HAMILTONIAN SYSTEM-APHORISMS OF HIPPOCRATES. As far as a light showy knowledge, of a lan guage ,is requisite, the Hamiltonian system will answer every purpose, but in the instances of thu dead languages—especially Latin and Greek, where a shrewd acquaintance with grammar is indispensable, (the colloquial spirit no longer ex isting, to facilitate the acquisition of their pecu liarities) it will be found, we fear, unsatisfactory When we say unsatisfactory, we merely meat. that the system is incomplete, laying too much stress on verbal, and far too little on grammati cal acquirements. A knowledge of words in itself is an inert mass, that serves only to encum ber the memory. It is the varnish, not the ma terial of information, and upon Mr. Hamilton's principle is rendered a preliminary instead of an after consideration. It 'is like recommend.. ing to a novice Fourcroy's Philosophy of Chemistry, prior to his elementary Treatise on that subject. While, however, we thus par tially underrate the Hamiltonian system, a sense of justice compels us to state, that compared with the old school methods of instructing youth through the medium of such unintelligible jargon as the Eton Latin or Greek Grammars, it is perfection itself. It is a quick, dashing, and far from toilsome road to 'knowledge. The track lies throughout over smooth ground ; so smooth that the tyro scarcely meets with a stumbling block. By means of Mr. Hamil ton's system a clever linguist will gain his ends with comparatively little difficulty ; but a dull boy will, we suspect, be posed. He will find his memory oppressed with a vast abund ance of verbiage, which, from want of an elemen tary knowledge, he will be totally unable to ap ply. The Grainmar, it is true, comes afterwards, but not, we fear, till much of the previous ac quirements is forgotten. We do not here profess to enter into any elaborate treatise on the Hamil tonian System. ,We merely give. the first im pression it has made on us ; a' deeper acquaint ance with its characteristics, may, perhaps, induce our recantation ; 'and, indeed, if but half of what we hear on the subject of its numer ous successes be correct, it merits a very respectful and elaborate analysis. The-little work which has suggested the present cursory hints is a lite ral translation of the maxims of Hippocrates, published by Mr. Underwood, mie of the most able and successful of the Hamiltonian school: it gives at one view a very faithful idea of the terse and somewhat crabbed Greek of the ori ginal ; and (provided that the student has a pre vious acquaintance with .the grammatical struc ture and- usages of the language) is a very ser viceable desideratum. But • then it is a sealed book to the novice—unless he have a master by his side.

BELTRAMI'S DISCOVERY OF THE SOURCES ; OF THE MItSISSIPPI. 2 Vols. London. 1825. Mr. Beltrami is the most polite traveller that ever yet discovered—or concluded that he had done so—the Sources of the Mississippi. In the midst of untrodden forests, beside cataracts, rocks, and rivers, alive only to the howl of wild beasts or the stunning roar of whirlwinds [ he consoles himself by finding objects that may remind him of his " dear Countess." The first glimpse of a sunny lake recalls the spot where • he first met her in Italy ; a hump of buffalo's flesh—a delicacy (if we may credit our author and Mr. Cooper) never to be mentioned without reverence—reminds him of some similar dainty shared with her near Naples ; in fact, his " dear Countess" is the real or imaginary Dulcinea to please whom this adventurous Quixote sets forth on the most extraordinary expeditions. His present volumes profess to describe the sources of that noble river, so serviceable to American commerce, the Mississippi, but are in reality a mere sketchy series of travels through Europe and the United States : the parts referring to his discovery bearing about as much proportion to the rest as a mouse bears to an elephant. The first volume is ex clusively devoted to Italy, France, and England ; in the course of which Mr. B. takes care to impress on our minds that he respects Napoleon, detests the Jesuits, and dislikes the French drama—. three opinions for which we are ready to accord him sincere praise. Of England, especially Lon don, he speaks in no very flattering terms ; finds out (what every lover of an Italian sky must do) that it is dull and foggy—its inhabitants proud, cold, and suspicious—its buildings, except in the instances of St. Paul's and Somerset House, uniformly beneath contempt. In this city, too, he makes his first discovery, namely, that Magna Charta was signed at Windsor ; when every coachman on the road, to say nothing of the passengers, could have told him that it was drawn up at Runnimede, a stupid look in g. little meadow near Staines. We hope Mr.' Beltrami will take the earliest oppor tunity of undeceiving his " dear Countess" on this momentous subject. After staying for some weeks in London our author quits it delightedly for Liverpool ; whence he embarks for Philadel phia, but finds, to his infinite mortification, that the vessel engaged for his voyage has just lost its cook. Scarcely by the aid of philosophy, and the prompt recollection of his "dear Countess," has he overcome this serious affliction, when he finds himself pushed neck and heels out of bed by an immense wave—which, during the night, has contrived to effect au unceremonious entrance into his cabin. This visitation is succeeded by a tremendous storm which, however, the sturdy little vessel rides out, and finally ar rives, after a three months' buffeting, safe, but with her ribs broken, at Philadelphia. From this city our author starts forth—a giant refreshed—on a tour through the United States, to which s t a l e su bj ec t, h e imparts little or no no vel information, except that Kentucky is the Paradise of America—that its men are re markably coarse—and its women as remarka bly beautif u l. Of Pittsburgh, a ve r y r i s i ng town, and one that will, at no great l a p se o f t i me , rival, if not surpass Washington, lie observes, that some years since its inhabitants were singu larly numerous, but that now, thanks to the phy sicians, they are rapidly thinning ; in fact, the greater part of its population is subterranean —underground. From Pittsburgh, our author ascends the Mississippi in a steam-boat—and describes at great length, the varieties of wood and water, forest, cataract, and prairie, as he - passed them successively in his voyage. Of the Sioux Indians . he gives also some entertaining, but Foreign Office, Jan. 10. The King has been graciously pleased to appoint James • , e xt„.4 4 ~..??.., ''' / 4•Z" - ; , .... 5.

Of the exact truth of this discovery--(of how much is correct—and how much is due to fancy) we of course— having never been : further North than Hamp stead—cannot pretend to judge. We may, how ever, state, that in more than one instance, we have found Mr. Behramni incorrect ; for instance, where he roundly asserts that Winnipeg, or the Lake of the Woods, is only fifty miles round ; whereas Franklin (a very scrupulous traveller) makes it at least two hundred in circumference. Taking this somewhat lax specimen of his statements as a very fair sample of the rat, we should be inclined to conclude: that Mr. Bel , trami had no more discovered the sources of the Mississippi than he had 'discovered the longi tude. In the absence, however, of more explicit information, we will lean, like good Christians, to the charitable side, and take for granted that he has really been successful. With respect to his book generally, it is a light desultory series of sketches ; which just touch on the surface of men and manners, but nevergo deep in point either of remark or description. His account of the wandering tribes of Indians, though somewhat lengthy, is sadly destitute of novelty ; so much so, that we have been puzzled for even a tolerable extract. The following—with which we conclude—is perhaps among the most amusing in the book. It describes an old settler, who, at a very advanced age, has lived to wit ness the complete success of the colony which he hiniself was the first to plant : " General Putnam is the patriarch of the colony of Ma rietta. He is a venerable old man, and has a claim to ho nourable mention in the interesting, and hitherto entirely neglected history of these western parts of the United States. An humble individual like myself can only pay him the tribute of a few words, expressive of the respect whir which he filled me. He has watched the growth of this country from the time when no sounds were heard but the roaring of wild beasts, the croaking of the raven, or the death-song of the savages 4,ainst whom he fought. He has seen the trees of these forests fall under the axe of the cultivator, and their places supplied by the alternate suc cession of log-houses, then of cottages, and lastly of the beautiful houses which now adorn the surrounding scenery. He has beheld the whale country inundated by an extraor dinary rise of the 07.i0 and the Muskingum ; all the cattle, and many men, drowned ; and watched the desola tion, disease, and death, consequent upon such an event. He has witnessed all the honors of the vindictive incursions of the savages, and seen the exhaustless fertility and na tural advantages of the soil triumph over the ravages of fire and sword. In this place he witnessed the construc tion of the first steam-boat that traversed these vast regions, and from this spot he himself has sent vessels to the Gub of Mexico, a distance of more than 2,000 miles. He has survived all the vicissitudes of an infant colony ; and in this peaceful seclusion he awaits the termination of that mortal career in which be has distinguished himself as one of the great men of the revolution, and as the mot skilful and enterprising of settlers. He is simple and unostentatious in his manners; he has acted upon Cato's precept_- Helios eat ease pant videri." SURREY SESSIONS.-JANUARY 18. RIGHT OF CONSTABLES TO ATTEND AT THE SESSIONS. At the sitting of the Court this day, Mr. Will cock, as counsel on behalf of Mr. Robert William Dickenson, rose to show cause against a levy that had been made on his client for his non-attendance as a constable on the last. adjourned sessions. The learned counsel prefaced, by saying that the jurisdic tion of a court of petty sessions to enforce the . at tendance of parish constables to act iu their official capacity out of the parish wherein they had been sworn to discharge their respective duties, had never been argued ; and should the Court this day con tinue in their opinion of their posssessing that power, he respectfully intimated that the case would, by his client, be carried into the Court of King's Bench. The learned counsel went on at very considerable length, and with great confidence as to his opinion as to the illegality of fining his client for a derelic tion of duty in not attending the sessions out of his precinct, until stopped by the learned Chairman' (Mr. Sergeant ScalvEN), who observed, that the question had occupied the Court's most serious at tention, and they decidedly were of opinion that they had the power that had been put in force against Mr. Dickenson. It had been a practice in force upwards of 100 years, and that the Court would not now alter their opinion, and indeed, their jurisdiction ought not to be disputed. However, the ;earned Counsel might proceed with his argu ment, and if it lasted for a week the Court was bound to hear it ; but no argun;ent whatever could induce the Court to act contrary to their former opinion. He (the Chairman) merely threw these remarks out to save the labour of the learned gen tleman, and the time of the Court. Mr. Wincocti did flatter himself that from the different authorities he should produce, the opinion of the Coma would be in his favour; however, after what had dropped from the learned Chairman, he would not press the case further, but carry it into a higher Court. The CHAIRMAN said, that under all the circum stances of the apparent disrespect to the Court, by the repeated non-attendance .of M r . Di c k enson i e his official capacity -of co ns t a bl e , an d hi s cont i nue d disregard to their autho r ity, th e C ourt wou ld l evy a fine of 51 upon hi m , an d see t h at t h at fi ne was l ega ll y enforced.

His remains were interred in the church-yard of Kiltubrids, on Saturday.—Roscommon Gazette. JAMAICA PAPERS. (From the Supplement to the Royal Gazette, Nov. mod. ), Despatch from the Right Hon.

Among the various subjects whith this act pros sents for consideration, none is more impertant iri itself, nor more interesting to every class of society iu this kingdom, than the regulations on sub ject of religious instruction. The 83d and the two' following clauses must be considered as an invasion' of that toleration to which all his Majesty's sub jects, whatever may be their civil condition, are alike entitled. The prohibitions of persons in a state of slavery assuming the office of religious teachers might seem a very mild restraint, or rather a fit precaution against indecorous proceedings ; but, amongst some of the religious bodies who employ missionaries in Jamaica, the, practice of mutual in struction,is stated to be an established part of their discipline. So ling as the practice is carried on in an inoffensive anti peaceable manner, the distress pro duced by the prevention of .it 'will - be compensated by,no public advantage. , . • The prohibitibn of oieetings-forfreligidtis Warship between sun s set and snn-rise will, in man,- eases; operate as a total prohibition, and will be felt xi'itb peculiar severity by domestic. slaves inhabiting large towns, whose ordinary, engagements on Sunday will not afford leisgre for attendance on public worship before the evenjog.. It is impossible to: pass over without remark the invidious distinction which is made not only between Protestant Dissenters and Roman Catholics, but even between Protestant Dis senters and Jews. I have, indeed, no reason td sup pose that the Jewish teachers have made any cell , vcrts to their religion among the slaves, and pro bably, therefore, the distinction in their favour is merely nominal: still it is , a preference, which, in principle, ought not to be given by the legisNtut of a Christian country. The penalties denounced upon persons eollettin contributions from slaves for pmposes charity or religion, cannot but be felt, both by the teachers and by their followers, as humiliating and unjust. Such a law would affix an unmerited stig►r.a on the religous instructor ; and it prevents' the slave from obey►ng a positive precept of the !hristian re ligion, which he believes to be obligatory on him and which is not inconsistent xvith the duties he ewes to his master. The prohibition is, tberefot'e,i a gratuitous aggravation of the evils of his condition.. It may be doubtful whether the restriction upon private meetings among the slaves, without the knowledge of the owner, was intentionally pointed at the meetings for religious worship. No objection, of course, could exist to requiring that-notice should he given to the owner or manager whenever the slaves attended any such meetings; but, on the other hand, due security should be taken that the owner's authority is not improperly exerted to pre vent the attendance of the slaves.. I cannot too distinctly impress upon you, that it t i y l i l n o i l t p r n o a d s n e i y r u s g ta class l a id y o r f e thatsht his Majesty'; a a j o r e i t t io:t t is the settled purpose of his Majesty's Government to sanction no colonial law which needlessly infringe,: clause be inserted for suspending. istolotariiita)tjtiseih.secee:isri unlesste; l i ig to tt i l o adn u y s ay, o l t i t: b ii e llv its operation until his Majesty's pleasure shall be known. Having thus adverted to this most important branch of the general subject, I proceed to inquire how far the suggestions contained in Lord Bathurst'_i despatch of the 1 Ith of May, 1826, have been fol lowed in the act under consideration. The Council of Protection, established undet the 33d clause of this act, cannot be considered as an effectual substitute for the office of a distinct and in dependent Protector. The council in each parish will consist of those individuals, over whom the Pro tector was to exercise Ins superintendence. Their duties are limited to the simple case of extreme bodily injury, and are to be discharged only " if they think proper." The periodical returns required destroy .. the sense from the protector upon oath are not to be made by the Council of Protection, nor are they even bound , to keep a journal of their proceedings. No provi sion of the marke'ts sion is made for executing the duties of the ofh . ce m different parts of the colony upon fixed and uniform principles, and the number of persons to be united It is, h owever, impossible to in this trust is such as entirely to . violation . of the law of personal and individual responsibility. sanctionprevail ing i,i every this s oh t e e r n c at h ic ristian country.

Neither is it clear t hat an owner, procuring his slaves to work on Sun ! day .by persuasion, or by any other means than those of direct compulsion, would violate the law. I do not perceive that provision is made for those cases of unavoidable necessity which would create an ex ception to the general rule. crime andthe infliction of the Punishments inflicted by the domestic authority sub jectof a report to any public °thee'', nor does the o t) f r t e h s s e ed owner nr7ruviaried. shouldtb. e elapse a made se rho b ew,eeni t a h v e v c re o q in u m ire iss t i h o a n t o a f ri t y he punishment. The presence of free witnesses at the infliction of punishments is not declared necessary, nor would the law be broke n , w h atever m i g h t b e the severity of the punishments, if it were inflicted by any other method than that of whipping or im prisonment. The use of the whip in the field is not forbidden. Women are not exempted from punish ment by flogging. Nor is any p resum ption of guilt to arise, if the slave shall make a " probable,.parti cular, and consistent" charge against his owner, confirmed by the exhibition of his person, bearing the marks of recent and illegal punishment. In all these respects the provisions of this Act fall :loft of the recommendations of his Majesty's 'son Of ar e I T * age 1,4b6
