" From the Savannah we hear, under the date hf 8 , 11 of klay, the following :—` We. leant by a gentleman who arrived here yestet day from the Ha vannah, that Admiral Popham had at rived there with three ships of 74 guns and two frigates; that he was engaged in concerting with the .Governor measures for the giving op of the island of Cuba, which, according to the general report, was ceded Eagitilld, auil, as we learn, must be delivered up to that Power within nine months. The gen tleman adds, that it wa.s the geneial opinion at the Havanna!), and that it was there considered as certain, that this cession would undoubtedly take place ; and this was coofirated also by pi i vale accounts from Jamaica, but that the iiihatn tants of the island were far from being satistiA with it, and seemed rather disposed to declare themselves independent."' The cession of Cuba to England seems to he more and more emit - limed.. Accounts trans Charleston of the 15th nay, say—" Thesuews which we have received here by way of Savannah, of the taking possession of Caba by England, continues to gain ground. Captain Clarkson, who has arrived here . in six days trout tie Ilavannah, confirms the re pot ts ;. he adds, that Admiral Popham. had sailed to America, leaving there sloops .4 war. At the time when Captain Clarkson sailed, the inhabi tants were fully cor.vinced of the tact, but were extremely dissatisfied, and had openly declared, that, rather that; sntftr the cession, they would take arms and assert their indepehdence." Accounts horn New York of 19th May confirm all the above particulars, atilt add, that they ex pected Commissioners, appointed by Great Bri tato, to receive the island, but that nil possible opposition from the iuhabitants might be reekoh ed upan. . Accounts from Spain (adds the Editor of the Hague Courant) assert, indeed, that the whole re port of the cession of Cuba is a mere report and fiction ; but- when we remember what was writ ten. about the cession of the Floridas, and what was afterwards found_ to be true, we cannot whol-, iy discre.dit the report, especially when we com pare the-sPove statements. • SHIP NEWS. t 4 EAC, JULY 23.—Arrived and sailed for the River, the whole of the outtvard-bonwl.

THE BAPFIST FREE-ScHOOL. The Cause of Morality and Religious Truth ate so intimately Connected with Education, 01 , 4 we feel much pleasure in giving insertion , 0 the following Report respecting THE BANISF FREE-SCHOOL. " On the 15th instant, the Anniversary of this Schbol was held at Canonbury House, Islioittow. After the Sitbscribers had dined together, to the untidier of about 120, the children were in:ro duced to he examined ; 9n d a gre.►t number of Ladies Caine to witness the iutrresti't►g scene, whet eby the long room was completely tilled and overflowing. Tice examination was conducted by the Master in the catechisms used in the school, in one of which (Mr. Paliner's,) the tinSwers are all given in the very words of Scripture, by which Means the 'children's minds are stored with the nips( important trutl►s of divine revelation. The rest ut the examination extended to the contents of the two first Books of the Old and New Testa ments, which, if perused throughout the Scrip tures, must form in the minds of the children it copious and valuable treasury of sacred knowledge. The answers were promptly and correctly given, to •an extent which excited the admiration of all present, and were closed by u poetical address front the head boy of the School. " After this the Rev. Mr. EDWARD , ' (who was in the Chair) elotptently addressed the Company in behalf of the School, awl of the system of 'wive'. sal education, connected with religious princi ples. • Ile endeavoured to impress upon the Meet ing the important consideration, that we are as well accountable for our influence as for our ta lems—that all have a sphere of influence, more or less extended; ti►at those ►►• ho can do but little individually toward such objects of benevolence. have the opportunity of urging the duty upon others; and that there is, in tact, no person who • is not able to contribute, in One way or other, to the great work of Christian benevolence ; that therefore to suffer the riing generation to remaitl in ignorance, without sonic eff.ar for their in struction, incurs a high and awful degree of re. snonsibility. Mr. E•lwards remarked, that he was twenty years old before lie saw a man that could not read, and then every body looked at him with suspicion, or with pity and contempt. Where he was brought up (in Scotland), so much was ignorance considered As a reproach, that when et► gitl was asked the question, " Can you read ?" she indignantly tehlietl, " Drt you think that I was born in England ?" This reproach Mr. E. hoped would be wiped away front us by the spread of Education among the Poor ; and it w►is im portant that they should receive it early, because the difficulty of attaining it greatly increased in. after life. • • "Rev. Mr, ELVEY adverted to the Origin of the- School, and to some encouraging prObta of its. wilily—Rev. Mr. CLARK of Chelsea mentioned the late amiable Mr. Austin (Mr. Elvey7s prede-. censor) as the Founder of the School ; and in fa vour of the importance of early instruction, ad verted. to the well known opinion of Dr. Ford, (late Ordinary of Newgate) that ignorance was the parent of crime. ." Mr. KEEN, observing a great number of Ladies present, strongly recommended the formation of a Ladies' Auxiliary Society in aid of the Institu- Lion, and Mr. Edwards offered his services to be their Secrecary. Rev. Mr. IIUTCk-lINGS also ad dressed the Ladies, ,commended them for bringing (heir clinchen with them, to train them up iLL habits of benevolence and phihinthropy ; ,and concluded his interesting speech by prOposing vote of thanks to The Chairman, which was car tied by acclamation, and the company separated, as we hope 7 --to practice what they. had beard." THE HARVEST. The harvest will commence next weeks. on the Essex roast, which is at least three weeks earlier than last year. _ _ The hay harvest in Cheshire is nearly finished ; the clops are exceedingly abundant. Wheat pro mises an excellent crop, and is in a very for waukt condttion. Oats and Barley look extremely well. Thto, there is the brightest prospect of plenty both man and Ircat. An ear of Oats w.s pulled on the 11th instant, near Limerick, which appealed so luxuriant as to induce a Gentleman to count the grains, which, amounted to the enormous number of 330. The Plymouth Telegraph says—" A more genial Peason than the present is not within the recol lection of our oldest inhabitants. The hay har vest, a suberabundant one, is nearly complet ed; the corn is well kernel and waits only for the sickle ; the orchards, ,except in a few par tial cases, teem with apples, and the whole country is a perfect garden, where each vegeta tive production vivs with each in the richest fer tility. The promise of pilchards is most auspi cious, and some very fine fish have been already •caught by the dr►tt nets, and disposed of in our urokets at 811. per dozen." 1 . 1,;! harvest will be very abundant this year iri all parts of . Spain. lu (;,,stile, great ►abundance is ruinous to tilt. tar n ►ers, tor want of the means of transport. 'l•he five Persian Students sent into this coun try for improvement, by their Prince, will embark in a few days, upon their return, after a residence of three years in England. One of them, Oos tude.Mulionied Ali, is united to an English Lady Ott talent in the arts, a Miss Dudley, who acco►u• panics her husband to Per.ia.
