• BRUSSELS PAPERS. The Verateur contains a long article asserting the legality of the - exemption from the duty of Customs, granted on the impo'rtation of the models which the Government has imported ha Belgium from England, as patterns for the manufacturers NA our country who are to supply the materials for the iron - rail-road. The Moniteur founds its argument on the law of the 22d of February last, which exempts from import duties ma chinery of all kinds, imported as models for a new branch of indus;try, - and on the universally admitted rule that a govern ment cannot pay duties to itself. Several ships containing iron rails, or models of parts of the road, are now on their way from England to Brussels, where they will arrive in a days. BRUSSELS, Ave. 26.—The Moniteur Bclge of this morning publishes the general view of the native countries of the persons (710 in number) who have made the declaration pre sented by Article 133 of the Constitution, of their desire to be naturalized as Belgian citizens. Among them are 386 Frenchmen, 132 Dutchmen, 128 Germans, 6 Englishmen. 2 Irishmen, and 1 Scotchman. According to official tables of the average prices of Wheat and Rye, as crAlculated from the prices of the ten principal markets of 'the kingdom, according to the new corn law now first publieaed by the Moniteur, they were week in August— , Wheat, per Hectolitre Rye, ditto ..... 7f. 87c. Third week in August— Wheat, per Hectolitre Rye, ditto The highest prices were at Brussels ; viz., 3d week, wheat, 16f. 37c. ; rye, Bf. 65c. And at Louvain, wheat, 16f. 60e. ; rye, Bf. / 14c. Ryc was dearest at Liege, viz., Bf. 76c. At Arlow the price of wheat wds the lowest, viz., 11f. 21e. M. Swits, member of the commission which is to discuss the commercial treaty with Franco, set out yesterday for Paris with instructions and bases resolved on here. The Belgian brig Flora being on the point of sailing for a third voyage round the world, the Government has ap pointed M. Joseph Partoes, who belongs to the section of manufactures and commerce, in the Department of the In terior, to go as agent for the Government on board that vessel, - which will visit the principal ports of Bolivia, Chili, and Peru;then proceed to the Sandwich Islands, Manila, and China, and take in the produce of the two countries. The agent is to attend to all commercial transactions in all the ports visited by the ship, to examine what advantages Bel gium may derive from commerce with them, and in what man ner ; in short to make a general report on the state of corn snerce incthose countries. He is also to collect seeds of all kinds of trees and plants that may be introduced with advantage into the kingdom, and also to obtain any thing that may enrich the museums of natural history. A similar expedition is pre raring for Singapore. The cargo of the Flora is valued at 230,000 francs. We hear that several French officers leave the Staff and return to France. Colonel Rodenbach, Commandant of Brussels, left this city yesterday on leave of absence. - Their Majesties are still at Ostend, and continue to enjoy good health. -' BELGIAN FUNDS.—BILITB9ELS, AUG. 25.

DRESDEN, Aco. 16.—Within these few days eight more of our citizens hale been arrested. This circumstance has ex cited great sensation. It is not known whether they are ar rested in consequence of information respecting secret asso ciations, or of the depositions of the persons arrested for the murder of -Madame Von Schonberg. The sentence passed on ,the latter in tho first instance has been published ; three of them arc condemned to the wheel, two to be beheaded, and two to the House of Correction. C.SSSEL, Ate. 20. The Cassel Gazette contains the fol lowing paragraph :—" It seems that the negotiations between the Government and the Assembly of the States, have led to a desirable understanding, as was to be expected from the desire of both parties to promote the interests of the country. The Government has in many in s-tit-ices met with commendabl e rea di ness , th e wishes , and proposals of the Assembly, and both the Government and the States are evidently convinced that the real wrifare of the country depends on the maintenance of a go3tl understanding between them. We may therefore expect that the present session will lead to very favourable res:dis. FRANKFORT, AUG. 22.—Her Highness the Duchess Dow ager of Saxe Nleiningen and 132 r Serene Highness Princess Carolath have arrived here tc—day with their suite. Among other distinguished arrival. are General S. H. Campbell from England, his Excellency Baron Jalinsky, Russian Councillor of State, from War i aw, Prince Lieven, from Russia, and his Excellency M. dDubril, Russian Ambassador Extraordinary to the Court Spain, from Madrid, &c.—Frankfort Papers, Aug. 23. THE ARMY. (From the Limrrich Chronicle.y Sir Hussey Vivian, expected to arrive in this garrison to. clay, is delayed by the inspection of troops in the Connaught district. The Lieut.-General was at Sligo on Thursday, and will probably arrive on Monday next. The following detachments for relief are ordered from this garrison :—Major Tennant, Captain Ducat's company 91st, and Lieut. B. Campbell, to Newcastle ; Capt. Thornhill's company and Lieut. Hornsby, to Rathkeale ; Captain Camp bell and Lieut. Barnes, to Killaloe ; Capt. Fraser and Lieut. Ward, to Tipperary. The General Court-martial, Colonel Clark, 7th Dragoon Guards, President, which met at the New Barracks last month, for trial of offenders against military discipline, is ordered by a notice from the Horse Guards to re-assemble this day for a revision of their proceedings. The Stentor transport sailed from Cork on Wednesday for Plymoutliwith the depot companies of the 23d, or Royal Welch Fusileers, lately stationed at Fermoy. Yesterday morning the Ist division of the 2d battalion of Scots Fusileer Guards, marched from the Royal Barracks, Dublin, to the North-wall, where they immediately embarked on board two steamers prepared for their reception. They sailed, on the rising of the tide, for Liverpool. The 74th regiment expect a move to New South Wales. Capt. Whitney's company's of the 14th regiment, from Athlone, is stationed at Roscrea. A Captain and Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel of the Royal Ar tillery 's superseded by the Master-General, for being absent from duty without leave. The Army Brevet expected in London this week, is to in clude 90 subalterns of 1816, viz.-60 from the line, and 30 from Artillery and Engineers. The Commissioners appointed to investigate the propriety continuing the staff of fortifications in Great Britain, ar rived in Edinburgh on Saturday, after inspecting the Castle of that garrison, and proceeded for Dumbarton Castle and Inverness. Lieut.-General Vincent has arrived at Edinburgh from London. Major Butler, 35th, has joined in Dublin, from leave ; Lieut. Vereker, 27th, has proceeded to Bordeaux, on six months' leave ; and Lieut. Campbell, 74th regiment, has ar rived at Hurlestown, county Clare. Senior Lieut. James Burne, 59th regiment, succeeds to the vacant company by the death of Captain John Cooper. Lieut.-Colonel Everard, C. 8., of the 14th Foot, has left Athlone, on leave of absence ; the command of the regiment has devolved on Major Tumor. Thursday, at twelve o'clock, the troops in Cork garrison, viz.-4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, commanded by Lieut.- ColonerChatterton, K. H. ; Royal Artillery, Lieut.-Colonel Hutchinson; 43d Light Infantry, Lieut.-Colonel Booth; btith'Depot Companies, Major Eden; 70th Depot Companies, Major Kelsall, had a grand field day at Ballincollig, the whole commanded by Major-Gen. Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, K. C. B. The officers of the 43d Light Infantry in Cork, entertained at dinner, on Tuesday, the Marquis of Downshire, Earl Hills boro', Lietit.- Colonel Chatterton, 4th Dragoons, and a dis tinguished party. The Noble Marquis has a son (Lord Wil liam Hill) in the 43d. TAY SALMON IN PARIS.—We learn, from the best authority, that a salmon was caught in the Tay on Satur day last week, was put on board the Dundee steam-ship same day, and addressed to a gentleman in Paris, in which city it was served up for dinner on the Wednesday following. This, we believe, out-does anything in the shape of expedition on re cord. We question much if a Tay salmon has ever before reached the: French capital. We may add, that grouse, shot on the 12th, fifty miles from Dundee, were on the tables of our English friends, by the same conveyance, on the 15th.__ lifeshire Journal. BULL-BAITING.—This barbarous and shameful practice has been carried on to some extent in this neighbour hood, we regret to say. A bull which had been worried to the, death by about twenty dogs being set at him, after it had broken his leg and received other like injuries, at Whaley Bri - dge, the other week, was br oug ht i n t o t hi s town an d sold for 2/. It was slaughtered; but thanks to our active market lookers, who heard of the circumstance, they had the whole carcase publicly burnt, and the authorities are now engaged in investigating the matter, that the parties who were engaged in the " sport" may be brought to justice.—Stochport Advertiser. PRESENCE OF MlND.—There was a party of gen tlemen and ladies who went to i visit Bedlam, and, as they were going through the wards, one of the gentlemen was accosted by a person whom he supposed to be one pf the keepers, and who said to him in a whisper, " Your friends are only going through the common parts of the establishment, but if you will come with me, I will show you the apartments which are not generally opened to strangers." The man went off and beckoned to the gentleman, who stepped away from his com panions, to follow his new guide, who led him through sundry passages to the top of the building, and then out upon the leads. No sooner were they there than the man said to th e gentle man , " N ow , s i r, j ump i n t o t h e street I " , ot.l may sup pose wh at were hi s f eel i ngs w h en h e f oun d himself in the pre sence of a madman, and knew that the madman's next step would probably be to throw him off the building. But his pre sence of mind suggested a means of escape, and he said to the madman, "Jump down ! Anybody can jump down ; but if you'll let me, I'll go down and jump up,which will be much more of a feat." in The m a d man b urst to a laugh, "Ha ! ha!indeed it will; march down and try." So the gentleman was allowed to go ; and, naturally, the first thing he (lid was to inform the keepers of th e narrow escape he had had, and to urge them to be a l ittle more careful in future that such a dangerous lunatic should . not be allowed t o put peop l e ' s li ves Injeopardy.— n Dr. Bowng's Minor Morals.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, received this morn ing, are entirely without interest, both as regards the affairs of France, and the various changes that are hourly taking place in relation to the present state of Spain, in the European Cabinets. The rumours re- specting the movements of RoDIL and ZUMALA CA RREGUY are of the same unsatisfactory character as they have been for some weeks past. The telegra phic despatches are beginning to lose credit with the people, as taken together for a week conjunctively it would be impossible to reconcile their several reports. The latest telegraphic despatch received in Paris appeared in the Moniteur of the 25th from Bayonne, stating that, "on the 22d, Don CARLOS left Don . na Maria for Elisondo." But the truth is, that neither at Bayonne, nor Paris, nor London, is there an individual who knows precisely where Don CARLOS is, or in what direction he chooses to change his wanderings. The report that attempts are being made in Paris to negotiate a loan, to the amount of five millions, in aid of Don CARLOS, through the agency of the finn of HABER- and Co., of Carlsruhe, will doubtless so awaken the generous sympathies of the English Tories as to render the collection of such a sum the work of the time required for transmitting so much gold to the Continent. Our English Tories are greedy of fame, and here they may immortalize themselves by lending money on moonshine security. Don CARLOS is an abstract sovereign, whose regal dominions have been lost on earth, to be found hereafter in ArtiosTo's moon, when care will be taken to redeem all debts now contracted by the agents of the mighty mo narch of processional glory. The French Carlists are too modest to take the lead of the Marquis of Lo DONDERRY and his friends in aiding fugitive royalty. They are willing to. be outdone in the glory of lending money ; though they are ready to dispute the palm of being among the most vociferous in denunciation of the Spanish REGENT and her illustrious daughter. Let the English Tories find the pence, and the French Carlists will supply the praise. In a word no person in Paris would lend Don CARLos a thousand francs, were he to receive as security the Rebel's chance to the Spanish Crown; nor is there a chance of his obtaining credit in Europe for what would defray the expense of one ecclesiastical procession, unless his friends in England are so moved with compassion as to pawn their coronets to support his cause. The Northern Powers, it was hoped by his friends would have assisted him ere this, but their Imperial Majesties were not just in a condition to take the field against France and England, and so the matter rested, and will continue to rest for anything they will do to alter it. General MORENO—the Cain —upon whose brow ,he murder of BOYD is indelibly stamped—was last week arrested in Paris, but as the papers found upon him were not of a treasonable character, he is to be conveyed to the frontiers of Switzerland, where he expresses a wish to retire, never again to appear in France. We presume, as soon as he gets there, he will lose no time in seeking out his old master Don CARLOS ; for, from what we hear of him, he goes not among the Swiss mountains to seek a communion with the spirits of the mighty dead in whose breasts he planted the assassin's dagger. His heart loves not its own communings so well as to seek their indulgence among the mightiest works of Nature's GOD. No ; he roams a demon on earth, fearing and hating men, yet rushing among them to escape from the terrors of solitude—fears myriads of times more appalling. Louis PHILIPPE, together with the Queen, and, some other branches of the Royal Family, purpose leaving Paris on the Ist of September, on a tour to Bordeaux. The royal party will pass through Orleans and 'Tours, and on returning to Paris, will visit Pau and Limoges. Preparations are already made along the proposed route for the accommodation of the :Mo narch, and the nobility who are expected to conrpose his suite. The pageant will be composed of thc cipal nobility of France, who have already obtained permission to attend his Majesty. The only intelligence from Spain, is a repetition of the statements which appeared in yesterday's Sun. The prevalent rumours in Madrid are all on the sub ject of the public debt, and the probable report of the Finance Committee, which may be several days before it makeS a report from the want of documents on which to proceed. The want of money is greatly felt in Madrid ; the Royal treasury is completely exhausted, so that there is no means by which the Minis try can pay the wages of the troops ; and the result of this is, that they are daily becoming more and more demoralized. All classes are suffering from this, because, when the army is forced to shift for itself, it naturally looses the bonds of society, by giving en couragement to the lawless propensities of the de praved and the uneducated. ZUMALACARREGUY is flying from mountain to mountain, evidently for the purpose of evading an engagement until there is no hope of succour from the Carhsts of France, the To ries of England, or the despots of the Holy Alliance. The country is favourable to stratagems of this kind, as well from its mountainous inaccessibilities, as from the want ofgood roads, and all efficient means of quick locomotion; The pursued, too, have the advantage of supplies of provisions, of selecting their own routes, and of leav ing the country little better than a barren waste for those who come after them. However it remains to be seen what part Portugal will take in the restoration of peace in the Peninsula, now that England is re ported to supply her with the means of sending troops into Spain. We regret to state that a melancholy accident hap pened yesterday, in the Downs. His MAJESTY'S frigate Castor ran down the Cameleon revenue cutter, by which catastrophe her commander and twelve men unfortunately perished. We expect further particulars to-mon ow. Lord AUCKLAND and the Hon. Admiral DUNDAs left the Admiralty this morning for Portsmouth; on a tour of official duty. From the state of the money market, and from what is known of the transactions of the Bank, it is manifest that a great mistake was committed in re newing its exclusive privileges, and that another mis take was committed in creating a distinction between notes issued at its Branches, and notes issued in Lon don, and in making these a legal tender. That the Bank over issues, is manifest from the fact which now appears from the returns made, namely, that its issues are a little nuclei '20,000,0001., while those of the Country Banks do not much exceed 10,000,000/. ; and that the latter are nearly stationary, while the former are constantly fluctuating in amount. Now we adopted gold as our standard in preference to sil ver, because it was less liable to variation in exchangeable value than silver. But we have rendered the stability of the standard of little use in home transactions by conferring upon the Bank an exclusive privilege of issue in the metropolis, and sixty-five miles around it, which enables it to expand and contract the currency, in other words, to vary its value, and to raise and de press prices as it pleases. If there had been no previous over-issue, the Bank would not have been obliged to contract its issues by reason of the shipments of gold and silver to America and Portugal. On the contrary, it might have ex tended them to the amount of the void thereby occa sioned. We know what was sent from this country, but we do not know how much was sent from the markets of France and Germany. The high price of gold at Paris and Hamburg, however, demonstrates that supplies were sent from thence. And here the Bank and our cotemporaries continue to deceive them selves and the public by assuming what was our mint price of gold, namely, 3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce as the criterion for extending the value of gold in London as compared with its value in Paris and Hamburg, through the exchanges. But we have no longer such mint price of gold, or any mint price of gold whatever. The sum of 3/. 17s. 10 1 4. was the 2 mint price of an ounce o f go ld prev i ous to 18 16,d own to which year w e co i ne d our m i nt pound of s il ver , con sisting of twelve ounces, into 62 parts, or shillings, be cause ss. 2d. being thus the mint price of an ounce of silver, it followed that 3/. 17s. 104 2 -d. was the mint price of an ounce of gold, because in the proportion of 15.2096 to 1. (such being the proportionate value established by our mint regulations between gold and silver) it required 3/. 17s. 10- 1 . 2 d. in another currency of silver to purchase an ounce of uold. But since 1816 we have coined our mint pound of silver into sixty-six parts, or shillings ; and in place of making silver a legal tender—as it previously was — to the amount of 251., we have said it shall be a legal tender to the extent only of 40s. We have, therefore, ceased to have any Mint price of silver, or any Mint price of gold. We have only a market price —and to see what is the relative value of gold here and at Paris and Hamburg, we must ascertain what quan tity of gold can be got for a certain quantity of silver, say twelve oun ces , a t e i t h er p l ace , an d i f i n P ar i s or Hamburg a l ess quan ti ty o f go ld can b e got f or twe l ve ounces of silver than can be got for twelve ounces of silver in London, then is gold dearer at Paris or Ham burg than it is in London, and vice versa. But the Bank continues to give 31. 17s. 9d. per ounce for all the gold it purchases, under the notion that it is de sirable to keep up the market price to a Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 d., which no longer exists. According to the market price of silver, it should not give more than about 3/. 13s. per ounce for the gold it purchases. Nevertheless, it gives 3/. 17s. 9d., and thereby depre ciates its notes upwards of six per cent., that is, it con stantly over-issues to this extent in suck purchases. With regard to the law, which has said that gold shall not be had at any of the Bank branches for notes issued in London, but only at each bank for notes issued by it, while the same law has made bank notes a legal tender, it has thereby lowered the ex changeable value of such notes in the country, because gold cannot be got for them there, and it has enabled country banks not to pay in gold, but in bank notes ; and if gold is demanded, to exact an agio or commis sion of per cent. for it. Such commission entails a loss upon every person in the country who requires gold, and so the consequences of the expansion and contraction of the currency entail a loss upon all persons who contract engagements in a depreciated cur rency, as the currency is in a state of expansion, which they have to discharge in a reformed currency, as it becomes more valuable by contraction. These things are a consequence of the exclusive pri vilege of the Bank, and of the distinction which has been created between issues at its branches and issues in London, and the latter being made a legal tender. Unfortunately the exclu- sive privilege cannot be touched for ten years to come ; but the country can and should be immediately relieved of this distinction and legal tender, and we trust upon the meeting of Parliament it will be relieved. The one is no doubt a flea-bite compared with the other, but there is no reason why the country should be flea• bitten. At a time when a large and influential portion of the public press of this country is engaged in dissemi nating the most absurd opinions with respect to the improvements lately effected in the future administra tion of the Poor Laws, it affords us pleasure to find that those who are practically acquainted with the machinery of the new Bill, are able to bear incontro vertible testimony to its efficiency. Our contemporaries who are daily in the habit of protesting that they are influenced in their incessant clamour against. this mea sure, by a merciful regard for the interests of the poor, must be delighted to find that the principles embodied in the Bill have already had a trial, and that their suc cess would alone have justified their extension to every parish in the kingdom, had they only expediency to recommend them. This is well set forth in a pamphlet, which we have just received, written by the Rev. D. CAPPER, Curate of Great Missendm, Bucks, detailing the results of the workhouse system in that parish from the commencement of the year 1833. The following brief description of the state of the parish both before and after the introduction of the improved system, is a complete refutation of all the tales of horror with which the public mind has been abused":— " The amount of our population is about 1,900. The average amount of rates for the last three years, up to Lady-day, 1833, was (en shillings and sixpence in the pound, or three-fourths of the annual value ; and the average annual expenditure in the same period, upwards of 1,9001., being one pound per head on the population. For the last three years, the overseers fear ing to levy rates sufficiently large to cover the heavy expendi ture, incurred a considerable debt, amounting in 1830, to nearly 501., and increased in 1831 and 1832, to 4401. To have liquidated this debt in one year, and defrayed the current ex penses with the old system still in force, would have required a rate of thirteen shillings and sixpence in the pound ! a sum which I am convinced many of the small farmers could not have paid ; and in consequence of the increased embarrass mei.ts of others, many of the poor would have been thrown out of employment, and distress multiplied perhaps without remedy. We have therefore, the greatest reason to be thankful for our happy escape from a situation apparently so hopeless. " Instead of a rate of thirteen shillings and sixpence in the pound, and every probability in future of its annually amount ing to twelve shillings, we have, under the new system, been enabled to liquidate the enti re debt, expend 178/. on the work house, and to close the year's account with a balance of 601. in hand, by a rate of only ten shillings in the pound ! And I can fearlessly affirm, that this has been done in the exercise of the kindest spirit and manner towards the poor, and without any known instance of injustice or oppression. Our expenses are now reduced to about 2001. per quarter, being upwards of 1,0001. per annum less than the average expenditure of the last three years. Surely, the system by which so much has been effected, is worthy the attention of the enlightened phi lanthropist, and of the general adoption of the more interested part of the community." Commander Oliver, of the Plicenix steam-vessel, Lieut. Dacres, of the Royal George yacht, and Mr. Tryon, senior, mate of the same, are (it is reported) to be promoted, in consequence of having recently had the honour of conveying her Majesty to and from the Continent.

Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro to the 21st June, stating that the Commissioners appointed by the Cham berof D e p ut i es f or a re f orm i n t h e C onst i tut i on , h ave ma d e their report.—First, that the Regency should in future be in vested only in one person ; second, each province is to have a Legislative Assembly of from 20 to 36 members. Perfect tranquillity prevailed, and all the symptoms of trouble which exist since the revolution has been put down, with the condition that Don Pedro has given up all idea of coming to the Brazils, gives a guarantee for the future tranquillity of the empire. The funds are higher. Although the Augsburg Gazette continues to publish un favourable accounts of the situation of Mehemet Ali and his son Ibrahim in Syria, information has been received from va rious quarters confirming the re-establishment of order in Syria, and authentic letters say that the Lucagne Gazette, from Alex andria, of the 26th of June, announces that Mehemet Ali had concluded a peace with Syria, granting a general pardon. The Indicateur states that Zumulacarreguy is kept in check on the mountains of Bastan, while Rodil was in pursuit of Don Carlos, and had arrived at Mendragon. Don Carlos was endeavouring to gain the mountains. We are again this morning without any arrivals of import ance. The express from Paris gives us another Bayonne despatch of the 25th inst. by the telegraph, stating that Don Carlos left Donna Maria on the 22d inst. for Elisondo.

The engagements are about 90,0001. In the early part of the morning, the Spanish and Portu guese Stocks had the appearance of maintaining their prices ; but, within this hour, the market has become very heavy, and given way. _ _ Spanish receded one per cent., from 45 to 441 ; since which it may be quoted at 441 x. Portuguese Stock has taken the same turn, from 811 82 to 80i1 I; it is now 801 H. The receding of the latter Steck may be attributed to bills for a large amount having been drawn from Lisbon by Don Pedro's agent, for account of bullion to be sent there ; but these bills, having experienced some difficulty in being cashed, caused a large amount of Portuguese Stock to be thrown on the market to meet the acceptances. Consols are also not so good as in the early part of the day, when they were 904 for account, and are at present 90 to 1; for money, 891.

LITERATURE. QUARTERY REVIEW. No. CHL (SECOND :Norzcz.) London, 1834. In the eloquent, but, in many respects, sophistical essay on the Eton system of education, the Reviewer, while professing impartiality, and a willingness to con form to—or at any rate to meet half way—the altered taste and temper of the day as respects,our great scho lastic institutions, yet betrays in every page an unequi vocal bias in favour of the existing system. With him classic literature—as with the Utilitarians the exact sciences—is still the main requisite in a national system of education. True, he descants on the exped►ency of our English youth being helped to an acquaintance with all those practical pursuits which it is the fashion of the day to affect and patronize ; still it is plain to perceive that his heart is not with the Utilitarians of the present, but with the classic scholars of the past, age ; and that he takes the first opportunity of escaping from the " stye" of the former, to wander with Plato in the groves of the Academe—to philosophize with Cicero at his Tusculum_ and to rusticate with Horace at his Sabine farm. We cannot but regret this exclusive spirit, which, however natural and even generous be the mo tives that induce it, is yet to be deprecated. There should be no sectarianism—no one-sidedness in mat ters of education. The interests at stake are too va rious, too mighty, influencing the destinies, not of in dividuals only, but of nations, to admit of being thus sacrificed to prejudice. Unfortunately, however, the advocates of the new, as well as of the old, system of education are equally open to the charge of bigotry. The one are the Cavaliers, the other the Roundheads, of scholastic policy. If the one would imbue the youthful mind with an aristocratic contempt for all but the refined and ornamental in literature ; the other would have it attend exclusively to the homely, the practical, and the useful, and sedulously cultivate the interests of the pocket, as the noblest and the worthiest, the alpha and the omega of all interests. We despair of seeing any really valuable system of education esta blished, till these two factions—these rival houses of Montagu and Capulet—have learned to lay aside their differences, and join heart and hand in the promotion of the common weal. In the two great organs of the old and the new system, the Westminster and Quarterly Reviews, we fancy we can detect the dawn of this conciliatory spirit. Neither stand so much aloof, nor are so deeply wedded to system as they used to be. The West minster now affects to patronize classic literature, and the Quarterly, not to be behind-hand in courtesy, gives Utilitarianism an encouraging pat on the cheek. This is cheering to the good cause, for it is not by the adoption of the one, but by the harmonious blending of the two rival systems, that the interests of national education are to be helped forward. The youth who should venture forth into the world freighted only with a cargo of classic lore, would be just as helpless, just as sureto drop:to lee-ward, as he who should attempt to push his fortune with nothing but utilitarian pedantry to recommend him. It is for this reason that we are anxious to see the Eton system of education—and what we say of Eton applies with nearly equal force to all our other great public schools—enlarged, so as to embrace the useful, as well as the ornamental branches of literature. At pre sent it is too restricted ; and the time that should be devoted to those studies (the business parts of lite rature) which invigorate the young mind, and fit it for the wear and tear of life, are frittered away in the manufac ture of Greek and Latin prose and poetry, in which the creative faculty—that which brings out the very essence of the youthful mind—has not the slightest opportunity of developement. Classical composition is an elegant recreation. It can never be any thing more. It may accomplish the gentleman, but it will never constitute the scholar, while, as respects the interests of real life, it is so far from being of use, that it is absolutely a stumbling-block. Yet we have known many sensible, business-like parents who have shouted for joy wheu their sons have distinguished themselves at Eton or Reading by the composition of Greek lambics or Latin Alcaics, yet who would have made it a point of con science to discourage them, had they attempted to fritter away useful talents by sporting the poet in their own language ! Was ever absurdity equal to this ? We regret to see the Reviewer so warmly insisting on this most mechanical branch of education. He may talk of the dull pedantries of political economy, but the Eton system of verse-making beats even these hollow. If then he would desire to see the old system perpe tuated, let him recommend the infusion of fresh blood into its enfeebled veins. This he has done to a certain extent in the present article ; but he has not gone far enough ; he should advocate utility, as well as orna ment, in matters of education, taking as the ground work of his creed, those famous lines of Milton— " to know That which before us lies in daily life Is the prime wisdom." " Belgium and Western Germany" is a favourable notice of Mrs. Trollope's late book of Travels. This lady is a sprightly, satirical writer, gifted with a keen perception of character, and a graphic force of description, hut she is by no means the prodigy the Quarterly would make her out. When truth stands in the way of point, she never hesitates an instant to sacrifice it. So that her books amuse, she is not at all solicitous about their instructing. The Americans afforded her a fine opportunity of showing off her pe culiar talent for caricature, hence she offered up a whole nation on the altar of her vanity. Mrs. Trol lope's genius is modelled . on the rules of contrariety. Her professed fictions (we allude more especially to the "Abbess") are too full of matters of fact. Her pro fessed matters of fact, such as her Travels, are too full of fictions. In the " Present State of France," the Reviewer indulges in the broadest and most diverting vagaries. this essay has all the bustle, character, and variety of a drama. Louis Philippe and M. Berard are drawn to the life—and nearly as richly coloured in point of humour, as any of Foote's or Colman's farces. M. Berard, it seems, was one of Louis's best friends and patrons during the three days ; he not only helped him to a throne, but actually fixed him there, as tight, to all appearance, as if he were screwed down to it. Unluckily, however, when the crisis was over and the new dynasty established, Louis Philippe's memory be gan to desert him, and this, just in proportion as M. Berard's waxed more lively. The consequences may he anticipated. M. Berard grew solicitous, Louis Phillipe ennuyed. The former gave hints of what he had done, the latter of what he would do, and in this instance followed up his hints most royally, by sending word, one fine August morning, to M. Berard, that his " services were no longer needed." Of course poor Berard was all agony at such black ingratitude, and equally as a matter of course, turned patriot on the spot ; not however, as he magnanimously observes, from any sense of his own personal grievances (of course not, where is the monster who could insinuate such a thing ?), but simply from the consideration of what was due to his injured country ! He is now all for the movement ; affects to pity Louis Philippe ; and writes a big book to prove that he is the blackest of the black, and himself the most spotless of the un spotted. With infinite propriety the Quarterly proposes this little revolutionary episode as the subjec t of a comedy, and thus hints how it should be con- totted t— ing"s A ortlie L c — on T s h pi e ra d to r r a s m d a u w ri The bascule of their discretion and their courage, accordine, the insurrection looked up or down, even as sketched by Berard, is supremely ridiculous ; and this act would end with o n ti g ld th o e pe t n wo wi fi th rst th d e ay v s ar a i o n u d s n r g e h e r:, that famous meeting in which these doughty patriots coneurr,': in the necessity of publishing a bold protest, but when the 5 ; protest had been drawn out and was ready for signature-- penman found that he was left alone ; the others having. .e!" . caped by the beck door (literally) to avoid the responsibility of signing what they had advised.
