THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.

"The principles of nature appear so simple, that many, considering
them acknowledged facts, or undisputed truisms, do not deem them
worthy of notice. Thus has been rejected the fundamental law,
that th.. ear alone causes the; rogue to move; for, had this been
duly reflected upon, it natts:, ut one period or another, have led
t, the discovery of the true method of teaching langaages."—
Duflof.
Q4llllOO G.aq ii9Trect r tirela9l43llj) °nrndqf
" Easiest and Shortest Method of Learning Fr.nch. The unsuceess-
fulness of the prevailing mode of teaching foreign languages is pro.
verbisl ; and what other results can b 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 teach the t clence of a language before the pupil can lisp its
simplest accents? With each a theory all human devices must neces-
sarily fail ; and hence the numerous complaints of wasted time and
ineffectual endeavours, from those who have laboured in vain ; and
the general notion that a language can be acquit ed only in the coun-
try where it is spoken; hence the despair of many students of the
French language of even understanlng the rapid conversation of
natives of France.

All these deplorable con3equenc3s may be obviated by the natnra
system 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 limbers.

GREAT FALL IN PRICE OF 13 13 fTER ! !

SlR,—Dnring the past ten days I have received 1,847 letters,
all on one subject, viz,—lnquiring the cause of my late
silence.

I hereby reply to the 1 inq•eries by another inquiry—
Could I expect any attention to be paid to my announce-
ments when the minds of all men (and some women) were
entirety occupied by the news of
THE WAR,
• THE BANK,
THE COMMERCIAL CRISIS,
PROFESSOR ANDERSON,

THE ELECTIONS ?

That reminds me that on Monday some well-wishers of
mine made, an attempt to dras me into th 3 Local Parlia-
ment —No go.—My idea is this,—

is The greatest divarshion in under the sun,
.‘ rs to Sell my LUMP BUTTER, and mind * Number One."

No, sir, when I make my " debut," it 511E111 not be in the
Town Council of Liverpool.

As the space in the NORTHERN TINES is now valuable, I
shall make my yarn no longer. For the present I will con-
clude by giving you an amended extract from one of the
American papers received last mail :

" Rents must come down, the high rates of the flash
" times of 1856 cannot long co-exist with the levelling ten,
dencies of 1857. Rents must come down--real estate must
come down—fast horses must come down—fast young
•' men must come down from their fast horses, and stretch
" their legs by a little wholesome walking. Provisions must
" comedown—hotel ch,rges mast come down—the pews and
"other charges of our fssifouttlie churches must come
" down—bread must come down, and the late enormous
spread of crinoline must come down, totwithstand:ng the
" awful letting down in dry goods. Even luxury and almost
" every necessity must come down to the new specie stan-
" dard, excepting—Wages—which ought to go np. Talk of
" coming down, we have been informel that ' The Butter-
" man' in Liverpool is now soiling his g3ods to sbns at a
"fall of 4 cents a pond fr ma the prices of last month.
Bravee, Butterman Excel for my b,y. Probably by
"this time, you are trail ng out pounds of good Butter in
" exchango for 9 cents."

Mr. Editor, your American cotemporary has gr,essed right.
