LONDON, FRIDAY, AcousT 6, 1821.

By the Frankfurt Papers we learn from licnnanstadt,
that the Sultan has at last issued his Finnan to the Ilospo-
:kr of Wallachia for the abandonment of that province to
the Russian authorities. T. the zealous crusaders of the
radical pc/suasion, who have been offering up their prayers
fur the 'wising of the cross above the crescent, this must be
r•. oat gratif)icg titliitge. For ourselves, we are not in such
estacies as might be expected on this joyful occasion of the
triumph of Christianity over Paganism, as we look upon
the bearers of the cross and the disciples of Mahomct, in
this instance, as much on a par, both as to morals and ci-
vilisation, and cannot find in our heart to rejoice at any
s.:czesa that places the grasping power of Russia one step
nearer the Bosphorus.

The hest which we experienced here for some days,
about the middle of last month, has been felt much more
seve.ely out the Continent; and it appears that the storm
which we lately mentioned as doing so much hatm has
been much more extensive in its influence than was at first
supposed. At Cadiz, the drought and heat have been so
extensive, and of such long continuance, that yellow fever
is hourly expected to make its appearance among the garri-
son, which, with the camp followers, have crowded the
ei:y to a greater extent than usual. The French have
taken every means which the intimate knowledge their
SI VW:: possess of medical police can suggest, to avert and
resetigste the evil, by cleaning the common sewers, and
lidding the town of daughter-houses, and other nuisances.
This is so far good, but if the disease fairly makes its way
it:to the city, it will do more mischief to the French army
in one week, than the whole patriot force did since they
entered Spain. .

It appears from the Italian papers received yesterday,
that the heat in Italy has been excessive. On the 14(11
ult. the thermometer at Rome had risen to 280 Reaumur.
At Bologna, on the 16th, the heat was greater than has
been (*served since 1784, the thermometer of Reamnur,
an the Observatory, being at 318 on• line (109-4, of
Fahrenheit).

It has been found necessary to appoint Commissioners
to inquire into the state of education in Ila LA ND, and to
ascertain how far the schools existing for that purpose
promote the objects for which they were designed. The
individuals appointed to this important investigation are
every way fitted to the task ; but, in the present condition
of the lower classes in the Lister kingdom, we are not very
sanguine as to the benefits to be expected from what is
called "education," in the usual acceptation of that very
ve4ue and indefinite term. We have no objection to the
itipiry into the subject which Government has thought it •
espedie3t to set on foot; the design is laudable, and the'
result cannot fail to be useful. We apprehend, however,'
that it seta not Only discover how little has been done, but
how little ern he done towards that very desirable cud.
We do not here mean to lw under:total iltaking of that
education which consists in enabling the ragged children
of the 'allowing classes to read worth of two or throe syl-
lables, to cast up units and tens, and to write joining-
hand; all this is useful enough in its way, but to speak of
it as education, is to talk without any distinct meaning;
fur any practical purposes these materials arc worth no-
thing, as training the mind to useful reflection, and enabling
it to form for itself those principles of conduct which are
to be the guide and government of the pupils in after life,
and to make them good and honest membeis of the commu-
nity. Those whose lot is lahour, whose every hour is occupied
with providing themselves, and that but scantily, with the
means of aubellitionee, and u hose children, of both sexes,
bare no other prospect than that of toiling t u in the same
vault, struggling with the same difficulties, and suffering
the same privations ; what C3ll the interference of the Le-
gislature do, in the way df intellectual advancement, to be-
