Mr. LANCASTER delivered, to a numerous and respectable audience, in the City of London Taierii, a most in teresting Lettnre on an Unproved tystern of Fetpale Education, which has tor its object, with other bene fits, to teach the children all the essential requisites of needle-work, with a facility and dispatch hitherto inconceivable. The tie* system *as illustrated by an exhibition of the practice, by several young chil dren, in the presence Of the auditory ; after which the children walked round the room and exhibited their work, which was highlt appro+ed by the ladies present. Mr. LANcaitett, in the course of his lecture; paid a Well merited eulogiuni to bur'revereci Sovereign for the effectual patronage afforded by his MAJESTY to the Lancasterian systeth of education, and expressed a fervent desire that his health might be speedily re stored that he may witness this farther improirement in the education of the children of his poorer subjects. tin elOquent and grateful compliment was paid to her Royal Highness the Princess of WALES, who had intended to be present on this occasion, but was pre vented by indisposition ; a circumstance which was made known by a letter froth Lady C. LINDSAY, which was read. The Lecturer concluded his ani mated and interesting address by holding up for imi tation the example of those illustrious personages the Dttkes of KENT and Sussex, who have so nobly espoused the Lancasterian system of education, and lent their exertions to every effort which has for its object the promotion of religion, humanity, and the improvement of Morals. • Z••=. • sAst IMatilnaliPikci. - __An account has-been reitl4cd, thit the *toed shipi ; which sailed frOmPortitnotith the 2JOt ;Tupelo*, artitrea eMacieira the tlst of that month, under convoy of , his Majesty's ships Incestst'awr,. &Tao, and FAIRY sloop-of war, and were to sail front thence the . 2d instant, viz. - MARRI CUNITSB OT Ernzsi, Devolll2Bllßll.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON 'WARD HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP SURVEILLANT/L i DATED 07F IT. SEBASTIAN * JULY 8. 4 ' On the 4th, Lord Wet.lNotorr was at Sant, due North of Vittoria. CLAusees troops, disencem bered themselves of every article of beegage, even to their knapsacks, firelocks, and ammunition, to fatili. tate their flight, so that , they became in truth,, no other than a scattered rabble. Under such circUm stances, it was not possible for any body of troops to hap pace with them. Very many of Ccays/Ws.corps ,ware t-lum but. by owertion so get away 6 and, many mote will fall by the hands of the justly eiasperated Guerrillas in the mountain's. el The principal force of the enemy; after the affair of Tolosa, fled by Irun, where they made a halt, then suddenly passed the riLer into France, burning as they retreated the wooden bridge Which connected that country and Spain. Fontarabia, and that part Of the coast is watched by a division of Spadish troops, whilst Sir THOMAS GRAHAM conducts the siege of St. Sebastian by land, and Sir GEORGE COLLIER the blockade of the port by sea. We have sent the. General from our ship two 24-pounderi to i .form a battery against a Convent in advance of St. Sebastians ; but yesterday the transports arrived, and they are now in the Port of Passage, which surren dered a few days since to the Guerrilla Colonels GASPER and Lorna, with whorh we are in•canitant communication. Guetaria was also evacuated by the enemy, on our appearing of Deba, and the garrison got to St. Sebastian. This post, situated on a rock, the strongest that can be imagined, Might have been held by the enemy as long as a French force had re mained in any part of Spain, the French having 'lately added considerably to its unusual natural strength. Their retreat Was however so much accele rated by our appearance, that they kft their stores of provisions undestroyed ; but as it seems the peculiat character of Frenchmen to refine upon mischief and cruelty, they left a concealed match in the magazine that should burn a certain time ; and, as a decoy to the unthinking inhabitants, placed two pipes of wine near the magazine, judging these would collect many people to rejoice at their expulsion, any!, at the time intended, the explosibn took place :—it was a most awful right. Many lives were lost ; all the boats and daft in the Mole were blown to atoms, and sunk, and the people in them mangled in a dreadful manner : but this was nothing to what they did at Caitro. 4 , The weather upon this coast has been ennsually bad for the Summer, and we are now at anchor in 50 fathoms, about two miles and a half from the shore, having the Port of Passage to tun into in the last ez trernity, though this is so narrow, and the basin so filled tip with mud by the neglect of the French, that an extrethe case only would, I fancy, induce us to trust to it. Our Captain was at the head-quarters the other day to meet Sir Thor4as GRAHAM * and learn distinctly all his wishes ; they seem to be to keep the Port of St. Sebastian iti as close blockade as possible. Half a doien of small schooneri would he of incalculable value to es now, as the enemy have at St. Jean de Ltix several vessels with provisions and ammunition, waiting the opportunitk for ttying to get into St. Sebastian ; and unless we get Some small craft, I see not how we are to prevent them ; and the possession of St. Sebastian is most important to Lotd WerlaNtrroa's proCeedings, and Must be had before he can act with safety against Pampluna, and I think some heads will be broken before it falls, the town being regularly fortified, from whence, in ne cessity, retreat may be made to the citadel, which is at the top of a rock, the approach to which is de fended by a line of walls flanked by small works and red~ until you arrive at the very. crown ; but it is said the citadel cannot hold more than 400 men, and is not bomb-proof, and the present garrison of St. Sebastian is 2,200; so that our artillery will pro bably make a heavy reduction of this number by shells; within a fortnight from this date, much, I think, will be dune." ' THE ARMY. , We Are sorry to :rite, that intelligence has been received of the de a th of Lieutenant-Colonel CHARLIII FANa, of the 59th regiment c at Vittoria. of the wound he received in the great battle. He was one of the mot promising officers in the service. , A detachment of th e WI Regiment eMbarked at PPpnouth on Monday last for Spain. The Panics RenatiT's Own Royal 'Lancashire. Regiment of Militia marched from Chatliarn Bar racks; in three divisions, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, lait week. for Bristol, where transports are id readiness to convey this tine and highly disci plined regiment to Ireland. Wedneiclay the Killtear.y regiment of militia at tired at Harwich Barracks to replace the StAfford. Since the capture of the French ladies and of the Spanish ander their protraction, after the battle of the 21st, the army musters very strong in that ironch.— Previously to the junttion of this reinforcement at Vit toria, it was calculated, that of English. Portugliese, and Spanish liclies, there were not less than 14,000 !I-evening with the army. A serious thing, when it is considered that they all require and get provi,ions, and many of them are mounted on asses, mules, and good horses. Vittoria is an elegant city, with splendid buildings and a magnificent square. The Life. Guards make a great figure there. They were sent in on first taking possession, to prevent the cruel scene of pil lageomd sometimes worse scenes, carried on by, the soldiery on these occasions. They executed this duty admirably well, parading as they used to do the Streets of London in riots. Tbey fprmed the guard at the Impetial Palace; where Lord WeLtrwarots was lodged, and were posted under the archways and, at public buildings. 'Their fine large manly figures were Much adMired by the iehabitants, and tlie French ladies did not fail to evince their partiality to them : grief for the loss of their husbands and for captivity was in twenty-four hours dispelled by the charms of their new friends. - PITTORM FETE AT VAUXHALL. The general conversation of all classes of perms throughout the capital, still runs upon the grand na tional entertainment of Tuesday. It was ndt till a late hour on Wednesday morning that the last of the immense train of carriages; which conveyed the om pany, could atcomplish their return boron!. T'hii will be easily reconciled by a simpleiakulatiOil suggested ito us by an ingenious friend, n the way of prognosti citicin, previoui to the occurrence; and fully verified by the event :—Tiking the total number cf carriages at 1500, which under-rates them much, and allowing to each carriage-only one minute to set down and to take up, these operations must reciuire twenty-five hours for the mere debarkation and re-embarkation of the whole 'company ; to which is to be added the de lay necessarily incident to the'throng and lock of car. riages, intangleinents,aceidents: &c. We are happy to find; however, that no serious mischief occurred; all the injuries being confined to fracturet df eartiatei s , and rents of dresses, and such other little events, as are 44 ale for the good of trade." Several companies; on regaining their carriages, and finding that dis abled from moving, quietly pulled up the blinds and set themselves to sleep. Others amused thenitelves Stith laughing at the personal struggles of otheri through the crowd of servants and spectators, from which they had themselves gained an asylum. The . se:denim of the light finger were active to Avail them selves of the opportunitiei thus copiOesly afforded, and, besides very industrious coFps without the Gar den., some Of the chiefs contrived to mix with the .higher game within, putting in requisition snuff-bocci, watches, &c. Some of the principal :practitioner* were, however ; checked in their glorious career tit the intervention of that cruel tyrant of the thieves, Townsehd; who attended for the purpose with tl se lect company of assistants. . Except the Marquis of WzrairVarox, there Swat no toast received with such enthusiasm as that of the Pntuoi REGENt. Nine rounds of universal plause, with htizzas and acclamations long continued, followed its being giSen from the Chair. Among the most engaging women was Miss FITS. CLARENCE, accompanying her father. A groupe of four females of colotir, eitofted by some military men, *ere noticed by every body, and eurtsied to by the Princes! of WALES ; they appeared to be almost wholly unknown, but the singularity of their dresses deserves notice. These females were commanding figure!, personable, and walked with great dignity. On their heath they wore large combs, resembling scollop shells, wholly composed of real pearls ; from the back of their heads were suspended sea-weed, in cluiters. India gold dresses, trids Bishop's sleeves of the saute stuff, with massy gold Armlets ; cords and taisels around the waist, rem.. Wing, iri thieknels, beltropes. White satin; and gold boots, complete the outline. The Ladies wete mostly dressed ptirpostly for the Ball, having their dresses festooned tap with laurel leaves. A great proportion were of white sattin, with Spanish sleeves and Spanish hats ; plume of ostrich feathers complimentary to the PiIIPICS Renew. The waists were Short, and excessively bare about tha tteek and Shoulders. Grecian heasl-dreises, with wild Bowers in the form of wreaths, or shell-lace caps; Made after the Spanish costume, sheeting the ears. Many of the bodies of the dresses embroidered in gold or silver, with plain skirts or demi-trains. Laurel leaves general on the head and breast. White sattin dresses, usually accompanied by diamonds.
