 Location. — This Institution is siiuated on AcadeB^ Street, in a 
 pleasant and retired part of the Town of Cobourg. The Town is 
 easy of access from every part of the country ; all the steam-boats 
 on Lake Ontario, plying between Toronto and Kingston, and Roch- 
 ester, call at Cobourg. The Proprietors of the boats have always 
 taken Pupils for half the usual fare, which, at present rates, would 
 be only 5s. from Toronto or Kingston. Boats leave Hamilton at 7 
 o'clock in the morning, and arrive in Cobourg at 8 in the evening. 
 
 Superintendence. — Besides the immediate superintendence of the 
 Preceptress and her Assistants, the Committee in turn visit the Aca- 
 demy, at least once in tour weeks, and attend the examinations for 
 llie purpose of ascertaining the proficiency of the Pupils, A Teach- 
 er is also placed over each department, thus keeping the classes as 
 distinct as is practicable, at the same time securing a more strict su- 
 perintendence over the morals and deportment of the Pupils. 
 
 Departments. — The Institution is divided into four Departments, 
 exclusive of the classes composed of those Students from each De- 
 partment, who are pursuing the French, Spanish, Italian and Ger- 
 man languages, and the Ornamental branches. 
 
 In the First Department, the Rudiments of Education arc com- 
 menced. The Studies are, Reading, Spelling, Writing, Geography, 
 Arithmetic and Grammar. 
 
 In the Second Department, the studies of the first arc reviewed. 
 Arithmetic and Grammar completed. General History, Analysis 
 of Derivative Words, Progressive Compositions, Trimmer's Natu- 
 ral History, Bakewell's Natural Philosophy. In these two Depart- 
 ments, two iialf days in the week are devoted to Plain and Ornamen- 
 tal Needle-work. 
 
 In the Third Department, the studies of the Second are reviewed. 
 Composition, History of England, Watts on the Mind, Jamieson's 
 Rhetoric, Goodrich's Ecclesiastical History, Geology, Astronomy, 
 Keith on the Globes, with the use of the Globes, Natural Philoso- 
 )hy and (!honiislry. Physiology, Critical Reading of the English 
 ?oets and Classics. 
 
 In the Fourth, or Highest Department, the Studies of the Third 
 are continued as Exerc;ises. Botany, Pab^y's Natural Theology 
 and Evidences of Christianity, Butler's Analogy, Abercrombie's In- 
 tellectual and Moral Philosophy. Snullic's Philosophy of Natural 
 
 I' 
 
T ■ >■ 
 
 nI I 
 
 * W k 
 
 History, Elements of Crijticism, History of Literature. If required. 
 Book-keeping, Algebra, and Geometry. Composition in the jour- 
 nal and letter form, or m written Essays, are required through th* 
 entire course. The Students of the several Departments are exex- 
 cised in Orthography, Reading, Parsing, and Writing. 
 
 Testimonials or Diplomas. — As the course of instruction is de- 
 signe<i to embrace all the various branches of a complete system of 
 Female Education, those who shall have passed through the course 
 with credit, shall receive testimonials bearing the signatures of the 
 Committee and the Preceptress, with the seal of the Institution affixed. 
 
 At the close of the year, in May, the Pupils of the Second and 
 Third Departments also receive Testimonials, signed by the Com;- 
 mittee and Preceptress. At the close of each Session, the junior 
 Pupils receive tickets for good deportment,signed by the Preceptress. 
 
 Teachers. — The most competent and experienced Teachers arc 
 engaged to give instruction in Instrumental and Vocal Music, Draw- 
 ing and Painting in Water Colours, Oil Painting, Miniature Paint- 
 ing, &c., French, Spanish, Italian, and German. These branches 
 will be left to the choice ©f the Pupils. Mrs. H. will converse in 
 French with those studying that language. 
 
 Lectures, Library, &c. — Lectures will be given to the classes 
 in Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, and Biblical History. 
 
 The Library connected with the Academy, contains 500 or 600 
 choice Volumes, embracing Histories, Voyages, Biographies, and 
 abo works on the various subjects of Study pursued in the Institu- 
 tian ; select English and French Poets, &c. &c. 
 
 The Institution is furnished with Terrestrial and Celestial Globes, 
 Telescopes, and various kinds of Astronomical and Philosophical 
 Apparatua. Maps and Charts. 
 
 The Academy is now furnished with three Pianos. The Berlin 
 patterns are the best in the country, having been obtained directfy 
 from Germany, and cost from £30 to £40. 
 
 A Normal Class will be formed at any time for the benefit of 
 those desirous of qualifying themselves for Teachers. 
 
 The Institution is designed to be useful and practical ; and from 
 the experience of many years, and from the proficiency of the great 
 number of Young Ladies who have attended the Academy, it is be- 
 lieved that such have been the results. 
 
 The flourishing condition of the School, as shown by the number 
 of Pupils having increased every year from the commencement, 
 has induced Mrs. Hurlburt to incur heavy expenses in providing 
 additional facilities for acquiring an education. 
 
 Play-Grounds. — Large and pleasant Play-Grounds are connected 
 with the Academy, which furnish the most delightful retreat for 
 Young Ladies, and aflbrd every opportunity for retirement and re- 
 creation. 
 
 The regulations of the Academy arc such as will most effectually

 ceptress. 
 
 Terms and Vacations. — The Summer Term commences on the 
 second Thursday in June, preceded by a vacation of five weeks. 
 The Winter Term on the third Thursday in October, preceded by 
 a vacation of three weeks. In each Department, the Teacher be- 
 ing confined to a limited number of Studies, the system of instruc- 
 tion must be more thorough than in any schools in which the atten- 
 tion of the Teacher is necessarily directed to a wider range of sub- 
 jects. The Teachers have received their education in the highest 
 Ladies' Academies, and all have had experience in teaching. Many 
 Pupils have entered the different Departments with the design of 
 completing the entire course of Studies taught in the Academy. 
 Such an Academy, exclusively devoted to the instruction of Youn^ 
 Ladies, and embracing a wider range of subjects than is usually in- 
 cluded in their education, has long been required. Particular atten- 
 tion is directed to the outlines of the course of Study as published 
 above, embracing the most useful and interesting subjects. Mrs. H, 
 devotes her attention exclusively to the Young Ladies under her 
 care. The Committee visit the Acatlemy once a month, and give it 
 their general supervision. The Terms, it will also be observed, are 
 very moderate, — requiring only £6 15s. per Term, for Board, with 
 tlie highest Tuition, in the solid Branches, and less for the common 
 Branches. 
 
 Young Ladies who may have finished their Studies in private 
 Schools, would find it highly beneficial to attend one or two Terras. 
 We are happy to receive visitors on all occasions to examine tho 
 School.

 Reasonable deductions are made where ail or several of the Or-

 When pupils remain the entire year, only £33 are charged for 
 Board and Tuition in all the above Branches, Oil Painting excepted. 
 
 Every Young Lady will furnish her own bed, bedding, and towels. 
 
 If parents prefer it, the bed can bo furnished by the Academy, 
 for which an additional charge of 7s. 6d. per Term Avill be made. 
 
 Five Shillings per Term will be charged during the winter, for 
 the additional expense of cutting and carrying wood. 
 
 No deductions are made for absence, except in sickness. 
 ' Board and Tuition paid at i/ie commencement of each Term. 
 
 Mrs. Hurlburt's long and well-established reputation as Teacher 
 and Preceptress, during the period of her connection with the U. C. 
 Academy., and previously, renders it unnecessary for the Committee 
 to say any thing relative to her qualifications for her present under* 
 taking, They consider the advantages which the Young Ladies 
 
 attending her School possess, 
 
 m being members 
 
 of her family. 
 
 where their habits can be formed under her immediate supervision, 
 when connected with the Studies already alluded to, as reasons for 
 believing, that, in her Academy, facilities and privileges for forming 
 the female character as it should be, arc enjoyed, superior to those 
 generally found in public Institutions. 
 
 Pupils attend the Church w'hioh their parents or guardians direct.

 COBOURG LADIES" ACADEMY. 
 
 Thr Annu*!^ Examination or the Pupii-s in Mrs. HfRLBrnr'.'r Academt, 
 was held on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 0th and 7th instant. The exercises 
 were most highly creditable to the Pupils and Instructors, and interesting and 
 satisfactory to the CommiUee, and to the intellif,'ent and highly respectable 
 Visitors. The Classes sustained a protracted and thoronjirh examination m 
 some of the most difficult and useful branches of Education. The subjects 
 upon which the Pupils were examined were various, in ail of which they had 
 manifestly received faithful and efficieot Instruction. The Committee were 
 happy to observe that more than usual attention has been bestowed upon the 
 more useful and practical parts of Education. The Classes in Arithmetic 
 proved iheir thorough acquaintance with those portions of the subject which 
 they had studied, by the facility with which they demonstrated and explained 
 the ditiicult problems which were proposed to them. One Class, which had 
 completed the Arithmetic, solved, in the presence of the Visitors, many intrt- 
 cate questions from various parts of the worl^-, illustrative of the principles 
 of the science. The two Classes in Eiifilish Grammar, and the two on Pars-

 in French. The Report of the Committee would be too much extended shouUl 
 Uiey dwell upon these studies in detail. It will be sulhcicnt to remark, that 
 the examination was satisfactory to the Committee and to the Visitors, 
 
 The Orif^inal Compositions elicited tiie repeated applause and hi>fh rom- 
 mendation of the intellifjent company, nnd were sufficient proof ol eHiciinl 
 instruction in this important part of Education. 
 
 The Committee, havinfj heard with much satisfaction the very thorough ex« 
 amination which Miss Adams sustained in Paley's Evidence* of ChriKtiauitjr; 
 Butler's Analogy, and Aberrrombie's Intellectual and Moral Philawphy, and 
 at previous examinations having been made acquainted with her tiiorongh 
 knowledge of the other subjects embraced in the course of studies in thin Aca- 
 demy, have much pleasure in conferring upon her the Diploma — the highest 
 honour of the Institution— as a testimonial of their high esteem, and as a ju«l 
 reward of her many accomplishments and her amiable deportment. 
 
 The spacious hail was adorned with specimens of paintings of a beautiful 
 finish, both in oil and water colours, which eliciteathe high commendations of 
 competent judges in tli;it art. Therewere sixteen large oil paintings, and se- 
 veral busts executed in a superior style. The Berlin work was admirAble, 
 nnd evinced much industry on the part of the Pupils. The performances on 
 the Piano Forte were numerous and highly creditable. The pieces of music 
 were of the most difficult nature, requiring a thorough knowledge of the 
 science, and much experience in the execution. It is due to those young ladies 
 who have been three years under Mr.-s. Hurll>urt's instruction, to state that the 
 gracefulness and skill exhibited in this drpartment of .science, richly entitled 
 them to that meed of prai.se which was so lui.sparingly bestowed upon them. 
 
 This is the second year in which the Committer have been called upon, from 
 their official relations to the Academy, to confer its highest honours upon the 
 young ladies who had completed the extensive course of studies pursued in 
 the In.stitution ; and they feel well assured that the young ladies have b?en 
 deservedly entitled to the distinction, and tliat they will adorn the society in 
 which they may move b}- their many acconipTishrnents and virtues. 
 
 Such aii Institution, with studies so judiciously selected, and so efficientl'R 
 taught, for the formation of the female character, has been long required in 
 our country. The su'ijects of study embrace the most useful of the solid and 
 ornamental branches, and are taught by those long experienced in supe^rin- 
 tending the education of youngladie.s. The extensive patronage which MtK 
 Hurlburt's Academy h.'is obtained from the influential and intelligent portions 
 of society, is the best proof of the estimation in wliicli it is held. 
 
 The Committee would also ob.serve, that as important as the education of 
 the mind may be considered, they regard as infinitely more valuable the moral 
 and religious instruction ol youth; and .in' happy to bear their testimony to 
 the care with which the pupils of this Academy are instructed in their reli- 
 gious duties. 
 
 The Committee would most cheerfully and earnestly recommend to the con- 
 tinued patronage of an enlightened community, an Academy for the educa- 
 tion of young ladies possessing .so many facilities, so excellent and spacious 
 accommodations, and conducted on the principles of Christianity with so 
 much experience and prudence. 
 
 In behalf of the Committee,

 After the Examination, Henry Ruttan, Esq., Sheriff of the Newcastle Di.s- 
 irict, spoke in the mo.v eomplimcntary manner of ilio pxorllcnt svstem of Ed- 
 ucation e.stablished in thr Academy, and of iheeninicnt rind judiciinis manner

 tn whith that system was carried out. ITavirg read the Testimonial which 
 Xvas to be presented to the young Lady who had completed the prescribed course 
 of Studies, the Shcrift' remarked : " As a memlier of the Committee, it afibrds 
 ♦ne much pleasure to affix my signature to that Diploma, given as a testimon- 
 ial of the diligence and success of the young Lady in her studies. It must be 
 a source of gratification to parents to have these proofs of the proliciency of 
 Iheir chiWrcn, at the same time that it presents the strongest inducements to 
 ■diligence on the part of the pupil.''. From my long acquaintance with Mr. 
 «sid Mrs. Hurlburt, I am confident that any recommondaticn which they may 
 ^|ivc to their pupils, could be implicitly relied on. I have had more or less 
 knowledge of the various Ladies' Schools in the country, and can safely saj 
 that I have known none combining more excellencies, and alFordingmore fa- 
 cilities for the acquisition of knowledge, than this Academy, and none to which 
 parents can more safely commit their daughters. The Simlies are judiciously 
 selected, and so arranged as gradually to develope the minds of the pupil. 
 The firsi elenif^nts of Education, which are indeed the practical and important 
 branches, are made the most prominent. The morals of the pupils are strictly 
 guarded, and their instruction carefully attended to. 
 
 " The preceptress has had so much experience and success in superintend- 
 ing the Education of young Ladies, that parents must feel a pleasure in en- 
 trusting their children to her care. Her Teachers are also those of experi- 
 ence in teaching We ought indeed, to feel thankful to any persons who are 
 willing to take the pains necessarily connected with such an Establishment. 
 Most sincerely do I congratulate those young Ladies who have the facilities 
 afforded in this Academy for the acquisition of an Education pre-eminently 
 calcu^ ued tostrengdien the mind, to .store it with various knowledge, to reiino 
 the heart, arxd to adorn and ennoble the human character."
