London, Sept. 25.  A correspondent, signed Benedict,
complains of the wrong education generally given to girls;
instead of being instructed in marketing, and other houshold
affairs:  he says, they are now taught to do nothing but
dance, or what goes under the denomination of genteel
accomplishments, such as fine-work, &c . . .
