SIR, As the question with regard to the melioration•Of the livings of the Parochial Schoolmasters of Scpte land, whiclr will be broaght before Parliament im metliatyy after the Recess, is an. object of national impordfice, •and but little understood on this side the Tweed, may I be permitted, throsagh Abe me dium of your excellent Paper; to mention ,a few fiats with regard to the present. situation of this respectable and useful class of• men, and to suggest a method in which it appears to me : their livings might be considerably improved; withoutlessening their industry in teaching, and at no great expellee to the Landed Interest. Soseally as the year 1646, Parish Schools were established in Scotland, by an aft of ; the Scottish Convention, and though this law was abrogated at the Restoratioo, they were again established upon their• original footing by the Ist William 111. passed in the year 1696. By this latter AO it was ordained, that in every parish there should be a .Schoolmaster qualified to teach English, writing, accounts, and the elements of the Latin language.— 'The ricrninatioti .of the Master was lodged in the hands of the Heritors of the respeCtive parishes, who were bound to provide hi:la in a school-house, and in a salary of whiCh the maximum. was ILL zs. ad. 8-12ths, and the minimum . sl. I Is, id. sterling, according to their' valued rent. — This provision, small as it may seem to us at this day, and in this part of the empire, was, a hundred years ago, in 'Norah Britain, an objeft of sufficient importance to attraCt the attention of men of the first classical abilities. Accordingly, the Parish- Schools were filled with able and efficient Masters.— At these humble seminaries, the children of families of rank and fortune were prepared for the Univer sities ; and so moderate were the school fees, that the humblest cottager in the parish was enabled to bestow upon his sons the advanta2,Nes of_ a classical educ.ationo—lt is not to be wondered at then, -that a taste for literature has been so prevalent in Scot_ /and, and that the middling and lower classes of socieay there have possessed a degree of information which we shall look for in vain amid the same rank of life in any other country of Europe. But times are altered—money is now so much ;depreciated, that the sum .which was an objeCt a hundred years ago, is so no longer.—No additions have been made to the salaries, and few to the rates of teaching, i n the•Parothial Schools of Scotland; since their first institution'; and it is a feet which I am' warranted in stating from the most undoubted authority, that at a medium calcelation, the whole emoluments arising from one of these sealinaries, do not yield the Master mare than 201. per annum. Now, Mr. Editor, the tate of :wages fur the commonest-day labourer in: Scotland is is. 61 or as. per day, sd that as matters stand at present, the man who is in vested with the important and respectable office of forming the minds and morals of the rising genera_ tion, is in a worse condition than the lowest .de scription of the labouring poor. It is easy to foiesee then, that unlessa more ade quate provision be instantly made, the Parish Schools cannot be supplied with Teachers, or, if supplied at all, it muss needs be with men who are altogether unqualified to answer the purposes of the institution. But granting the necessity. of a more -adequate provision, which all must allow, a ques tion of some difficulty occurs with regard to the triode in which it is most advisable to make on the one hand, you increase the salary to such a degree as to enable the Master to live independent of the fees of teaching, there is great danger, that -instead of operating as a motive to diligence, it will render him inattentive to the duties of his office : -and if, on the other hand, you attempt to improve his situation, by raising the school fees, you, in_this case, completely shut out the lower ranks from the means of instruction, and check that universal &if, fusion of knowledge, which it is the glory of the Parochial Schools of Scotland to have hitherto so successfully promoted. •In order to avoid both these inconveiliencies, I would think it advisable that the whole of the proposed augmentation should be paid by the Landed Proprietors, but a third part of it, only upon certain conditions.—Suppose that the Legislature shall appoint 301. sterling as the mini mum of salary. Of this sum, I would propose that 201. should be paid unconditionally• but the re maining tol. I would give to those Masters only, the number of whose scholars was proportioned to the 'population of the Parish, in a certain ratio to be fixed by Parliament. If the ratio be so scholars for every • toot, souls, then in a Parish consisting of zOOO the Master will not be entitled to the additional Joh unless the number of his scholars amount to too, and so in other Parishes according to their respective populations.—l have fixed upon the number of pu pils as the standard by which the conditional tol. • is- to be given, or withheld, because this, in ge neral, is 'the safest criterion to judge of the Teacher's diligence. And when the state of the School accords with the specified condition, the Landed Proprietors should be essiand to pay the conditional salary, upon receiving a certified Report of the num bers from the Clergy of the Distria, under whose Management the• Parochial Schools have been lately placed by a decision of the House of Peers. In this way, I think, would the situation of the Parish Schoolmasters he considerably improved, and ' their exertions excited at no great expence (consi dering the importance of the object) to the Heritors, and without depriving the Poor of the means of instruction, by raising the school fees higher than " tltey ccidd afford.. And if, in addition to the salary - thus; judiciously applied,. the Masters were provided by, the Landed Interest with dwelling-houses, and ' exempted from all taxes an'' 4urdens, we should yet see them restored to respectability among - their Parishioners, and to the enjoyment of that • moderate competence, to which their laborious and! important duties so justly entitle them. Such, Sir, • are the few thoughts that presented themselves to me upon - considering this subject ; and however; uninethoditsally they may be thrown out, or how ever indistinctly expressed, they are suggested by; and a re_ regard to the interests of my Country, LONDON : Printed by BUCHANAN NI , N4 I LLAN, (of Bow-Street, Covent-Garden); and Published by WILT- 1 m AR:vitt; S ,;;; " S of -horse-terry-road ‘Vestminiter); - ttit soN.oring, No. Jib 'Strand ; where Advertitexents) .

COUNTRY NEWS. HULL, JAN. The Four Brothers, Collier, from Shields to Lon don, was wrecked - on the Spurn Point on_Wednes, day last ; crew. saved. Four or five vessels are on shore on the Holderness coast and at the Spurn, and several others on the Lincolnshire coast, the parti culars-of which we have not yet received. The, Johanna, TATEi from Selby to this port, was sunk near Brough, on Thursday,.- in..a heavy gale,. and three men and a woman unfortunately drowned. The Perseverance, JOHN tU kw ooD master,.of and froni Southwold, bound to this port, foundered at sea on the 26th ult. crew saved. The Leda, from Riga to this port, is lost in the Categat. Early on Thursday Morning, the most tremen dous gale came on at this place that has been ex perienced for a number, of years. It continued without intermission until about noon, when it ra ther abated, but blew violently at intervals until a late hour in the evening. The damage it has done to the buildings, &c. is considerable. ,Our. letters mention, that its severity has been felt in almost . every •distrid in the kingdom. A slOop, - name un known, was sunk off Hessle, and two curt of three of the crew drow9ed ; the,, - thirdreached the land with great difficulty. Of the .crew of another sloop in great' distress off that place, one perished upon deck by 'the cold ; another was drown ed, and - the third was, by great exertions, got on shore, and carried to 1-lessle. During the preva lence of the'heavy gale, as the Nons'uch'3 - launch was coming up the Humber, she was upset by 'the vio lence of the sea, and one of the men drowned.' The rest were saved by clinging to the launch, which afterwards righted, and drove on shore opposite Hedon. Various accidents happened on the roads. The mail coach from,York was blOwn over within two . miles of Halifax, but fortunately no coßsiderab:e da mage was sustained._ This storm, the. most vio:. lent that .has ha-opened in this Country within the memory of man,. has,: we fear, been i,roduftive of extensive injuries, and we Wait with equal dread' and anxiety,* those accounts of its effeds which we may !lowly expettfrom various quirters. *URY, JAN.: 27: AT the Sessions held for this Borough, at the Guildhall, on Thursday last, Mary Hicks wis con vie-led of grand larceny, in stealing -four pints and a half of wine, •in three bottles, half a pound of tea, and a pound of sugar, the property of John Benja_ field, Esq. with whom she lived as servant, by se creting the same in a box, in order to -convey the several articles out of the dwelling-house. She was also indiaed with her fellow-servant, Bridget Pooley, for stealing three pints of wine, in two bottles, and causing the same to be conveyed off the premises of her master ; they were both conviacd of the latter offence; when ;Qat Flicks w3.i sentenced to be transported for the term of seven years, and Bridget Pooley to be imprisoned twelve calendar months its the . gaol of tliis town. Mary Camplin, another servant in the same family, -was disckarged, no true bill being found against her by the Grand Jury. The conviction of the above female servants, of the very atrocious offence (too commonly, it is feared, •praEtised) of clandestinely conveying away the provisions ,and liquors of their masters and mis tresses, and thereby violating the trust and conft-- dence reposed in them, will, it is. hoped, operate as a caution to all persons in similar capacities ; since it must convince them that this crime (though per haps deemed trivial in their eyes, from the frequent lenity of their employers) is one of the most cul pable the Law recognises, and highly deserving exemplary punishment ; indeed we are well assured that it is the determination of most of the respeet able inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood, to prosecute for. the same, in every case in which it may hereafter be discovered. During the above trial, which excited great in terest in this town, the Court was/more crowded than we ever recollea to have seen it ; and the pa.: tience and candour with which the' case was inves tigated, together with the impartial and impressive manner in which the Recorder summed up the evi dence, and passed sentence on the Prisoners, re flefted no inconsiderable share of credit on the ju risprudence of this ancient Borough. BRISTOL, JAN. 27. ON Thursday se'nnight, a most daring attempt was made to murder Mr. Samuel Simcack, jun. of Ash Grove Farm, in Ardely, Oxfordshire.—As he was returning from Banbury market, about five o'clock-in the afternoon, he was met on the turnpike road, in Fritwell Field, by . a man on foot, who, when he had passed him, without saying a single word, turned round and fired a .pistol, the contents of which entered his right ear, and came out just below the eye, and also penetrated his hat. The Duke of Marlborough has offered too guineas re ward for the convidion of the villain,, who it is hoped, will not be long undiscovered. About eight o'clock.on Monday evening last, a fire broke out in a stable in the New Shambles, at the back of High-street, Worcester, which con sumed the same, and considerably damaged some warehouses adjoining but by the aaive exertions of the neighbours,, assisted by the Officers and pri vates both of the sth Dragoon Guards and the Worcester Militia, it was got under without doing further mischief. On the first appearance of the fire, much alarm was excited for the, safety of a ,quantity of gun-powder stowed near the spot. ,It was, however, speedily removed out of danger.—, The fire was occasioned by . the negligence of a ser-. vant boy. It has long'been a desideratum in Medicine, to free Opium" from those distressing eireA's it known to produce, moree — or less, whenever'it is administered.
