where she left only his Majesty's ship Windsor
Castle, 76, the Hon. Captain Bouverie ; the Ad-
miral, in the Britannia, having gone with the
squadron to Algiers, to effect the release, as it was
supposed, of the Residents there, prior to the attack

the north end of Scotland, and of ascertaining the
true nature of the tides and currents in the Pentland

On Thursday last the ship's company of the Ga-
latea, 42, Capt. Charles Napier, C. 8., commenced
unrigging the-frigate at day-light in the morning.—

Notwithstanding the blowing weather of Tuesday
the American Packet Corinthian, for New York,
persisted in going to sea, with a full cargo of passen-
gers, and in defiance of a strong westerly wind,
made good her passage down Channel. We find
arrangements are making for establishing a similar
regular communication between this port and Phila-
delphia. _ .

THE JUVENILE LlBRARY.—Besides one or
two other collections of a totally distinct nature, Messrs.
COLBURN and BENTLEY are about to publish that great
desideratum, a Juvenile Library, in cheap monthly volumes
with suitable illustrations. The trueism that when the
young are removed from their schools, or studies, with the
character of having completed their education, they are in
general deplorably ignorant of almost every thing which
their immediate intercourse with the world requires they
should know, is too notorious to need argument. To
simplify information—to afford facilities to parents and
teachers—to prepare juvenile minds for more complicated
and extended relations than mere education (even with
all its modern improvements) has ever contemplated—
such are the subjects of this Library, which is formed to
supply a regular succession of volumes that shall be eligible
to place in the hands of the young, to guide their steps, to
strengthen their moral character and, by the great force
of example, to smooth their way to knowledge and its
concomitant happiness. The conduct of the work is to
be confided to the able Editor of the Literary Gazette,
assisted by a large circle of talented friends.
