T) foJowing paragraphs relative to taionaparte, are h.
ken fi omen interesting book just published, entitled " Jour-
nal of a Shit to South Ail ice, by the Rev. C. I. Latrobe :"
'• I vrillruote one instance of the effect of hil-ilisatisfact ion
Coif tlsisv,s of minor importance, which came to soy know.
kik, from hest authority. A butcher, ar Jitines.town,
r bK t,ted-tfrineiis ervueat for his table, being ut knell wearied
out with continual repetition of complaints, though he for
niched the best meat he could procirre, directed the following
laconic epistle to the Governor;—' Sir Hudson ! May it please
your Excellency, this same General Blionapaite is hard to
please. I beg to be excused serving him any longer with
meat.'

.• As he hates. Sir Hodson Lowe, the latter does not nn_
necessai ily trouble him with his presence,. hut delivers all
notices to him by Sir Thomas Heade, w hose polkiied manners,
good -humoured disposition, af.4, knowledge of ttl.t Italian
!angliage, which lieu. ti As said to prefer to French
in conversation, makes him a pleasant messenger. Sir Thos.
has therefore had more opportunities of becoming acquainted
with him iii the various Millions of his mind, than must Eng-
lishmen with whom he has cauversed.

" A :amid of great meanness is this, that he tt not give
credit to the English for any great wai !le says,
that by all the rides of win, fie ought to have g hued the hattle
of Waterloo, and that the Duke of Wellington ..1,01!, if he hail
been a good general, to have retreated, and nut made his
stand where he did. 1"..4, at other' tunes, feelins peculiarly
indignant at the Prussians, he, of course, will not allow them
to have had any eharc in the result of that adieu, but de-
scribes his defeat to the lir iiiii ess of the English infantry alone,
by which all his plans were disconcerted.
" General Boonaparte once observed to a gentleman, at
whose house he seemed to bear his lot with considerable com-
posure. that so imtuy. extraordinary things bad happened to
him in his life, which had happened to no other Mall, that he
should not he surprised if some time hence the Itritiab Govern-
ment were to recall him."

, THE I,Alez riUTIVEY'S LIBitARIP.—The Committer of
the House of Commons, who were di t ected to investigate the
propriety of porehasing the library of the late Dr. Burney,
have made 4 report, in which they strongly recommend the
acquisition of so impostant an addition to the public stock of
literature ; they stater that the vault cf the collectien as esti-
mated by tilt most coaipetent judges, is no less than I 1,5b01.,
hut that the proprietor is content to take 13,5001.: they,
therefore, deem the purchase to be reasonable, at the saute
time suggesting, that the animal grunt to the Mose ttttt should
for the time be suspended or reduced, in consideration of this
valuable accession to its treasures. We have nut room to
enumerate ant these curiosities in detail 1. but we cannot omit
to mention two or three of the must interesting. These are,
let, the manuscript copy of hunter's- hlet I, formerly belong-
ing to Mr. Townley, supposed to he as old as the Hth cen-
tury; 2d, two beautiful copies of the Greek Gospels, of the
19th and 12th centuries ; 3d, a complete zollteftion of the
dramatic literature of Greece, including every fragment and
every comaseut ; 4th, a dories of English newspapers, amount-
ing to 700 volumes,. from the yeior 1693 to the present time ;
.itb, a collection consisting of between 30a and 400 volumes
quarto, containing materials for a history of the stage from
1660 to the present time, and particulars relating ro actors and
dramatists; and, lastly, a collection of portrasts of actors,
authors, commentators,. and other learned persons, from the
latter part of Elizabeth's reign to the present day, amounting
in all to 7,000, 5,00 of which relate to the stage. These arti-
cles, as well as many others described in the report, ire not to
he got front any other quarter, at least in- such complete condi-
tion, and sonic oat at all. They are all well worthy of being
&pied ted.in the National MilSeilum, partly asillustrums speei•
melts of the Unite, talents, :rail industry of oue of the ',coy
first scholars- which latter times et least have produced; but
shietly as documents of the highest interest and importance
to the advancement of ancient and modern. Wenn tire.

Foie Etw•Seitrest.s.—AVe 1-hive the pleasnre to hear that a
seimul, the plairof the British and Foreign School Society,
was op-tied on the 9th of January last, whirls is
extremely well cunductekaiiil succeeds admirably. At an
examination which took on the 15th of March. not quite tea
weeks af,er the opening of the school, several of the scholars
who entered the first CliOS, U 1,4,1 did not know a letter,. were
advanced to the 4th and nth classes, mad the rest imps-owed in

and the children attend with a eltgeee of cheerfulness its.-
kausew its thus-chock on the old system ; in proof of which
we are taw med that the patents eau keep their children
in order only by threatening nut tOallosv them to attend the
school. .•$.41 increased attention is paid to tile cleanliness of
