NEWFOUNDLAND SCHOOLS. • Yesterday the first Annual Meeting of the Friends and Supporters of Education of Youth in the Colony of Newfoundland, by the establishment of schools there, was held at the London Coffee-house, on Ludgate-hill; Sir H. brouil tart., in the Chair. , _ _ The Meeting consisted of about 20 or 30 L a di es , an d some half a dozen Gentlemen, besides the Committee. The Cum RxAN, after gpologizing for his incompetency, di rected the Secretary to read the report, which began by congra tulating the Society on the support which it derived from various quarters. It then went into a history of the state of the Colony since its discovery by Cabot, in the reign of Henry VII. It than showed that there were about sixteen schools on the island, or about one to 1,800 souls. It was to remedy this great defect that this Society had been established. The whole amount of the Rinds of the Socieq during the last year, including the Go. velment great of 5001., was 1,7001., and the expenditure was 1,1001., leaving en inadequate surplus. Government had also granted land to the Society for building schools, and also free passage* in ships of war, or transports, to Schoolmasters and .Schoolmistresses. Besides this, Government had given 5001. towards a new school, and 1001. per annum to pay a School. master. W. H. TRANT, Esq., moved a resolution that this was one of the most important of our Colonies. It was, he, said, pecu liarly fitted for raising a hardy and enterprising set of men for our navy. Its population was about 10,000, and the ships ern •ployed in its trade were more than 1,000. These considerations would chew the value to be derived by extending the blessings of education to that colony. Wu. JR:tier r, Esq., in seconding the motion, directed their attention to the importance of giving children such religious 'and moral education as would make them good subjects to the State, and worthy members of our religious community. The resolution was carried unanimously. The Key. H. BUDD moved the second resolution. This was the oldest of our Colonies, and while it had mainly contri buted to our own' national 'and maritime superiority, yet had it derived but little advantage from the mother country.— The lives of the Newfoundlandmen were of an amphibious character, about six months being spent at sea, and th e other on land ; and to th a t they might have attributed, until 'now, the slow progress of education and moral improve ment in the Colony. It was a happy thing, however, that the Government of the island had been taken out of the hands of naval administration, and given to a Civil Government and Council. The Satiety's schools were opened, as tar as possible, on Dr. Bell's systeni ; but where most of the children were thetas of Irish Catholics, it would have been most absurd to have taught the Church of England Catechism. Twice a week, however, the Catechism, was taught to the children of Church of England parents, if required. He was sure that true Chris tian. benevolence would never cease to do good to mankind as long as there was a ny to b e d one. The whole soil of humanity had surely not yet been irrigated by the streams of the living waters of instruction. It could not be fairly considered as in. trusive in that Society to enter, with others, into the wide field of universal charity and benevolence towards all mankind. — This it was that gat: England so much influence and so vast a superiority over the nations of the earth. It was thus that she dispensed to every quarteraf the globe the blessings which /lea ven had so lavishly bestowed on herself. Joule BLACEZ `sq., seconded the resolution.—As Eng land was making the greatest exertions to extend the blessings of truth and knowledge to all pans of the world, surely New foundland ought not to he left out or forgotten.—Carried una nimously. The Her. JOHN %VEST moved the third resolution, that, owing to the defect in the number of schools in Newfoundland, means should be taken to extend religious and moral intruction in that colony. Mr. S. Wrier (one of the respectable Society of Friends) seconded the motion, because it contributed to extend the great system of moral and religious improvement, which tended to man's happiness both here and hereafter. C. Itoaisso.ee, Esq., moved the next resolution. He had been himself some tune in Newfoundland, and could speak to the absolute necessity of doing those things for that Co lony which were the objects of this Society. It was strange that the state of this valuable and hitherto much neglected colony had been, until lately, almost unknown in this country ; but now Government was engaged in conferring ample benehts on it, and these would run hand in hand with the objects of this Society. He had not thought that there were so nanny as 16 schools in the island ; but this he knew, that they were not to be called schools; they were more places for the elsemblage of children to receive the sle meats of education, but no religious or moral instructi o n t e L IT given to them.' The exertions of the Society, would bring about a reconciliation with theintrab'itiiientalolttehe, aborigines) of the island, and teach them the truths of the tdospel.,. CODINER, Esq., the founder of the Society, seconded the Resolution, and detailed the attention and kindness of Go vertyment towards the Society. PERCLYAL WHITE, Esq., in moving the sth Resolution, could never think that they had too many tnortl and religious societies in this country. Several other Resolutions were put, and unanimously agreed to ; and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the Meet ing We . We regret extremely the thin attendance on a meeting whose objects are so highly important. Mr. HART applied for leave to alter the tide of a calm which had been erroneously set down in the paper. His client was concerned for two du:at:kat cases, and instead of Ebera and another, had written down C,onst. v. Harris, the latter cue running more in his head, from big having been. more actively concerned in it hitherto. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave liberty to correct the entry in the list. With respect to the list itself, he felt himself coat palled to deviate from his own order concerning it fora time, on account of the absence of the Vice-Chancellor. He regret ted to say, that the state of his Honour's health was such as rendered it very unlikely that he would appear in Court again for the season. His Lordship proposed to adopt some other mode fur Cariying on the business during his Honour's indis position, Probably he might prevail upon the Master of the Rolls 'to sit in the Vice-Court during the day. R 'ft HARBOUR. The CounT was occupied the greater part of the day with an argument, conducted by Counsel from both bars, fur and against the verdict which had been pronounced upon the nuisance, arising from the great dike which at present prevents the flux and reflux of the sea, to the public annoyance and injury. —Further hearing to-morrow. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JuLT 13. The greater part of the causes tried at the Niri Prix: Sittings of to-day were undefended, and none of them were of any pub lic interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 13. Before the Lord Chief Jurtier BEST and a Special Jury. SOADISS AND (mums L. WATTS. This was an action of trout brought by the plaintiffs as the assignees of T. W. Baker, a bankrupt, lately carrying en the business of a tallow-chandler in Foley-street, Alaryl e b one , to recover the stock in trade and household furniture of the bank rupt, of which it was alleged the defendant had wrongly taken possession, under the following circumstances : —The defendant held a warrant of Attorney from the bankrupt, for the purpose of securing the payment of a certain sum of money, due to himself and the bankrupt's mother, from the bankrupt. 'He entered up judgment upon this instrument, and placed a writ of execution in the hands of the Sheriff, who in coma:gee:ice made a levy on the goods of the bankrupt. The defendant afterwards took a bill of sale from the Sheriff, which the plaintiffs contended was colourably given to him by the bank rupt for the purpose of defrauding the other creditors. The plaintiffs called several witnesses from the Excise-office, and also several inhabitants of the neighbourhood, to prove that no visible change had taken place in the property of the bank. rupt, after the making out of the bill of sale ; and the defendant produced others to show that immediately after the execution was sent into the premises, the screws of the bankrupt had been discharged, and taken into the service of the defendant, and had afterwards carried on the business in his behalf. The LOAD C HIEF J U STICE left it to the Jury to say whe ther they thought t h e trans f er o f t h e Property from the b a nk. rupt to the defendant was a bona fide transaction, or only a' colourable one : if they considered it a bow fide transaction, they would find a verdict for the defendant ; and it not, they would find a verdict for the plainuffa. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs —Don ages 450/., being the value of the bankrupt's furniture and stock in trade. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, JULY 13. TEE A.O IN C 0 U RT It will be remembered that this was an action for &twee by the cook of a private East India trader, against the master of that vessel, for acts of cruelty and oppression, particularly for a flogging, &c., inflicted on the complainant. Lord STOWXLI. said, this Was a complaint„brOught by John Thompson, a man o f co l our an d , townie', who was hired upon the 12th et April, .1822, OA a, return v9imito the Nast Indies; as ?its ` stated; In the 4priettg oreiuttiey cook on bOard the Agincourt,—that is, as cook to thet , depert fluent of the vessel In which the captain, seal the passeng ers usually messed together. This man complained of. several acts of oppression - and violence committed upon him in the course of that voyage; and among others, of the oppressive act of being dismissed Irani his office of couk, and turned before the tnast as a common mariner. The Captain, in his defensive plea, had set forth that Thompson was in fact hired both as cook and as mariner.—(The Learned Judge, after entering at sortie length into this part of the case, decided that it was left in a very am biguous and doubtful state ; for though the Captain's plea . was borne out upon the face of the snip's articles, it was to be ob served that Thompson was only a marksman ; that he could not sign his name ; and that lie swore positively that the are titles to which he subscribed his mark were, in truth, never read over to him.)—lt appeared that Thompson was hired and taken on board the slip at Madras, about the month of April, 1823 ; and that, in the July following, he suf fered the acts of violence complained of, in the way of punishment. It was not to be doubted that the masters of te glish merchant vessels had the power of correcting the different mariners who sailed under them. But as that was matter to be determined by 'the law of England, the Court would refer to no foreign authorities on the subject. How far, or to what tie. gree, one subject of the realm might inflict corporal punish ment upon another, was a question to be adjudged solely upon the principles of English law. In the only law to which the Court could refer, it regretted, that so far as it knew there was no clause containing any statuory regulation respecting the merchant-service. As the statute which regarded that service contained' no such regulation, the matter must be considered upon such principles as had governed the decisions of mouton law courts on the subject. By those decisions it had been re peatedly held, that, allowing for the difference of years and judgment, the master of a ship had a power of correction over his mariners, analogous to that of a master in any trade over his apprentices. The general rule .laid down, when these subjects had' come under diecussion in other .couree, was, that the punishment was always to be administered with moderation. As a consequence of the principles on which former decisions had proceeded, it would seem to follow , necessarily that the party accused should always first be heard in his own defence. This, indeed, was an indisp e nsable rule of universal justice, and th observed in the present as in every other case. After adverting to the Cases where a more sudden dispensation of justice was called for—as where acts of outrage were of so sudden and violent a cherecter as to ren der themselves perfectly notorious to all on board, or in cases of mutiny—circumstances that, while they in some degree oh , viated the necessity of investigation, made the delays of such a process dangerous also—his Lordship went on to show that in the present instance there was nothing to excuse a depute cure from the rule. And then the Court proceeded to recapi tulate the parts of this case; the neglect and misconduct of Burgess, under-cook to Thompson, in proceeding to wash the rice intended for the captain anti paisengers' breakfast, in water which had been polluted by scouring out a bucket that had been used by the children on board the ship—the re munstriinces of Thompson—the opprobrious reply of Burgess —the fight between them—Burgess's complaint to the cap. tairi, and Thompson's flogging in consequence, by order of the captain, who had never thought proper to Institute a single Inquiry into the subject, and would riot hear a single ' word that Thompson had to offer in his defence, Under the effects of that flogging, Thompson was confined to the curidy for several days. His Lordship, after analyzing the contend. irg evidence in the cause, and expressing his extreme dissatis faction with the conduct of the captain, pronounced the charges , adduced by him against Thompson to he disproved. It was endeavoured to be shown that Thompson, the head-cook, was of a violent and passionate temper ; but the kitchen. was pro verbially famous for exciting angry temperaments. Sonic com plaints were alleged against his puddings; but the utmost that was proved appeared to be, that occasionally his dough did not rise sufficientlyavisitation with which the best regulated fa- milies on shote were sometimes afilleted.—(A laugh.)—While the concurrent testimony of tbe.passengers went to show that Thompson was remarkable for the general good -nature and attention he manifested, the same evidence proved against the captain repeated acts of the most unbridled passion, 'tind expressions of the most vulgar abuse, of which his conduct to Colonel Pereira (one of his passenger) was a most ilia gracefulapecitreeti. Upon the whole of thesase, the Court de creed he Thompeon his costs, and 104.11. damages. SKETCH OF MILESIAN CHARACTF.II, &c. Mtt. EDITOR—The change (corn' war to peace, though it has deprived our farmers of their hunters, and their daughters of their piano-fortes and Italian music -masters, is productive of one manifest advantage--the Constitutional reform in the interior of th e S tate itself—the Repeal of useless, pernicious or obsolete and inclement laws—commercial renovation and abolition of the profound systems of commerce of our forefathers— internal economies connected with the modern wonders of locomotion, whether by canals, by steam, by land, or by coast. Among these roost necessary innovations we tnay reckon the vast portion of attention which the British. Senate,. the , .taiitational Represen tation of the whole &jai Empire, has imposed OD subjects connected with Ireland, that ill governed, barbarous, neglected, and vexed Isle of the Atlantic, to which Shakspeare's " Bor. moothes" might be said to assume the tranquillity of a fish-pond. The great advantage which a free Government possesses over a despotism is the perfect inter change of sentiment and opinion, which the silence, the uniform workmanship of a despotism prevents—the " Audi ailerans partem" is the noblest privilege of those who live in a free and mixed ►nonarchy.. Sir William Jones had a Polish Baron, a Count Potocci, as a visitor, while the learned Philologist was canvassing for a Welsh Shire or Borough, the Foreigner had to pass the alkuholic ordeal of election, drunken ness and beef-eating festivity of John Bull, through the entire southern width of the Island ; his first observation was—.." Sir William, I have found you in Merioneth (or elsewhere) at last ; but pray explain to me why the English, whom we picture to us as a grave reflecting nation, are at this moment positively all drunk." " Dear Po tocci, you take us at a moment of weakness, but though you see the dirty farrago in its foulest collieries, yet from this source springs a harmony in our State not less symphonious alai] the flute of the Divine Aristogyton itself." s All orders of this noble fabric of collected isdom ctsotribute to fill their place in the British Senate• ; and no subject can be stated which dues not affect large masses of our community, and which does not produce that most valuable inter change of thought, that vivacity of description, which forms the life, soul, and energy of Eug• 1:m1Tc:otioseII. Ninety days, or rather nights, were devoted last Session to 'Nlilesian legislation and acneliora• tion ; it is not in a month - me shall derive the vast advantages which are about to be imparted from this terseness of I discussion,--from this sifting of Irish statisticsi political, ecclesiastical, and. cuokunarcial, 94tr4firnktora in these day are net, w posing . ....as , ol,4Starned, and exuberant Ednitind OUrke Oiey proceed in Medial res,, or they are coughed out of countenance, and out of hearing, like Mr. Assistant Surgeon Hume, of Commissariat notoriety, as well as artic depth of calculation and powers of Cocker. I will take the hint of the modern Senator, who claims the attention of the House, has►en to important consequence, and places prefatic iuuendo in abeyance. • Nothing can be more instructive to the cosmo politan observer of Europe, than the decided difference in character and usoral rectitude of the Euglish and Irish nations; .it is true Physical idiernensis is often modified, if not changed alto» gether, by artiticiel means.- 7 these are education of the people, dissemination of property among the bumbler orders of life, moral restraint,•re.; ligious associations, connected with the irn provernent derived from the operation of this admirable band in civil 'society ; there will' still • be, however, .a decided difference, perhaps an undeniable. aboriginal one between the inhabi tants of the sister island, an d even th e i r nearer kinsman the Caledonian, who, we Irish, boast to have first shipped with Ossian to Hebredia - n Isles, or the larger continuity of olil Aibyn its e lf. Let us mark our first fine shades of character in the attempt of a portrait of un English and Irish Gentleman.—The 'English Patrician is a proud, honest, high-minded mart, publi c siiitited, - juSt in, dealings, cordial to his inferiors, and regarded, in the primary ~ duties of a citizen in that noblest occupation . ; 'the rural diisemination of the rudi- Mental or . eietrientery part •of .that law and the usages ,of . that Constitution, which form the ad of the world ; - he is the second Stepto the Throne of Justice ; the first .of Which is filled' by his constables, bailiffs, and other humbler as sistantr.—trot unftequently: oracles, of depth of head end soundness of .judgmeut.- The Seneschal of the 'Manor is the Chi ef Justice of his own territeries, in letter, meaning, intent, and .value. This .said patrician is cold, phlegmatic, repulsive, he avoidrestrangers, a n d hi s good opi nionand slow a pp roac h es ; 14tiined.by cantiotis he knows lie is .known, his actions canvassed, and all libk petty foihies arid vices the silent theme of laughter or recrimination, A well-tired English. mac of regular education, -nurtured in that ad mirable republicone of our first echouls, is really • a most accomplished man, a safe companion, a kind and sincere friend, turd a .charitmbl e . and Valuable member of the community ; his foibles are constitutional supremacy, of his , natiott, he is in his own eyes the' firstof exalted' beiugs, para mount to a• foreigner, iadised umneersUrably turd' decided ly above Scot, Qe . lt,ur Catubriare; his very domestic habitrides he thinks argue , refitted o pi.• niOns of life. and manners ; he is 0 4 th e w h o l e n. a good, virtuous, and high-minded man—but the truNt re pulsive companion and the most annoying ,'associate in a post-chaise, m 4 il-Coich, or' hoyt Now for poor Pat.—Fortunately since the Union of the two kingdoms the Irish character, both individual and national, has become well known to their more civilized countrymen at the English side of the Channel. It is singu lar that, as since the days of Tacitus the an nalist, no nation was more celebrated than the Irish for their love of justice, and impartial ad ministration of the laws ; so none of our Euro. pears States, however feudal iu their customs, can be more attached to the persons of their superiors, than the wretched and half-starved peasantry of this lovely Isle of Mists. The very striking term for a gentlemau of ancient descent, in the mouths of the peasantry, is a, " Clean Gentleman." Antiquity of family is quite indispensable to elicit that attachment, when possessed, is no where iu the whole world more remarkable. The poor Milesian vassal relies on the family he lives under; he lama his laud on the faith of being continued in the pos session of those fields which his ancestors held, relying on the word of a gentleman ; he seeks not a lease, or other documentary security for the completion of the contract. This, is the tenure of a vast number of poor people under old families, on whose honour they can rely. Such is the respect for a gentleman from the lower orders in Ireland ;---let us look at the Gentleman himself. Family pride and heredi tary consequence are common to alt those coon tries in this Empire. In Scotland and in Ireland, perhaps, our acknowledged poverty of the higher classes, compared with John Bull's more opu lent children, renders us more alive to feudal supremacy than elsewhere. We no where hear so much of the yellow clay breaking out. May not such appreciations be fostered by the sud den elevation of our tradesmen and shopkeepers to the rank of gentry conferred on them in a generation or two, by the acquisition of a few thousands of ready money. An Englishman be gins to consider his amount of capital sufficient to enter on trade necessarily when he has rea lized sufficient to induce an Irishman in his own country to turn gentleman, and keep up his este blisment in a station of life to which he has not before aspired. No two , classes of gentry, how ever, can possibly be more distinct, or generically different from 4rich other; than that of these nouvium richer, and the old established stock, known by the appellation " Clean Gentleman." To his inferiors, the metamorphorsed tradesmen, affords scarcely any thing worth notice, except that, from the circumstance of Ireland's being au exporting country, that particular class of men has -sufered more especially than in most other countries.' The ignorance of the first principles of trade 110(1,6)m-twee has beers no where snore notorious :than in Ireland ; the dreadful crash, front the breaking of the numerous banks, inci dental to the change from war to peace, and con sequent remission of prices of agricultural and pastoral produce, and loss of credit, has involved vest masses of our population in the very abyss of misery. A gentleman of Ireland, then, is now usually a man of family and hereditary standing in the country, most usually of colonial extraction, who traces his arrival in Ireland to either It William or to Cromwell ; some (few 'compara-: tively) of old Milesian aboriginal origin are in deed to be found scattered over the western and remote parts of Ireland, especially in the southern parts of the island. The 'squire is proud, iner-, curial, animated, enthusiastic ; he endeavours to keep care ut defiance, by largely partaking of the sports of the field, and affording a hospitable 'reception to his kindred and acquaintance to 'an extent which neither prudence or knowledge of the world entitle the possersor to enjoy, though he cannot command 100!. Irish without as much parchment and perplexity of tnanteuvring us an English tradesman would employ to get credit for ten times the sure ; still, if he is about to form a connection himself, or to marry his chil dren, he looks to an establishment proportionate to men of high family and good fortune in ; he is irascible, not over prudent in his pecuniary concerns, or actuated by that abhor rence of running into debt which we find in more civilized countries. The Irish gentleman (if he resides at home; which by the way few do.whose incomes bear the disbursement of an English re sidence) generally lives above his income ; you see no system its either his place or in his expert diture; he cannot be persuaded of the fact, that it is good, sense and good policy to snake those who live on his estate comfortable and contented ; on the contrary, he ,screws them - down by all mariner of rack-renting and oppression ; he dis. possesses the old tenant whose long lease-has expired, and selects new ones, not from appre-' ciations of character and former good conduct from their late landlord, but filial the audacious and mendacious effrontery 'with which they asto. wish him by promise of pecuniary augmentatioh in his rents ; the promise of these fellows bus be come proverbial falsehood.

Most of the above distinctive characteristics apply to the general masa of ,MilesieseGeutie man ; there are, however; a certain proportidn of the higher.class of Irish, of 014 end very relpeat able families, and certainly this, ,the pechliar excellence of which the nobility can boast, seems to form a coMmou possession its all the nations of Europe, where the customs and peculiar manner of the first class of society have rubbed off national asperities and national peculiarities; for it is ac knowledged that the Baron who has' mixea with various nations of Europe, is prettymuthtbesemo in sentitneut, manner, or general charecteriatir, whether his feudal hall he perched on the,Al - heath of distant Scotland, or the woody hills of Bohemia, or in the low lying and fertile fields of England. Yet; still we f i nd an accomplished Irish gentleman possesses excellencies peculiarly his own ; he has the levity and auitnation of the Frenchmais, without his heartlessness Qr. frivolity —he is a safe companion, blessed with perpetual hilarity of disposition, animated within elevated flow of animal spirits, the life and, soul of society —very much a favourite of the 40ftor.sex, be , cause his own predilections accord with their amiable propensities ; he is as proud as any Eng lishman alive, but possesses this, peculiar excel lence ; you have not the same necessity to thaw the ice and to dissipate the superinpeuding phlegm, to dissipate the sullen scowl, and to neutralize the splenetic efforts of acquaintance which en circle the interior, and form the repulsive exte rior of the high-bred Englishmen of birth and education—an excellent being he is,.when known after the sacrifice of a first attempt on the pat of the stranger to realize his acquaintance., The Irishman is less inaccessible, and, when known, just us distant to those whom he discovers by that fine tact which supplies the place of instinct in the animal creation, by which a patrician of highly wrought and &lel) , polished mind and habitude are ever distinguished, and can so easily distinguish who belong to their own circle. Much as the capacity fur amelioration, of which our lower classes are susceptible, it is doubtful whe ther we can discover an equal capacity of the evolution of national and useful talent anon them, which by universal appreciation of all na tions has been granted to that most delightful and accomplished being, an Irishman of rank, family, and education, who has , seen men and manners beyond St. Patrick% Isle. IlEnotc Bisnoe.—The siege of Clonmell, in the year 1650, is one of the most memorable in the annals of Ireland. Hvon O' NEIL, a spirited youth, with only twelve hundred men of provin cial troops, maintained the town so gallantly that the temper, arts, and military strength of tuoat- NV CLL. were put tea severe trial. liontusM'EGAN, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ross, was parti cularly active in collecting animators, and lead ing on the remnants of the troops that Caosi writ, had put to flight in different engagements. At length', this unfortunate Prelate fell into the hands of Lord'Bitoantia, one of the Parliamen tarian Generals, who, well aware of the value 451 his prisonei-, resolved to turn him to his advan tage. He knew'that.the influence of his prisoner over the RoyaliSts was unbounded, and therefore offered him his life if .he would.ute his influence vvith the garrison of a fort called Carrickdrogid. The Bishop promised, and so he did,' but not in the way his Lordship hoped.. For, on being conducted to-the fort,, he intreated the garrison. in the name of Heaven, their religion, love of country, and the spirits of ,those that had fallen in sUpport of all that was dear to them, to main tain their fort, and bury themselves in its ruins rather,thati surrender it to an implacable enemy.
