ROYAL PIETY.--The Archbishop of PARIS,
who has recently returned from Rome, received
a letter from Charles X., in which his Majesty
observes, that on the approach of .the solemnity
which the Church annually celebrates in honour
of the Virgin Mary, he is reminded of the piety
of his most august and honoured predecessors,
who consecrated France to the Mother of God as
her special patroness. " Desiring," says his
Majesty, " to conform to such great examples,
and to place our reign under the protection of the
Queen of Heaven, I address to you this letter,
to inform you that my will is, that on the
dqy of the Assumption. of the Most Holy
Virgin you cause to be read from the pulpit
the Declaration of Louis XIII., on the 10th
of February, 1638, in your Metropolitau Church,
and in the other churches within► your dio-
cese." His Majesty then orders, that in con-
formity with that declaration, a general proces-
sion shall take place in .the cathedral, which he
promises to attend, and to which he desires the
Archbishop to invite all civil, judicial, and mili-
tary authorities. The Archbishop, in fulfilment
of his Majesty's directions, issued on the 12th a
mandame►►t to the clergy of his diocess, in which,
after attributing the twofold restoration of the
Bourbons :►ed all other blessings enjoyed by
France to the mediation of the Virgin, he orders
the reading of the edict of Louis XIII., the pro-
cession instituted thereby to be carried into effect,
and the King's letter with his own mandament to
be read in all the churches and chapels of his
diocess.

Kensington and Knightsbridge are about to
have a. new Church. The site of it will be, it
is said, at the point just behind Sloane-street,
Knightsbridge, where the road separates into
two roads, one leading to Kensington, on to
Brentford, &c., and the other to Brompton,Ful-
ham, atc. The proposed church will thus be
nearly opposite the Dragoon Barracks, at Knights-
bridge.

Mr. Nimmo, the engineer, deputed by Govern-
ment to survey the harbour of Tralee, has re-
ported that vessels of 200 tons can be brought to
lie alongside the town, at a safe and commodious
quay, at an expence ,of from eight to nine thou-
sand pounds-2,500/.has already been subscribed
for this purpose.---(Dublin Freeman's Journal.)

AS TO SCHOOLS IN SYNODS.

In the 10 Synods of Lothian and Tweeddale, Morse, and
Tiviotdale, Dumfries, Galloway, Glasgow, and Ayr, Perth
and Stirling, Fife, Angus and Mearns, Aberdeen and Moray,
there are 764 parishes, and 1.716,126 persons, and so abundant
is the number of schools in these districts, that, with a few ex-
ceptions, they may be said to be well supplied with the means
of education, and that there is scarcely an individual who has
not been taught to read.
The remaining six Synods, however, namely, Argyle, Gle-
nelg, Ros,, Sutherland, and Caithness, Orkney, and Zetland,
situate chiefly in the Highlands and Islands, and containing
only 143 parishes, and a population of 377,730 persons, are, as
stated in the parochial returns, in the most urgent need of not
less than 250 additional schools.
The number of sholars that would attend each of these 250
schools, it is computed, at a low average, would amount to 42.
It follows, therefore, that in these Synods there are 10,500 chil-
dren left without the means of any education ; and the Com-
mittee are suite satisfied that the number is, in fact, much
greater than the calculated number of 10,500.
These 13,500 children alluded to, are all, it is to be noticed,
under 15 years of age., If persons of all ages are included, the
number of those not taught to read almost exceeds belief. But
how could it be otherwise, when more parishes than one are
described as not having a sufficient number of schools to accom-
modate one-tenth of their population ? Several are said to be in
need of three and four, and one of even six schools; and as to
another, the appalling fact is mentioned, that it consists of
1000 square miles, and has a population of 4747 souls, and that
of these only 995 nave learned to read at all.

LITERARY NOTICE.

AMBITION—In Three Volumes.

Though .he Work before us is an anonymous
publiCationi yet we have reason to believe that
it is the production of Miss M. G. LEWIS, who
,has. displayed her -poetical powers in a very in-
teresting Poem entitled ZELINDA, a dramatic
historical sketch intitledl "-CARDIFF CASTLE and
GWENLLEAN, a tale, in 3 vols. ,Presuming that
we are not mistaken in ascribing the present
volumes to the same fair Author, we have much
pleasure in announcing a Work in which pure
morality is blended with amusement. The fable
is interesting, and the characters are varied.—
The principal personages, with one exception,
are refined, yet animated, generous, and amiable.
=They are not so exalted as to render itnit.atien
hopeless; and, however embellished, they still
resemble 46 folks of this world." Lord GwYNNE
ARTHUR affords an illustration of the dangers to
which- an ardent unsuspecting mind is expos-
ed in a Foreign land. The character of Sir
RICHARD GoRIiON is well conceived ; btit it is
rather described than .bro,:,ght into action. We
Wish the fair Author had given more scope for
his virtues. We. fear, '.or rather hope, that her
female readers, at least; will deem the character
of the fascinating Italian Syren overdrawn, and
that so much duplicity and ingratitude towards
an honourable, amiable, and confiding lover,
could not exist, except in the heart, of one who
had herself-been a victim of hypocrisy and: un-
kindness. Our fair Writer is evidently an en-
A.husiast when her country is' the theme. The
Bard Valentine is well imagined, and well sus-1
tained. Ile laments with affecting pathos the
altered state of his beloVed country, and with
noble fervour exults in the glories of its depart-
ed heroes. Tile original poetry interspersed
through the Work is easy, natural, and appro-
priate. The sentiments are generally noble,and
always characteristic. The observations evince
great acquaintance with Nature and Society,.and
if the fair Authoris not profoundly 64 learned in
the ways of men" by experience, she see;-;s to
possess an intuitive knowledge of their qualities
and dispos;tions. We would readily insert an ex-
tract from the Work, if we could detach any
portion that would be interesting, without a pre-
vious acquaintance with the characters who. are
employed in the general texture and progress of
the story. -We therefore refer our Readers to
the Work itself, assuring them that. they will
derive amusement from it ; and, we may venture
to add, also moral improvement.

HEREFORD RACES.

Four hordes are expected to contend for the Wye Stakes,
three for the Herefordshire'Stakes, and six for the Hunters'
Stakes. The race for the Gold Cup will,prove very interesting,
as the horses are well matched; Rowlstone is rather the favou-
rite. The Foley Stakes and Earl Somers's Plate will also, it
is supposed, afford considerable sport.

EDUCATION IN TILL HIGHLANDS.

(From the Edinburgh Courant.)
We are happy to place in our columns a copy
' of a very interesting paper which has just fallen
under our notice, and we trust its publication
may attract patronage to the great national ob-
ject it suggests—" Statement as to the want of
Schools and Catechists- in the Highlands and
Islands ;" by a Committee of the General As-
sembly of the Church of Scotland.—The General
Assembly, in 182, appointed a Committee to in-
quire and to report to their next meeting, as to
the existing means of education and religious in-
struction throughout Scotland, particularly in the
Highlands and Islands. This Committee ac-
cordingly transmitted to each of the Ministers of
th'e 907 parisheS in the church a list of queries,
in order to ascertain the facts of the case.—
They received in the course of the year 800
returns, and laid before the Assembly, which
met in May last, a summary of the information
which these returns contained. On consider-
ing
this Report of the Committee, the As-,
sembly came unanimously to the following
decision :—" The Assembly highly approve
of the exertions of tine Committee in acquiring.'
the knowledge of facts necessary for the pro-
secution of this most interesting anti im-
portant object, arid rejoice that the result of these
exertions has been the attainment of such varied
and valuable information. In regard that there
does not appear to be a risk of any obstacles oc-
curring to impede, or at least to prevent, the
ultimate adoption of the proposed scheme, ;Hid
that it is of the utmost importance to commence
immediately to raise the funds necessary for car-
.rying it into execution, recommend a collection
to be made throughout all the churches and
chapels of the Establishment, on or-before the
first Sabbath in February. They instruct the
Committee, which is hereby re-appointed, to
open a subscription for the general purposes of
the scheme, and to take every proper and pru-
dent measure in their power, towards forwarding
the object in view ; and when the funds thus
raised are ascertained in whole or in part, the
Committee is further authorised, if it shall be
judged advisable, to nominate a schoolmaster, or
catechist, in the stations that appear most ur-
gently to require them, after due communication
held with the heritors and others concerned."—
The following abridged view of the leading facts
which produced this decision, will be sufficient,
at once, to demonstrate a deplorable want of
schools and catechists in the Highlands and
Islands, and to secure the sympathy and libe-
rality of the benevolent, for the remedy of this
evil.—The whole population of Scotland amounts
to 2,093,856, and the church is divided into 16
sy nods.
London, England, 1825-08-19

den, a little past twelve o'clock—to one of
the French strumpets of Buckingham-street, says
Sir Richard Birnie. Be the character of the
female, however, what it may,—and
for the sake of argument, that the French lady
was not a vestal, and that it was very improper
in Mr. Gamble to speak to any lady of such a
description, French or English, after twelve
o'clock—still, we apprehend the law only takes
cognizance of a man's actions, when they are in-
jurious to others. Whether a man stops to speak
to another man, or to a female, modest or im-
modest, young or old—he does that which he
is at full liberty to do. It is not the stop-
ping, nor the speaking which can warrant the
interference of any guardian of the night,—
it must be tin' speaking in such a way as to dis-
turb a neighbourhood, and which constitutes per
se a disorderly proceeding. It is not contended
that Mr. G., or the female with whom he was
conversing, were guilty of any disorderly proceed-
ing. The watchm in ordered them to move on from
a supposition that he is vested with the power of
preventing any persons from stopping to converse
on the streets after the watch is set. We have al-
ways been particularly struck with the orderly
and inoffensive behaviour of the inhabitants of the
Metropolis both by night and day ; and in this
respect it would be difficult to find their equals
in any town of the Island. Persons connected
with Morning Papers have necessarily oppor-
tunities of witnessing what passes in the streets
at night, possessed by few. During his long re-
sidence in the Metropolis, the writer of this, who
has resided in many neighbourhoods, and passed
along the streets at all hours, never once ex-
perienced the smallest personal annoyance. The
only disturbance at nights, of frequent occur-
rence, is that occasioned by the great, when they
give entertainments, whe❑ the noise of the quar-
relling coachmen becomes often a very serious
nuisance. There is nothing, therefore, in the
character of the population which renders it ne-
cessary that extensive discretionary powers should
he given to watchmen, to regulate and controul
their movements. --sms—

DREADFUL ACCIDENT on the DOURO.

OPORTO, OCT. W.—Yesterday afternoon, be-
tween the hours of four and five o'clock, a fatal
accident occurred at Carvalinho, in the river
Douro. There is at this place (Carvalinho),
which is at the foot of the high and steep moun-
tain of Fontaiuhas, a most delightful stream or
fountain, and near it stone benches, where num-
bers of persons are used to sit down to refresh
themselves before it is a pond, in which the
inhabitants wash their linen. Over this agree-
able spot was a large rock, projecting beyond
the mountain, hut, as it was supposed, sufficiently
fixed, and no fears were entertained that it could
fall. Unhappily, however, when a great number
of persons of both sexes were on the spot, some
seated, some in conversation and walking, as
well as some women washing linen, the rock fell,
bringing with it a large portion of the mountain,
and covered with its enormous weight all the per-
sons who were there : among them were four
daughters of one family. Besides those buried
under the rock, others were thrown into the
Douro in their attempt to fly from this scene of
horror. The noise of this tremendous fall of the
rock was heard on both banks of the river, and
the cries of some of the unhappy victims drew
together an immense concourse of people, who
were petrified with astonishment at the sight of
so lamentable a catastrophe. Some had their
heads only still free, some to the middle of the
body, of others the legs and arms were visible.
Every effort was made to save those who were
seen in this state, hut in vain : none were got out
alive. By seven o'clock, seven or eight bodies
were got out; and as farther efforts to save any
of the victims could be of no avail, the farther
examination of the result of the disaster was de-
ferred till to-day. It was a most afflicting scene
—women inquiring for their husbands, men for
their wives, parents for their children, 301110 of
whom lead to perform the melancholy duty of
conveying home the corpses of those who were
dear to them. It was not an earthquake, us some
thought, but the natural gravity of the rock which
caused the disaster. It is supposed that the rock
and the part of the mountain which has followed
would make make more than 1,000 waggon loads,
each 50 arrobas (16 ew t.) There are other large
masses► on the same mountain ,which threaten a
similar fate, but we are sure that the dreadful
misfortune which has now occurred, will prove a
sufficient warning.

HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.

The justly celebrated pack of Harriers at Banstead, Surrey,
have commenced their season with the usual eclat; it is a sin-
gular fact, that for above a century this delightful and rural
village has always wr a social pack for the gratification
and amusement ottl.e,urrraading gentry and visitors. They
hunt regularly two or ttitt.c times each week, and from the
quantity of game scarcely ever have a blank day, while the fine
open country affords the pleasures of the chase in equal perfec-
tion to any part of the kingdom, although within fourteen miles
of the metropolis. To-morrow they throw off at the Chalk.

THE KING, &c.

lirnmso a, Nov. 2.—His MAJESTY continues daily to take
his usual exercise, in the course of which he occasionally visits
the Castle. The works being now in an advanced state, his
Majesty is anxious to see that every thing is performed agree-
ably to his taste. Yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock, their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and
Princess Augusta, arrived from Bagshot Lodge, at the Royal
Lodge, on a visit to his Majesty ; and, after a long interview,
the Royal visitors partook of an elegant cold collation, pre-
pared for them in the principal dining-room ; and at half-
past three o'clock their Royal Highnesses took leave of his
Majesty, and returned to Bagshot Lodge. After the de-
parture of their Royal Highnesses, his Majesty, whose

THE A POrirIIECA RIES' BILL.

Loh! SUFFIELD moved the House: to proceed to a' Com-
mittee on the Apothecaries' Act Amendment Bill.
. . .

Viscount _IIIELYII,I4E moved an amenditteiit, by which
the operation of the Bill was limited -to the Ist of August,
1826, the present ,Bill not to take effect till the lst of Au-
gust next.
•
The Earl of ROSSINN was satisfied that the Scotch medi-
cal schools were superior to the London schools.
Lord SUFFIELD bete reminded the House of the expence
which parents were at to educate their sons in ,London, while
education was solnuch cheaper in Snalaud. Ile was of opinion
that the present Bill was likely to do great injury to the Lon-
don school. .

The Earl of LAUDERDALE had known -very few prac-
titioners of 'eminence in London who had not graduated in the
Scotch School, and who, in. fact, were not rather proud of. that
circumstance.

Viscount MELVILLE put it to the House whether a frien-
tleman who watt qualified to attend an hospital which cor-
titined 2,000 patients, ought to be refused to prae.isc in a paltry
' village. •
After an exphantintr betlren Lards Sufgeld and Melville,
the amendment of the latter was agreed to, when the. Bill Was
reported as amended. and the Report was ordered to be receiv-
ed to-morrow.

The British Vessels Registry Bill, the Col• vies Trade Bill,
and the Passage Vesselsitegulstion Bill, were read a Second-
time.

Upon the motion of • Viscount M ELVILLE, the Scotch
Partnetships Bill was amended in a Conanittee,'by limiting
the measure to Joint Stock Companies now existing in Scot-
land, and the Bill was ordered to be printed as amended.

MELANCHOLY DEATH of ISAAC LEVY, ESQ.

[Further Particulars.i
A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday after-
noon, before Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, at the Cock anti Mag-
pie. TAvern,-ta i immure mak iitt, on the bony of [lase Levy, Esq.
aged 60 years, a merchant and stockbroker, who died suddenly
under the following afflicting circumstances. The deceased
gentleman, accompanied by his lady, son, anti other friends, bad
provided themselves with a harouche and four, for the purpose
of witnessing the Grand Review on Hounslow Heath. The
party had proceeded as far as. the. Red Cow on the Hammer-
smith road, when the postillions stopped to feed the horses, and
here the deceased first complained of being indisposed in his
stomach, when a small portion of brandy and water was given
him, from which he seemed to revive. They again went on
their journey as far as the above house, where the deceased, who
appeared very uneasy, got out of the carriage, and • walked into
the parlour. The deceased still complaining of the violent at-
hisson sent for medical attendance.

Mr. 3lark Dewsnap, of Hammersmith, surgeon, sworn—On
Tuesday last I attended the deceased at this house; saw him
first in the parlour ; he was complaining of great pain in his
chest ; I gave him some medicine, from which he appeared
much better, and I desired him to remain quiet, for which pur-
pose he went up stairs to a bed-chamber. I then quitted the
house, but in less than half an hour I was sent for again. I
then found him lying in bed on his hack, and he expired just
as I entered the apartment. I believe his death was occasioned
by an effusion of water in the chest and 'heart. here the wit-
ness handed in a certificate from another medical gentleman, to
the following effect:—
" It is my opinion, from the very frequent opportunities I
have had of judging of the late Mr. Isaac Levy's disease, that
his death is to be attributed to effusion of water in the chest.'
(Signed) 11. L. REED, Surgeon. 15, Mountplace,
June 29, 1025. Whitechapel-road.
Verdict—" Died by the Visitation of (46d."

By, the New Street Act, which has just passed,
the hackney-coach stand is to be removed from Charing-cross

tories to which Alexander the Great in vain at-
tempted to penetrate ? Still more would he have
been puzzled to hear of millions of money sent
from the City of London to the region of gold
and silver mines in Mexico and Peru—or to be
told that the country of the Mohawk Savages
(whom he contemplated with astonishment on
their visit to London) should become the seat of
a powerful and civilised Republic, spreading
from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi
—that the Grand Monarque should reside
for several years in Buckinghamshire—that a
Corsican Notary's son should become the Despot
of the European Continent—and that a second
Marlborough, more glorious than the first, should
plant the British standard in Paris. Equally in-
credible must he have deemed it, that dispatches
should be communicated in fifteen minutes from
London to Portsmouth ; or that inflammable air
should flow like water through the streets of the
Metropolis, furnishing us every night with a
brilliant illumination.
