RALEIGH ACADEMY.—The half-yearly examination of this Institution closed on Wednesday last. Those who attended were much gratified by the proficiency manifested in every branch of education which came under their notice. Yesterday, the report of the Trustees was read by Charles Manly, Esq.—after which Chief Justice Taylor, pronounced an address to the Students, which was justly admired by every one who heard it. Upon those especially, to whom it was directed, it produced the deepest impression; and was considered by all not only an excellent lesson, on the importance of an early devotion to learning, but an admirable example of its results.
Two Young Ladies of the Academy, Miss Creighton and Miss Hilliard, were presented with Golden Medals, they having completed their course of education.
