ted that the war steamer Cyclops was on her way

sist on the punishment of those engaged in the re¬

nications between the English and American gov¬ 
ernments respecting the alleged acts of British 
cruisers and these communications were now in 
abeyance. During the abeyance the U. S. govern¬ 
ment had made a friendly overture that Her Maj¬ 
esty’s goverment should offer to the U. 8. a plan for 
their consideration which shall accomplish the 
putting down of the slave trade without producing 
misunderstanding. Her Majesty’s government had 
accepted that offer and were now engaged in con¬

LOCATION.

College is now permanently located, is situated on Main 
street, near the centre of business, and in one of the most delightful 
portions of the city. 
The rooms appropriated to tho College purposes In tills splendid 
block, are the largest and most elegant of any Commercial Institu¬ 
tion In tho country, containing over ten thousand square feet of floor, 
and furnished in a most superior manner. Every class of business, 
including Banking, Exchange, Insurance, Steamboating, Manufac¬ 
turing, Commission and Forwarding, Retail and Jobbing, Hotel, 
Nursery and Horticultural, is represented by appropriate offices, 
counting rooms and desks, which are supplied with all the various 
practical forms used in well regulated establishments. 
TIIE COLLEGE HANK. 
This is a Bank of discount and circulation, with a capital of half a 
million of dollars. The counters, desks, and other fixtures are on the 
most approved plan of a City Bank, and all tho departments furnished 
with the various account books, blank forms, Ac., in actual use The 
Bills of tills Bank, and of several other Btuiks represented, are beau¬ 
tifully engraved and printed on genuinl bank note paper, for circula¬ 
tion among the pupils. 
The Roal Estate Broker's, Insurance, Exchange, Steamboat, Rail¬ 
road, Express and Post-Offices, are supplied with account books, 
blank forms of Deeds, Mortgages, Policies, Bills of Exchange,

Duplicator, Ac. Real estate, ships, merchandize, and every other va¬ 
riety of property, being represented by scrip. 
ROUTINE OE BUSINESS. 
The pupil, after securing the elements of Ponmanship and Book¬ 
keeping, which only require a very short time, as everything in the 
elementary course is reduced to the utmost simplicity, Is provided 
with a capital, consisting of cash, real estate, stocks or merchandize, 
corresponding with the nature of the business in which he is to en¬ 
gage, and opens his books accordingly; deposita his money in the 
Bank, receives his Bank book ; imports aud forwards merchandize; 
buys and sells ships, stocks and real estate ; purchases aud ships 
goods on his own and joint account; receives and manage estates ! 
makes out all his notes, drafts, bills of exchange, acceptai ccs, account 
sales, accounts current, and computes all tho commercial calculations 
connected with his transactions, as tlio business requires, and bal¬ 
ances his b*oks weekly. In a word, every variety of busincts is ap¬ 
propriately represented, and actually performed by the learner until 
he becomes practically familiar with the process of opening, conduct¬ 
ing and closing books, and tho whole routine of mercantile transac¬ 
tions, from the detail of a country store to the more complicated ope¬ 
rations of the highest banking institution. 
From the above brief synopsis of this new mode of instruction it 
will be seen at once, that the grand desideratum of a Mercantile 
Education is attained, viz, practice as well as theory. 
This system has grown out of a long experience as practical ac¬ 
countant and teacher, and is so perfect in its actual adaptation that 
every Btudent who pursues the course faithfully will, it is confidently 
believed, be able, in an incredibly short space of time, to act as Book¬ 
keeper In the highest establishment, without any misgivings ns to his 
ability. It is the design of the proprietor, without regard to lubor or 
expense, to make this institution, in every respect, all that its namo 
imports, viz.: a MODEL MERCANTILE COLLEGE

I N order to advance the interests of Agriculture more effectually 
than I can by spending money in attending public trials, which 
often are very unsatisfactory to the public, I offer the following 
premiums: 
1st.—ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS 
To the farmer who shall cut the greatest number of acres of grass and 
grain, in the shortest time, in the best manner, and with the least ex¬ 
pense, with Ketchnm’s Combined Machine, manufactured this year, 
during tho ensuing harvest 
2d.—ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 
To the farmer who shall cut with any Ketchum Combined Machine, 
not less than fifty acres of grass and fitly acres of grain in like manner. 
3d.—ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 
To the farmer who shall cut one hundred acres of grass, with any 
Ketchum Mower, in like manner. 
4th.—FIFTY DOLLARS 
To the farmer, who shall cut fifty acres of grass, in like manner, with 
any Ketchum Mower. 
5th.—TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS 
To the farmer, who shall harvest twenty acres of clover seed, with any 
Ketchum Machine, in like manner. 
The grass must yield not less than one and a half tons to the a era 
The said work to be done with machines manufactured by the sub¬ 
scriber, at Buffalo, N. Y. 
Farmers competing for the above premiums shall forward an affida¬ 
vit or affidavits, setting forth the facts, viz: the kind of land, crop and 
amount thereof per acre, the quality of work, length ef stubble, time 
occupied, giving the hours, and the expense incurred for labor or re¬ 
pairs, stating each item and such other circumstances as may be 
proper, together with the numlwr of the machine and the year pur¬ 
chased, to T. C. Peters, of Darien, Gen. Co, N. Y, before die 1st of 
September next, who shall have the privilege of making or tiaving 
a personal examination made, or may require additional proof before 
making his award. 
I will furnish blanks for affidavits to any person, and reserve the 
privilege of publishing any of the statements and the awards in my 
next circular. Two premiums shall not be awarded to the same person. 
The result of accurate trials of this kind, will enable the public to 
judge with more certainty of the value of Reaping and Mowing Ma¬ 
chines compared with the scythe and cradle, than can be done at trials 
as usually conducted, for the reason that so small a quantity of either 
grass or grain is cut, that it Ib difficult for Committees to Judge wiUl 
scrupulous accuracy of the features and c^nurit^of^ft^ different tna- 
Mannfacturer of Ketchum’B Combined Harvestera.
