duration to the faculties of the child/mi. was a point
upon which the welfare tisociely most mategally depended;
it was a salsjoet which occupied a considerable portion of
the public mind. Mr. Owen 's plait of education was one
ehiefii *remarkable for the principle nfpreventing evil, it
being an adage 11,31 preservation was better then este. It
was of the utmost importance not only in chalk out the
path of duty fur the infant mind, but to direct It in Mt
te ark at a period sufficiently early. Education war to com-
mence, as it did at Lanark, at the early awe of two years.
He accounted for the thinness of the attendance, by remind-
ing them that there was a splendid review at Hounslow by
his M3jraty, end that the tickets of admission bring printed

The Resolution was carried with unanimous applause.
A person from the body of the room rose up In defend the
political economists from the attack of Mr. Tooke, pro-
fessing himself to be a student in that science. He thought
that a science which had engaged the attention of a Smith, •
Turps, • Stgismendi, sad a Ricardo, could hardly be enn•
sidered as a contemptible subject. He thought political
eeonumv one of the most important sciences among moo-
kind. He was glad to see an union of rank, properly, and
education envied in the humour work before the meeting.
Mr. OWEN returned thanks. He was in no hostility to
the leading political economists; he was on trims of per.
tonal friendship with most of them, though entirely op-
poor(' to their 'Wiwi,. His plans, however, were not in
opposition to their principles, but would tend eves by their
own reasoning to motive those evils which, as be thought,
they so vainly dreaded.
Mr. J. L GOLDSMID returned thanks fur the honour of
being chosen one of the Treasurers.
Mr. R. JONES,of Ctdelonsse, Devon (a subscriber of
5,0041!, moved the thanks of the meeting to Admiral Lord
Viscount Torrington for his able conduct is tbe their, whirls
was carried with acclamation.

Lord TORlllNGTON,areturning thank.. said, that he
hid visited Lanark, and could coiroborate all that had been
said upon the subject. No language could du jortice
Id the excellence of the arrangements in that establish-
ment. He would state one anecdote which came widths
hls observation. There wee a large mill which occupied
shout ),000 person'. There were full 800 between
Mures rad twenty years of age. They had a meet*, at
whisk they enjoyed music sad conveisatlon. He slipped
away from Mr. Owes when the meeting broke up to make his
sawn remarks, being of opinion that it was impossible but the
dissolution of so large an ansembly of the youth of both sexes
must be followed by some irregularities. He mingled with
the throng as they departed, bet he beard nothing our saw
auy thing but what indicated strict propriety and brotherly
lure for each other, and to ten minutes he would venture to
say every one of this multitude wa, lumped in at his or her
own proper dwelling. Whoever had witnessed what he had
seen at Lanark would have eiti doubt either as lA the beoe-
firent intention* of Mr. Oweu, or the excellence of his plan.

[EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTIII]

" A ;wrier from Bucharest brings intelligence of
kW invasion of Moldavia by the Russian troops.—
The Ottoman troops, it appears, are not in force,
or their plan of campaign is nut to defend the prin.
eipalitirs, for they are retreating with precipitation
upon the Danube, where all their forces are con-
centrated. In this position, then, the fate of the
Ottoman empire will be decided. The Tu►k.
carry death and destruction every where in thei►
retreat."

ligence we last published, may be, we think it our
