ItETURNED from a Summer excursion to the North, Mr. HAMILTON submits once more to the consideration of the enlightened community of the metropolis that SISTE3I of INSTRUCTION which he bad first the honour of proposing to than one year ago. Without a protector but its own merits, with out a co-operating friend in those circles the public eapreasion of whose approbation usually insures success, the Hamiltonian Sys tem has successfully warred against the h ost of adversaries whom incredulity and interest have excited against it. Above 130 public and private classes have been formed within the last year in London and its vicinity ; between 200 and 300 pu pils are !low in progress in Liverpoo‘ Glasgow, and Paisley, yet no complaint, no instance of Milure, has yet been brought before the public. The books published by Mr. Hamilton for the attainment of the French, Latin, and Greek, are now in the hands of several thousand returns, 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 pian of the schools. No one of Mr. - Hamilton's numerous adversaries has brought forward a solid objection to his sy..tens, or has attempted to 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 engagement, BCCOIII. pludied every prediction, satiafied every reasonable expectation ? And if he has, and if evidence that he has done so is begird the public. unisupeached and unimpeachable, what hinders that the flarniltonian System be adopted as the national system, in the room of that of which society has been so long the victim and the dupe ? Is there rashly such a pleasure in poring over the pages of a grammar or dictionary, to the exclusion of all useful knowledge, that those parents who have run the scholastic gauntlet of a seven pairs' drudgery themselves, are afraid to deprive their children of :!se comforts and benefits which they derived from it ; or is it that the children themselves, like Russian wives, are so much in love with slavery and dogging, that they are unwilling to hive up such 'My impressive marks of the affection of their masters ? Of this affaetion some precious instances have lately been brought before the public : in one case, the blood drawn in above 40 places ; in another, a child between seven and eight scourged to blood for not pronouncing rightly the word " affectation !" (1 honor ! And Bri tons, whose blood thrills at the relation of Nett Indian slavery, hear of such absurd, such atrocious cruelty with indifference; and the perpetrator of so foul a deed is dismissed front the tribunal on condition of paying the sur,„seon, and boasts of having had nearly 5,000 children committed to his care ! Punishment is really as for reign to the business of a teacher as 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. lit they teach, punishment is unnecessary ; but they order to Irian; Hogging 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 Hamiltonian System from all others ; on this system alone the teacher says " allons," all the others say " sties." The difference between these two words is sufficient to overturn the world, and may well account for the effects ascribed to the Hamiltonian System, for the possibility of ,gdarantecing the progress of every individual pupil, of predicting a gAcn proficiency in a given time, with the sante certainty as the antral of a stage at a certain 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, classification of the pupils, and beginning a language with the words, and not with the lows by which they are combined. These principles apply to every mind, whether cultivated or not ; to every intellect, whether obtuse or acute; to every degree of previous ac quirement. But those who say Mr. Hamilton cures all diseases with the aunt:remedy confound disease with health, and drugs with wholesome food. Mr. Hamilton receives no pupil who does not possess, or at least appear to possess', a sound mind in a sound lsoly ; none who hare any other disease than partial ignorance; for 0.,it,11 , 4 remedy must always be the same, to teach. Once more Mr. Hamilton entreats the attention of a British public to the evi. &anise ofiers• of a proficiency in any given science hitherto un losers. and with an economy of time, of labour, and money, of which the comma. pLin of schooling can furnish neither idea nor example. Mr. Ilantilton only waits a more distinct expression of the public aoinfin as to his system to eauthltalt a Ilantiltottian School for Youth, in which it is proposed to hare a separate room and sep.. este teacher for every eight pupils, in which every pupil will be taught six hours a-day, on the plan of his private classes, all those (Sint, which in after life we would rich to have learned, but for the attainment uf which n whole life could be too short on they:out man plan, in which the instruction will be certain and the attain. milt of vicious habits impossible, which shall combine all the ad. vantages and obviate the inconveniences of public schools. Ile 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. spectus of such an establishment. Meantime he will be happy to receive the advice of such gentlemen as are friendly to his elliorts, relative to the location ? whether the establishment ought to be a day or boarding school, or both ? the objects to he taught, the re muneration to be stipulated ? the mode of bringing the subject ',e lute 'h.: public, Ile. With a view to crente the greatest possible number of witnesses to its efficacy, to enable all but the wilfully blind to see its nature and effects, Mr. Hamilton will en d eavour to give his private and Public chies fur adults the greatest extent in his power. His putter for the classical languages, 31r. Underwood, will be glumly in London. A son and daughter, born in France, wbo woe Ins coadjutors in the I 'nited States for several years, have VIM united thennelna with hint. Several more assistants areal Welts have been engaged, for the modem as well as ancient lan. Mewl. in order that the winter classes may begin with every pos. bible advantage. A Class of Ladies, for the French language, at 11. per section, without emnutace, (useless ter those who are in earnest to learn.) will meet on llonday, the 30th instant, at 26, Cecil-street, at I o'clock.

Subscription 2/. lea. P= 'section. 31r. Hamilton wishes it to be understood that no spec tator is suffered at either public or private classes. The instruction ts the same in both ; the guarantee offered the private classes, and the facility of nieeting at almost all hours, anti of taking the sec tion at • ill, constitute the chief difference. Private Claws, for all the languages, met in any pan of the %Glen neighbourhood on the saute terms as in Cecil-street. ~ The Works hitherto publi s hed on the Hamiltonian Sy s t em , w i t h !;all direction s for their use, to be had of Messrs.

ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER OFFICE, Established Fifty Yearn—S3, Cannon-street, St. George's in the East, late of John's-hill, opposite the Church, Ratcliffe highway. LUCY BCRRINGHAM, widow, gratefully returns her thanks for the favours she has received from the Li censed Victuallers of the Tower Division, and her friends gene. rally, during a period of thirty-four years of unwearied attention. Unfortunately for her interests, she has been confined by indispo. sition nearly seven years, which, added to her increasing age, hare necessarily obliged her to confide her business to the active ma. nagement of her servants. in the course of events these servants have withdrawn themselves from her employ, and established them. selves in her vicinity, to her most serious injury, by withdrawing from her several of her oldest friends. These things, distressing as they are to her feelings, and inimical to her interests, she would not have obtruded on public attention, had her previous exertions of upwards of thirty years yielded her a sufficient maintenance for her declining days. But feeling that a powerful opposition is mak ing considerable efforts to obtain her CUtWiIIICTS, she feels obliged thus publicly (though reluctant)y), to appeal to the Licensed 1 tc tuallers, and her friends generally, to preserve her from impending poverty, by continuing their support and patronage.

Considering what has occurred in many places from the ignorance of the work-people as to the state of the law re specting combinations, we have judged it expedient and useful to publish an abstract of the Act passed during the last Session of Parliament. A mistaken and mischievous opinion exists among the labouring classes, esp:.-cially in Glasgow and London, that this Act leaves theta free not only to fix the rate of remuneration below which they will not work, but by force and threats to prevent others from working at a lower rate than they may think fit to require. It certainly never was the intention of Parliament to en courage or sanction these violent proceedings. The object of the repeal of the old combination laws was to establish perfect freedom with respect to the bargains made between master and journeyman as to work and wages. It is dis graceful to the operative mechanics of Great Britain, that any portion of them should have manifested a disposition ' to avail themselves of the right which they supposed the repeal of the combination laws Savo them, to commit the outrages to which they have had recourse, in order to en force their demands upon their employers ; and it is not lea impolitic than disgraceful, because the late conduct of the weavers of Glasgow, and sonic workmen in London, directly tends to produce an opinion, that the intertits of trade, and the peace of society, require the re-enactment o f the oppressive powers formed plumed by the masters. The Ket In question Is t he Sth George W. c. 9i. It was passed the 25th of June last, and is intituled— " An Act to repeal the Laws relative to the Combination of Workmen ; and for other purposes therein mentioned." It begins by reciti .4, •• Whereas it is expedient that rt., laws relative to the combination of workmen, and to fixing the wages of labour, should Le repealed ; that certain combinations of masters and workmen should be exempted from punishment; and that the attempt to deter workmen titan work should be punished in a sum mary manner." It therefore enacts that 3! enumerated Acts and parts of Acta, together with all other laws, statutes, and enactments now in force throughout or in any part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. relative to combinations to obtain an advance of wages, or to lessen or alter the hours or duration of the time of working, or to decrease the quantity of work, or to regulate or contra! the mode of carrying on any manufacture, trade, or business, or the management thereof; relative also to combinations to lower the rate of wages, or to increase or alter the hours or duration ache time of working, or to increase the quantity of work, or to regulate or too. trop the mote of carrying on any manufacture, trade, or business, tithe management thereof; relative also to fixing the amount of the wage; of labour; relative also to obliging workmen not hired toenter into work ; together with every other Act and enactment en forcing or extending the application of any of the Acts or enact ments repealed by this Act, shall be and the same are hereby re. pealed save sod except in as far as the same may have repealed any prior Act or enactment. 11. That Journeymen, workmen, or other persons who shall enter into any combination to oLutin as advance or to fix the rate of wages, or to lessen or alter the hours or duration of the time o working, or to decrease the quantity of work, or to induce another to depart from his service before the end of the time or term for which lie is hired, or to quit or return his work before the same shall be finished, or nut being hired, to refuse to enter into work or em ployment, or to regulate the mode of carrying on any manufacture,' trade, or busin es s, or the management thereof, shall not therefore be subject or liable to any indictment or prosecuticti for conspiracy, or to any other criminal information or punishment whatever, under the common or the statute law. That toasters, employers, or other persons, who shall enter into any combination to lower or to fix tile rate of wages, or to in crease or alter the hours or duration of the time of sinking, or to increase the quantity of work, or to regulate the mode of carrying on any manufacture, trade, or business, or the management there of, shall not therefore be subject or liable to any indictment or pro secution or fur conspiracy, or to any other criminal information or punishment whatever, under the common or the statute law.
