LY SCHOOL, NEAR GLOUCESTER.

—A magistrate, who bas just paid a visit to Mr. Baker's Re-
formatory School, on his property at Hardwick court, near
Gloucester, sends a brief account of its cost and manage-
ment to a local journal. The school consists of two cot-
tages, connected by a plain brick building, two stories high,
the lower serving as a day and schoolroom, the upper story
as a bedroom for the boys. The cottages are inhabited by the
bailiff and schoolmaster, the former, who is the general
superintendent, receives thirty pounds a year and his board,
the schoolmaster twenty pounds and board also. The cast
of the entire building amounted to 3911. 12s. There are
now 37 boys in the school, of these 29 are from Gloucester.
shire and eight from London and other counties.
The number of acres attached to the school, in-
eluding the garden, is 32, 12 in pasture and 20
under spade husbandry, end producing very heavy crops
of wheat, beans, turnips, &o. The school is frequently vi-
sited by the vicar and curate of the parish, and two to three
or more hours daily, according to circumstances, are de-

voted to religions and secular instructions. The diet of the
boys is bread and milk for breakfast and supper, and meat
twice, soap twice, and bread and cheese three times a week
for dinners. The dress is a suit of cord and a smock frock.
The cost of the establishment for the last quarter was
1731. 51. 6d. (including food, salaries, and every expense
connected with the school and farm), for an average of 33
boys and 6 grown up persons, including two 'masters now
in training for sehools in other counties. The government
allowance for each boy is five shillings a week. As to the
result, it appears that out of 77 boys received, 44 have
paned through the school; of these 27 have turned out I
well, 7 not well; others have emigrated, or not been
heard of.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A TAX COLLECTOR, AMOUNT-
ING TO urwasuut or 2001.—This morning, information
was communicated to the various pslice•stationa in the city
and other parts of the metropolis, for the detention or spore-
hong= of Samuel Brothers, formerly collector of taxes in
the county of Leicester, who has embezzled upwards of
2001. It is supposed that he is now in London, and will
make for some seaport town.

Boma of his dissenting friends having objected to
the word " toleration," as reed in his address to the electors
of *lidos, Yr. Noohl, to another address, mild's, that he
IMO that word 44 the opposite to " intolerant's," and that
hie iotoorrotialols of " a large measure of toleration " Is
" fill civil and religions liberty." After all, " words are
vain th'ngs, nudes they represent stabstantialities ; there.
LOP by my acts I will be judged."
Timm-or-Drava Corricra.—The operation of
the new law robititating penal servitude for transportation
we are informed, duly becoming more sad more felt in
the increasing numbers of emancipated conviste, the great
proportion of whom, it is asserted, return to their old voca-
tions. Almost every steamer front Loudon brings down
several of these men lore. Lost week, it is understood, that
eight tickevef-leave nee arrived at Gunton Pier, end this
week sin others followed. A pretty large proportion of the
panels now coming before the higher courts of justice are
returned oonvioto.—Rdinbwrgli Coltrane.
