League, either collectively or separately, have declared
to the Vorort that, whether in a civil or a military cape-
city, they will hold themselves free to &newer to any
call which may be made upon them by the legitimate
government of their cantors. One of those who have
been summoned declares that he is ready to renounce
the service of the League if it be considered by the
federal government incompatible with his commission
in the service of the latter. None have ventured to
defend an engagement with the League as such. They
shelter themselves under their allegiance to their
cantons respectively.

Letters from Rio de Janeiro of the 19th of Jane
state that the scarcity of vessels had occasioned a
large accumulation of coffee, the stock of which then
nearly amounted to 100,000 bags. In consequence of
this &handout* lower prices were accepted by the
merchants, by whom the article was quoted 28s. 2d.
to 28s. 6d. for superior, 265. 6d. to 275. for good firsts,
and 2.is. 11d. to 235. Bd. for ordinary descriptions ;
terms, in all cases, free on board without freight.
Freight for Hamburg was 51. The rate of exchange
upon London continued firm at 27 td. Her Majesty's
ship Coracoa was to leave for England in a few days.

The AUgemeins Zeitung mentions from Hanover,
August 7, that a rumour prevails that the presence of
the Duke of Cambridge there is not merely meant as
a family visit, but has for its object a far more im-
portant question, the final alteration and settlement
of the succession to the throne. It is moreover, a fact
that the accoachement of the Crown Princess is ex-
pected to take place in October next. The Crown
Prince, who looks ill, will, for the first time, this year
omit his usual visit to the baths of Nordermez.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUICIDE AT
MANCHESTER.
Yesterday morning an inquest was held before Mr.
Roberta, solicitor, sating in room of Mr. Chapman, borough
coroner, at the Old Siena public-house, Long Millgate, on
the body of an elderly individual—aged, as far as could be
guessed from his appearance, about 46 or 57 years of age,
who was found dead in bed, in a room in the house of John
Lewis, lodging-house-keeper, No. IS, Todd-street, Shudehill,
on the previous evening.
The circumstances oonnected with the melancholy affair,
revealei previous to the identification of the unfortunate de-
ceased, are steed in the evidence produced before the
coroner. The first witness called was—
['Mary Mullineaux, servant to J. Lewis &fermi], who maid
that on Friday night last the deceased came to their holm
He was quite sober. He slept there all night, and on Satre.
day was up ail the day. He slept again there ea Satardmal
night. Witness never noticed anything in Ide 441.001116• It,
conduct at all remarkable. On Sunday moralist willow
went into the deceased's room, between ten and elema
o'clock, arid asked him to get up, that she might make his.
bed. Deceased replied that he did not intend to rise at aII
during the day, on which she left him. In a little time
after deceased called her, and on going Into the room be add'
he was very dry. She asked him what he would have, le
which he replied he would take a pint of beer. Me brocight
it to him, and left him again. About three in the afternae•
she was going up asks to clean herself, when she 100114111
into deceased's room, awl found him asleep. She spOke to
him, and he still insisted that he would not get up, She
did not see him again till about nine o'clock at night, after
her return home. When she went into the bed-room she
found deceased quite dead. There was a bottle on the
dressing-table, and a piece of rope beside it, sufficiently
long for any one to hang himself. The jug and *glees
which she had brought him with the beer in the i=
were also on the table. She ran down stairs and
her master, who at once went out for a doctor. When the
doctor saw deceased he said he had been dead about as
hour. He took his supper well on the Saturday night, bat
be had nothing on the Sunday except the beer. On the
Friday evening, when he was going up stairs, vitamins
noticed that be carried two bottles in his bend, the one that
which was found on the table ; the other was found ander
his pillow. On Sunday afternoon deceased wrote two
letters. He asked for the post-office, and took away the
letters.
William !Ingham, assistant to Mr. Jain G. Mattison, lar-
gess, who exasamed-deomeed on being sent for by Leiria
described his appearance. Deceased appeared to have been
dead throe or tour lawn. Betide the jug and glass on the
. table was a bottle. marked on the outside, " Laudanum—
. Foimon." There were still two or three drops in the bottle.
It would contain quite sufficient to poison the deceased.
From the appearances of the body, be considered that death
had been caused by the taking of narcotic nelson:
Ilawkley, the constable, confirmed the preceding evidence.
On searching the pockets of the deceased, he found a number
of the Loudon publication, entitled the Family Herald, the
first paper In which is " The Story Teller The Secret
Ftfisoner." Chap. IV., 'which, from its appearance, the de-
ceased had evidently been reading.
Up to this stage of the proceengs no evidence had been
adduced by which the identity of the deceased could be es
tablished, and the jury were in the act of deliberating
whether they should not at once return a verdict upon
him as a " palms unknown," when Mr. Thomas Wright,
of Sydney-street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, was announced
the coroner, and admitted to the jury-room. [Mr. Wright
is well .known in Manchester, in connection with his long
and truly self-denying and philanthropic hibours among
the prisoners In the New Bailey.] Mr. Wright bad come,
in obedience to the instructions of the deceased, contained
in the temarkable letter which is subjoined ; and, bearing
of the inquest, was thus enabled, most opportunely, to
give the entente &adt!, not only the name and Omutar
of the deceased, but also to reveal to them some of the dis-
trawling cireumatancel under which the suicidal act lad
been conimitted. He landed the letter to the coroner,
which is as follows:

R1.3101.71t OF THE ASSASSINATION OP LOUIS
FUILIPP3.—On Tuesday, a report prevailed in various puts
of London, that the "charmed life of the French King had
ben again attempted. We traced the rumour to the South
Western Railway, where the trail was lost in a manner
which so completely divested the repent of probability that
we took no notice of it. The rumour, however, found its
way northwards, and had a transient effect on the Man-
chester and Liverpool share markets, as will be seen in our
railway reports. The French papers of Tuesday night
represent the citizen King as enjoying himself quietly at Eu.

TR; FEVER Vlcrims.—The wives and children of
theploothial and relieving officers who have died of fever
melt in the discharge of their duties daring the present
year, are not to be forgotten. A representation made to go-
vernment has not been without effect ; fur although Sir G.
Grey declined to introduce a bill authorising payments to the
widows and orphans onto( the poor-rates, yet he has declared
the intention of government, when applied to through the
poor-law eamesimoners, to consider every case on its merits.
A steeds* matalaing the names of fifteen victims of fever,
has been forwarded to the poor-law commissioner., and it is
understood that allowances will be apportioned in each case
to she (smiles of these who have perished in administering
relief to the dimmed and the wretched. Among them are
the widows of four surgeons.
SUNDAY TRADING.—Last night, a numerous meet-
ing of parochial .ulcers was held in the Inquest-room, St.
Andrew's, Holborn, to receive the report of the select com-
mittee of the Hones of Commons, " to inquire into the pre-
valence of Sunday trading in the metropolis."—Mr. Church-
warden Low took the chair, and explained the objects of the
meeting from the report, which stated: " That upwards of
5,000 shops are open, and that as exteneive minis of
Sunday trading exists in various parts of the metro-
polis; that Sunday Aridisi Is attended with most in.
junous consequence; and that, in setae localities,
it is customary to charge from 10 to 20 per cent. more feel
goods sold on the Sundays than the other days of the week ;
that a majority of tradesmen who carry on their business on
Sunday earnestly desire to be relieved from it ; that the
present laws on Sunday trading are found to be wholly inope-
rative ; that the various means which have been used by
the trader. themselves to put an end to Sunday trading hav-
ing failed, the committee feel justified in recommending the
introduction of a measure for effectually prohibiting Sunday
marketing, and the public sale and exposure of goods.'
Mr. Craig, potato saleaman, observed, in reference to the re-
port just read, that his business required him to be up at 3
o'clock on Saturday morning, end from that time he con-
tinued labouring for 22 successive hours; that himself and other
tradesmen, after so many hours toil, object to renew their la-
bounces the Sunday—for which they weredecidedly of opinion
no accents, whatever existed, and that in his opinion trade-
men generally were averse to Sunday trading, which he
thought a decided injury to the labouring classes. 'TILT:s-
port havieg been unanimously adopted, and a vote of
qe. Sta‘ry, Esq., and to the chairman, thesteet-
todre partehase re separated.

Nam &rum:R.—The Belgian government steamer,
City of Ostend, arrived at Dover on Tuesday, from Ostend,
at noon, with 53 passengers. This steamer has only bean
recently put on this station, the Belgian governMent having
decided upon making the communication between Dover and
Ostend daily. The want of a steamer on Mondays, from
Dover, and on Saturdays from Ostend, will therefore no
longer be felt.
SALE OP LAND.-04 Monday last, Messrs. Churton
offered for sale, at Birkenhead, a quantity of villa land,
called the Dibbinedale Vale Estate," beautifully situate on
the margin of Brotabotough Yaol, near Birkenhead. The
quantity advertised was :75,000 square yards, in tau hue.
The .attendance at the aide was numerous andzqtable,
but the state of the money market had a dip effect
upon the bidding. Four lots only were offered, one o which
was knocked down at 2s. 6d. per yard, and a second at 3s.per
yard. The total number of square yards sold exceeds 5,000.
ALLEGED POISONING. A ROMEO. named Ann
Mather, at Warrington, was committed for trial at the next
Liverpool Laical, on the charge of having poisoned her hus-
band. The huMand, Job Mather, a file-cutter at Warrini-
ton, died on the 20th ult., end was buried nest day. His
widow, the prisoner, subsequently ithetionded, when enspi.
does were mentioned that she had poisoned her hatband,
and she was ultimately traced to Ashton-under-Lyne, where
she was apprehended on Saturday. From evidence adduced
at the inquest, which MU brought to a conclusion on
Monday night, it appeared that Mather's body had
been exhumed, and fie presence of arsenic was
detected on the stomach. The evidence against the prisoner
went to prove that she had bought arsenic the day before
his death. In support of a motive, it was shown that de-
ceased belonged to several burial and other societies, and
that the prisoner, after his death, had actually netted about
21l from the funds of those societies, as funeral fees. The
jury were so satisfied, after hearing the evidence, that they
found a verdict of Wilful Murder.

MILNGOLD WURTZEl..—Yesterday afternoon, in-
spected two acres of this In species of beet, cultivated by
Mr. Allan, of Fountaitibleau, the seed of which was sown
early in April, and which is probably as flue a crop of the
kind as ever grew. The soil ISCOLS to nit the plant

been attained so early in the season, what will they be

BELFAST, Aug. 17.-The weather, since our last report,
has bun splendid, and there is every appearance of its con-
tinuing so. The extensive failures in the corn trade in
London have produced a pre's; stagnation in the English
market& ; and, consequently, all descriptions of breadetuffs
are again the turn lower. Indian Cora and Indian Corn
Meal have further given way ss. per ton to-day. No changes
have taken place in any other articles, with the exception of
American Flour, which has declined fully 24. per barrel, the
best brands being purchased for 291. *to 30e. per barrel.

RIGA, July 24.-The shipments of Rye amount at this
moment to about 708,600 chetwerts. The continual decline
of prices in the Corn markets of the Continent would have
a greater influence on sure if the surrounding diet:dens,
especially Courland, were not unprovided. Hence business
is limited to purchases for these places. The dealings for
future mei* lament have been trifling, and there is a greater
disposition to eell than to buy. Polish Corn has been sold
at 150 roubles; Hemp is firmly sustained and rather on tie
rise.
SALONICA, July 14.-Busineee inactive. The Wheat-

MAIDSTONE, Aug. 17. Since Friday morning the weather 11
has been very unfavourable for the Hops, the wind con-
tinuing in the north-east, and at times blowing quite a gale,
which has greatly disturbed the perpendicularity of the
poles, and bruised the Hope. There will be • very material
difference in the yield of this year and last in different gar. I

I think wo shall get about as many as we did last year. The
wind has sunk this morning, and it is somewhat warmer, but
we are enveloped in an unreasonable fog.

THE triumphant success, at the Limerick county
election, of Mr. Mosisett, of Tervoe, reads a useful
lesson to the conservative and Whig gentry of Ireland.
Limerick has heretofore been one of *me counties
which the scribes of toryiem call " repeal-ridden end
priest-ridden." Yet Mr. Mossm.t was placed at the
head of the poll. The Evening Mail of Friday last, in
its efforts to magnify the program of the repeal cause,
assets that the reason was the delight felt in seeing
a protestant gentleman of fortune mhos opinions
appresaile to repeat.— The assertion of the
iccoheisg Modeeighthip credited it the repealer' had
not opposed ME MONBE.LL with all their energy. Mr.
Resent.. ef -.Mount Russell, a smithy Roman catho-
lic and riLaier, denounced Mr. Moeseti. en the hest,
ings. F Coaretto did theeame. The clamours of
the mob were raised agrakost dim. Ridiculing old
stories about hie grandfather were raked up. , No
*NM were left untried to return the repealer. On
side was Mr. Cams Pearsaa, the late member
ietthe musty, a protestant memo, and serene fol-
lower of the Conciliation-hall party, a man of no
talents, nor ever likelf to be either useful or Orna-
mental in public life. On the other, was Mr. Moe-
sett, of Tervoe, the representative of a tory family,
and a man of high social station, closely connected
with the aristocracy. Bat he had higher claims than
those which rose from the broad acres of Tervoe, or
the union in marriage with an amiable daughter of
Lord DUNRAVEN. Mr. MONSELL is an honest pub-
lic character, assiduous in labouring for the welfare
of his neighbours. He ham won for himself an un-
tarnished public name, and has given palpable evi-
dence not only of his zeal, but of his intelli-
gence. Thus he rallied public opinion in his
favour. Thus he carried electors with him
to the poll. Thus it was that a catholic
priest seconded him on •the hustings, while
others of the catholic clergy boldly canvassed in his
behalf. We heartily rejoice at his success. 'Whether
the hon. member support Lord JOHN Russet' or
Sir Ronewr PEEL is a matter of perfect indifference,
compared with the fact, that an Irish popular consti-
tuency has given evidence of true public spirit and
sound discrimination.
At the county of Waterford election a very strange
circumstance took place. Messrs. VILLIERS STUART
and Cseew, both whigs, expected to be returned
without opposition. On the day of nomination, how-
ever, Sir RICHARD MUSGRAVE suddenly appeared,
and proposed a Mr. ROBERT KEATING, of the county
of Tipperary, on repeal principles. Upon which Mr.
VILLIERS STUART rose, and offered to retire, sayinl
he did not much care bout being in parliament, an
that it would be a pity to have a contest. But Mr.
CAREW insisted that he, as junior member, should
retire, and not Mr. VILLIERS STUART. Uncommon
politeness, indeed, at an Irish election! Two candi-
dates for one seat, striving to bow the other into
parliament.. Mr. Powea, of Faithlegge, who had
actually. proposed Mr. STUART, observing the pick-
tooth in erence with which Messrs. VILLIERS
STUART and CAREW z okarded th honour of a seat in I
arliament, suddenly it intoe his head to become
a candidate himself! He, accordingly, started as a
repeal candidate at a moment's notice, and both the
whig gentlemen retired.
The Waterford election, argue the tor's', and
repeals's, proves the progress of repeal. We draw
from it a different conclusion. It proves the same
fact as the Limerick county election—namely, that a
man of fortune, character, end public principle, can
even in these times acquire great influence in Ireland.
Sir RICHARD MUSGRAVE is as much ka.speatd. in
Waterford as Mr. MONSELL is in Limerick, and he
has great political popularity. If Sir RICHARD had
started his shoe-black in place of Mr. ROBERT
KEATING he would probably have carried his point
The retirement of the Whig candidates proves nothing
more than that these gentlemen did not desire a
public life. We are sorry to see so much apathy. Mr.
VILLIERS STUART was much liked in the House of
Commons, and with his fair abilities and connexions
he might have been influential, if he had taken a
zealous part. He is extremely popular with all who
know him, and we have a sincere respect for him. He
does not, however, appear to be formed of that stuff of
which an Irish liberal member must be formed.,
Public life in Ireland is a more difficult game than in
England, where a man can entrench himself in public
opinion when once he has gained a prominent position.
In Ireland there is no opinion to sustain a man.
There his public character must depend almost solely
upon his own resolution and energy. Strong qualities
of personal ascendancy are absolutely necessary to
him who aims at influence in Ireland. There is no
place in the politics of that country for carpet politi-
cians, dub-house statesmen, and dilettanti loaners in
public life. Even the moderate politicians mast be
in earnest if they wish to procure immunity from at-
tack. What we say of the sister country is no doubt
true of any land where popular institutions prevail.
BURKE remarked the fact m his " Thoughts on the
Discontents." He says: " Public duty demands that
what is right should not only be made known, but made
prevalent." This conception of public duty does not
sufficiently enter into the minds of the aristocracy of the
liberal party in Ireland. Yet, after all, every earnest
and zealous citizen should have aproper zeal and anxiety
to make his opinions prevalent. It was in that kind of
public talent that Mr. O'CONNELL excelled. So also Mr.
Comm' periscopes admirable powers for enforcing and
diffusing what he deems right. Previous to his ap-
pearance, all the laws and facts relating to free trade
were " known " to all who cared to study the sub-
ject of political economy. Ills public action has
been to render the views of the rightly-thinking few
" prevalent " amongst tho careless and inattentive
majority, whe constitute society. So also the Mr.
BROUGHAM of former times peculiarly excelled hie
contemporaries in making right views prevalent over
apathy and indifference as well as over hostile preju-
dices. The beet pablio man is he who most vigo-
rously hammers, right views into the national taind ;
who can use both pen and tongue with readiness aa
skill ; who will neither cower before the yell of igno-
rant masses, nor falter under the sneer of the
frivolous indifferenoe of the saloons, but who
bravely holds on his manly course, nstained by
moral courage, and inspired by the lofty cause he
pleads. Such men our country has been fertile in
producing. The great public men of England, from
the times of the Long Parliament, have been remark-
able for their intellectual versatility and moral energy
Most of them possessed the mental qualities which
gain confidence in • cabinet, and procure sympathy
from a popular assembly. Nearly all of them were
distinguished by oommuiding force of character.
But in Ireland intellect and eloquence have beep too
often unsupported by the personal firmness requisite
for giving them due effect, though in that ccendel
reach more than here the combination is
The withdrawal of Mr. VILLIERS STUART at Water-
terd, sooner than engage in the vexations of a contest,
is only too characteristic of the Irish liberals.
In Cork county, upon the day of nomination, the
two conservatives were withdrawn. Mr. WHITE
HEDGES, of Macroom Castle, referred in his WHITE
to his name as a pledge for the conservatism of his
opinions. We dislike this trading on names which
prevails in Ireland. An am putting on the lion's akin
is a sorry might. It Was much easier for Mr. WHITE
HEDGES to assume the name and accept the estates of
that remarkable character the late ROBERT BEDGEB
EYRE, than to exhibit his courage, or manifest the ,
private virtues by which he redeemed the rankness
of his politics. Mr. Wgrre Hymns may be, as-
eured that his deceased relative, to whose shade he
appealed in his public added s, would have never de-
serted from any straggle in which Ae embarked, It
is the first time that the name of HEDORB hes been
borne in a political contest by a runaway. The. late
HEDGES ETRE was, during his life, the hero of the

" OH, that mine enemy had written a book !"-was
long since accepted as an ingenious form of male-
diction : and the self-exposure implied in the de-
nunciation has received a wide practical application
in oar day from the facilities afforded to the Ilbolieh
by the standing temptation of the periodical press.
The vast inexorable spaces of some of our eac tempo-
raries—whieh must be filled in the political &Mine-
' time with such food as the country will puoe—are
a perpetual snare to the weakness that might have
es raped under cover of the greater meehanicafrdiffi-
entity ; and "Oh,that mine enemy would write a letter
to the newspapers !"—is an expression of feeocity
daily 'receiving, we regret to say, its unwholesome
gratdication.
The Head Master of Winchester College' hue ful-
filled the curse:—he has written stetter to the tines.
A boy, it appears, has been all but killed—if hs,shell
ultiniately tern out not to have been killed—at Win-
ehmter • as many a hey has been before by 1h sys-
tem of fagging so long tolerated atourintblic schools.
In the present instance, however, neater tho pro-
bable death nor the present sickness has been ac-
cepted as a necessary consequence of the wisdom of
such institutions. The father resolutely refuses to
look upon hie boy as having been slain or disabled in
a useful educational warfare—according to the' rea-
sonable prescriptions of a code of honour for minors:
and an appeal to the public on the merits of
the system has been made through the co-
lumns of the paper in question. Suddenly 'sum-
moned to its defence, the Warden of the college,
after a little unsuccessful fencing with the 'facts,
wisely retired from the contest and the place, leaving
the matter to his lieutenant "In the absence of the
warden from Winchester," the Head Master has taken
the field, in a somewhat desperate spirit : and, warned
by the entanglement in which the system of his chief
was involving that less dashing tactician, has—not
more wisely, but at any rate more gallantly—" taken
1 the bull by the horns."
In Truism the head master is very strong.. He
utters propositions to which separately we give our
cordial assent. His plausibilities have a comfortable
and assuring sound for the fathers of the Winchester
boys. But he builds up his axioms apropos of nothing
—which is a somewhat idle occupation for a master of
a great public school ; and rides round the circle of
argument with a jaunty air enough—which our
readers know, however, to be an exercise leading to
no result but that of making the rider giddy.. In a
word, the Head Master of Winchester College shows
himself excellent at apothegm :—bat we hope logic is
not taught at Winchester under his direction.

We ;ill admit at once that the head master had
a very difficult case to manage; and that it is pro-
bable we should have acquitted ourselves quite as
absurdly in his position. But this admission can be
of no service to him who voluntarily undertakes the
advocacy of a bad cause. He who comes forward as
the defender of a disputed proposition should have
something like a reasonable defence to offer; and is
not justified in drawing imaginary figures to divert
attention from the real issue. The Head Master
addressee himself to a generation not so easily
answered by a few plausible fallacies as were
their ancestors not very remote. The fate of
that great educational institution, the Eton Mordem,
should have surprised him into the conviction that the
argument must be both sturdy and have some show of
sense, which should maintain the system of Lagging
against such inquiries as are directed now-a-days to
these auspicious fragments of the wisdom of the past.
He may be assured that the time bas come when his
is an almost impossible task who shall undertake to
persuade men that the fittest course for training the
heroes of future life is to teach them the vices of the
slave first, that they may learn those of the tyrant
after—to nourish on the one hand the spirit of
cruelty which results from the exercise of wanton
power bl unripe intellects, and the feelings of malice
and revenge which meet repay it on the other—
to check in the day of their growth the
generous impulses between boys thrown to-
gether which cannot develop themselves freely
amid the harsh artificial relations of the fagger
and the fagged—and to run the risk of entailing
broken constitutions and crippled frames by subject-
ing children at school to those hardships and dangers
from which we guard them so tenderly (and ration-
ally) in ear own homes. The doctrine belonged to
an Age of Iron ; when the boy wu to be made into
the fighting man—and military discipline was held a
higher gift than mental development. It is admi-
rably adapted to the education of savage►—,in case
the natives of the South Sea islands shall establish
colleges in time to anticipate amongst themselves the
Peace spirit which is making the circuit of the
earth. But that the virtues of natural courage, and
generous obedience, and manly endurance need
a training like this--or can come out of it in their
purity—is not to be taught to the satisfaction of this
meridian of time and place by all the doctors in
Winchester.

Accordingly, these ancient arguments are kept a
good deal in the back ground by the Head Master ; and
he tries a logical system of his own, adapted to ensnare
the reader by its confusion. The weapon with which
he plays is that known as " begging the question."
He sets up a variety of separate undeniable proposi-
tions,—and then requests us to assume their rela-
tion. He seeks to do that in logic which is mathe-
matically impossible ; conducts two unconnected
straight lines with perfect integrity,— relluirin!
in spite of their parallelism, that they should
meet. Mr. MOBERLY is of opinion that " where
a large number of boys, from 11 to 18 years old,
see assembled together, there is, independently of
all institutions, a great danger that strength will often
overrule and tyrannise over weakness." This first of
his propositions we accept without deduction :—but
find in it noreason why the danger should beconverted
into certainty by the " institutions" themselves. Mr.
MOBERLY is further of opinion " that if these ten-
dencies be left simply to themselves, a fearful amount
of cruelty, wantonness, said suffering will be cure to
take place." Here we have the pleasure of agreeing
with the writer again, and we deduce from proposition
2 that it Is his daty—and that of others having the
charge of youth--not to leave these " tendencies" to
themselves, but to make their restraint a portion of
the business of education. Then, Mr. MOBERLY con-
tends that it is impossible for him personally to have
his eye on every one of two hundred boys at every
minute :—and we agree to give to him, as to all other
governors, the benefit of a delegation. Qui facie per
olanejlseit per as is a necessary axiom in every kind
of oreseasairealth ; and a system of checks and de-
-I....r.bist ?art of the dunes of the masters of Win-
, as or others.—" I solemnly declare,"
sr Mr. MOBERLY, " that I could not bear the
1140 of having under my care 200 youths of such
venous age, character, parentage, and habits, if I
lad net the comfort of knowing that there was among
the= each gradation of order and autherity, such
well endatitood responsibility, and such established
obedience, or lead me to believe that protection is
enforced, order maintained, and duty done,• where
neither my own eyes, nor those of other masters, can
possibly en them:"—Now all this is precisely what
Mr. MOBERLY should feel and say; and we are de-
lighted to find ourselves travelling so harmoniously
along the line of his argument with a gentleman who
expresses himself thus satisfactorily. But arrived at
the end, we are in a difficulty. ;--and cannot accept
Mr. MOBERLY'S method of
getting out of it. By the
side of this straight line be has been running
nip .the figure of his Fagging System: and,
'Ns mks the two touch naturally, he eants a
