Emanuel de Fellenberg, it ap pears, ball long entertained this idea ; and Robert Owen, of New Lanark, in Scotland, had it in mind a considerable tittle before he reduced it to practice. Henry Brougham says he hardly recollects the time at which he hints •If did not feel persuaded, that what is commonly called education begins too late. and is too much confined to mere learning. He is convinced, that Robert (liven was the first person who made the experiment ; and to this day, Fellenberg's plan, though in principle the same, does sot extend to in- Lints of so early an age. " It is about seven years since Robert Owen's infant school was completely established : since Felleraterg's was formed, may be about sixteen years. The former is con nected with Robert Omen's cotton manufactory, where about 2,500 persons of all ages, capable of assisting, are employed, all of whom live on the spit, excepting shout 34*, who live in the tows of Old lainork, about two miles distant. ' The children at his school belong almost entirely to the spinners at the mill, though some few may come from 1 the town ; and they all live with their p ,rents. Felfen= berg's establishment tor poor children i • in like tra.tiwr, connected with Ilk agriculture concerns, bat still more closely ; for they lire entirely on the farm, and have no in tercearse with their paints, who are NC eke Post Or') extreme terror. None of the inmates were sensible of any %hock. The soil of the garden was scattered about in various directions, and the mud of the ditch splashed thickly against the adjoining trees and bushes. The electric cloud must have traversed the atmosphere at a very low elevation; the clap of thunder, which instantaneously followed the flash at the moment of this fiery visitation, was the most startling and tremendous the writer ever heard.—(Bristol Ahretery.) The first four days of the present week gave reason to hope that a happy change had taken place in the state of the atmosphere, for though several showers fell during the night, yet in the day time we experienced more sunshine than in any equal period since the end of May. Had that genial weather continued for a few weeks longer, the baleful effects of JOl7 would have been little felt throughout the country; but early on Thursday tnorning a very heavy fall of rain commenced, which continued with great violence for three bouts, still further retarding the harvest, and daMping the confidence which the favourable beginning of the seek had invited. During the last two days several weighty showers have fallen, and the air hasase l onel a cold and winterly temperature; nevertheless, the weather upon the whole, greatly ameaded, and much better than any in the months of June and July. In another part of this paper it will be seen that in many parts of the southern counties harvest has commenced favourably, and that the 'Tops are abaudant. without blight or any other defect. Even in the northern districts, where much more rain has fallen than in the south, mildew, we have realmn to be lieve, is of very partial occurrence, and by no means to that extent as to occasion arty material defalcation In the quan tity of oroduce. With regard to the lateness of the har vest, which has been given as one of ;he pretexts for rids- , ingethe markets; it should be remembered that it is only back.. ard when put in comparison with that of last year,' which was at least three week., if not a mouth, earlier Cottons Facrs.—An intelligent Gentleman I ttely ar rived from the West I ndies, has communicated to its the f-A lowing singular particulars:—To the southward of Ber muda, and in Ist. 27. 30.

On opening him, the instrument struck npon an inpenetral.h liar's substance in his stotnaeh, which, ,upon digging out, they found to be a "ix pound Canaan - barn They reasonably atcounted for its being in the stomach of the shark, by sup• posing it to have been attached to a dead holy it. order to make it sink,ind that the voracious animal in swat to .ving the hotly-bad swallowed the shot also.

The coin was quite bright, b•it one side worn completely smooth, which it is supposed pro ceeded from its baying been washed backwards and forwarJ t frilm tides or conqtr carrents.—(Gleigote Courier.) About nine o'clock on .Sunday morning, while a number of people were looking at the metal plate that was placed on Friday last on the hedge of the harbour of Leith, in commemoration of his Majesty's landing, a porter, more curious than his neighboars, descended on the s•-. Bold that had been used by the upturns fur fixing the same, which instantly giving way. he was precipitated into the water. lie struggled for a considerable time, and before assistance could be obtained, he sunk, apparently to rise no more. Fortunately at this time he was taken up, and in a shot t time enabled, With aid, to walk home.
