On tbe Grid introduction of the British system of education into Russia, 4r. Heard, an intelligent schoultnaater, was sent out from England ; but arriving at Bowel°, the estate of Count Bontanzolf, where Vie first sliced was to be established, an un foreaeep obstacle presented itself; not more than 3*r 4a) hors could be collected in one village, and the t Wages were so distant from each other, as entirely to preclude the possibility of the children of one village attending the sch another.— Coust Romantolf being informed that the ad get; of the new system would not be conspicuous in a school of 10 boys, and that 200 would be necessary to display it to advantage, was quite at a lass how they were to be collected ; and this circumstance seemed for a while to becloud Mr. Ile ard'a pros • peels of success. Illa• t. g, in his journies through the different villages of the COlllll . O estate, observed a number of children miserably ragged and dirty, begging from door to dour, and Lieu;; informed that they were urp:.ans who had no means of support but by soliciting charity, he conceived the benevolent plan of rescuing these pour little creatures from misery, igno rance, and vice, by the establishment of a school of industry, in whit i they mig:d, by their owe labour, contribute something towards their support. This plan was objected to by many, as being impracticable : the chief objection urged was, that the children, being accustomed to a li,et of vagrant idletteas, could never be brought to contribute, in any material degree, toward their own support. But, fortunately, the two principal persons of the ; lace were of a different opinion, and upon a roper statement tieing solute to Count Romani:off and Ceneral Tlerabint, it was resoled to erect a large building fur the ac commodation of the boys ; end to enclose a considerable piece of land fur a kitchen garden, in which they were to labour doting the summer season. The erection of the building ne cessarily occupied a considerable time, but the Count granted Mr. the use of the right wing of his own house, and be sonatr i cied .ill boys from the sillages ; the barbarous rude ness of their manners correspond, d witb their miserable ap pearance; the generality of them had l o ng lily hair, swarming with vermin ; ditty laces, and tattered gaiments which scarcely covered their nakedness; nn slim a, nu stockings ; their looks were expressive of huit,;er and misery. Such were they, and such would they have continued tube: accestonted to a wan dering, idle, vicious life, and quite until tiny useful alter ation. they would have turned out pests lu society, had they nut thus liven rete.:Ued from the ally as Id winery by Ile benevo lence of their noble master, who vidaell these miserable orphans is habits of industry, virtue, and happiness. About a fortnight afterwards they were all neatly clothed, end on the 9th of Dec. the edited was publicly °tooled and coneecrated accord ing to the rites of the Creek clench. The ragged little beggar were now metamorphosed into dean orderly scholar:, whir secured to pride themselves not a little on their Unproved ap• penance.

Mr. Heard's chief object in taking these lid bov s wider iabiltle. lion before the ac'uoul•loinu wan built, was to prepsre them to am as monitors, and the rapidity with which they learned as truly astonishing.

The hour of assembling in so . iool during the summer was seven in the morning, and they came out again at ten ; three hours in the day being amply sufficient to teach them reading, writing, and the four first rulea of arithmetic, in two years ; from ten to eleven they were a lowed to play ; at eleven the dinner bell riiiig, and they proceeded two uud Iwo to the dining room, where grace was distinctly pronounced by the monitor of the day, whose duty k was to read to his companions, while eating their dinners, a portion of the Holy Scriptures. At twelve they arranged themselves in ,lasses, according to their em ployment, and proceeded to their dilferent masters to work, from which they generally returned about eight in the evening: at nine they supp..il, and immediately after supper their names were called over by the monitor general, and those absent marked down for enquiry the following day. This being done, ■nd the Evening Hymn sung by them, they retired to rest.— Eight months after the opening of the school, Inure than 60 children went in procession to their benefactor, Count Roman :soli, dressed in clothes suit shoes of their own making. His Excellency on this ovcasion ordered them a br tier dinner than usual, and promised to partake of it with them ; which promise lie fulfilled, to the inexpressible pleasure of the poor children Fruill this time the institution continued to prosper, and even those who had opposed, joined in praising it ; the children made rapid progress, butts iii,learning and their trades, and be came cheerful, obliging, and industrious. A strict observance of die Sabbath was not forgotten in the institution, and that part of the day not spent in church was appropriated to reading extracts from the Holy Scriptures. By means of the school at Ilomel, the British sy strut of edu cation spread to Poland, where hitherto the strongest prejudices had existed against instructing the twasatitry. Nr. Raituvitcli, tr young man of at, amiable disposition, was sent by the Uni versity of Viltio to study the system, which lie did with the greatest assidnity ; and soon rafter his return, three schools were established for the poor upon this plan; and according to the last accounts (coin thence, they were actively employed in the establishment of more. • There are 17.1/03 male peasants on this estate, one tow■ and between SO said 90 t General Derattin, a gentleman of eminent talents and libe ral sentiments, bad the entire management of the estate, the Cou it being ion intim to take an active part.

Accounts were received on Saturday at the Ad mirals". of the loss lids d lojesty's sloop Racchurse, Captain Stickling, in attempting to enter the har bour of Douglas, Isle oF Man, on the night of the 11 h instant. The following letter 0.1 the subject will be tinina interesting : vessel had been ordered from the Plymouth station to the Isle of Man, as convoy for the riiritaitt cutter, Lieutenant Read, which bad been disabled in a beast' gale in Douglas Bay, on the Oth of October, and obliged to cut away her mast lied throw her gulls overboard; she was with much difficulty brought into the harbour there, and, after having undergone a temonary repair, was to hove proceeded to Plymouth under convoy, as it cove staled. The Arc -hers' left Nfilford-flaven early on Saturday winning, the 14th inst. After taking 101111 on board, elle proceeded for her destination. They made the island betw.eon two or three 11311. ; but the weather bein thick, and the night pitchy dark, die pilot, it is supposed, on nearing the shore, mistook the Bay of Castletown, whirl, is very ti• pacieue, for that of Dangles; and shout half past five, when the land was descried close to them, in attempting to enter the le.y, the vessel struck upon fatigues* Point, which is sur rounded by tremendoue maul almost perpendicular rocks. All hopes of saving her was at once given up, and she filled in st. Italy, and the pumps became totally useless. Guns of dis tress, with rockets, false fires, and other signals were made fur assistance from shore ; but the wind blowing directly into the hay, and being rather fresh, two boats only could be 'uncured Wit would venture out to their assistance, whid they did with lanterns in their bows ; and many of the inhabitants rushed Guar the town, in a utost dismal eight, to the bead, which is full three miles from it, and over the greatest pert very den gerous, from the rocks and broken ground to he passed, ail this in the hope of being useful to the unfortunate suiferers.— At the dune she struck, the Captain and S,:taior Lieutenant were both on deck, and it appear: that no fault whatever can be attributed to the officers on this melancholy occasion. •' It now became necessary to save the lives of the crew ; and such was the excellent discipline on board the ship, that not a man quitted her withotit orders. Vt , e understand that the captain had the roll called of the crew, and on each titan's 11:11111., bring called over, lie stepped into the host, when an officer was named to descend and take chat ge of it, and to land if possible among the rocks, ut which there appeared lint little hopes, as the sea was treating over them with .great violence. Happily for all but the last boat, this difficulty was completely overcome, ns by this time fires were mole with straw in dif ferent directions near the wreck, where there was any hopes of their binding in secirrity. • The Captain, First Lieutenant, and a Master's Mate (Mr. Bone), came by the last boat, which, unfortunately, was rather et owiled, and consisted of ..tenteen persons, Capt. Snckliwg being the last 111:111 who voided the ship. Whet, at some dis tance fr the rocks, the boat unfortunately upset, by which ajl were left to shift for themselves. The Captain, being a gumd 000000 er, was saved with much difficulty ; as were the bieute neat, some of the sailors, and some of the boat's crew ; but Mr. llono, the fisherman who commanded the boat (which was one Dint went out to their assistance), live of the crew of the Itareloort, and two men belonging to the hoot, were unfortu nately drowned, snaking a total of nine p !mons who perished on this melancholy occasion ; and when all citiainistances are con sidered, it is wonderful that 110 more lives were lost. tfy this sudden eatestroplie the ollic;rs lost every thing hot what they had on their barks ; yet the object that crenthe conimineration is the widow of the fisherman she c iiiii tivireiled the boat, aunt 101 gallants 101 l Isis life on the occasion ; she hail just been delivered of her eighth child, and has, by there me• tus. been deprived of all het hopes is this life, whil•b de• 'tended solely oil her husband's exertions : it is not, however, doubted but that Government will handsomely provide for her t is the least rermispense she can C•pect. . .

TUESDAY, DEC. 23. IN THE MATTED OF TODD, RUSSELL, AND ()VIERS BAAKitrrTS. Mr. Cullen begged to muse, that the bankrupts' certificates might be at aged in this matter. Mr. Montague rose anti stated, he 114(1 to oppose that motion as it had lung been laid down as a rule of the Como, that no motion should tier be permitted to be made iu matta:rs of bank ruptcies. Mr. Cullen replies!, that strictly speaking it was not a motion for in fact it was a petition, which lie held is his hand, but ns the court was just rising for the Christmas holidays, he felt it necessary to mention it in the shape of a motion, because before the Court sat again, in all probability the bankrupts would base got their certificates, if out prevented by the interference of the Court to (lay. iris Lordship—When was your petition presented ? Mr. Cullen—lt NILS wily drawa this morning; therefore it was impossible we could have come here earlier. My clients are creditors to the amount of 10,0001.—they have pressed their under the comniisaion—and we now pray that the clan( e of assignees may be postponed until the petitimi can be fully heard, so that the bankrupts may out new be permitted to 04- taiti their certificates. Mr. Montague contended, that there was nothing more de cidedly established in the Court of Chancery than that such a motion as this lo hould not he a lowed to be made ; and lie wus firmly of opinkm, that if all the facts of this matter were known, not only hi. Lordship, but every person who Lad attended to lie practice of the Court, would immediately see the wisdoms of this rule. His Lordship—Viet are certain!. at liberty topresent a pe tition, praying that it may tie nears on au early day.

I shan't. But let it lie remembered, that from henceforward no motions in matters of bankruptcies will be heard. Mr. Montague than mused that the present motion should be dismissed with costs.

His Lordship said tint was one of the petitions which now laid upon his table with that very view, and he would not love any more time than lie could possibly help in attending to it.

The defendant is a bricktnaker in a very extensive way at NI:le-end. The roads in question are chielly used by Idea. The charge of the prosecution was, that the defendant carried away the mil of these roads for hi. , own onrnoses, namely, In make good the surface of filled up pita made by Ma, in procuring the clay to make bricks and it watt , bish, thereby lowering the road, mid depriving it of its soil. For the defendant, :tint:minim, Sergeant contended that it was the defendant's interest to keep the roads in repair, and that unless the loose mould was taken out of the ruts and thitlille of the road, and other hard sult.,lances put in its place, they would become impassable, and that the defendant had dune no enure than this, which be proved by the defendant'► sun and workmen. _ _ The leorolChief Justice stated to the Jury, that if the defer• daut had deprived the roads of their soil for his own private purpo,es, and put in its bleed rubbish, at the injury of this roads and ireuurt nicncc of the politic, they must find the de• Pendant guilty ; but if he only took such boil from the road so as to replace it with something firmer, for the good attic roads, they must find him not guilty.
