BRASSE'S GREEK GRADUS.
A New Edition, 18s. Bvo. bds.

To which is added, a Synopsis of the Greek Metres, by the Rev.
J. R. Major, Head-Master of King's College School, London.
fl REEK G It A D U S;
-Or or, GREEK, LATIN, and ENGLISH PROSODIAL
LEXICON. For Colleges, and Schools.
By the Rev. J. BRASSE, D.D.,
Late, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
It has been the object to present, in a comprehensive form; a
Manual, containing the interpretation, in Latin and English, of
such words as occur in the principal Greek Poets ;—the quantity of
esch syllable actually or virtually marked;—an authority quoted
it the existence and quantity of each word in those writers ;—and
I hose terms set down as synonymous which appear to bear a simili-
tilde in sen'e to the principal word. The Works of the Greek
Poets have been examined, and such epithets and phrases annexed
to each principal word as are of legitimate usage, and seem best
calculated to embellish Greek composition.
This Gradus will suffice for the reading of the Greek Trage-
dians. _ _ .

" The indefatigable application required in the compilation of the
Greek Gradus is manifest ; and we heartily recommend the work as
supplying a desideratum in our School Books, and likely to be ad-
vantageously used to a very wide extent."—Literary Chronicle.

HAMBURGH; Ma acir 18, 1836.
TTEINE BROTHERS, CONTRACTORS
for the GREAT LOTTERIES Published and Drawn by
authority, and under guarantee of the Hamburgh State, beg to in-
f.)rm the Public that the SIXTY-EIGHTH LOTTERY of 10,000
Tickets will be drawn oa the 23d June next, and Tickets arc now
selling at bancomarks 108, or 81. say Eight Pounds, sterling. The
Prizes are 1 of 100,000, 1 of 20,000, 1 of 15,000, 1 of 10,000, 1 of
..1,000, 1 of 7,000, 1 of 6,000, 1 of 5,000, 10 of 1,000, 35 of 300,
:16 of 165, 234 of 150, and 1,995 of 108 bancomarks; which 2,316
Money Prizes are altogether payable without any deduction what-
, ver, and every holder of a Ticket coming up : one of the 2,000
first drawn Blanks will be entitled, after the fourth day of Drawing,
to the receipt of two undrawn Tickets, gratis, as per scheme.
Owing to the Gratis Tickets, the number of Tickets on Sale i,: a
very limited one, so that of course they will be cleared off very
rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to
purchase at the present First Price of 81., are requested to direct
by one of the first mails, but only for whole Tickets, to the above
named Contractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg, who beg to de-
cline, as usual, English orders for any thing less than a whole
Ticket. To those remitting a 101. note, Heine Brothers will, on
executing the order, send an order for the balance of 21. by return
of post. A full Scheme and every desirable information being al-
trays sent with the Tickets ; those giving orders will only have to
write a line ordering the Ticket or Tickets, adding the money, or
an order for the same, and giving their full and plain directions, to
secure the safe receipt of the communications.
Those honouring Heine Brothers by purchasing, may depend on
their strictest secrecy as to their taking a chance or getting a Prize,
such being the undeviating rule of the old established and most
lucky office.

tleman—startling as were the facts, and undisputed as were
the authorities by which he supported his arguments—it
must b 3 admitted that the tone of the House of Commons
was decidedly adverse to hostilities with Russia. On both
sides of the House, and by men of every shade of opinion,
was a war—which eventually must take place—deprecated
as an evil which ought only to be resorted to in the last ex-
tremity. We approve of this caution on the part of our
Representatives ; but in the present instance, we are per-
suaded they will soon find to their cost, that they are car-
rying it too far. The way to avert a war with Russia, is not
to anticipate its terrors, and then turn pale at sight of the vi-
sion conjured up by our own fears and fancies. To avert a
war we must be prepared for it ; to prevent hostilities, we
must take measures to hinder the perpetration of those ag-
gressions which would legitimize it in the eyes of Europe.
Will any Member of either House of Parliament have the
hardihood to affirm, that England could not have prevented
the downfall of 'Poland, without levelling a single gun
against a Russian garrison ? It is not war, but firmness
and energy in our foreign policy for which we have been
mainly contending since the accession of the Whig Cabinet.
That firmness and energy would have saved Poland—would
have compelled the CZAR to abandon the treaty of Unkiar
Skelessi—would have prevented the occupation of Cracow
by the three Powers—and would have hindered Russia
from issuing those quarantine regulations by which she has
succeeded in all but annihilating our trade on the Da-
nube. As Mr. STEWART well observed,—" while
we are quietly looking on, and seeing danger as at an im-
mense distance, or regarding it only with the eye of an
alarmist, Russia is steadily pursuing her aggressive po-
hey, dangerous to the' peace of Europe, and injurious to
the commercial interests of this country." In fact, our ap-
parent unwillingness to draw down upon us the wrath of
Russia, is hurrying us headlong towards that precipice which
the ROEBUCKS and the WARBURTONS cannot think of with-
out horror. The country may rely upon it, that the speeches
of our Parliamentary peace-preservers will greatly accele-
rate the war with Russia—happen when it may. Russia
‘vill be sure to attribute to our fears, councils originating in
excessive caution ; and the natural consequence will be,
that she will multiply her aggressions to such an extent that
we will be compelled to take up arms to defend ourselves.
Thus, after we shall have first tamely submitted to the loss
of our honour, we shall be obliged to take the field to pre-
serve our political and mercantile existence. •
The present is hardly a fitting time for re-opening the
question of the downfall of Poland ; but it is impossible not
to be persuaded, that the resuscitation of that kingdom is
absolutely necessary to the restoration of the European ba-
lance of power. The CZAR is not only nominally Emperor
of all the Russias and King of Poland, but he is virtually
Sovereign of Greece, of Turkey, of Egypt, and of Persia.
The Sultan MAHMOUD and MEHEMET ALI are but the
first of his vassals ; and OTHO he regards as a trouble-
some, but helpless neighbour, whom he expects to expel
from Greece as soon as, the first shots are exchanged be-
tween himself and Great Britain.

There is one class of persons whose interests begin to
be affected by Russian aggression, from whose public spirit
we have reason to expect the best results. We allude to
the British merchants. When this feeling of excessive
aggression becomes general, we may calculate upon the
manifestation of a spirit of public indignation, which Par-
liament will hardly be able to controul, by magnifying the
power of our Barbarian Despot. England's vitality is
her trade ; and the CZAR cannot take a more certain course
to provoke hostilities than by attacking British commerce.

Sir ANDREW AGNEW, WO perceive, brings forward to-
night his motion for, what he calls, the better Observance of
the Sabbath. We can anticipate much of what he will say
,on the occasion, and also predict pretty confidently the fate
of his motion. He will tell us that the lower classes of society
are altogether demoralized, for that instead of cultivating a
long Sunday face ; spending the Sabbath on their knees ;
:Ind eschewing the abominations of a walk in the green
fields, a drive in the hired chaise, or a refreshing glass of
beer, with a little social chat to flavour it, on the bench
outside the village alehouse ; the sacrilegious wretches insist
on being happy, and indulging in all sorts of innocent, health-
ful recreations. Our modern Maw-worm will then launch the
thunders of his wrath against the Sunday shaving, and Sunday
baking system ; call upon the House to excommunicate all
those irreverend legs of mutton that are detected in the oven
on the Sabbath ; and visit with condign displeasure every
atheistical horse or donkey that presumes to walk, trot,
canter, or gallop on that holy day. And how will the
House receive this ghostly invocation ? Why, with shouts
of laughter, to be sure ! Cant may succeed in the conven-
ticle, but thank God, it is not yet in favour with the House
of Commons. Besides, Saint ANDREW is a one-sided
Saint, who can see iniquities in the poor, which he cannot
see in the rich ; and this is another reason why the House
will reject his motion with contempt. We have no tolera-
tion for those partial, purblind, mincing Puritans who hesi-
tate at a gnat, while they bolt a camel. If laws are to be
enforced for the better observance of the Sabbath, let them
be enforced against all classes equally. Do not clip the
wings of the peasant's or mechanic's enjoyment, while you
leave the wealthy and the titled in the full possession of theirs.
If you must shut up the baker's oven, and the barber's
shop, shut up also the West-end clubs and hotels, and
place a dozen policemen at the gates of Hyde Park. Surely
as numb consideration is due to the pale face of the over-
tasked operative, as to the smooth, smiling visage of the in-
dolent Dives ! True justice makes no such ungenerous dis-
tinctions as Saint Andrew would make. It has an eye to
the happiness of the many, not the few. It does not make
one law for the smock-frock, and another for the ermine
robe ; but sees fair play between rich and poor, between ple-
beian and patrician. If our Saint of Saints will insist on per-
severing with his motion for the Sunday coercion of the
vulgar little, why, we must endeavour to persuade Mr.
HUME to right the balance, by bringing forward another
for the Sunday coercion of the vulgar great.

We have always admired the exquisite tact displayed by
the leaders of the Orange Societies in England on the dis-
covery of their nefarious designs. As soon as the Parlia-
mentary investigation, so indefatigably and ably conducted
by Mr. HUME, had unveiled their secret plans, and
brought home, to sonic of them at least, the knowledge of
a plot for altering the succession to the Crown, they
availed themselves, promptly and dexterously, of the loop-
hole offered for their escape by the lenity---the ill-
judged lenity we must call it —of the King's
Ministers. In obedience to the opinion expressed
by the House of Commons, and in compliance with
the wish hinted by his MAJESTY in his gracious answer
to the Address of the House, they instantly dissolved the
Association. The whole fraternity on this side the water
was broken up in a moment. By this apparently humble
deference to the Representatives of the people, to the will of
the Sovereign, and to public opinion, while at the same time
they solemnly protested against this act being considered
as an acknowledgment of the truth of the charges brought
'against them, they escaped the certain ignominy of being
dragged before the public tribunals, and the scarcely less
certain punishment which would have followed such a

proceeding.
How different has been the conduct of the Orangemen
in Ireland ! Equally guilty and equally conscious of
guilt, they had not sense enough to adapt themselves
to the new situation in which they were placed, by
the unreserved and unanimous dissolution of the Eng-
lish Associations, and by the recommendation of the
Imperial Grand Master, that they should follow the ex-
ample. No, they blustered and swaggered—swore that
they would not dissolve—and even had the ridiculous
effrontery to assume " No surrender" as a motto ; thus
placing themselves both in word and deed in a state of
hostility to their SOVEREIGN, the supreme executive branch
of the Constitution, as well as to the law of the land.
It is true they did all this as "loyal subjects, and religious
Protestants ;" but when did treason act otherwise ? Loyalty
and religion are its watchwords, and have ever been so.
It is by the hypocritical employment of these much abused
terms that it imposes upon the ignorant, and decoys the
ncautious into its toils ; while its settled and secret pur-
pose is to trample loyalty under foot, and to set the very
fundamental principles of the Christian religion at de-
fiance. Such arc Orange loyalty and Orange Protes-
tantism, when rightly interpreted.

Thank Heaven, these nurseries of crime, these hotbeds
of all evil, the Orange Associations, are at last extinct in
all parts of the kingdom ! It is also matter of public con-

gratulation, that in Ireland where their baneful influence has
been chiefly felt, they have died as the felon dies, obdurate
and impenitent, cursing their fate, and making their guilt
more clearly evident by their attempts to conceal it. They
have yielded to the power of the law—but after they had
sworn to defy it. They have struggled at the very foot of
the gallows, against that authority which it should have
been their first duty to obey.
As it is desirable that the true character of these pests of
their country should be handed down to posterity, we re-
commend the following lines—evidently intended for the very
purpose, though written 60 or 70 years ago—as an epitaph
to be engraven on their tomb :

These rebels varnish'd o'er their cause
With specious colouring of laws ;
These pious traitors drew the knife,
In the King's name, against his life !

Our readers will find in another part of The Sun a let_
ter, dated Vittoria, addressed by Colonel EVANS to the
Electors of Westminster, wherein he gives a most cheering
account of the QUEEN'S cause in Spain,, observing, " to
the lasting honour of the Grandees and higher nobility,
with at most, I believe, one unimportant exception, they
have espoused, on this great occasion, the cause of Re-
form, of their QUEEN, and country. Of the loyalty of the ma-
jority of the people, the cheerfulness, the alacrity, and perfect
good-will with which the recent levy has been accomplished,
without the slightest compulsory means, appears to me to be
an ample, practical proof. As to the respectable middle
classes, in all the towns of the least consideration, they are
as one body, scarcely even excepting those of the insurrec-
tionary districts, heartily devoted to the general good." The
Gallant Colonel then proceeds to give some details respec-
ting the condition of the Carlists, whose resources, he says,
" are exhausted and dried up," and who are now " becom-
ing outnumbered by the QUEEN'S forces, in the propor-
tion probably of three or four to one, though they as yet
occupy an advantageous control of the theatre of opera-
tions—consisting of an immense group of mountains, which
by their peculiar configuration may be considered almost o
the character of a fortress, or of a series of strong positions.'
Notwithstanding this, however, Colonel EVANS states that
the entire overthrow and dispersion of the Carlists is cer-
tain ; and that he hopes at " no distant period" to be ena-
bled to return to England, and resume his duties in the
House of Commons. On the subject of the British Legion,
he expressly states that scarce one of the rumours of
late so industriously spread abroad respecting its disor-
ganized condition are true. "It is now," he ob-
serves, "in perfect service order, and presents an
excellent appearance. Its discipline and subordination
are most satisfactory, and in point of exactness and rapidity
of evolution, there are no troops in the army of any nation
who equal it." Equally satisfactory are the Gallant Colo-
nel's remarks respecting General CORDOVA, who, so far
from showing the slightest jealousy or coldness, has on
every occasion, co-operated with him in the most cordial
and efficient manner. But, indeed, throughout his letter,
Colonel EVANS refutes in the most triumphant manner all
those calumnies which the Conservatives have endeavoured
to turn to account in Parliament, and particularly men-
tions the Stock Exchange rumours of London and Paris, as
being unworthy of a moment's serious consideration.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Tuesday have been
received. They contain no political intelligence of impor-
tance with the exception of the following :
We have stated that a summons had been sent to the Poles
who had signed the Act of Confederation. We had hoped
that the temporal appeal of General Soltyk to the pro-
tection of the Government, coming from an old soldier
who has signally distinguished himself in the French and
Polish armies, would prevent any arbitrary act. We were
mistaken, and we have to-day the melancholy certainty
that thirty refugees, among whom are Generals Soltyk and
Dwernicki, and the Deputy Ledochowski, have receives orders
to quit Paris, and to state the towns in the Departments in
which they intend to fix their residence. Three days are al-
lowed them to make their choice ; after that they will be at the
disposal of the Authorities.
We are assured that the Order of the Ministers especially al-
leges, as a reason, that the Act of Confederation is an attack
on our Prussian Ally.

An Express from Madrid,bringing Letters and Papers to
the 14th instant, has been received this morning in the city.
The discussion on the Address had terminated in the Se-
cond Chamber, and the Address itself had been carried by
a majority of seventy votes. The Peers will now proceed
to the debate upon the Address of the Upper Chamber,
which, according to the etiquette of the Spanish Cortes, is not
adopted until the Procuradores have deliberated upon their's.
The Government was firm, and the prospects of the country
fast improving.

The Jamaica Despatch of the 10th of March con-
tains a report of a public meeting at Kingston, for
the purpose of incorporating and consolidating the
several branches of the National Schools. The Bishop
of Jamaica presided as Chairman, and the following
Resolutions were passed :

Ist. That this Institution be called " The Jamaica Diocesan
National School Society."

2nd. That application be immediately made to the " Na-
tional Society," to admit this Institution into union upon its
usual terms.

3rd. That the Central and Branch Schools of Kingston
shall be under the sole conduct and management of Mr. Lyne,
(who shall be responsible for their success both as regards the
children and the masters and mistresses in training), to be con-
ducted on the principle of the " National School Society,"
and to practice fully and faithfully the National System of
Education.

4th. That the boys educated in the Schools shall be pro-
vided with testimonials and recommendations according to their
conduct and talent, and in special cases such pecuniary aid
may be afforded as the funds will permit.
sth. That a meeting shall be held annually, as near Christ-
mas as may be, before which shall be laid a general statement
of the Institution.

These are the Resolutions. We shall now give—
but without adopting—the Editor's commentary upon
them. It certainly is not undeserving of attention—
especially that portion of it which refers to the cos-
mopolite spirit of English charity.:—

" However desirable it may be to educate the rising gene-
ration, it is much more necessary to teach them moral and in-
dustrious habits, to qualify them for the change which will
take place after the year 1840. It is well known that we have
more mechanics in Jamaica than we can even now find em-
ployment for. What will it then be, if the whole of our ju-
venile population are to be taught nothing but trades?
" In the first place, we think the whole of this anxiety
about the religious education of our youthful peasantry quite
premature. In the second, how are the parents to send their
children under six years of age to school? Who is to clothe
them ?—or, who is to attend them when they are sick ? The
master's humanity may induce him to do much, but it cannot
be expected that he will contribute one shilling towards
the maintenance and education of those over whom he
has neither claim nor controul. We, therefore, say,
that this grand experiment has commenced long before it
ought ; and it will be found that no good whatever will re-

suit from it. It should have been delayed until after t .
cdout
the
e
of August, 1840, when the parents, if then so disposed,'
yield extra labour for the education of their offspring--a
children themselves might be made accustomed to light
for two or three days in the week, and by this means gi e
yt
the
impulse to education and industry ; but the former, vvithoit ►I _
latter, is a certain way of entailing Misery and wretche►ln. eat;
on the whole country. While we applaud the zeal °I our
on
Bishop, we cannot help laughing in sleeve at the folly o
our
John Bull for sendin C 1 nies for the
gso much money to the o o
