POLAND.

Warsaw, a large city, formerly the capital of
the whole of Poland, and now of the kingdom
of that name, on the Vistula, across which is a
floating bridge 1500 feet long. It is an open
town, and covers a great extent of ground, the
length of the town and suburbs being between
three and four miles, its breadth between two
and three ; but in this are included large spaces
occupied by gardens. The streets were long un-
paved. At present, however, considerable sums
are expended by government on paving, and
several of the streets are clean and well
lighted. The town is divided into the old and
new, exclusive of four suburbs, of which one,
Praga, lies on the right bank of the river. The
old town consists of one main street, with some
smaller streets joining it on either side. It is
miserably built, with the exception of a few
public edifices, such as the council house, St.
John's church, and a collegiate church, belonging
formerly to the Jesuits. The new town is less
badly built, and extends along the banks of the
Vistula, in a winding form, to the extent of
nearly three miles, including, however, a number
of gardens. It contains several churches, public
buildings, and barracks. Its largest edifice is
the palace of the Kings of the house of Saxony,
now the residence of the Viceroy. The exten-
sive garden of this palace forms the only public
walk of the place. The castle of Warsaw stands
near the river, and is a large quadrangle, with
halls where the two Houses of Parliament, (the
diet and senate) hold their sittings. It contains
several public halls, and is likely soon to receive
great improvements. The suburbs are less badly
built than the old town ; and Praga is niemor li
-
able in history for the assiults made on it in
the autumn of 1794, by the Russian army un-
der Suwarrow—assaults too nearly resembling
those on Ismail, in their fury and sanguinary
result. Praga was on that occasion almost to-
tally destroyed, and was long ere it rose from its
ruins. Now, however, (in 1822) it is rebuild-
ing on a neat and even elegant plan. Of the
castles or mansions in the vicinity, the residence
of Sobieski is still remarked for its beautiful
gardens and statues. Of the public establish-
ments of 'Warsaw, the principal are the offices
of government, which, since 1715, have re-as-
sumed the regal form. Towards the end of

It is then quite evident to you, that out of the
gross number of 5,286,070 male children in
France, only 1,320,911 receive education.
This lamentable state of things proves that
the schoolmaster is not abroad with us, as he is
with you, and that we want some of Lord
Brougham's primers, and some such 4, school-
masters" as your lecture reading, Ex-Solicitor
General Sir E. Sugden.
The law, then, which has been presented to
the Chambers, begins by declaring that primary
instruction shall be given to all the children of
France willing to be educated, either gratuitously
if poor, or for a moderate compensation if other-
wise, and that no longer shall the Communes of
France remain without spelling books and in-
structors. Primary instruction is to consist,
first, of moral and religious instruction ! Nay,
du not start ; we are not going to have the
children made Protestants, or Catholics, against
the will of their parents ; nor are they to be
whipped for not knowing " what is the chief
end of man." For the law in question has a
very proper proviso, that the parents are decide
whether their children shall or shall not receive
religious instruction. You will understand, then,
that this religious instruction is conducted by
the Priests in Catholic Communes, and by the
Protestant Ministers in Protestant Communes ;
and that the children will attend these ministra-
tions or not according as their parents may de-
cide. Primary instruction is next to consist of
reading, writing, a grammatical knowledge of the
French language, arithmetic, weights and mea-
sures, land surveying and drawing. These pri-
mary schools are to be established in every com-
mune, and those who are poor are to be gratui-
tously instructed, and those who are not are
to pay such sum as may be fixed on by the
Municipal Council of each Commur,e, and
which will, therefore, vary in amount according to
the prices of labour, rent, food, and dress in each
commune. Each primary school is to be placed
nailer the gratuitous inspection of a Committee,
composed of the Mayor, and President, and the
Justice of Peace of each Commune, and from
four to twelve respectable inhabitants, one-hall
to be elected by the Rector of the Academy,
and the other half by the Prefect of the Depart-
ment. One-half of these inhabitants arc to
e:llbe
and th
renewed or changed every two years,
dchberate•
least four present, in order to nstance,,_ at
must be, in a Cammittee of ten lo!•

Sub-Prefects, and the Mayors of adjoining
Communes, ar eto have the right of visiting and
voting in certaio cases. The Committee is to
maintain order, t o make known to the Rector of
the Academy (of the University), and to the
Prefect, the state and wants of the sehuols.
These primary schools may be private as well as
communal ; but still they are to be subject to
the same regulations and inspection. Every one
who enjoys civil rights is to possess the title of
establishing a primary school, or of being an in-
structor in a communal school, provided he
shall deposit with the proper authorities—lst, a
certificate of his capacity from the Rector of the
Academy where he has been instructed and exa-
mined ; 2d, A certificate of good conduct,
signed by the Mayor and three Members of the
Municipal Council of the Commune in which he
has resided three years.. On so depositing the
certificates, he will have a right to act as a pri-
vate instructor in a private primary school ; but,
in order to be elected as the instructor of the
communal school, he must be appointed by the
municipal -authority of the Commune, as the
Inspecting Committee is, very properly, not to
have the power of appointing a schoolmaster.
In Communes where there are no funds or
legacies which endow a school, the Commune is
bound to pay the expences. In that case the
instructor is always to be supplied by the Com-
mune with a school-room, and an apartment in
which to reside, and with, at least, the sum of
200 francs per annum. In those cases where
the Communes are so poor that they can-
not pay the expellee of educating the chil-
dren, the State is to contribute out of tht
Budget of the Home Department. The Mu-
nicipal Council of each Commune is also
charged to contribute towards the • necessary ex-
pellees. Of course the salary to the school-
master will depend, in amount, on the poverty
or wealth of the Commune, and on the number
of children to be instructed ; but it cannot be
less than a lodging gratuitous, and 200 francs
per annum. This sum alone would not indeed
he adequate to maintain a master, but there are
no Communes where some of the children would
not pay, and 201. a year, with an apartment free
of rent and taxes, may be put down as a mini-
mum of the remuneration. With this sum in
France a schoolmaster of the communal school
may be respectable. In order to provide for
the wants of instructors, who may, from old age
or infirmity, be prevented from giving instruc-
tion, the law directs that a sum equal to a
twentieth part of the sum expended annually for
the school shall be put aside and consecrated as
a Pension Fund—but no pensions are to be
granted before the Ist of January, 1836.
Finally, the proposed law provides for the edu-
cation of persons as teachers in separate institu-
tions, with the view of supplying at all times the
requisite number of instructors to the Communes
of France.

This is an outline of the new plan for edu-
cating the youth of this country. It is a great
work which it proposes to accomplish, and the
measure is good, because it is adapted to the
people for whom it is made. The same system
would not do in your country. There is a
spirit of aristocracy even in your small trades-
men in England. As to an English country
'Squire sending his sons to the same school as
his linen-draper's, why that is quite out of the
question ; and what would the Tories
say to Prince George of Cumberland being
brought up even at 'Westminster School ? With
us this is different—and these communal
schools will still further extend that principle
of equality which announces as a dangerous
truism, that " a cat may look at a King Fear
not, however, that this equality of mind means
equality of purse, nor that because the son of a
shoemaker shall conjugate a French verb better
than the son of a notary, therefore that he will
steal the young notary's hat or run away with
his books. 0. P. Q.

An association is proposed to be formed for
the encouragement of lit,r iture, by Assisting authors, who
cannot induce the great publishers to bring their works
forward, to appear before the public.

A SHREWD GUESS.—A lad delivering milk
was asked what made it so warm. " I don't know," re-
plied he, with much simplicity, " unless they put in warm
water instead of cold. "—New York Paper.

On Monday the despatches were closed at the
East India House, and delivered to the Pursers of the
following ships—viz., Thames, Capt in JAMES KEITH
FORBES, Bengal and China; General Kyd, Capt. ALEX-
ANDER NAIRNE, St. Helena, Bombay, and China.
A PLAIN ANSWER TO A PLAIN QUES-
TION.-A few years ago a couple went to a country
church to be married. When, in the course of the mar-
riage service, the Minister asked the bridegroom, in the
usual form, " Wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded
wife ?" he coolly answered, " To be suie I will ; I'm come
o' purpose."—

December was a merry month among the
widows of military officers, a vast number of them having
then re-entered the holy st ,te of matrimony, in order t
secure their pensions, of which, by the new regulations,
all those married after the 31st of that month are to be
deprived.

The misdeeds of the Liverpool electors will
be subjected to a severe scrutiny pn the meeting of Par-
liament. Several individuals who were active agents of
Mr. EWA KT, the Sitting Member, have been served wide
notices to appear before the Committee of the House of
Commons, appointed to try the merits of the petition
against that gentleman's return.

STEAM NAVIGATION.—(From a Corre-
wpondrnt.)—llis Majesty's ship ./Vorth Star, Captain
Lord Wm. PAGET, was met off the Isle of Wight by the
Thames steamer, (DoNNAN, Commander), belonging to
the Dahlia and London Steam Marine Company. The
NOI th Star, in consequence of bringing home the crew
of his Majesty's ship Slaney, was short of provisions and
water, and had suffered great privations for upwards of
10 days. On learning their situation, Captain DONNAN
took the North Star in tow, and in a few hours brought
her saftl) into Spithead.

TIIE NAME OF CHARLES.—France has no
cause to congratulate herself on the majority of her Kings
who have borne the name of CHARLES. CHARLES the
Bald was a capuchin King, and a visionary. CHARLES
the Fat was possessed of a devil, and died a fool.
CHARLES the Simple was worthy of his name. CHARLES
the Handsome was the enemy of canunerce, and travelled
nowhere without a carriage full of relics. CHARLES the
Wise, in one day, during tie times of the Jacquerie,
killed 20,000 of his subjects. CHARLES IX., the King
of St. Barthelemy, as MEZERAY tells us himself, shot
his subjects with his fowling-piece. CHARLES X., at
Holy rood, crowns the series.

SYDNEY, Jen, 31, 1830..

DEAR --, —Your letter, dated the 4th of Sep-
tember last., was 'delivered to me by —, who ar-
rived about the beginning of the month, after a very
song passage and a long stay at Swan River, and
every other place on the way they could stop at. I
thank you for the news you communicate, and with-
out further reference thereto, shall. proceed to tell
you w-,tt you require, to know of this place and
country it. return,. find that you were made ac‘
quainted with the lirst accounts I sent home, which
were beat so-so—however perfectly correct. The
Colony was then in a state of distress and privation
from an awful droeght of three years' duration, the
effects of which placed a gloom upon all nature,
animate and inanimate; but towards the end of the
fast year the rains returned, and have since continued
at intervals to refresh abundantly the parched fields,;
and nothing could form a more striking contrast than
their former and present state. In plate of ponder-
ing upon where our supply or food was to come
from, the question new is, where to export our sur-
plus to. The Change has come upon us like magic,
and must be incredible but to those who have had

the opportunity of witnessing it; the only embar-
rassment now experienced proceeds from excessive
abundance. You mast judge from facts, and these
are as followst-The climate is very similar to that
of Portugal ; the conveniences of life of every
kited are much the same as you would find in any
English town of teu thousand inhabitants, house-
rent and serrehts excepted, both of which are dear,
and with convict servants in general the trouble is
horrible. The boy I brought with me does ex-
tremely well, and has invariably done so; I consider
myself fortunate in having brought him ; I would do
the same in any such ease, and recommend to all
who tan to make themselves independent of convict
servants, although it must be confessed that servants
brought out here often turn out very bad. All
kinds of furniture and clothing are to be had here
reasonable; but the latter can never be had so
well as in London, by any one who is there present
at least. Boots and shoes are made here as good
as any where, and very little dearer than in Lon-
don. \Vine is here plentiful ; spirits also ; both
about on. -half the price they cost in England ; there
is now in the Colony, I am told, enough for ten
years. When I was coming out I was sadly in want
of information, and applied to man in London who
had returned from hence ; he told me such a pack of
nonsense about the want of so many things that I
could not encounter the task of supplying myself,
so I brought only my personal clothing, and if I were
to come again I would exactly do the same. You
have on landing the choice of many excellent hotels,
where the expence is very moderate, and where you
can remain with all convenience until more perma-
nently lodged. Furnished lodgings there are but
few, I mean at present, for sudden changes are com-
mon here in most things. I have an excellent
lodging, but rather dear, as it costs me in all 1001.
yearly. - is still at the hotel, where he tells !
me he pays at the rate of 50s. a week for his living,
lodging, and altogether, and finds it, he says, very
comfortable. Houses are increasing very fast, and
honesty also, I hope; so the two greatest disad-
vantages to strangers are in the way of being di-
minished. Money is very scarce; the usual rate of
interest, with good security, is 15 per cent. A man
of ordinary means should provide nothing whatever
coming here but his own personal baggage, and as
much money as possible. Our money is all British
coin now, in gold and silver, the cams as at London.

.
I used to be told that women were remarkably
scarce in this country, but here I never either re-
marked or heard of any such scarcity; there are
even old maids to be seen. I said that the climate
is like that of Portugal ; it is nearest to that of any
I know, but still more pleasant I think by far. The
heat of summer is not quite so excessive, and the
winter is just cold enough to have a fire ; but more
for the look of the thing than the cold, which can
always be overcome by exercise. The rains are at
intervals, and of short duration. The general
cure of the atmosphere, even in winter, is bright,
clear, cool, and invigorating. I have had a fire in
my sitting room since the Ist of May ; last winter I
had it for more than five months. The country in
the vicinity of this place is very poor and sandy,
but it is excellent riding ground, and for walking
there can be none. better; an advantage which, when
I remember Lisbon, I can well appreciate. I have

only about four minutes' walk tosea-bathing of the
best you can possibly imagine, and of which I avail
myself daily when the weather is warm ; this, with
riding, which I enjoy very much, and daily, is my
only enjoyment of an active kind, for there is neither
society nor amusement here of any description to
deserve being mentioned. The mere expense of
food here is very little, but an establishment to keep
up is very costly, and breeding goes on with a ra•
pidity unknown to all but this prolific land; in a
couple of years we shall be quite over-run with
horses, cattle, and sheep. Fifty sheep were offered
here yesterday for as many shillings, and refused.
Dogs got lately so numerous that Lisbon, in that
way, was not to compare with Sydney ; it was
reckoned that we had ten dogs for every inhabitant.
A little terrier bitch I brought from Ireland with
me has, in the short time I have been here, added
seventeen to the number, and in a few days will, I
think, make it up to five-and-twenty. It has been
found necessary to make a law for taxing all dogs,
and to make them be registered and wear collars ;
350 transgressors of this law were killed by the con-
stables in one day lately. All ladies who arrive here
in the family way are quite sure to have twins; and
many old apple and oysterwomen, who get into
trouble in London, and are made to visit these
shores, soon become happy mothers, despite their
grey hairs and load of years; a wise arrangement of
Providence, no doubt, in favour of a large vacant
country requiring inhabitants. If abundance of
food, as Malthus says, be the cause of an increase of
population, it is also in full effect here. Beef is
common at ld. per lb., and in many places id. a lb.;
mutton double that; and I see daily fish of 201bs. to
301bs. selling for Is. each. A gentleman told me a
few days ago that he went out for amusement to fish
lately, and by three hauls of the net took above three
hundred good fish, the least of them six pounds
weight. The cheese made here now is equal to the
best double Gloucester; I have even seen soap,
candles, and leather manufactured here to perfection,
and cheap. Furniture, and every thing in the way
of a cabinet maker, is to be had, made of Colonial
wood, in excellent style; indeed, nearly all trades
are in full operation here—all the useful ones, at
least—and the shops, many of which are splendid,
are well filled with all that you can see in that way,'
from Hyde-park-corner to Whitechapel. The lower
orders of people are sadly addicted to drunkenness,
and carry to excess the bluntness and insolence of
old John Bull. In the similarity of so many things
to England, and the facility of obtaining all that you
are accustomed to require, there is little to remind
you of being in a distant Colony— indeed the dis-
tance is quite forgot—and even were it not, it is by
no means so formidable to encounter as you may
think. For my own part, I found on the voyage
that the accommodation, the living, and the weather,
were such as one would fancy for a party of plea-
sure; and in the whole voyage I had no such incon-
veniences to meet as I have had every day on a
voyage to and from Lisbon. I am, in a word, quite
pleased that I came, quite contented to remain, and
have no great wish ever to remove ; the idea, at
least, of spending here the rest of my life has nothing
unpleasant in it, arid I may, perhaps, after some
time manage to buy a cottage for myself, and con-
sider it my final abode. This is, however, only an
ideal scheme as yet, requiring to be often recoil-
sidered. I cannot now go much farther; but I am
quite certain I might fare worse, and one of the
points of wisdom, which I hope I have derived
from my experience, is to know when I am well off,
at least I will try to do so. You will presume that
my present opinion of this country is grounded on
its present prosperous condition—the one and the
other may both change from a competent cause, as
they have already done. I have just read over the
foregoing to ■••--, why says it is all gospel; rand

the only remark he has to make is, that the necessity
of bringing out as much money as possible should
be in Italicks ; and that every one who can should
give the preference to a convict ship for coming eut
here, which is perfectly true. Clothing for the
voyage should be of two opposite kinds—for the
extremes of heat and of cold; and on providing it
you should understand this literally, for much de-
pends do it in the way of comfort during the voyage,
when at one time you will find the very lightest reo
much, and the warmest too little. Pray, what could
induce you to send me a letter without a newspaper
or pamphlet,;z,-or something of that kind in it. You
can have no idea of the value of such things at this
great distance—magazines particularly; and when
you write to me again, pray do not forget it. Should
you decide upon coming, give me as much previous
notice es you can, and I shall provide for you on
arrival. There is a great deal of thieving and
roguery of all kinds going on here constantly
amongst them ; but theseare things which I only hear
and read of, and have no annoyance for me whatever,
for the bulk of the people are too bad to permit of it
being otherwise. I thought to find the rising gene-
ration much improved, but not at all; the men are
shocking drunkards, and the women sadly disposed
to live a free life. The number of rogues who get
hanged here is quite extraordinary; they have been
at it lately twice a week, and there are generally
several at a time—sometimes as many as six, seven,
or eight. There is a horrid annoyance we are made
to suffer here at times—l mean that of the hot
winds. It has not occurred more than four times
since 1 arrived, and has lasted nearly .a day each
time. The whole atmosphere becomes like the
breath of a heated furnace, and creates the most
unpleasant sensation imaginable.
