Lord ELLENBonouGH did not attend the Counsel, having been prevented by a domestic calamity, the sud den decease of his son. The Ministers assembled at four o'clock, and remained in deliberation for two hours and a half. The Duke of WELLINGTON visited Prince LEOPOLD On Saturday. The Princess SOPHIA MATILDA has come to town for the season. The Princess received visits on Saturday morning from Lady WlGium, and several other Ladies. At three o'clock the Princess proceeded to the Royal In stitution, to hear Mr. Rae nes first lecture on the His tory of the Chemical Discourses made in the Laboratory of the Royal Institution by the late Sir H. DAVY. It is whispered that the DUKE lords it at Windsor; and that several nominations on the part of a Great Per sonage have been over-ruled.—Brighton Gazelle.

Lord LEVESON GOWER, the Secretary of State for Ire land, had an interview with the Duke of WELLINGTON on Saturday, at the Treasury. The accounts received on Saturday from Woburn state that the Duke of BEDFORD was recovering from his late severe indisposition, although but slowly. Her [loy a l Hi g hness the Princess AUGUSTA is in ex cellent health at Worthing, where she is expected to con tinue her stay for a further period of six weeks.

Th e arrangements are on a most magni ficent scale. The Earl and Countess of WA awicK, Lord Moxsow, and Lord Bnoott, have arrived at the Earl of Mexiso- ROI/011'8, Methley-park, from Warwick Castle. It was reported last night in Government circles, that Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. HUSKISSON have agreed to support Ministers, and that Lord ELLEN BOROUGH Will go out to make room for Lord PALMERSTON. It appears that the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord EL LENBOROUGII have not been particularly cordial for some time past.—Court Journal. The Corsaire contains the following announcement : " Mr. MARTIN'S Lion died in Paris—the mother of the Tiger of Portugal died at Lisbon." Letters have been received from Bombay, stating that Sir W. SEYMOUR, the new Judge, with his Lady, had arrived safe and well, after a passage of nearly four months.

BEAUMONT is reported to have in hand at the present moment 7,000 toils of lead in pigs. POETRY OF THE MAGYARS. BY JOHN BOWEING, ESQ. This is another garland, gathered from one of those insulated regions of intellect, hitherto unvisited by the strayinirs of cultivated genius—almost inaccessible, in deed, to all but enthusiastic explorers —where high aspirations and fine sensibilities make their paradise in unheard-of bosoms, and poetry grows wild in its fast-I nesses, like a . violet upon one of the ledges of the Jungfrau. The Magyar, or the old Hungarian, lan guage, which has been for many centuries in a state of decadence—at times almost verging to obliteration—is at lest exhibiting symptoms of revival and renovation. Our accomplished and ardent-minded countryman, Joint BOWRIN —who will be known to posterity as the KING of AN lioLoo lave, inasmuch as he is not only a collector of all exotic flowers, but a great improver of them when collected—has transplanted this one more beautiful bouquet from the hortus incognitus of Hungarian poesy into the gardens of English literature. Wo need not say that it adds one more, to the many titles by which he already lays claim to the gratitude of his country. We can only give to-day his very beetiful introductory sonnet, to SCHEDEL, and two small extracts—ad aperturam libri—but we shall return to his volume. TO FR. J. SCHF.DEL. I follow in thy footsteps, yet afar ; Thou bear'st!he voice—l but the echoes bear, Of the time-consecrated Magyar; And while they vibrate In my spirit, bear The music, ere it dies upon the ear, To the old halls of England—where there are Spirits of love, of sympathy sincere, To welcome, as frum some new-beaming star. All I can bring of beauty, light, and song. Say to Hongaria, she shall stand among The lands which Poetry with glory girds ; And If not mine, some happier lot 'twill be To Sing the wreath of fame o'er her and thee. With sweeter harmony and loftier words. TO ERNESTINE. IT DANIEL SZLIISIIIIITI. Sup, ufp as Elet End! Sweet is life, my Ernestine ! In the od'rous myrtle grove, In the arms of holy love, In Dione's, or in thine. Sweet is life, my Ernestine ! Some may fear lest wind and wave Delve for all their wealth a grave ; Some may heap Golconda's store; Ever adding more to more ; Warriors climb the slippery hill Crown'd by glory's citadel ; Welcoming the Pesos loud Victory wakens from the crowd ; But, with thee, my Ernestine, Yes! with thee to live be mine. Silenced every worldly tone, 0 how sweet to live alone ! Seeing—wishing not to see Aught but those bright miles of thine ; Thee, my love—and only thee— Hearing nought but thy soft breathing. Or thy gentle rustling, wreathing Little Sowers of love for me. THE MAGYAR DANCE. PRIX THE DIUNGARLAN POPULAR SOROS. Mfg est mandifik : nem tincs a' Magyarnak. A very pretty piece of dreaming to fancy that a Magyar lad, In leathern shoes and shortened breeches, can dance! 0, no ; but see him clad In rattling spurs and plumy bead-dress; and then, and then, when full of joy, Before his pearl-browed Magyar maiden, Oh then behold the Magyar boy. Oar Magyar dance they say is lonely, a melancholy dance they say But see a Magyar foot when twinkling--is it not sportive, glad, and gay? Go to the Shimian fields and tell me, if ever fancy's busy glance Dwelt on a scene so brightly joyous, or followed a more rapturous dance. The dance of Gaul is affectation ; and light tho' German dances be, They are but as eternal sameneu—a wearisome monotony : And gloomy are the English dances—a heavy and a tiresome chain; But ours, but ours were consecrated, aye! down from old King David's reign ! LIMERICK ELECTION. Thursday, Quarter to Three o'clock. The polling throughout to-day has been rather languid in some of the booths. Still in most of them Colonel O'Grady maintains his majority of last night. There was considerable delay after the polling bad closed last even ing, before the High Sheriff announced its state as follows : WRONEIDAY. For Colonel O'Grady on the gross p 011.... 53s For Mr. Many Dawson Majority .. The poll is of course not officially declared at this hour; but I have been through the several booths, and have as certained how it stands at this moment— Thursday, Half-past Two. . O'Grady Dawson ... • -43 Gross majority la favour of O'Grady... 7s The general opinion here is, that the Election will not terminate so early as was at first anticipated, but that it will extend into next week. There have been several riots throughout the streets, but none of them attended with serious consequences. A mob attacked and beat Mr. DAWSON in the street, near the Court-house last evening, and but for the interference of some of Colonel O'GILA DY'll agents, who snatched bim from the hands of his assailants, he would have been seriously injured. The most notorious bribery is practised on both sides— the price of a vote is fixed at 10/. and it is expected that their value will improve with their scarcity.—Dublin Paper of Saturday. The representation at the Opera at Paris, on the night of the 24th ult. for the benefit of the poor, constitutes an era in the annals of the theatre and of luxury. There never was a more complete union of talents—a more dazzling audience. The aristocratic and commercial ' worlds were represented there by their most splendid principals. The Kix°, the Royal Family, and the Duke of OALZANS, assisted at this brilliant act of bene ficence, which produced a receipt of 60,000 fr. His Majesty retired at 10 o'clock, ZETA OF THE POST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SlR—Since, as you say, you are unable to afford me any information about " ZETA" of the Morning Post, I shall at once assume that this same writer, who now supports the Wellington Thing, was opposed to Mr. CANNING in 1827. If Ibe wrong in this assumption, it is easy for " ZETA" to defend himself from my ob serrations by a plain denial. Political consistency is always a rare and valuable commodity, and, in these our times—the disgraceful times of tergiversation—its scarcity has rendered it doubly valuable. We shall soon see in how far this " ZETA," who pretends to instruct the people of England in their duty, is entitled to consideration as a consistent writer. As you know, Sir, at the time when the late Mr. CANNING succeeded to the office of Prime Minister, vacant by the sudden illness of Lord LIVERPOOL, seven of his colleagues, including WATE Imo and his " cad," sent in their resignations. Immediately after, the hounds of opposition wore let loose upon the unfortunate Premier, and no writer appeared to be more spiteful against the Right Honourable Gentleman than "ZETA" of the Morning Post. It is not contended that "ZETA" was not entitled to assail Mr. CANNING, but I wish to know why he did so ? Mr. CANNING was a friend to high taxation ; but " ZETA" could not have opposed him on that ground, for in his letter, to which I referred in ray last, he says—" the clamour raised against the pre sent amount of the taxes is at once inconsistent and un just." On the currency, likewise, the opinions now avowed by the scribe of the Post arc the same as those entertained by Mr. CAN XING. Why, then, I ask again, did " ZETA" oppose the Right Honourable Gentleman? It could not be account of his support of the principles of free trade, for "ZETA" has asserted that " our ma nufactures have greatly increased in extent since the abolition of the restrictive system." Nor could it be on account of Mr. CA); NINO s advocacy of the Catholic Claims, for " ZETA" has since supported Emancipation. Consequently, Sir, the ministerial hack is placed on the horns of a dilemma. If lie opposed Mr. CANNING on account of his political principles, his letter upon the present distress is an example of gross inconsistency ; and if he did not oppose the Right Honourable Gentle man on account of his political principles, bis opposition was factious ! There is 'vet another instance of curious conduct on the part of this hack, which must need notice. I have not the Papers by me ; but, as far as I can recollect, when Mr. HuskissoN was unceremoniously kicked out of the Cabinet by the imperious Dictator, " ZETA" stated that his dismissal was a fortunate occurrence for the country —or for the best interests of the country. Now, Mr. Editor, if " ZETA" admired then, as he does now, the liberal principles of Mr. HUSK ISSON, how could be imagine that that Gentleman's dismissal was a fortunate occurrence for the best interests of the country ? I hope, Sir, you will not refuse to publish thes3 trifling remarks in the STAR, because I am desirous to see what " ZETA" can say for his consistency. It is not difficult to perceive that he is a regular slave to the powers that be,—a hark of the first water, who is at all seasons ready to acknowledge the truth of'the maxim— Whaterer is is right !—I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant, ITHURIEL. By the will of Sir T. Law ILENCE, his drawings and prints are first to be offered to the KING for £lB,OOO ; then Mr. PEEL, then the British Museum, then to some person abroad, and, in default of all, to be sold by auction. The German Gazettes aro still filled with details of the excessive rigour of the cold in the northern countries of Europe. In Sweden, iu Denmark, and in the greater part of Germany, all communication is interrupted ; and the roads are only practicable for sledges. Driven from the forests, by the impossibility of finding food there, the wild beasts invade the hamlets and attack the inhabitants. The polar birds arrive in flights. They are often seen to expire with fatigue and hunger as they fall down. The Rev. Michael Fitzgerald, Parish Priest of Ask eaton, in a letter 1% hich he has addressed to the Catholic Ten-pound Freeholders of the minty of Limerick, has the following passage :—" The O'Gradys are an ancient aboriginal Irish family; they have been settled Li your county for centuries—they have, like ycu, endured perse cution ; for the good old stock has sent forth from time to time, and still sends forth some Catholic branches. The Chief Baron, the futher of Colonel O'Grady, represents a younger branch of the ancient house of Kilballevowen. He has raised himself by his splendid abilities and acquirements to a rank in the State that makes him for the moment the head of his ancient house—gifted with genius and intellect of the very first order, he is an orna ment to the country that gave him birth, and to compare him to any of your humdrum English Chief Judges, to your Alexamlers, your NVynfords, or Tenterdens, would be to compare 11 yperion to a Satyr ; to compare your own native, sparkling, heart-stirring mountain dew with the muddy and mawkish gin of St. Giles's."—(Bravo! Father Fitz. You will not say a better thing than this if you live for a thousand years !) CORN-EXCHANGE.. MARK-TANK. Fu. t.

You have seen the effects of Infant Schools, as they have been introduced into practice, in various pails of ti.. kingdom ; and that practice, imperfect as it is, has been sufficient to induce you to encourage the extension of them throughout the British dominion.. But Infant Schools, upon the principles from which they originated and were first introduced into practice, do not belong to the system of Society in which you, in common with the whole human race, are involved. The Infant Schools, from which all modern Infant Schools in Europe and America have emanated, belongs, altogether, to another system of society; to one, the re verse in all respects of that, by which the world has been hitherto governed. This Infant School was established as the first practical step, in a system intended to super sede that which has ever pervaded savage and civi lized life. It was an experiment, to ascertain how the practice of this new system, would be received by those, educated under the principles of the old ; and the result has been most satisfdctory. But these Infant Schools are an anomaly in the In:i tem, in which you and the inhabitants of the world havu been trained to feel, to think, and to act; and, assuredly, these Schools, on the principles on which the first was established, or the system which the world now supports must be abandoned : for they are in a direct opposition to each other. The existing system of the world (and there never has been any other known to the present race of man) has been founded altogether on the supposition that each it,- dividual is born with the power to feel anti to think as he pleases. The Infant School was foxided, in order to exhilik the world the fallacy of this supposition ; in order to prove, that the nature of nr.in has not been untlerstoed our ancestors ; and that tho laws of human unto, hue• been, hitherto, an enigma, even to the intelliget,t, • this past and present time. It was founded, first, to demonstrate to the learned and the unlearned, that man does not possess the power to feel and to think as he likes, or to form his own c!.a. meter. Secondly, to prove that the human race has been, through all past time up to the present hour, irrational ; and, that every individual may, hereafter, ba trained from infancy to become a rational or consistent being, in his feelings, thoughts, and actions. Thirdly, to prove that all the inferior passions, vice and miseries of mankind, proceed from the supposition that each individual has the power, within himself, to feel land to think as he pleases; and, that from the knowledge that he has not this power, will emanate universal charity and kind feelings, and that a very superior character v ill be formed for the whole human race. Fourthly, to prove that all the nations of the earth are, at this moment, under a mental delusion with regard to themselves, and the means of attaining a superior cha• racter and happiness ; and, consequently, that a rational Infant School and the present system of society, cannot co-exist. A right system of education has never yet been seen in practice ; as one possessing that character, could not exist under the system which has been alone known in the world. The prejudices which this system has forced all to receive from infancy, have been an insurmountable obstacle to the formation of an establishment, to educate human beings to become rational. All seminaries of learning. have been founded to instil the notions of man's responsibility, under the suppasition, that he is so organised as to possess the power to feel am! to think as he pleases ; and consequently, they have been established, without one exception, to destroy, in the most effectual manner, the rational and superior faculties of the human rate. None of these seminaries, therefore, deserve notice, when the foundation of a rational system of instruction for the rising generation from infancy, is under coniidera tion. The rational Infant School, whicli was established at New Lanark, end opened on the lst of January, 1816, by a public discourse, explanatory of th;. , princ'ples on which it was founded, and of the conseque.:ces which were ex pected to result from its establishment, emanated from knowledge of human nature ; derived from a calm an; attentive consideration of the facts relative to its organi cation manifested at the birth of an infant, and of the formation of its character during its growth to maturity. From an accurate attention to those facts, it berm-, obvious that the whole character of every infant, child, and man, is formed for him ; that in every instance, at every instant of time, it is created by a union of the original organiation of the infant, with the impressions made upon it by the general and particular circumstances, in which the individual i placed from birth to death ; and that the character of every human being, is, without an ex ception, an effect necessarily proceeding from the: e united causes. Consequently, all that man can do for man, is to ado: t the most efficient measures to improve the fature orga nisation of all individuals of his race, and to zurround them by these circumstances only, which experience ma , - prove to be the most effectual, to create the best or 111Gtzt superior character in each of them. To attempt to establish a system of training and in struction her the human race, upon any principles t 1 1:n those developed by nature, will continue to make man an ignorant, imbecile, vicious, irrational, and misernb:o being, inferior to many of the animals in health, consis tency, and enjoyment; and superior to them only by hi, powers of speech and invention. lf, therefore, you desire to encomage the Introduction of rational Infant Schools throughout society, you momt acquire a knowledge of the principles on which they are• founded, and the practice which is nece••sary to tl•cir success. And more, if you wi.,h the children and the pul,lic to derive permanent benefit from them, you must establish other schools on the same principles, in which to receive the children who shall have passed through the court e of education which will be given to them In the rational in fant schools. And in these seminaries of instruction, in which none bat rational circumstances should be permitted to exist, the character of each individual should be matured; and then, and then only, will the saying be verified, that " train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." But perhaps you will now ask, where is there a ra tional Infant School to be sern, as a specimen that we night adopt its practice None exists; none can exist under your present syt tan of belief, respecting the power of man to feel and think as be pleases. The nearest approximation that has yet been made te ar the New Lanark Infant School, as it existed from the Tear 1822 to 1824, when it approached as near to a rational infant School, ee the prejedicei of the proprie tors and of the public would bear, and thiklren v ~, 1 i . _.L ..,.~
