when the writ was moved for electing a Member to
supply his place on his decerrse, no eulogiura had'been
pronounced in Parliament. His (Mr. Lambe) opinions
be could prove had ever been friendly to liberty, which
he had favoured to the extent of his limited means;
and his claims, he therefore thought, were egoal to
those of Mr. Hobhouse. For himself he would only
say, in the language addressed to them by Sir Samuol
Romijy, that he was a friend to the fume equal repre-
sentation of the people, and to the alunter duration of
Parliaments.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE Nif7rx
• • stvi:ri.rrn.,

ON THE MANNERS OF THE RISING GENERA-

'nON..

Sta—Every feeling mini niust with regret perceive
the daring and rebellions spirit that prevails in the youth
not only of this country, but also those on the Conti-
nent.. The consequences of this spirit unless subdued,
must inevitably prove of a very serious nature. Tre-
mendous meet be the fate of the youth who :thews this
untoward and refractory -digpesition. Ile begins his
career by flying in Oe face of his masters ; he centilitres
it by doing the same to his parents; he that proceeds
to otfinul the laws of his country, and cencludes by
violating the Le.ve and comnandments of his God.--
The principle is the same, thengh it varies in its object
and is dirt:sled to diffe.ent cede.
This want of sulentliation is sufficient to excite a
general alarm, particularly when we cou'emplete and
shudder at the dreadful increase of crimes of every
deseription, and chiefly that of forgery. The Sessions
in the Metropolis, end- the Assizes in our different
countries, cxhioit a ntelaucholy list of juvenile, nay
infantile °Tandem.
But by thou: of a well-regulated- mind, masters,
tutors, and go 'messes, if conscientious in the discharge
of their duty, will be regarded with esteem, and justly
considered as benefactors to their country ; their
patient and persevering exertions, the foundetion of
the future happiness of their pupils is laid. They are
in fact, loco parevilton ; and any grateful youth will
view them as such. It is a narrow and contracted no-
tion, and false in its principle, to assert, that when
instructors are paid by the parents of the children, nli
obligation ceases on their part, and that of their off-
spring, Payment by no means cancels the oblhgation ;
for the debt of gratitude can never be sufficiently paid
• to those who have toiled arid labeured in the arduous
and too often thankless task of endeavouring to en-
lighten the rising generation, and rescue it front bar-
barism and ignorance. I know not a more irksome
profession than that of a school-master. whether public
or private. It is that which is (us has bean remarked
on a late trial. by an eminent Counsel) perhaps pro-
ductive of most benefit to the Public and of least benefit
to the profenor ; for he has to struggle against pride,
obstinacy, and ignorant e, withont any material pro.
spect of fortuae or of (ante. Had the school-master and •
school-mistress merely to attend to instruction alone,
their labour would be greatly diadnished, but they are
unfortunately doomed to sustain the ag,grivating insults
of daring and refractory spirits, which spurn their au-
thority, and treat theta with contempt. Audacity and
effrontery are arrived at a formidable pitch, and I am
deeply concerned to say it, even among young females,
from whom we naturally expect mildness and gentle-
ness, the proper characteristic of their sex. Of these
viragos, or manlike ladies (as they are very aptly call-
ed) the Roman poet has, with just mud, pointed satire,
. .

It may now be Indica and with great propriety, from
whence this dr(aadfal calamity originates, and how it
may be rrprerseti. I scruple not to say, that for the
most part of it orh•inates in the weakness, fully, and
false indulgence ofparcnts, who have to thank them-
selves, and themselves only for the miseries which they
entail upon their et/spring. Hence arise that disregard
to parental authority, that insubordination, and that
want of revel: wilieh arc but too evidently manifested
in most families. 111 former times the youth of both .
sexes were kept more in the hick g:ountl.in the war-
sei-v, and not introduced into company, or, to us:: the
ine.dern fashiatiable. phrase,. broieght out, till bordering
ua the age of eighteen or twenty. l;at now, Master
or Miss make their etstree at the age of fourteen ord'Ocen, 1
when the. one can neither be treated like a boy nor the
other liLe a girl. A!rcter is permitted to sit till a late

those of harmony. To complete her accomplishments,
draining was not omitted. Specimens ef !tor correct-

The situation of the Nittnit-al Interests has become
rather alarming, from the determination of the Di.

consequence of a long discussiva having arisen upon alt
