TO TILE EDITOR OF THE Nif7rx • • stvi:ri.rrn., ON THE MANNERS OF THE RISING GENERA- 'nON.. Sta—Every feeling mini niust with regret perceive the daring and rebellions spirit that prevails in the youth not only of this country, but also those on the Conti nent.. The consequences of this spirit unless subdued, must inevitably prove of a very serious nature. Tre mendous meet be the fate of the youth who :thews this untoward and refractory - digpesition. Ile begins his career by flying in Oe face of his masters ; he centilitres it by doing the same to his parents; he that proceeds to otfinul the laws of his country, and cencludes by violating the Le.ve and comnandments of his God.-- The principle is the same, thengh it varies in its object and is dirt:sled to diffe . ent cede. This want of sulentliation is sufficient to excite a general alarm, particularly when we cou'emplete and shudder at the dreadful increase of crimes of every deseription, and chiefly that of forgery. The Sessions in the Metropolis, end- the Assizes in our different countries, cxhioit a ntelaucholy list of juvenile, nay infantile °Tandem. But by thou: of a well-regulated- mind, masters, tutors, and go 'messes, if conscientious in the discharge of their duty, will be regarded with esteem, and justly considered as benefactors to their country ; their patient and persevering exertions, the foundetion of the future happiness of their pupils is laid. They are in fact, loco parevilton ; and any grateful youth will view them as such. It is a narrow and contracted no tion, and false in its principle, to assert, that when instructors are paid by the parents of the children, nli obligation ceases on their part, and that of their off spring, Payment by no means cancels the oblhgation ; for the debt of gratitude can never be sufficiently paid • to those who have toiled arid labeured in the arduous and too often thankless task of endeavouring to en lighten the rising generation, and rescue it front bar barism and ignorance. I know not a more irksome profession than that of a school-master. whether public or private. It is that which is (us has bean remarked on a late trial. by an eminent Counsel) perhaps pro ductive of most benefit to the Public and of least benefit to the profenor ; for he has to struggle against pride, obstinacy, and ignorant e, withont any material pro. spect of fortuae or of (ante. Had the school-master and • school-mistress merely to attend to instruction alone, their labour would be greatly diadnished, but they are unfortunately doomed to sustain the ag,grivating insults of daring and refractory spirits, which spurn their au thority, and treat theta with contempt. Audacity and effrontery are arrived at a formidable pitch, and I am deeply concerned to say it, even among young females, from whom we naturally expect mildness and gentle ness, the proper characteristic of their sex. Of these viragos, or manlike ladies (as they are very aptly call ed) the Roman poet has, with just mud, pointed satire, . . Ntulier liinc EMVISTiMIL rat, Cum stimulus olio pitior adruovet ; _ Coutincro. sic cotlege, quid , • Nerr:o MVii gaudet, - qu - Arri finunna. It may now be Indica and with great propriety, from whence this dr(aadfal calamity originates, and how it may be rrprerseti. I scruple not to say, that for the most part of it orh•inates in the weakness, fully, and false indulgence ofparcnts, who have to thank them selves, and themselves only for the miseries which they entail upon their et/spring. Hence arise that disregard to parental authority, that insubordination, and that want of revel: wilieh arc but too evidently manifested in most families. 111 former times the youth of both . sexes were kept more in the hick g:ountl.in the war sei-v, and not introduced into company, or, to us:: the ine . dern fashiatiable. phrase,. broieght out, till bordering ua the age of eighteen or twenty. l;at now, Master or Miss make their etstree at the age of fourteen ord'Ocen, 1 when the. one can neither be treated like a boy nor the o ther liLe a girl.

In one piece you might be delighted witlt the view of houses resembling the leaning tower of Pisa, with chimneys quite oerpendi. cuhr ; and in another the leaves of trees all bearing the seine way, which gave you an aceurate idea of a storm at sea, without the artist having been at the trouble of representing angry and tempestuous waves. if the rcsultsoftruch an education he nut absurd and ridiculous in the extreme, it will be a matter of asto nishment and wonder to.

The situation of the Nittnit-al Interests has become rather alarming, from the determination of the Di. rectors of the Bank not to pr o long the redemption of 40 per cent. upon the Otnnium.
