One of the French brig; mentioned in this list Was saved, and the lives of the Cat►rain and crew, entirely by the coot and determined conduct of Mr. C.

Mr. CLARK, after doing' every. thing that could be done to preserve th e vessel, r;tn her on shore ne&ly at the top of high Water, in doing which he amid the remaining Frencl►tnan were knocked down from the wheel twice, and when sltestritck, and had washed over the first fox-fall, he took the axe and cut away her only mast left staudiug, by which means the, ves sel rentaitted whole until td►e water left her ; and some time after this a sloop %rho had lust her kowsprit apnented off Calll's in distress, when Air.

Thy Public are indebted to this Lady not only for many loyal Effusions of great poetical beauty, but for several Works on EDUCATION, which are admirably calculated to train the youthful ►wind to ktiowledge and to virtue. Her remarks on this important subject were the result of reflection, sound judgment, accurate observation, and long practical ex perience, having, we ❑nderstand, been engaged in families of distinction, as well as in others of high respect,ability.—We subjoin a few Stanzas /ruin this interesting Poem, and regret that we have not room for a longer extract, 'Tis the deep sound cif Sorrow !

IMPORTANT NFORMATION.—From calculation by the College of Physicians, no less than 40.000 die annually in Great Britain of Consumption, and at least 10,000 in London. The late William Turnbull, Esq. a very ingenious Surgeon, ascer tained that every 20. h person was -ruptured.— These colnplaints are truly alarming to every in dividual who uses the least exertion. It is also incredible the number that suffer from a certain Disease, by being improperly treated. It was those circumstances induced Dr. Coo Pert to select . eminent Physicians and Surgeons, of at least 30 yea's' experience, to form a Medical Board;, and since the establishment upwards of 30,000 Pa tients have been cured without continement-- many of them after hospitals had failed. • • Messrs.

FOR.. I UE...5.U.N., INSOLVENT DEUTORS ACT MR. EDITOR—A very pretalent report seeming to`announce the expiration of the Laws for Re lief of Insolvent Debtors, I may be permitted to offer some 'minks illustrative of my opinion that those Laws are still in force. Shotdd my contemplation of the subject be accurate, 1 shall rejoice for the sake of the tin• fortunate many, 1,4 h o will be otherwise doomed to a long and dismal' captivity. ' Shotild 1 be in error, let me hope that some of your enlightened Corrinoinlents will disprove tray calculation be yond a possihirity of doubt. The Act of Parliament 59 . Ge0. 3, passed in July ISst, continued the several LaWs•for•ltelicf of, insolvent Debtors, until the expiration of three calendar months after the commencement of the next Session' of Parliament. 'the Session commenced on ;he 23d November 1819, andl conceive that the three calendar month* should be reckon e d from the Ist of December, as the calend of Novemher had passed before the commencement of such Session ; that December, Jaitu•try, and February, were the three c•dendar u►ontits after the contmencement of the Sess;ou ; and that the insolvent 4cts would have expired With the 29th of February, it nor renewed by the Act which pass . ed on the 28th for the caftan!) - ance of expiring Laws in force on • the latter day., It is insistecrby many, that the Insolvent Acts ceased on the 23d of Febraury, as being the ex "piration of the time fixed by the provisions of 59 Geo. 3. 1 contend; that the expiration of three Calendar months imported the whole of three distinct months, as set down in the Calendar or Almamack I that is to say, three whole distinct months, commenced, continued, and terminating, after the Session of Parliament commenced. Not months composed of an espial number of days, and taken in• part from four months ; and that no part of November should be reckoned as one of the Calendar months, with reference to the duration of the Acts so continuer! in force 'for three Calendar Months after the commencement of the Session. In this, contemplation, it appears, th:4t the Insolvent Laws are fully c , ?titinued by the ex piring Laws Act, and may be put in force till the 25th June, 1820. Calendar Months are to be reckoned distinctly as they stand in the Almanack, Calendar, or -ite gister of months—a Calendar being the Ilegisur of a year, cot►si.tiug of 12 asset do is in such Calendar, and not as Lvnar or Solar Months, which are variable, consisting of 29,30, and 31 days through the year, and one.of which mouths may form a part of two in the Calendar: The word Calendar is derived from Cnistidee or Calends, and the first day of each month through the year forM the. Calends of that year: Me days of a week and a month, as well as Feast Mays are variable, but the months'in the Calen;lac or - AlLnanack are uniforth. Almanack is defined a distribution or numbering ; a`nd in a Calendar 01noth we commence with numbering. from, the first day of that month. The Word Almanack is said to be derived from al Arabick, and the Greck month, meaning all of a month, as it .stands in the Almanack - or Calendar. The word CALENDAR therefore refers to the first day of each month ; and. to number by the CALENDAR is to reckon Iron► that day, without which I conceive a CA LENDAR month cannot be properly reckoned com plete. Consequently, the FIRST CALENDAR MOlitil after the Meeting of Parliament commenced, was the Ist of December, and the 3rd CALENDAR MONTH expired on the 29th of February. • I - remain, Mr. Editor, your's, Temple, March C, 1820.
