The following is a notice of an alteration In Perkalout Light. house, or, as in the English charts, of Renskar Light-house, on the north shore of the Gulf of Finland, which will be furnished with a revolving light on the 6th (18) of October. Its motions will be as follows, to distinguish it from the light of Nargen, on the south shore: 1. The light will appear for the space of one minute and a half. 2. It will be darkened 35 seconds. 5. The light will appear for 20 seconds. 4. It will be darkeWed 35 seconds. Thus closes one entire revolution, and it recommences with No. 1.

READING WOOL. . . Those Who have paid atteation to the moral as well as intellectual tesults of education at public schools of clas sical learning, have frequently contemned the custom of theatrical exhibitions, which take place periodically at most of them. Their objections, though variously stated, may be resolved into one—that this public display is apt to engender a taste for dramatic amuse ments, inconsistent with thossiserious and more dignified objects to which the boys at such institutions are almost always destined. Plausible as the objection seems, we doubt its soundness. If we look back to the history of actors, there are very few i ndeed who have been brought up at public schools : in t imes past, BoomH, the repre sentator cf Anorsores Cato, is almost the only instance; and at pt esent, Yount:: is, we believe, the only performer who received that kind of education ; and he was at Eton, where they do not act plays. At all events, the evil complained of, if not imaginary, is at least so rare, that no valid argument can be derived from it to counter balance the great advantage which it appears to us to pos sess. It is said by the opponents of the English system of classical education, that it teaches words rather than things—that it dogs the memory without exercising the judgment; and that the boy who issues from one trif our Universities loaded with the honours of the place, is ge nerally a mere parrot, filled with pretty conceits and phrases, learned by rote, and not a thinking being, with opinions formed by his own observation and re flection. If this is sometimes the case, and we do not ' deny the fact, we think that no better plan could be de vised to secure the attainment of a habit of thought in boys, than the occasional exercise of their faculties in the performance of a play. A boy may get a hundred lines by heart, and reaeat them, without employing a moment's reflection upon the force or beauty of the words he utters : but he can scarcely act the same num ber of lines, without at least beginning to ponder on their sense; and we should hold it to be almost impos sible for him to act them well, without meditating a great deal upon their full bearing, and without feeling the true spirit in which they were written. Here, then, is a clear advantage: the boy is no longer a parrot : he is made to pause and contemplate the sense, till at last e is able to understand the full drift of his author, and to glow with something like a congenial feeling. And in Yhis view we think it better, on these occasions, to act agedy than comedy ; because comedy being gene rally a mere imitation of manners, may be acted by boys, who are all naturally mimics, with very little thought or observation ; but tragedy being a matter of feeling, requires longer study and deeper reflection. As the subject is one of importance, we have dedi cated more space to it than some of our Readers, per haps, may think necessary : it is time now to speak of the occasion which gave rise to it ; which was, our ac• cidental presence at the performance of a Greek Tra gedy by the scholars of Dr. VALPY, on Friday last. The play chosen was the Alcestis; and certainly, when we considered the age of the boy-performers, many of them not more than 16, and none more than 18 years old, it was impossible not to be equally pleased and surprised at the perfect understanding of the sense and feeling of the dialogue which was manifested by almost all of them. The most hardy opponent of classical education could not have said that these boys had learned nothing but words : he must have allowed that they appreciated and felt the beautiful thoughts to which they gave such characteristic and expressive utterance. This was par ticularly the case with the three young men who acted Admetus, Alcestis, and Hercules—parts, all of them, of no common difficulty, and requiring much considera tion and no little judgment. After the Greek play, Sheridan's drama, The Critic, was acted with great spirit by the same boys, who strewed clearly that learning does not (as has been sneer ingly said) shut the eyes of its votaries to the :elish of the beauties of theit native writers. Having said so much in praise of the representation, we are sure we shall not be deemed captious if we hint that we could have dispensed with the hornpipe. Such things are customary ; but Dr. VALPY may well afford to break a custom which his good taste must reject. His learning and talents do not require such adven titious aid. We cannot conclude without saying that the English Epilogue to the Greek play, which, we understand, was ,written by Mr. TALFOURD, contained some very lively and clever couplets on the subject of the various pro jects for gulling that considerable portion of our coun trymen who have more money than wit, or who are in too great a hurry to get rich to care about the means. Letters have been received from some of the Ofge; engaged in the capture of Rangoon. They convey in formation as to the subsequent state of affairs in that city. On the day-following the capture, information was sent to head-quarters, that a female of rank, who was called the Queen of Dalla (a town opposite Ran goon), was employed in concertifsg a force, which amounted at that time to nearly one thousand men, and was erecting stockades. In consequence of this, piquets had been sent out by Sir A. CAMPBELL, but it was not intended to attack Dalla until the Queen had assembled the whole of her force, in order that it might be crushed at once; The next expedition was to be directed against Proome, the original boundary of the ancient Burman empire. It is a larger and more populous town than Ran- goon,and is only defended by a palisado,with earth thrown up before it. From this circumstance it was expected that considerable resistance would be made, and the force to be sent for its reduction was said to be three thousand men. No further attempts at negotiation had been made by the Burmese, although, from one or two natives who had returned to the town, it was understood that great consternation reigned among the petty Chiefs in the neighbourhood.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT MANCHESTER. FURTHER PARTICULARS FROM THE MANCHESTER GAiETTC. It is our painful duty to record one of the most dread ful accidents that ever occurred in this or in any neigh bouring town. The scene of the melancholy catastrophe was the factory occupied by Mr. Gough, a cotton spinner, which is situate in a new street leading out of Oldfield-ro.td.—A little after nine o'clock, on Wednes day morning, as the people were all diligently- at work, a portion of the flooring of the top room, embracing the length of three windows, and about half the width of the factory, suddenly gave way; and, with the heavy machinery which it sustained, broke through every suc cessive story to the bottom, with 'the rapidity of an electric shock, and with a dreadful and portentous crash. The inmates of the factory were seized with the utmost consternation, imagining that the whole build ing was coming down. Some in their eagerness to escape the impending danger, rushed through the win dows, reckless of the consequences; while the door ways, and winding staircase were thronged with the work-people, actuated by the most appalling sensa tions. The knowledge of this distressing event flew like wild. fire, and numbers of men were immediately employed to clear away the enormous mass of rub-" bash, amongst which were buried eighteen human beings! —First, an arm or a leg appeared; and presently, the whole body of a young female, presenting many a hor. rid and ghastly wound. Then, a shoe or a tattered bonnet gave tokens of another;—whilst a father or a brother, who had spades in their hands, would recog nise the disfigured and mangled features of a beloved child or an affectionate sister. And thus, until one o'clock, was this painful duty continhed, when the eighteenth and last lifeless body was dug from its un timely grave. By this time, the whole town was ap prised of the melancholy circumstance, and every ave nue leading to the fatal spot was thronged with indivi duals of all classes, bearing in their countenances the most lively pictures of newly-awakened interest and commiseration. About three o'clock it was ascertained that fifteen females of various ages, from eleven to sizty-five, and three young lads, had perished, and their bodies, some of which were spectacles too shocking to look upon, were conveyed from the lodge of the fac tory, where they had previously been deposited, to a stable, in the yard, where they were laid out, in such a manner that their relatives might conveniently identify them. Nothing could be more praiseworthy than the diligent attention of those who extricated the bodies from the mass of rubbish, or than the humanity with which every untutored man, who could command a spade, lent his assistance in the melancholy task. Many who had no instrument but their hands, lifted up rubbish and bricks with a solicitude truly honourable to them, and though among such an uncirected throng of gratuitous labour ers, it was apprehended that some might become vic. tims to the spades of their liberators. One' young man had a most providential escape. The factory is six stories high; and he was employed at his lathe, in No. 5, or the fifth story, at the time the accident took place. He stood near the window, and all he can recollect is, that he was struck senseless. On recovering himself, be found that he was on the ledge of the window ; and, on looking around, he discovered his awful situation: the floor on which he had so re cently stood presented a yawning gulph, at the bot tom A which he beheld his fellow-workwomen dragged out, mangled and lifeless. A little boy, coo, was car ried down several stories (as he described) as easily as if he had been riding in a coach I THE INQUEST. On Thursday morning an Inquest took place at the Angel Inn, Salford, before J. Milne, Esq. Coroner, and a Jury. The first witness called upon the occasion was James Henry, a filer in the cotton-mill in question, who stated that he had worked in the mill about six months ; that he did not know how long the mill had been built ; that David Belhouse's men were at work, laying the floor, when he was there; that, yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, he was at work to the fifth story of the said mill. That he was going down stairs, and had got the sneck of the door No. 5 room in his hand, when he heard the flooring of No. 6 room give way. He did not stop to make any remarks, but got down stairs as quick as he could. There wee three men and two boys, besides himself, at work in No. 5; that the other floors went to the bottom, and a general confusion took place. That if he must give his opinion, there was a deficiency in the building altogether; that the roofs were arched, cast iron beams, and that the floor was of wood; that, in the cock-loft, there was some cotton, and a blowing machine. 'Nat he had seen seventeen dead bodies, men, women, and children. That during the dinner hour, last summer, he and se veral others, who were eating their dinners, observed that the building was not sate, as there was a crevice in the front of the mill. John Taylor, overlooker in Nos. 2 and 3, in the said mill, stated, that, at different times, he had observed a settling in various parts of the mill, which he men tioned to Mr. Gough, but he (Mr. Gough) did not con sider it to be unsafe, conceiving it to be merely the settling of a new building. That he had seen several mills ; their mill (Mr. Gough's) was the same, with the exception of the columns. • In most other mills there were two rows of columns, but in Mr. Gough's mill there was only one row of columns ; that had there been two rows of columns, he could not say whether the accident would have happened or not. Columns were usually placed to strengthen the buildings. Nathan Gough, the proprietor of the mill in question, stated that about two years ago, David Bellhouse and Son built the above mill. The foundation is four bricks in length, and then three bricks to the second story ; then two and a half to the fourth story; and then two bricks up to the roof. The mill is six stories high, with an attic room in the roof. The roof is of imod, in the usual way, with cast-iron beams to each floor, arched with bricks, and then flags. The iron work was done by Bowman, Galloway, and Co. He always looked upon the building as safe. He believes the accident arose from a flaw in a beam of No. 6 room. The beams were laid in the wall from 9 inches 1012 inches. The beams, he believes, were all proved; the building was perfictly secure in all other respects, except the said beam. The Jury then consultel for a short time, and found a verdict to the following effect :—" That the deceased persons were killed by the accidental falling its of a portion of a cotton-mill, in Salford, the property o Nathan Gough."

Last week the supply of Grain, in general, was tolerably good, and of Oats it was large, chiefly from the Baltic. This morning there is but a short fresh arrival of Wheat from Essrs, and only a middling quantity from Kent. Of Barley there is a fair supply, and of Beans and Peas the quantity is moderate. The bakers at present want fresh Flour. and cnr millers being mostly out of stock, they purchased Wheat this morning freely, and gave cull 3s. per qr. advance en the terms of last Monday, for the best samples. Barley finds buyers wi:b readiness, on full as good terms as last quoted. Beans are further advanced 24. per qr. Boiling Peas have no al teration; Grey Peas sell well at last Monday's quotations. The quantity if Oats for sale is large, and there has not been much trade for this article today, so that prices remain much the same as last quoted. Flour is further advanced 54. per sack, making the top price 655. Rape Seed is dearer, and more business doing in Linseeds PRICES OR BOARD MM. • Wheat, Red (1824), 525. 665.
