RETURNED from a Summer excursion to the North, Mr. HAMILTON submits once more to the consideration of the enlightened community of the metropolis that SYSTEM of INSTRUCTION which he had first the honour of proposing to them one year ago. Without a protector but its own merits, with out a co-operating friend in those circles the public expression of whose approbation usually insures success, the Hamiltonian Sys. tern has successfully warred against the host of adversaries whom incredulity and interest have excited against it. Above 130 public and private classes have been formed within the lest year in London and its vicinity ; between 21)0 and 300 pu pils are now in progress in Liverpool, Glasgow. and Paisley, yet no complaint, no instance of failure. has yet been brought before the public. The books published by Mr. Hamilton fur the attainment of the French, Latin, and Greek, ase now in the hands 01 several thousand persons, and, with the aid of the full instructions which they contain for the use of them, produce, even in the hands of other teachers, effects altogether impossible on the plan of the schools. No one of Mr. Hamilton's numerous adversaries has brought forward a solid objection to his system, or has attempted so controvert the effects ascribed to it. May it not therefore be fairly inferred, that the thing was impos sible, that Mr. Hamilton has fulfilled every engsgement, accom plished every prediction, satisfied every reasonable expectation? And if he has, and If evidence that he has done so is before the public. uoimi:eaclied and unimpeachable, what hinders that the Hamiltonian System be adopted** the national system, in the room of that of which society has been so long the victim and the dupe ? Is there really such a pleasure in poring over the pages of a grammar or dictionary, to the exclusion Of all useful knowledge, that those parents who hare run the scholastic gauntlet of a seven years' drudgery themselves, are afraid to deprive their children of the comforts and benefits which they derived from It ; or is it that the children themselves, like Russian wives, are sc much in love with slavery and flogging, that they are unwilling to give up such truly impressive marks of the affection of their masters ? Of this affection some preciosia instances have lately berm brought before t a be o r e ric in one case, the blood drawn in above 40 places ; in o , a child between seven and eight scourged to blood for not pronouncing rightly the word " affectation !" °horror I And Bri tons, whose blond thrills at the relation of West Indian slavery, bear of such aboard, such atrocious cruelty with indifference; and the papeftatoe of so foul a deed is dismissed from the tribunal oo condition of paying the surgeon, and boasts of having had nearly 6,000 children committed to his care! Punishment is really as fo. reign to the business of a teacher se it is to that of the doctor or the lawyer ; as reasonable would it be in the former to flog his patients or the latter his clients, as it is in schoolmasters to flog their pupils. If they teach, punishment is unnecessary ; but they order to learn; flogging becomes a matter of necessity ; for an order implies the power and the will to enforce the execution of it. Here, then, is the grand feature which distinguishes the jkomiltonian system from all others ; on this system alone the ter says " aliens," an the others say " Idles." The difference between Measure weeds is sufficient to overturn the world, and may wAI account for the effects ascribed to the Hamiltonian System, for the possibility of guaranteeing the progress of every individual pupil, of predicting a given proficiency in a given time, with the same certainty as the arrival of a stage at a cettain hour. To teach, on whatever mode, is sufficient to operate wonders ; but here it is systematized ; it is enabled to display its energies by analytical translation, repetition, chusitication of the pupils, and beginning a language with the words, and not with the laws by which they are muibined. These principles apply to every mind, wlftther cultivated or not ; to every Intellect, whether obtuse or acute ; to every degree of previous ac goirement. But those who say Mr. Hamilton cures all diseases with the same remedy confound disease with health, and drugs with wholesome food. .Me. Hamilton receives no pupii who dust not wmai, or at least appear to possess, a sound mind in a sound body ; none who have eny other disease than partial ignorance; for ,this, the remedy must always be the same, to teach. Once more Mr. Hamilton entreats the attention of a British public to the evi dam he offers of a proficiency in any given science hitherto un known, and with an economy of time, of labour, and money, of which the common plan of schooling can furnish neither idea tor example. Mr. Hamilton only waits a more distinct expression of the public opinion as to his system to establish a Hamiltonian School for Youth, in which it is proposes) to have a e room and sepa rate teacher for every eight pupils in whi ch sa ' e very t pupil will be taught six hours a-day, on the plan of his private classes, all those objects which in after life we would wish to have learned, but for the attainment of which a whole life would be too short on the com- mat plan, in which the instruction will be certain and the attain. mint of vicious habits impossible, which shall combine all the ad vantages and obviate the inconveniences of public schools. He trusts that the present winter will suffice for this purpose ; and that, in March next, he will be able to offer to the public the pro %pectin of such an establishment. Meantime he will be happy to receive the advice of such gentlemen as are friendly to his efforts, relative to the location ? whether the establishment ought to be a day or boarding school, or both ? the object& to be taught, the re muneration to be stipulated ? the mode of bringing the subject be fore the public, &c. With a view to create the greatest possible number of witnesses to its Orkney to enable all but the wilfully blind to see its nature and effects, Mr. Hamilton will endeavour to give his private and public classes for adults the greatest extent in his power. His partner for the classical languages, Mr. Underwood, will be shortly in London. A son and daughter, born in France, who were his coadjutors in the United States for several years, have again united themselves with hint. Several more mistime of real talents have been engaged, for the modem as well as ancient Lan guages. in order that the winter classes may begin with every pos sible advantage, A Class of Ladies, for the French language, at 11. per section, without guarantee, (useless fur those who are in earnest to km.) will meet on Monday, the 30th instant, at 2., Cecil -street, at 1 o'clock.

A Privets Class of Ladies, for French, will meet Miss Margaret I •Hamilton, at No. 25, Cecil-meet, Strand, on Wednesday, the Ist November, at 12 o'clock precisely. A Private Claes of Ladies, for Italian, will be met by Miss Hamilton, at the same place, on Thursday, the 2d November at st 12 o'clock precisely.

The instruction is the same in both ; the guarantee offered the private classes, and the facility of meeting at almost all hours, and of taking the sec tion at will, constitute the chief difference.

Its motions will he as follows, to distinguish it from the light of Nargcn, on the south shore:- 1. The light will appear for the space of one minute and a half. 2. It will be darkened 36 seconds. 3. The light will appear for 20 seconds. 4. It will be darkened 35 seconds. Thus closes one entire revolution, and it recommences with 1.4:1 1. "otice of the completion of the Fidsand Light-hoesee the 20th of September (Oct. 2), both light.bonaes will bo lighted; their distance from one soother is 630 feet. The old one to the southward is 110 feet high from the level of the water; the new one to the northward 100 feet. Both lights are stationary, to prevent the possibility of their being mistaken for that of Dagerort, which is a revolving light. Cronuadt, Sept. rd (24), 1824. FROM LLOYD'S LIST. Puweapcw, OCT.

Ii fi 1.1 1. 1 A 11, 1 rine LATE GALES. You p OCT, 11.—In eonaeeptence of the very heavy rains that have fallen within the last few days, our river (the . (lux) hay been swollen to an unusual 'height, which het put many individuals to great inconvenience.; indeed suck a flood has not been experienced here for several yews. The river overflowed to such an extent that North-street, Skeldergetc, and other streets enjoining the river, were completely floodixl, and the inhabitants under the ne cessity of removing their furniture, &c. to the tippcir stories of the houses. Several of the gas lamps enjoin ing the river were obliged to be lighted by means of a boat. We are informed, that on Tuesday the water was full twenty-one feet above th: ordinary level of the river. The heavy rains which fell tor some days previous to Mon day last, and which continued during the whole of that day, caused the river Wear to awed to a tremendons height. The water, in the morning, was much ahoy.: its usual level, and it kept gradually increasing until about half past one or two o'clock ou Tuesday morning, when it was at its greatest flow. At this time it was com puted to be upwards of ehrhteen inches higher than the Hood of the 3d of February, ISt% being, consequently, the greatest that has been witnessed since the ruetnorab:e one of 1771. We need hardly inform such of our readers as are acquainted with the country through which the Wear runs, that its hanks were overflowed in many places, an 4 in some, to a very considerable depth and extent. The dif ferent brooks in the surrounding count 7 sr e 3re also much . swollen, and completely inundated, the low lands lying contiguous to them. In the immediate neighbourhood of this place, in particulat', there was a great expanse of wa- • ter, as the grounds adjoining the river, from their general flatness, present no obstacle to the spreading of the liquiel element when once it overflows its boundaries. Every house in the lower part of the north side of New Elvet, in this city, and the corn-mills, gardens, stables, &c. adjoining the river, were flooded to the depth of several feet ; but, with one exception, we are not aware that any material injury was done: the foundry of Mr. Chisman, near Elvet Bridge, was filled with water, which, we understand, did great damage; and some large stones were washed out of one of the piers of the bridge by tlieviolence of the current. In the neighbourhood, however, a good deal of damage was caused by the washing away of mill-dams, wooden bridges, tte. ; and Mr. Smith, of the Langley paper mills, is represented to have sustain ed: a ra ther serious loss. Several farmers who had 00,13 stacks stand ing within reach of the water have also been sufferers, not that any, so far as we have heard, have been washed away, hut that they have been much injured by being ea long in the water. The road at Sunderland Bridge was entirely ,covered with water; so much so as to prevent the Exmouth and ilighflyer coaches from arriving in this city until the 'following morning, about twelve hours behind their usua' time: The Express and Telegraph, however, came in t t the regular hour, although the water ran in at the betters' of the former coach as it was passing through. Neither was the mail retarded, as the flood had subsided consider , ably at the time she passed Sunderland Bridge, about half past three on Tuesday morning. The Expedition coach was also detained by the overflowing of the river at Shin cliffe Bridge on the Stockton road, and did not reach this town until next morning. We are happy to hear that, great as have been the ravages of this flood, it kas not been attended with any loss of human life in this vicinity, al though a boy who was amusing himself by catching water wreck, from a yard near Elvet Bridge, had Si narrow escape from being drowned on Monday afternoon. Ile fell from a wall on which lie was standing into the river, which was refining with great velocity. lie was unable to swim, but by severe struggling he • kept himself above water until anotherlad, who was in the yard, ran towards him and suc ceeded in getting hold of him by the collar and dragging him out just as he was on the point of being swept away. The wind during the day blew a perfect hurricane from the N.H. The loss in shipping, on the coast, is truly la mentable, there being, as we arc informed, no less than Ti ships on shore between the Humber and Holy Island ! ' Diu hem Chronicle. • The rains at the commencement of the put week were exceedingly heavy in this neighbourhood, and we believe throughout the county: the roads in many places were rendered impassable by the floods, and the low lands gent welly were inundated. Considera ble damage was summed ; the most material we have heard of was the loss of forty sheep by J. J. Farquharson, Esq. of Langton, in conse quence of the rapid rise of the river Stour. The best grazing lands in Sotnersetshire have suffered considerable injury, as an unusual quantity of the grass is at this time on the land, which is entirely spoiled for stock; the graziers will consequently be obliged to have an early recourse to serving their cattle with hay.—SherLor se Mercury. Captain Helsel', of the Eclipse steam. packet, brings accounts of a dreadful storm at Belfast, which began en Sunday afternoon, and continued without intermission tit Tuesday forenoon. Much damage was done to the ship ping, and the Sally and Dwarf cutters were both wrecked, crews saved. A number of houses and trees were blown down, and otherwise damaged. The oldest Pilots in Belfast declare, that the violence of the storm exceeded any they ever before witnessed.—Glasgow Chronicle. Saturday week six men, three women, and three children, embarked in a fishing-l e oat at Essington, about sevea o'clock in the morning, intending to conic to Hull, it then being moderate weather. About two o'clock, it came on to blow very hard, and the master began to fear they had lust their course, which was the fact ; for, the wind hav ing changed, and there being no compass to steer by, and the weather being so thick they could not see the lana— they were then in the open sea. About four o'clock they fell in with the brig Mayflower, Captain Kemp. from Sun derland to Lynn, which lay-to tor them. On the boat coining up, a rope was thrown from the brig, by which tour nun succeeded in getting on board, viz. W. Fox, F. Burn, J. Ranson, and W. Wilkinson. After this, the boatman unfortunately let go the rope ; the consequence of which was, tk.t his boat got out of sight, and was not again seen by the people on board the brig. There sere then in the boat, J. B'ilkinson, the master, his brother John Wilkinson, Jane Wilkinson, an old woman named Johnson, and three children, who, it is much to t e feared, have all perished. Capt. Kemp treated those he had saved with the greatest possible kindness and humanity, and landed them safe at Lynn. Sunday, a labourer at the Distillery, named Roger Rvan, descended into one of the large vessels in these concert», iu company with a carpenter, named White, to stop a leak. A small quantity of spirits which had remained us the vat after it was drained, unfortunately took fire by a lighted candle which fell from Ryan's leind ; the blaze Instantly caught his clothes, and seorchrel h;m in a most tertible manner. Ile struggled to get up the ladder by whielt he had descended, but fell back into the flames, where ha would have been scalded to death, but that a person along side the vat caught him by the arm, and dragged him out in a most terrible condition. The poor fellow, after some lenitive. were applied to h;s burns, was brought to the County Infirmary, where be His in a most dangerous con dition. The other man (White) was more fortunate, as, immediately on perceiving the flames, le: ascended the lad der, and escaped uninjured, with the exception that biz hair and eyebrows wets quite burnt oW.—Limerick 05. server.
