ESIABLISIIVENT OF THE SCIIO )1, OF IVDUS-
TRY ATIIOMEI., IN 1:(

The establishment of this :itstitution, for the ignorant and
destitute children (tithe !biometry of Hemel, in the government
of Mogilolf, was one of these etperiments which mra considered
as merely visionary schemes, until experience has placed their
practicability beyond a 'Wald.
On tbe Grid introduction of the British system of education
into Russia, 4r. Heard, an intelligent schoultnaater, was sent
out from England ; but arriving at Bowel°, the estate of Count
Bontanzolf, where Vie first sliced was to be established, an un-
foreaeep obstacle presented itself; not more than 3*r 4a)
hors could be collected in one village, and the t Wages were so
distant from each other, as entirely to preclude the possibility
of the children of one village attending the sch another.—
Coust Romantolf being informed that the ad get; of the
new system would not be conspicuous in a school of 10 boys,
and that 200 would be necessary to display it to advantage,
was quite at a lass how they were to be collected ; and this
circumstance seemed for a while to becloud Mr. Ile ard'a pros •
peels of success. Illa• t. g, in his journies through the different
villages of the COlllll.O estate, observed a number of children
miserably ragged and dirty, begging from door to dour, and
Lieu;; informed that they were urp:.ans who had no means of
support but by soliciting charity, he conceived the benevolent
plan of rescuing these pour little creatures from misery, igno-
rance, and vice, by the establishment of a school of industry, in
whit i they mig:d, by their owe labour, contribute something
towards their support. This plan was objected to by many, as
being impracticable : the chief objection urged was, that the
children, being accustomed to a li,et of vagrant idletteas, could
never be brought to contribute, in any material degree,
toward their own support. But, fortunately, the two principal
persons of the ; lace were of a different opinion, and upon a
roper statement tieing solute to Count Romani:off and Ceneral
Tlerabint, it was resoled to erect a large building fur the ac-
commodation of the boys ; end to enclose a considerable piece
of land fur a kitchen garden, in which they were to labour
doting the summer season. The erection of the building ne-
cessarily occupied a considerable time, but the Count granted
Mr. the use of the right wing of his own house, and be
sonatricied .ill boys from the sillages ; the barbarous rude-
ness of their manners correspond, d witb their miserable ap-
pearance; the generality of them had long lily hair, swarming
with vermin ; ditty laces, and tattered gaiments which scarcely
covered their nakedness; nn slim a, nu stockings ; their looks
were expressive of huit,;er and misery. Such were they, and
such would they have continued tube: accestonted to a wan-
dering, idle, vicious life, and quite until tiny useful alter-
ation. they would have turned out pests lu society, had they
nut thus liven rete.:Ued from the ally as Id winery by Ile benevo-
lence of their noble master, who vidaell these miserable orphans
is habits of industry, virtue, and happiness. About a fortnight
afterwards they were all neatly clothed, end on the 9th of Dec.
the edited was publicly °tooled and coneecrated accord-
ing to the rites of the Creek clench. The ragged little beggar
were now metamorphosed into dean orderly scholar:, whir

penance. They had all by this lime learned the alphabet, aid

younger and more feeble were employed be splitting the bark
of the linden tree, others in plaiting it into shoes ; some platting ,
straw for lima, others preparing willows for snaking baskets,
and some h•td It:aimed to mak,' fishing nets. The hour of
assembling in so.iool during the summer was seven in the
morning, and they came out again at ten ; three hours in the
day being amply sufficient to teach them reading, writing, and
the four first rulea of arithmetic, in two years ; from ten to
eleven they were a lowed to play ; at eleven the dinner bell
riiiig, and they proceeded two uud Iwo to the dining room,
where grace was distinctly pronounced by the monitor of the
day, whose duty k was to read to his companions, while eating
their dinners, a portion of the Holy Scriptures. At twelve
they arranged themselves in ,lasses, according to their em-
ployment, and proceeded to their dilferent masters to work,
from which they generally returned about eight in the evening:
at nine they supp..il, and immediately after supper their names
were called over by the monitor general, and those absent
marked down for enquiry the following day. This being done,
■nd the Evening Hymn sung by them, they retired to rest.—
Eight months after the opening of the school, Inure than 60
children went in procession to their benefactor, Count Roman-
:soli, dressed in clothes suit shoes of their own making. His
Excellency on this ovcasion ordered them a br tier dinner than
usual, and promised to partake of it with them ; which promise
lie fulfilled, to the inexpressible pleasure of the poor children
Fruill this time the institution continued to prosper, and even
those who had opposed, joined in praising it ; the children
made rapid progress, butts iii,learning and their trades, and be-
came cheerful, obliging, and industrious.
A strict observance of die Sabbath was not forgotten in the
institution, and that part of the day not spent in church was
appropriated to reading extracts from the Holy Scriptures.
By means of the school at Ilomel, the British sy strut of edu-
cation spread to Poland, where hitherto the strongest prejudices
had existed against instructing the twasatitry. Nr. Raituvitcli,
tr young man of at, amiable disposition, was sent by the Uni-
versity of Viltio to study the system, which lie did with the
greatest assidnity ; and soon rafter his return, three schools
were established for the poor upon this plan; and according
to the last accounts (coin thence, they were actively employed
in the establishment of more.

LOSS OF HIS AIAJESTI-'S SLOOP 1110EMORSE.

Accounts were received on Saturday at the Ad-
mirals". of the loss lids d lojesty's sloop Racchurse,
Captain Stickling, in attempting to enter the har-
bour of Douglas, Isle oF Man, on the night of the
11 h instant. The following letter 0.1 the subject
will be tinina interesting :
vessel had been ordered from the Plymouth station to
the Isle of Man, as convoy for the riiritaitt cutter, Lieutenant
Read, which bad been disabled in a beast' gale in Douglas
Bay, on the Oth of October, and obliged to cut away her mast
lied throw her gulls overboard; she was with much difficulty
brought into the harbour there, and, after having undergone a
temonary repair, was to hove proceeded to Plymouth under
convoy, as it cove staled. The Arc -hers' left Nfilford-flaven
early on Saturday winning, the 14th inst. After taking 101111
on board, elle proceeded for her destination. They made the
island betw.eon two or three 11311.; but the weather bein thick,
and the night pitchy dark, die pilot, it is supposed, on nearing
the shore, mistook the Bay of Castletown, whirl, is very ti•
pacieue, for that of Dangles; and shout half past five, when the
land was descried close to them, in attempting to enter the
le.y, the vessel struck upon fatigues* Point, which is sur-
rounded by tremendoue maul almost perpendicular rocks. All
hopes of saving her was at once given up, and she filled in-
st. Italy, and the pumps became totally useless. Guns of dis-
tress, with rockets, false fires, and other signals were made fur
assistance from shore ; but the wind blowing directly into the
hay, and being rather fresh, two boats only could be 'uncured
Wit would venture out to their assistance, whid they did with
lanterns in their bows ; and many of the inhabitants rushed
Guar the town, in a utost dismal eight, to the bead, which is
full three miles from it, and over the greatest pert very den-
gerous, from the rocks and broken ground to he passed, ail
this in the hope of being useful to the unfortunate suiferers.—
At the dune she struck, the Captain and S,:taior Lieutenant were
both on deck, and it appear: that no fault whatever can be
attributed to the officers on this melancholy occasion.
•' It now became necessary to save the lives of the crew ;
and such was the excellent discipline on board the ship, that
not a man quitted her withotit orders. Vt, e understand that
the captain had the roll called of the crew, and on each titan's
11:11111., bring called over, lie stepped into the host, when an
officer was named to descend and take chat ge of it, and to land
if possible among the rocks, ut which there appeared lint little
hopes, as the sea was treating over them with .great violence.
Happily for all but the last boat, this difficulty was completely
overcome, ns by this time fires were mole with straw in dif-
ferent directions near the wreck, where there was any hopes of
their binding in secirrity.
• The Captain, First Lieutenant, and a Master's Mate (Mr.
Bone), came by the last boat, which, unfortunately, was rather
et owiled, and consisted of ..tenteen persons, Capt. Snckliwg
being the last 111:111 who voided the ship. Whet, at some dis-
tance fr the rocks, the boat unfortunately upset, by which
ajl were left to shift for themselves. The Captain, being a gumd
000000 er, was saved with much difficulty ; as were the bieute-
neat, some of the sailors, and some of the boat's crew ; but
Mr. llono, the fisherman who commanded the boat (which was
one Dint went out to their assistance), live of the crew of the
Itareloort, and two men belonging to the hoot, were unfortu-
nately drowned, snaking a total of nine p !mons who perished on
this melancholy occasion ; and when all citiainistances are con-
sidered, it is wonderful that 110 more lives were lost.
tfy this sudden eatestroplie the ollic;rs lost every thing
hot what they had on their barks ; yet the object that crenthe
conimineration is the widow of the fisherman she c iiiii tivireiled
the boat, aunt 101 gallants 101 l Isis life on the occasion ; she hail
just been delivered of her eighth child, and has, by there

La w IirI'ELLIGENCE

COURT OF CHANCERY.
TUESDAY, DEC. 23.
IN THE MATTED OF TODD, RUSSELL, AND ()VIERS
BAAKitrrTS.

Mr. Cullen begged to muse, that the bankrupts' certificates
might be at aged in this matter.
Mr. Montague rose anti stated, he 114(1 to oppose that motion
as it had lung been laid down as a rule of the Como, that no
motion should tier be permitted to be made iu matta:rs of bank-
ruptcies.
Mr. Cullen replies!, that strictly speaking it was not a motion
for in fact it was a petition, which lie held is his hand, but ns
the court was just rising for the Christmas holidays, he felt it
necessary to mention it in the shape of a motion, because before
the Court sat again, in all probability the bankrupts would base
got their certificates, if out prevented by the interference of the
Court to (lay.
iris Lordship—When was your petition presented ?
Mr. Cullen—lt NILS wily drawa this morning; therefore it
was impossible we could have come here earlier. My clients
are creditors to the amount of 10,0001.—they have pressed their
under the comniisaion—and we now pray that the clan( e
of assignees may be postponed until the petitimi can be fully
heard, so that the bankrupts may out new be permitted to 04-
taiti their certificates.

Mr. Montague contended, that there was nothing more de-
cidedly established in the Court of Chancery than that such a
motion as this lo hould not he a lowed to be made ; and lie wus
firmly of opinkm, that if all the facts of this matter were known,
not only hi. Lordship, but every person who Lad attended to
lie practice of the Court, would immediately see the wisdoms
of this rule.

His Lordship—Viet are certain!. at liberty topresent a pe-
tition, praying that it may tie nears on au early day. I there-
fore will tale the petition and read it, and aft,ir I base dons
that, I will then ace wlieGterit is proper and necessary to ap-
point un early day for it ; if s,, 1 shall do that ; but if not. I
shan't. But let it lie remembered, that from henceforward no
motions in matters of bankruptcies will be heard.
Mr. Montague than mused that the present motion should
be dismissed with costs.

Ilia Lordship said that he wash! retterre the consideratioe
of whether he would nut allow them 20s. cwt• until he had
the petition.

I. VIE MATTER OF IlnicAßD NANKRUPTS.

111.. Nlontague entreated his Lordship would pardon him for
mentioning this most terrific name, but us the parties had pre-
sented a statement of the costs in this niqtter some time 540,
they wert most anxious that his Lordship would turn his atten-
tion to it.

His Lordship said tint was one of the petitions which now
laid upon his table with that very view, and he would not love
any more time than lie could possibly help in attending to it.
Lordship then left the court for tile recess. The first
seal will be on the 16th of January ; on the lath of which
lie loss apiminted to sit and give judgments. and he.:
mutters iu bankruptcy. And it is expected his Lordship w
come down even before the 19th of January, to meet the p is-
slams and counsel in the Portsmouth case.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
(Sittiays before the Lord Chief /ratite.)
Alt/NI/AY, DEC. 23.
T 11E KIM; V. lIAKER.
nig waS an indictment against the defendant for digging op.
and caririing away the soil ur certain roads, w hich are intended
to beco.l.e streets, !railing to the Jews' burial ground, at
_ _

Al Marrystt and Mr. Chitty conducted the cue fo• the pro-
secution. The defendant is a bricktnaker in a very extensive
way at NI:le-end. The roads in question are chielly used by
Idea. The charge of the prosecution was, that the defendant
carried away the mil of these roads for hi., own onrnoses,
namely, In make good the surface of filled up pita made by Ma,
in procuring the clay to make bricks and it watt ,
bish, thereby lowering the road, mid depriving it of its soil.
For the defendant, :tint:minim, Sergeant contended that it
was the defendant's interest to keep the roads in repair, and
that unless the loose mould was taken out of the ruts and
thitlille of the road, and other hard sult.,lances put in its place,
they would become impassable, and that the defendant had
dune no enure than this, which be proved by the defendant'► sun
and workmen. _ _

The leorolChief Justice stated to the Jury, that if the defer•
daut had deprived the roads of their soil for his own private
purpo,es, and put in its bleed rubbish, at the injury of this
roads and ireuurt nicncc of the politic, they must find the de•
Pendant guilty ; but if he only took such boil from the road so
as to replace it with something firmer, for the good attic roads,
they must find him not guilty. Ve►dict—not guilty.
