MILE UNIV-ERSITY OF FRANCE.-
The Dunkirk College is in connection with, and tinder the imme-
diate direction of the University of France, and possesses for every
department of study able Professors, who, with the Principal, are
appointed by the University.
In addition to the classical department, the instruction comprises
the French, English, and German Languages, Book-keeping, His-
tory, Mathematics, Drawing, and Physical science.
Boys, are admitted at seven years of age- The Principal (a-
married man resident with his family in the college) exercises his
personal and unremitting endeavours to give an energetic impulse
to the studies.
Corporal punishment is excluded. Protestant pupils receive
religious instruction from Her Majesty's Chaplan at Dunkirk..
Terms for th-e above instruction, with sitting at the English
Church, and including Board and Laundry,
,are exceedingly
moderate. • • '

There is but one vacation, commencing in the middle of August,
though students can enter the, College at any time, paying only
from date of entry.' •
Dunkirk is a proverbially healthy place, and is a terminal station
of Northern of France Railway, and is in direct steam communica-
tion with London and Liverpool.

iug them acknowledged facts, or undisputed truisms, do not

or another, have led to' the' discovery of the true method of
teaching languages,"—Dufief.
...IVf ONS. RAGONOT (of Paris),- Author of the " Sym7
j_ bolizAnglo-French.Vocabulary,"• and of the " Easiest and
ortest Method of Learning French." The unsuccessfulness of the
prevailing mode of teaching foreign languages is proverbial; and
what other results can be looked for, when the teacher in general
considers himself justified in disregarding the laws of nature so far
as to endeavour to impart sounds. by the medium of the eyes, and
teaoh the science of a language before the pupil can lisp its simplest

accents With such a tlieoiy all human devices must necessarily
fail; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time. and
ineffectual rideavou,rs, from those who have laboured in vain ; and
the general notion that a language can be acquired only in the
countu.w)aere .it is spoken hence the despair of many students Of
the Frond lithguage of 'even understanding the rapid conversation
of natives of France. U •

All these deplorable consequences may be obviated by the natural
systbm of teaching languages adopted by Mons. Ragonot.
To carry out the system in its perfection, it is desirable that
several members of a family should take lessons together,. much
advantage being derived, from numbers.

PROSPECT US

THE LIVERPOOL REFORM CLUB.

CLUB HOUSE, 17, CLAYTON-SQUARI
NOW • OPEN.

The LIVERPOOL REFORM CLUB has been established for the pur-
pose of disseminating political knowledge, by means of Meetings,
Lectures, Discussions, and otherwise; and for the advancement of
enlightened Legislation, Parliamentary, Municipal, and Parochial.
DEFINITE OBJECTS.
I.—To carry out the Policy of Free Trade, and to resist
all attempts to reverse it.
2.-10 obtain an equitable system of Par.iamentai7
Representation ; an extension of the suffrage ; and
protection to the Elector in the independent exer-
cise of the Franchise.
3.—To promote the honest and enlightened administra-
tion of Loc ./ and Municipal affairs.
4.—To act as the Organ for the expression of liberal

opinion.

It is intended that the Club shall be provided with News Rooms,
and Publie Committee Meeting Rooms, together with such other
accommodation as the Council from time to time may consider
necessary for the convenience of the members, in order that the
Reformers of Liverpool may be induced habitually to assemble
ogether for the discussion of public measures and public men,—
expose abuses, and confer and co-operate for their remedy,—con-
stitute a rallying point from which the agitation of measures of
reforM can be directed,—and generally to render effective aid to the
Liberal party of each ward during the various contested elections
therein.

In order to promote the expression of public opinion, it is pro-
posed to hold Periodical Meetings of the members, to consider the
various political topics of the day, whether they be national, or
more immediately connected with the Town of Liverpool, whereby
the oortunity will by afforded of publicly discussing the measures,
pp ana the Representatives, whether Parliamentary, Municipal, or
Parochial, will have the advantage and benefit of the expressed
opinions of their constituents.

-- •
The entire absence, and consequent loss of power, of other than
individual communication between the Electors, and the Elected
has been long felt; and the utter want of organisation has virtually
deprived the Liberal party of its real sti ength, because that strength
has been allowed to remain unknown. These; and other defects, it
is expected the Council will afford easy means of remedying. The
advantages of such an institution must be manifest to all who take
an interest in public affairs, and cannot fail to merit the co-opera-
tion and support of the great body of the Reformers of the town.
On questions of a political and parliamentary nature, the direct
operation of the centralised force of such an institution will, it is
hoped, be recognised as a great and powerful auxiliary to the
Reform Association already in existence, without in any way inter-
fering with its valuable labours and usefulness.
The management of the Club is vested in a Council of sixty-four
members,—one half elected from the body of the Club in public
meeting assembled, and the remainder from the Wards, in propor-
tion of two from each Ward in the Town.
The Club will be registered under the Limited Liability Act; the
responsibility of members will be limited to the amount of their
übscriptions.

. -
Prospectuses may be had, and members' names enrolled at the
temporary offices of the Club, where further information will be
afforded. By order of the Council,
