EDUCATION. The influence of Education upon the moral,. C 41V acter of Society, is so considerable, that every idea upon this. inipoitant subject, must - prore interesting to the public. "I' a acquisition of languages forms so indispensible a branch of education, that no effort should be omitted to render the access to them less difficult. If it be true, that Literary mutt 7-icietitific pursuits have been stripped of those repulSive . and Ascure forms which discouraged and perplexed the sttiden4 why should not the study of languages, which occupies' sK considerable a portion of our time, be rendered equally ca , y Why should. time, the most rail:table, because the most dee t gift of our Creator, be wasted for several years in acquir ing what might be attained in little- more than as . many mutit'hs ? Youth is the most important portion of our exis tence., It is the momentous and deeiiive period, which de termines the port we shall act in the drama of lifer. In this spring of our existence, the mind is a rich and virgin soil, awaiting only. the band of the cultivator. Then,our• facilities are called into action, new ideas- flow in on every tide; the judgment begins to exercise its - .important functions, and 'hit restless spirit of curiosity, so natural to children, awakens . in their minds the desire of information. Were the whole fistein.of education directed so as to , encourage and tilted ; this curiosity, instruction would be.retieved front most of the difficulties by which it is accompanied. BuF this, invaluable quality is generally combated , by two fumidableopponents, indi.lenCe.and inattention. , - To overcome the natural indolence of theinfant mind must be the ww.k.pf time. The spirit of rivalship • will sooner or • later awaken the ambition .of children: Their boyish pride will spurn the idea of being surpassed; and will urge them to redouble efforts which; experience teaches t heniinfist be crowned with ultimate success: Inattentiiin More.formi . dable opponent. In children, it proceeds citiedy from the restlessness and levity which belong to their 'ate. Full of health and spirits, unencumbered - with any of the cares of life, affected by troubles of only a moment's duration,-and • eager in the pursuit of pleasure, the child is necessarily rest less and volatile. The rapid flow of Spirits,"and the quick succession of ideas, keep him perpetually in. 'notion; this love • of play renders every serious occupation irkso:ne and - such is his fondness for variety, that even his amusements must be frequently changed. Hence the difficulty of fixing his atten tion for any time upon subjects which may tire, but _cannot amuse him. In vain you prove to him the necessity of study' and the advantages of education. His re a son may. be With . you, but his spirits, and his love of motion, Will be against you. Indolent and inattentive as the youthful mind may be,. it • may, however, be roused into exertion ; but this exertiOn seldom or ever lasts long : hence the' methods of instruction should be suited to this diSpositiou of the child. He must be allured to•study, by the appaeent, ease with which knowledge cart be attained. He must be strewn that the difficulties he dreaded were idle phantoms of his brain, and that what he is desired to learn will trot only be•usefulio him as a man, but that it is not above his capacity •as a child.- Hence the books' that are put into his hands must beat once clear and precise : clear, ,that be may easily understand them ; precise, that his attention may not he too much exerted. A rule worded with precision and clearness conveys an idea to his mind more dis-;. tinct than that which he could• derive from one expressed In a superabundance of words, which can tend only to confuse his ideas, and to perplex his judgreent. These truths are so -self-evident,-that it Most be matter of surprise to find the method here recommended, opposed from the erroneout idea that it would tend only to' make an indolent child more indo lent, and prevent the Impressions made on his mind from being deep and durable, an opinion, the fallacy of which must be proved by experience. The jargon of the Aristotelian School was such that, to its eXtirpatnni from Colleges, the progress of Philosophy, of late years, must be attributed. But although the scholastic me thod be generally exploded in scientific pursuits, - there still exists a fatal propensity to adhere to the obscure forms be queathed to us by less enlightened ages. -Let us not depreciate the merit of the ancients : in many respects they were our equals; in some, they were, perhaps, our superiors; but we possess advantages unknown to them, such as a more perfect method of analysis, and a better insight into the faculties of the mind, by means of which the understanding may he con ducted from the simplest elements, to, the most abtruse spe culations. The origin and 'generation of ideas, being better known, their progress from the imperfect notions of the child, to the elevated conceptions of the man, can be more. easily traced. In youth, the human intellect is a precious seed, which may grow into a statelytree,.embellished with the blossoms of fancy, and rich in the fruits •of reason. Thus de stined to becothe at once ornamental and useful to society, its proper cultivation becomes an object-a the - greatest possible impOrtrince.- The - time allotted for thikpurpose is short, the task. to be accomplished immense. Let us hope, therefore, that every thing will be done to facilitate the acquisition- of knowledge, and that by exploding ancient forms, and abj u log old established prejudices, our children will be perrnitteo to acquire in a•year or twtri What our forefathers - could not at tain in five or sit.

They had just limded their cargo, When they were surprised by the Spani-,.11 soldiers, and the _whole of their property was seized 'by them. We fear that this is only the beginning of" a, series of disasters, and that before long it will be still worse. As to cotton goods, they cannot be now more pro hibited than they have been since 1814."
