THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.— It is only a short time RiIICC this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity world•widc. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled 1,151 :11' a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet When wo are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our Wonder will cease. A. few days si"perfect a gentleman wrote, statin that he had.a horse which was a bag of bones." li e tried kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, axd in the course of a few Veeks had gained no less than 12 s t ones. Again we find at the late We eks show at Birmingham, Cardiff, Scc., the animals which Carried off the highest prizes had been partly led with Thorley's food Infor Battle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced .the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in the merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from e good opinion and testimony of those who hare tried it. All lame s interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Batastreet, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. w ig , 0 MORE PILLS NOR ANY OTHER MEDICINE, 111611( ern Neural i t. : ', or _ (D.y.spepsia), Liver eompl u i l e ry ti s e t 3 o % r i a P , Ph le %,,., r•igi.

PROPOSED EXTENSION OF TtIE WEST-END OF LONDON AND CRYSTAL PALACE RAILWAY.—This company have, it is said, taken steps for the early accom plishment of one of the most important metropelitan lines yet proposed. It is intended to start by a junction with the Victoria Station Railway, on the north side of the Thames, so as to make use of the proposed Victoria Railway Bridge across the river for southern iraffie, and also to give access to all railways on the north side of London, the Great Western included, to the Pimlico Victoria Station, West minster. The line would pass along the north margin of the Thames, Kensington Canal, and " Punch's" Railway, and join both the Northern and Great Western Railways. The property which such a line would intersect is of that character that the railway would be made at a moderate cost, and, with the :mount of traffic which would inevitably come upon it, would doubtless make it very remunerative. The railway has been very judiciously laid out, and the surveys complet-d under the direction of Mr. Hamilton Fulton, the engineer to the West-end Railway Company. The Kensington and Notting-hill residents will by this line be placed within half-an-hour's ride of the Crystal Palace, and a proportionate saving of time will be obtained by the inhabitants of the northern districts of London.

DE LAMARTINE. The following is the reply of M. de Lamartine to some re marks upon the subscription recently made in this country to relieve him from his pecuniary embarrassments : " Sir,—l read your article in the French paper Univers. It is . difficult to have to reason with an echo, for echoes can not be held responsible for what they repeat; you have been made yourself involuntarily the echo of the animosity of my enemies in France. Your article may be summed up thus : " 1. A national subscription is a dishonourable contribu tion imposed upon a nation in favour of one of her citizens. " 2. M. de Lamartine is unworthy of such interest, be cause he was the author of the Revolution of ISIS. " 3. Lastly, it is useless to subscribe., either in France or in England, for a squanderer of fabulous fortunes inherited from his ancestors or acquired by the sale of his works, and thus to throw into the sieve of the Drinaides what the unli- I mited extravagance of M. Lamartine demands.' " Although you be but an echo, yet I consent to reason with you. What is a national subscription in reality? It is, you well know, neither alms nor a contribution, It is not alms, for a great honour is attached to it. It is not a contri bution, because the gift is optional. It is a free, spontane ous testimonial of interest which a nation bestows on one of her sons, whose undeserved reverses of fortane excite her sympathy, whose talents honour her, or whose devotedness appear worthy of remembrance. " It is but a mite, yeu may say ; yes, but that mite be comes a medal, when it falls from a nation's hands. " When a nation is called upon to come forward, as on this occasion, if it does not subscribe 41. r the lit ing, it sub scribes for a tomb, for a widow, for a child, for a funeral. The tardy subscription is then a token of srlf-reprcach, of remorse—an set of reparation fir its insensibility or its in gratitude. It subscribes to amid being accused by.posterity of killing her great men, like Jerusalem, and then sitnula tiug piety and tears on their ashes. " These are the characteristics of a national subscription ; it has never been reputed disgraceful but in my case. And why ? Because people change the meaning of words as they happen to be applied to men whom they wish to lower or to exalt, according to their love or to their hatred. Yet if this matter is disgraceful to me, how can you explain it being •gnly lisri zs e.s p .,tears? F p o e r rsoninl instance, u huo,w,,di,in te coulda nn es wh d o n n e o ss t D itself—Dupont de l'Eure—how could he accept the sub scription of his department to endow Lim with the estate of Rouge Perrier? How could M. Lafitte have accepted, be sides the royal acquisition of the Foret de Bretuil at the price of 6,000,000 f., the popular subscription of 1,000,000 f. to preserve for him his hotel in Paris ? How could the family of the illustrious General Foy accept 1,000,000 f., penny by penny, from the people? Finally, how could the Comte Chambord himself have accepted from the French nation the subscription destined to present him with the estate and castle of Chambord ? lie who was then the pre sumptive heir of the Tuileries, of Versailles, of Fontaine bleau, of a civil list of 30,000,000 f.; and of a throne! Su h names and such honourable examples should undeceive you as to the pretended ignominy of a national co-operation to liberate or to endow a citizen—or even a King! • " Shall I say what is ignominious in this affair ? It is to be discussed ; well, that disgrace I accept—l drink it like water. And why? because its bitterness is for me alone, it will be sweet to others. When sorrow is a sacrifice, it brings ite own rewards. _ _ • " de Lamartine is unworthy of an honorary sub scription, unworthy, as the ancients used to say, of water and salt, because he made the revolution of 1818?' Ito you know who are the people who say that ? The authors of the Revolution of 1830. I should like to know why those who made the Revolution of 1830 should reproach rue with having destroyed their revolutionary work by making ano ther revolution. But I do not accept unmerited honour; no, I did net plot, nor make, nor desire to make a revolu tion in 1848. What brought on the Revolution of 1848 was the Parliamentary coalition of 1840, the banquet agita tion of 1847, and the accusation of the Ministry. I combated the coalition; I refused to take part in the banquets; I turned away with disgust from the proposal of accusing the Minis try. No; history will say, and the Moniteur will prove, that I did not make the revolution. When the revolution was accomplished I made the Republic. The Republic re strained, legi'imated, moderated the revolution. This is the truth, and it is the glory of the Republic. It would be dastardly in mt not to acknowledge it, now that the Republic is in the dust, insulted by those whom she then shielded with her name and her protection. "Did I then, in'common with' others, render services in preserving order, public and private property, society, peace, and the security of citizens and nations? It is not for me to answer. All I can vouch for is, that I had the desire of serving all classes without exception by reconciling them to each o•her. I was not sparing of the sweat of my lirow, nor my responsibility, nor my blood, for those who now haggle over their hateful centimes. "Lastly, there are enemies who, under a hypocritical mask, and with the honeyed language of false friendship, go spreading about from house to house, from one newspaper to another, from Paris to Lodon, the most effective calum nies against my real friends at Marlon, in Paris, and in London ; they whisper literally what you repeat in your douhle-faced manifesto—' You are Lamartine's friends, so are we; and precisely because we are his friends we recom mend you to close your hand, your ears, and your heart to the appeal of his friends in France and in England. This man has squandered sums inherited from his ancestors or acquired by his labour. Do not throw into the sieve of the Danaides the sums which his unlimited extravagance de mands! 'What has not France given him? What has he not squandered sway ? Beware of supplying means fer his prodigious prodigality. Let him perish, let him sell at a Luittuus price, at rimed sales, till estate:, Las twatc—wortu much more than his debts, but which wilt be thus reduced to little or nothing; let his honour, his creditors, his tenants, his family perish with him. Drown him in 1838, in order to rescue him in 1860. That is real kindness, that is the real subscription ; it costs you nothing, and gives to indifference the appearance of friendship.' " You may think that I invent this language. No, sir, I do not invent—l repeat. A certain number of persons ho are deceived, and many deceivers, spread these insinuations as avowed truths. You, yourself, sir, credit them, since you repeat them in:your article. You even add that M. de Chateau briand—a man of far greater genius, and who was at least a man of honour (which implies that I am not)—M. de Cha teaubriand would have preferred submitting to the severest privations, rather than have debased himself to mendicancy; this implies that I am a mendicant, with Foy, Lafitte, Dupont de I'Eure, and others, and with Chateaubriand " I suppose you are ignorant of the fact that M. de Chateaukiand opened a subscription in 1818 to .sell at a fancy price by a lottery his estate and residence in the Varee aux Loups. Of this lottery only three tickets were taken, and, be it said to the honbur of that day, by three political enemies. You have perhaps forgotten that the. Restoration paid his debts twice, and that I have never allowed any Government to pay mine; you also forget that M. de Chateaubriand was four times Ambassador and once Minister, with salaries amounting to 300,000 f. per annum in his principal embassies, besides expenses paid at each mission to the amount of half as much again. You also forget that M. de Chateaubriand was named Peer of France by . the Re storation, and that with that title he received the pension of a Peer, which is an income in itself. Finally, you om it that Chateaulniand opened, very honourably, a subscript ion fur the purchase of his posthumous memoirs, price at the of 500,000 f., to pay his last debts, and make him an annuity of 20,000 f., of which 12,000 f. were to revert to his widow. Thus his country, by the hands of Royalty or of friendship, amply rewarded the great writer for his services, and the great man did not blush to receive that reward. .1 ou must give up the ill-chosen example of M. de Cha teaubriand i f you hone to crush me by the comparison with his stoicism. . and " F fr r o o l in n pridem ode s l t y can l repel accept all none w comparison poverty. Neither the Restoration, nor the Government of h July, nor the Republic have paid my debts or cast their th e with r.e o u h r i i s s n g e o f n t is l l i' millions into my fortune, and there are statesmen living who can testify that I have refused offers made to me. Leave me my debts, but leave me my character. I have served with out hire. "As to the pretended dillpidr'ion of my suprosei fortune, inherited from my farbers or acquired by my intel lectual labours'—and as to the ' unlimited extravagance' of my private life, I have only one word to say—come and see my home. When one has painfully consented to have one's life discussed publicly even as to its most donrs'ic details, one must throw open the doors which are usually closed on private life. I inhabit in Paris a small retired house in a court in an obscure quarter of the town, a house which one of those who censure me would think too humble for his steward or his porlee. 1 lead there the life of a lab mrer of the brain, who lives by his earnings, between his family and his trade. I there receive some tew friends, the constant and faithful attendants on bad fortune. I shorten.the evening conversation to lengthen the morrow. I gain upon sleep a few hours of study; I have given up from economy my horses, which. I loved as companions of my youth and of my travels ;• I have kept a few dogs, who repay by love a morsel of bread, and whose tender fidelity seems as a protest against the faithlessness of men. Such has been my life for these last ten years. Send spies to examine my extravagant awl unlimited prodigality.' My home will give the lie to the explorers of my luxury. " In the country I lead the same life in a more roomy house; a man of study by night, by day a peasant; well-to do, or, if you will, opulent patriarch, surrounded by a numerous class of honest labourers, who are as a second family, the care of whose comfort is confided to me—rich when I am rich, in years of abundance ; poor from my poverty, when crops fail in b a d seasons. Add to t hi s a f ew faithful servants, born, bred, and now growing old in my house, serving even wit hout wages when necessary—another adoptive finally which I can never d i scard unt i l t h e roo f which shrlters all falls on the m an d me. This i s my l uxury it is a luxury of the heart ; is it for the people to condemn me? " Whence, then, may you say, can these enormous debts have arisen, the amount of which startles and canfounds even the all-powerful affection of a nation ? " In the first place, sir, these debts are not so enormous by a million at lea , t as they are represented to be, in order to increase my guilt by iccreasing my distress. In the second, they are not the result of dilapidation nor of unlimited extravagance, of which you have seen the inanity. These debts spring from two causes —the first is, that the family estates which I inherited were burdened with legacies, to pay which I was obliged to mortgage the estates to the same large amount. I hove net added a farthing to their burden. I confess that I ought then to have sold my property. Filial piety misled me. I was wrcng in the eyes of good calculators in retaining, ameliorating, and adding to the lands, the fields, the vineyards of my fathers. "As for the second cause, it is not for rue to speak of it. When, alter my death, my administration may be e x a m i ne d, I maybe blamed with reason for having been led away by feeling, but my memory will not be insulted. Is there n ot a madness which has been called hol y; this folly of the hearr, I own, woull be culpable if it endangered the interests of my creditors, honest and lawful every one of tlelm. But I have always bees careful to keep, in lend or in literary pro perty, a pledge which, well sold, would be far more than equivalent to my debts; no risk is incurred by any one but myself. The only thing necessary is to find with time fair purchasers for my ema'es, to prevent them being cut up and sold for ro hing to a set of dealers in furrows, who, like vultures, scent a corpse beforehand in the midst of the ruins of a fortune. " If the subscription opened by my genero:zs friends at Mr.can, in Paris, and in London is filled up, even slowly and imperfectly, and if my literary labours continue to second their efforts, all may yet be well:, " If the subscription should. fail, -thanks to indifference and calumny, and if my friends reap odly a harvest of in sult for mg in g laud where they hoped to gAther Ark ing of the heart, then I will shake from my feet, not in anger, but in sorrow, the dust of my land and of my pater nal home, and say to you, Sir, and to those who have in spired you, ' Rejoice in peace at the success of your malig nity, breathe freely your native air in the land where you were bam and where you will die. Ino longer breathe the same air, be satisfied.' " LAMA RTI N E. "Paris, July 6, 1838." GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY. The following report on the management of the Grand Trunk Railway has been drawn up for the informa'ion of the Liverpool shareholders: On the opening of the spring trade of this year it came to the knowledge of some of the Liverpool shareholders that 3,800 tons of railway iron were going out to Hamilton. Shipowners were desirous of fixing at low rates to Quebec, rather titan their vessels should proceed in ballast. The attention of the London board was called to the high railway rates fixed in Canada by the general manager, at 32 , . 6 l. per ton ; but all the London board appeared to have authority to do was to lower theta 59. per ton, viz., to 275. 61. per ton. The letters of remonstrance on the subject were sent out to Canada, and the general manager, who is also chief engineer, reported that it was not worth taking at 275. 6(1., and, if engaged he must send it by water. The gradients on the Grand Trunk are reported to be very favourable, ruling about 1 in 160; the goods engines should therefore haul, on a 5 feet 6 inch guage, 300 tons. Hence the earnings per train mile would (at 275. 6 , 1. per ton) be 155., while in England Bs. is the highest obtained, and even that is not averaged. The new general manager, moreover, pleadee, as an excuse, that the iron would have to be forwarded in open waggons, for which there was no back freight, although the staple products exist in immense quantities, consisting of flour, provisions, ashes, wheat, lumber, firewood, &e. Tar paulins do not appear to be used. This extraordinary report necessarily led to an inquiry into the antecedents of the new general manager, and the efficiency of the plant, as well as the terminal accommoda tion at Quebec, the chief seaport of et.aatla. • The present general manager is by profession a civil en gineer, and, in addition to his duties of chief engineer, he has had delegated to him those also of general manager of a line of 900 miles—duties totally incompatible with each other. A report on the efficiency of the plant was asked for, viz., the power of the engines, and the weight and capacity of the goods waggons; also traffic retinas from each station. This information has been promised, and is weekly expected. At Qoebec no accommodation for shippin g in connection with the railway had been provided beyond a small wharf for the passenger ferry boat, at Point Levi, consequently this section of the line remains comparatively useless for merchandise. Further examination into the details of management led to the discovery of an agreement entered into with the Ocean Steam Company, which actually reversed the order of charging by the usual railway classification, taking measurement goods in winter from Portland at the rate of 123. Gd. per ton of4o cubic feet, while "weight" was charged at 20s. per ton of 2,240 lbs. This agreement also enter?, into terms for through rates during open navigation, purporting to be via Quebec, but in reality ignoring Quebec as the ocean terminus, and com mencing at Montreal, by carting measurement goods from the wharf to the Point Charles station, and charging from thence to Toronto, only 12s. Gd. on measurement goods, but keeping up 255. on dead weight—here again reversing the order of commercial usage. The steamers charge 603. f►r measurement goods, the value of which varies from ,tl5O to V. 90 per ton, requir ing. as is well known to all, an extra freight on railways, on account of bulk and extra waggons, as well as liability to damage; while common iron, of the value of £8 to £l2 per ton, does not require extra waggons, and is not liable to damage. The ocean freight of iron to Quebec varies from Es. to 155., and to Montreal from 15s. to 30s. pa. ton. The inquiry was then extended to the general rates to the public from Montreal to Toronto, and those, according to advertisement, were equal to 38s. fur first class, 325. Gd. for second class, and 275. 61. for third class, rates double those charged by river steamers, and of course prohibitory. In the classification of goods tLe following, among many incongruities, appear :- Ist Class.—Nuts, feathers, machinery, fars, atcl wrapping paper, are all charged alike. 2d Class.—Axes, cassis, brimstone, tea, printing paper, kc., are all charged alike. 31 Class.—Gas-pipes and manufactured tobacco are both charged alike. _ 4th Class.—Chalk, coffee, clay, rice, pig iron, and wool, are all charged alike. From the above it will be seen that common wrapping paper is charged higher that the expensive printing paper it covers, while nuts, feathers, and fare are classed with machinery. Such are the facts ascertained from doenmentary evidence, and from them the shareholders need scarcely he surprised at the results of the traffic, or the fixed expenditure esta blished, affording, as they do, sefficient evidence that a re organisation of the whole s)stern is required by a general manager practically conversant with the details of railway traffic and the commercial value of goods. It is suggested that no person shall be eligible fora seat at the board of directors who has any avocations which may be antagonistic to the interests of the company; such as being connected with contractore or proprietors of steam boats. rm T .. l2t .. a r wz i k flzyoorecitsutrrna traffic e s o e f nt ea f e ro h m st C at a i n on ad s a e , pa sh rz o t w o l y n , g a t n h d e all other necessarily intorm.. ven ,,, s ected with the programs of the works and the develops, _ It is also suggested that a CAligiftstErtemmie..-,.x.e, should be appointed, to confer the London directors from time to time, and assist in organising a sounder system of management than has hitherto prevailed: That this is a suggestion worthy of grave considera tion will be at once evident, on referring to the last kelt yearly statement of accounts, wherein the large expen diture of £7,772 is recorded for agencies for through booking, without any apparent result but a loss to the company, as already shown, for the advantage of the favoured parties, while no encouragement is given to the shipowners and merchants at large to work with the railway by according equal facilities to - 4til who offer train loads of goods at glebee and Portland. It will also be ob , erved that the enormous sum of L 88,366 appears as a balance due for outstanding freights, and a sum of £15,947 for damages caused by the explosion of the ferry steamboat at Longue!. These are the results of the management under civil engineers. It is not usual for bankers and merchants, who employ engineers and architects to construct works or buildings, to employ them In conducting their business ; and experience has conclusively proved that the deferria.; to the opinions of engineers and lawyers has brought railway property into disrepute. Tue secretaries to the board of directors in London and Montreal also should be duly qualified from pre vious servitude in the various traffic departments of a railway, capable of stating to the board at once bow many tons of iron the sp ings of a goods waggon are calculated to carry, and how many waggons would be re quired to carry a ton of feathers, hats, bonnets, millinery, and wool, &c., and who should be held liable for any act of omission or commission in the perfsrmance of their duties. It should net be forgotten that the Canadian Legislature has contributed no less than L:3,111,000 sterling to the rail way as deferred stock, and also granted a subsidy of E 50,000 per annum far a weekly line of steamers. These contribu tions towards benefiting the railway and the province ren ders it doubly incumbent on tile executive to use their ut most exertions to establish the most perfect system of ma nagement for the benefit of all corium - red. When the explanations from Canada are received, a meet ing of the shareholders will he convened to consider the same, with the view to appointing a committee to confer with the London direeters. The directors have expressed their willingness not only to receive, but to give the utmoet consideration to any sugges tions for the hater mane sere eat of the road; hut from the views generaily entertained by the public, it is esidetit that a sound policy and system can only be obtained by a change of officials. This propositi on , it is feared, witbe denounced, according to railway p rece d en t, as a personal attack on the the usual excuse for evading in officers of the company— quiry an getting rid of what are termed troublesome share holders. It will therefore be satisfactory to find that the directors of the Grand Trunk of Canada prove an exception to vie general rule, especially as the shareholders have every reason to be satisfied with and grateful for the great and suc cessful exertions of the director., in having prosecuted the works and sustained the credit of the Grand Trunk Company under circumstances of peculiar difficulty and discourage ment.

THE UNITED SI:ATES. SOUTH BERWICK, MAINE, JULY 23. In compliance with an invitation received from the trustees of the institution widely known as Ber wick Academy, I left New York a day or two since for a brief visit to this charming place, and find myself at this moment 300 miles from the eddying turbulence of the metropolis, enjoying the tranquil seclusion of the loveliest village in all New England. The peculiar nature of the institution I have been called upon to visit will render, I imagine, a brief account of its scope and purport not uninteresting to your readers. The systems of public instruction pursued in many of the different States have been so fully examined and reported upon by British, French, German, and Scandinavian writers, that some general idea of the subject may readily be obtained even by the inhabi tants of European countries—although, unfortu nately, most of the writers on American education dis play far more reliance in themselves and in bare sta tistics than patient investigation or critical experience but of the means of instruction accessible to those who demand a higher, yet equally inexpensive, grade of tuition than is afforded in the public schools, very little, if anything, is known, abroad. To meet the requirements of this large class there has arisen in the rural districts of the United States the Academy— art ‘.atnnttlannt - tatabliAhmenf regnlaily chartered by the Legislature of the State, but generally endowed or supported by private individuals, which stibserves two important ends. In the first place, it prepares students for the university, training them for from two to four years ix the studies prescribed by the collegiate formula; and, in the second place, it affords to youth, often of both sexes conjointly, a complete and marvellously cheap education, or an opportunity to study for as long a period as the pupil may be able to devote to scholastic pursuits. The academy, in a word, stands midway between the public and the private school, and it has become a regularly recognised element in American education. As such, and as a very favourable specimen of the whole, I will devote a few lines to Berwick Academy, with the design and operation of which I have been for several years familiar. The institution ranks third, I believe, in New England—the ancient and wealthy foundations at Exeter, New Hampshire, and Andover, Mass., alone taking precedence, and its fame is widely diffused throughout the Union. It dates from 1791, when some gentlemen of Maine (at that time a dependency of Massachusetts) obtained a Legislative grant enabling them to lay the founda- tions of an academy, which private enterprise and munificence have subsequently maintained and fos tered. To quote the language of an official docu cument before me, its object is to afford a " complete. education to young ladies ; to prepare, thoroughly, young men for entering college ; or to fit them for the duties of active business life." The comprehensive scope of such an institution is seen at once in the phraseology of this statement; and its wide expansion, while thoroughly characteristic of the nation, is, I cannot but think, a decided flaw—which it shares, however, with most of the foundations bearing a similar title. There may be found at Berwick Academy boys and girls of twelve and fourteen, with young men and young women of twenty to twenty-five—and I shall have more to say of the consequences ensuing upon the unrestrained intercourse between the sexes. The scholastic year is divided into four terms of ten weeks each, and for the regular course of studies, in cluding classics, mathematics, the French language, English branches, and the natural sciences, the fees are but five dollars per term, or four guineas Per- Inuuln• .e..nropeau iauguages, music, and drawing, can be studied at a trifling additional cost. For this wonderfully moderate sum a youth has the advantage of excellent teachers, and is permitted to compete for various prizes annually awarded, among which are scholarships—endowments which ensure to the meritorious recipient 100 doll. per annum during his stay at college. At the conclusion of each summer term a great examination and exhibi tion takes place, to which visitors from different parts of the Union are summoned, and it was upon this occasion that my presence was desired by the kindly and learned principal, Mr. Ichabod Goodwin, A.M. The attendance at Berwick Academy is exrtemely varied. It is tolerably equally divided between males and females, and the average age I should estimate at 16, but one finds upon the benches repre sentatives of every grade of society. The elegant young lady of " the first families " sits side by side with some poor girl who works three-quarters of the year in the neighbouring cotton mills, in order that the remainder may be devoted to intellectual im• provemcnt. A young, woman upon whose features the stiffening shadow of poverty is struggling with the ardent flush of awakened intelligence, has as neigh bour some thoughtless child of twelve; and in the male department the difference is still more marked. Although the majority of students are natives of New England, there are occasionally representa tives of other and more distant States, and during the principalship of the late distinguished and deeply lamented Dr. Gray (a native of Chelmsford, Essex), pupils were sent from the furthest South and West. A portion of the students are always preparing for college, aid this class forms the elite of the school ; another division confines their attention to the pric. tical details of an English education, being intended for the pursuits of a mercantile career; and a third department consists of young men in the neighbour hood—sons of farmers or tradesmen—who attend the academy irregularly, and pick up in the intervals of labour the elements of necessary knowledge. Some few, who are unable even to afford the trivial expense of tuition fees, perform in lieu thereof various useful offices, such as splitting wood, lighting fires, sweeping the rooms, &c., and the most determined and progressive scholars are usually found among these young men. Daniel We bster obtained in this manner his early education. The Hon. Eli Thayer, of Massachusetts, is another ex ample ; and some of your readers may possibly recollect the account I gave in your columns some six months since of that gentleman's struggles, suc cess, and energetic plans for the colonisation of Virginia and other equally uninhabited countries. For the instruction of all these applicants for know- lege there is at every academy a principal, a pre ceptress, or superintendent of the female department, and of course a staff of teachers,_varying with the number of scholars in attendance. This, then, is the plan of a New England academy, differing from that of a public school in the fact of its greater range of studies, its admission of scholars from any quarter, instead of from a strictly limited district, its lack of cotupulsion with regard to the studies to be pursued, and its reception of male, together with female, pupils. The public schools outside the large cities being unusually so deplorably bad, there is no choice for an aspiring youth but attendance at the academy, or a resort to some urban school ; and the academy, therefore, is generally well attended. As I have said, the instruc tion is usually of an excellent character, and decid edly so at Berwick ; but it must be borne in mind that it is of a-lower grade than would be looked for from a similar institution in England : as, according to the common saying, a graduate of an American is j ust sufficiently advanced in - study to matriculate at an English college : so the academicians of New England would , be found, on the average, considera bly behind. an equal number of British scholars of the same age and standing. Their acquirements would,pro 7 bably, be found more varied, but far less solid, and they would 1 behind the J3Nitieh ItioadArd is I matters f.if disciplin e ; e t a b ili n e n i t prearCCaililieydniwoorueldprriotfittahbele but the education th ey h ave f im t e he b y e h fo a t a int s l pe in n o t om at - i equal time in the public :schools, properly so called, outside the large cities. The chief defect in the aezdetny system is, T. am of opinion,the meeting of the sexes; and I am thoroughly conv;-1 . v.;: ;'. i t an amount of immorality, invisible and the teachers, is the inevitable resal:. I should therefore, regret the introduction of their system, . unaltered, into England, as was proposed a year or two since by a gentleman 'deeply interested in the cause of popular education, and who opened his views upon the subject ‘to the late Dr. Gray, lie pro posed, at the time, the establishment of a great academy in the North of England, from which he hoped to propagate the -;. I have heard nothing of the consummation of the pro ject. As these academies can be supported at an exceedingly low cost—an endowment of £2,000 or £3,000, and some 100 scholars annually, would suf fice for efficient maintenance—l should judge that the experiment in Enzland, without the peLnicious element I have indicated, might prove beneficial to the cause of education, which is at present so warmly espoused, and especially by the excellent rirst . Lord of the Admiralty ; and I trust that the result of my observations may induce some individual to loek into the matter. If I rightly understand the cn:ziaintk at present 7. is allege - et that the . i774ltile classes arc left IvithoLi, adequate means of instruc tion, as their children cannot attend the Government schools provided for the lower class, and are unable on account of the expense to enjoy the advantages of a private establishment. What then more advan tageous than a Well-conducted academy of the des ' cription I have brought forward ? It is precisely the " middle class school " that is demanded, and the majority of attendants, even in New England, are of precisely the rank in society which finds it so difficult now in Great Britain to meet with a suitable educational system. Glancing at the catalogue of Berwick Academy, I notice that, although there may be one or two individuals of wealthy parentage in the school, and a minority of students exceedingly necessitous, the great bulk of the scholars are children of farmers, tradesmen,:pro fessional men, and others who "are unable to com mand any great extent of means. The resident of South Berwick pays but 4 guineas annually, as I have said, for his tuition, and the students from a distance pay only from $2 to $3.50 (Bs. to 145.) weekly for board and lodging in the village. Th e experiment might, I think, be tried to advantage in England. I cannot close this letter without a few words con cerning one whom I have already mentioned—the late .Joseph Bowers Gray, 11.1.11.C.5. This noble Englishman, whose name is familiar to very many of your readers, was for some length of time Principal of Berwick Academy, which he raised by his won -derful genius to a level with the highest institution of learning in the land. Dr. Gray—a most skilful surgeon, a profound mathematician, by common con-:' sent the most thorough and eminent classical scholar America has ever possessed, an unsurpassed dicipli narian, and a writer seldom equalled in elegance as well as force—had resided for some eight yearn in the United States at the time of his prematuxe de cease. At the age of 37 he. assumed the principal ship at South Berwick, where he laboured with more than characteristic energy during the since of two years, until at ,length, in October, 1856, he suc cumbed to the influence 'of 29 years' unre mitting and almost unparalleled labour, and ex pired, in the beginning of November, amid the tears of an entire community. Such was the lady--a former pupil—insisted on leaving a sick bed to attend his funeral, and shortly followed him, in consequence of her exposure, to the grave. I have just stood beside his final resting-place in the secluded cemetery which he loved, and his many relatives may have some satisfaction in knowing that his tomb is not neglected. One of the works of Dr. Gray, a critical edition of the " Aias of Sophocles," which is used as a text-book at llarvaid College,was published some years ago by Chapman, in London. He was also the author ef some chemical works, of many contributions to periodical literature, and exercised controlling influence during the late Russian war through his powerful articles in the editorial columns of a leading Boston journal. He had also nearly completed at the time of his decease an improved grammar of the Greek language. The extraordi narily retiring nature of his disposition alone pre vented his assuming that position in the eye of the wor1:1 to which his emoluments and his erudition were a title. I should despair of conveying to your readers even so much as an adumbration of the wonderful beauty of this locality. From my window at Old Fields, the residence of the Principal, Mr. Goodwin, a prospect, which cannot be equalled out of the most lovely parts of Devon or Somersetshire, is obtained, and every charm thati hill and valley, rock and foliage, embowered dwellings and sloping meadows can lend, is here. From the eminence on which the academy is built, again, the eye can sweep from the faint and glimmering summit of Mount Washington, 150 miles away on the north-west, to the purple line of the New Hampshire hills in the southern distance, and from the silvery Newiche wannock river, in the valley of the Salmon Falls, to the dark and dense pine forests which extend, unbroken in their gloomy grandeur, almost to the -err shoreq Atlantic. Mr. Francis B. Hayes, the president of the Board of Trustees, pos sesses the original deed of transfer, executed more than 150 years ago, by which the large estates in possession of his family at South Berwick passed from the hands of the Indian owners of the soil. It is signed by the totem of the chief—a rude delinea tion of a warrior, with arms and limbs spread out. Quampegan was one of the earliest settlements of the Puritans in Maine, and the sloping banks of a lake near "Old Fields" are still known as the "Vineyard," from the fact of their having been planted with vines by the settlers, who were de ceived by the genial summer into the belief that the climate of- Southern Europe awaited them in the valley of the River -Abounding-In-Fish. The snows of November soon, however, undeceived them ; but the designation still remains to the scene of their hopeful attempt. FEARFUL YACuT ACCIDENT AT CLEVEDON.— THREE P.ERSONS DROWNED.—A very painful sensation Las been produced at Clevedon through the occurrence of an accident to a yacht, by which a gentleman, a coast guardsman, and a water man were drowned, sod others had a narrow escape. It would seem that Mr. Thomas Berry man, a young gentleman, whose fatuity resides at Wells, came down to Clevedou to spend a little time with Mr. Edward Lavington, wine merchant, who carried on business in partnership with his brother, at Clevedon and Bristol. It was proposed that they should go out for a sail, and a yacht was engaged, which was manned by a Waterman named Wad.., Alfred Thorne, a roast guare.sman, and a boatman named Joseph Harvey. They had got out about a mile into the bay when the order was given to put the boat upon another tack, and the helm was shifted with that object. Unfortunately, the cordage of the yacht being new, it did not work smoothly in the iron rings, and the principal sail not working, the boat cap sized. Two of the men, Thorne end Harvey, sunk immediately, and were supposed to have got unCer the boat, as they were not again seen. Mr. Berryman,.Nlr. Lavington and Wade swam about and caught bold of the oars, and the boat still keeping afloat contrived to get on to her, so as to bold on by her bottom. The sea kept washing over them, and in the course of an hour Mr. Lavington said to Wade—" I am very cold, and cannot hold on any longer. It is all over with me." A wave then came and washed him off; and he sank, in the presence of his companions, to rise no more. on after, Mr. Berryman wes washed off; but, making a desperate tifort, he swain once more to the disabled yacht, and regained his bold. The two survivors contrived to hold on, and just as they were becoming too exhausted to hold out much longer, a schooner descried them, and bore down and took them off'. Mr. Lavington, who was only 28 years old, was greatly respected in the town. He has left two young children and a wife, who is approaching confinement with her third. HORRIBLE DEATIL—On Tuesday evening,-a boy, aged three years, natned Dennis killdat t, son of Sarah Kill dart, widow, cf Lord-street, Oldham, was playing with some other children in Tommy-field, when be accidentally fell into a lime-pit, in which some lime _was being slaked, and though he was got out in a very short time, he was so severely burned that he died immediately after he Wag lifted Out of tilt boiling lime. CLEVEDON, FRIDAY MORNING. Yesterday afternoon the ceroner for the eastern division of SomeisetslAre commenced an inqttest at the Rockhouse Tavern on the holies of Elizabeth Townley Williams and William John Williams, two children aged respectively tbrrc and a half years and eight months, whose remains had been found under eircutestarces which leave ito room for doubt ing that they were both murdered by their mother Elize betli Williams, The herribie affair has created an extra ordinary sensation in the little town, which, it being the height of the watering season, is unusually full of fashion able resident., and the inquest room, and t ke approaches to it, were so densely thronged, that it was with great diffi culty those having business could find ingress and egress. At the commencement of the proceedings the coroner said he understood that the woman who was sup posed to have caused the deaths of the two children was in the custody of the police. Now, apart from the question of whether it was better that she should hear the statements to be made against her, he considered her pre sence desirable, in order for the witnesses to set and identify her, and he must therefore require the superintendent to send for her. This direction being acted upon the mother o ve r es tw b e rli 3 er :_ li si t x to the inquest r oom . Sh e i s about twenty-fire years of age, and appeared in ranch distress of mind. She kept her face covered with her bands through out the portion of the inquiry at which she was present. The jury having discharged the painful duty of viewing the bodies of the unhappy children, the following evidence was was taken : Mr. Edward Jones, superintendent of the Somersetshire county constabulary, deposed that he eves stationed at Long Ashton, a village about 10 miles from Clevedon, and close to Bristol. On Wednesday, the woman Elizabeth Williams, who stated herself to be the wife of William Henry Williams, of Churchill-place, St. George's, Gloucestershire, was brought to his offic e by P o li ce - cons t a bl e Francis, No. 133, who told him that she wished to make a statement as to a murder she had committed. He cautiosed her to be careful what she said, but upon her repeating that she wished to make her statement he took it down as follows:—" On Monday morning last my husband was ceol tome in consequence of ray not having paid some taxes. We had a few words, and I told him I would leave hiM, and be said I haft better go. I remained at home with my children that cloy, and my husband on hiareturn that night appemee7coof, and did not speak kind as usual. On the following morning I got up and prepared breakfast for my husband and two children, and we breakfaved together. He was then kind to me. On leaving the house to go to work he kissed t h e t wo c hild ren, and after lee was eonel dressed both the children and took them out wif e , ' a yiew to carry out rnythreat ofleaving him. Iwent to the Braetol and; Exeter Railway station in Bristol, and took tick 4s for Clevedon, and left with nay children by the ten minutes to three train, and arrived at Clevedon about four o'c'eOck that afternoon. As soon as I got to Clevedon :1 went to a shep near the railway, and ,bought a tare and some gingerbread for the children. I then weaked about Clevedon until eight or nine o'clock, ama then went into a beer-house rear the Bristol Hote.l, and had a glass of beer. I then v . a lk e d a b out the tows',,and round the beach till about 10 o'clock. I eat on a seat'facing the water, and my two children went to sleep iu rive arms, I welki' down the sands. I met the title with my two children in my arms. I walked some distance into 'the water, and then threw meeeelf down with the childeev. into the water, and the children still asleep in my arms.. I then got up, leav ing my two children in the water, a'id went and sat on the beach to see if my children waened aetiore. I waited some time but never saw them afterwards,/ Before I went. into the water I put my bonnet aud mantle on the sands at the edge of the water. I also wrote a letter to my husband, which I placed on the beach. I then . walked away, and had not eone far when I saw two hays standing with a light at a stable door near the spot. 1 heard the boys say, 'That woman is mad,' but ',did not speak t o te em. I walked on the road to Ashteei." As soon as witness received this state ment he re e le lo Clevedon arid found that the bodies of the two eliiici(reu had been washed in by the tide, and had been found by a man named William Somerton, a tiler and plas terer. The bonnet and mantle witness found, as they had been picked up'on the beach. By theelury—Wlien the prisoner came to me she was without bounet or mantle, anal , her clothes were saturated with mud astd water. Mr. Sotnerten deposed to having, at about half-past one o'clock, found the bodies on the beach. They were washed ashore at a point called "The Little Harp." A man named James, who was with him, picked up the woman's bonnet and mantle. Lyaend Williams, grandfather of the children, deposed to having on Tuesday met his daughter-in-law with them in Direple-street, Bristol. She looked sad, and, upon his asking her where she was going, said she was going for a `mile. She wished hint goodbye, and went in the direction of the railway. Millicent Salmon, the 'herr-house -ken per referred to by the prisoner, deposed t o her and, her two children having crone to his house on Tuesday evening, and lied a glass of beer. She gaVe her children sot:ne cakes, and appeared a fund mother. She left after drinking the beer. Some other - evidence was called, and Dr. Davies was examined, and proved that the deaths of the children had been caused by drowning. The prisoner declined saving anything excepting that she had paid the rate for which the man, she said, had put in an execution. The coroner having summed up, the jury returned in both elves a verdict of wilful murder against the mother, Eliza beth Williams, and the coroner at once issued Lis warrant for her committal. ALLEGED SWINDLING B. 1; ENGLISH JOCKEYS IS FRANCE. Three English trainers of racehorses well known on the 424tr1TN,,ARt1rnan..isenior. any/ ,isfentrat. junior. Imvo Laon, on the aF4e l 6l AMP:4Q. fl Lotteztiottaj, mary of the allegations made against them :—Boldrick, trainer to Mme. Lo ache de Pay, formed the project of getting into his own hands that lady's mare Valna; and, in order to obtain her cheaply, he made several jockeys prevent her from winninx in races, when she might have done. At Versailles, in July, 1837, iu particular, it was so evident thnt Valna m i g ht have won the elling Stakes if Her jockey, Abdale, had not prevented her, that there was a general outcry, and the stewards fined Abdale a large sum, and ordered that he should not be allowed to ride againfor a year. About that time it was well known that Valna was for sale, and M. Reiset, of the Jockey Club, offered 3,000 f. for her, but the offer was not accep'ed. M. Reiset subsequently proposed 4,000 f., but Boldrick, with some embarrassment, said that he had sold the mare that very morning for 4,004/f. ; he, however, would not say to whom. A sum of 4,000 f. was duly paid to Mme. Latache de Fay, and Valna was removed from her stables. M. Thieret, a posthorse master of Rheims, possesses a racing stud at a place called Eppes; and he, on the recom mendation of Ashman, junior, who was his trainer, had at about the time of the Versailles races of last year consented to purchase Valna for 4,000 f., and bad given Ashman I,loof. to pay on account, at the same time handing him a letter by which he authorised the seller to draw on hint (Tbierot) for the remaining 2,900 f. The mare was given up to Ashman, jon., and was conveyed by him to Eppes. At this epoch M. Thierot fell seriously ill, and remained so till December. The first thing he did on recovering was to visit his stud, and be was greatly surprised at not finding Valna iu the stable. To the questions he put, Ashman gave embarrassed answers, and at last said that Valna was at his father's, a trainer at Chantilly, and that M. Thierot was only one-fourth owner of her, the other three-fourths being held by other parties, in proof of which he remarked that M. Thierot had only paid 1,0001., the additional 100 f. having been absorbed in expensea, M. Thierot then applied to the elder Ashman at Chantilly, and that person declared that he was the sole proprietor of Value, and that he had not authorised and knew nothing of any sale of her to M. Tbierot. That gentleman then laid a complaint to the law authorities of &mils, neer Chantilly, and from the investigations made by them it appeared that, after 11.'1 hierot had, as he supposed, purchased her, Valna had run at Le Bin, Abbeville, Nantes, and U r n on, and had won 8,500 f., and th at not only had no account of her winnings but bbeing een g iven Enpe,alli i,,ao,t; hi pr m :c , Alcz b il I .lo r aT t s: e t eb h dt. a ,Bil t nar s gar l oi r cin e nue h ed a fs r ,r l lEoi n on f he :li even tu,s ataih se r rd t u iesi n paa tri i de n t i:eplert Yount-c: aos otui name, nnyae:co; nothing . more than one Baron, a shoeing smith of Mme.

After this t he youneer Ashman fled to England, taking with him a young girl of Eppes, hat she before long returned nod s , tat4d that he was dying of hunger in London.

Toe elder Ashman added that Boldrick had complained that though be (Boldrick) and Ashman, junior, were to share the winnings of Veins, after pay ing the expenses of her keep, Ashman, junior, had apppro printed nearly the whole of them, and that he (Ashman, senior) had accordingly accompanied Boldrick to Eppes to make his son pay, but had •nly got 1,500 f. from him. With this sum he said Boldrick was not satisfied, and bad accord ingly caused Value to be restored to Ckantilly. Boldrick, on his parr, could not deny that he and Ashman, junior, had possessed Valna in cannnon ; but lie energetically denied that when she was the property of Mine. Latache de Fay he had made her lose at Versailles, or elsewhere. The tribunal, after hearing all the circumstances, came to the conclusion that neither Boldrick nor Ashman, senior, bad been guilty of swindling, and discharged them. As to Ashman, junior, it condemned him by default to two years' imp isonment. in the course of the proceedings it was stated that Baron, the smith of Eppes, bad taken advantage of his knowledge that something wrong was being done about Valna to make him, Ashman, junior, marty his sister-in law, Sidonie Nottleet. It was also stated that Valna re cently was put up to auction, and purchased by Count do Lagrange for 7,400 f. • MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT BRIGHTON —A melancholy accident terminating in death, took place on the race course, on Tuesday evening, the night before the races. Two young men were out together for a ride on the Downq, and one them, Mr. James Flochton, stopping at the Old Ship Hotel while attempting to leap bis horse over he railings enchsing the course, was thrown cff and precipitated to the ground, his horse's feet having caught rite railing.
