as po
litically ot the old world. Of the
perfection to which Col. Adlum
has brought the culture of the
grape, ami the delicacy and rich
ness ot Ins wines, we have often
heard; and it has been a mutter of
surprise to us, that others, with
perhaps greater advantages, (in
INortli-Larohiia tor example) hayo
not followed hi5? example,
