Within the Tontine, Greenock, on the 15th day of Fe.
ternary next, at One o'Clock in the afternoon, the fel-
lowing Lots of Valuable Property, viz. :
THAT HOUSE of THREE STORIES,
situated in Thomson's Close, near the Mid-Quay ,
Head, as possessed by the late John Sinclair, smith, and
others.

That valuable LOT of GROUND, with the BUILD.
INGS thereon, lying between Cathcart-street and Shaw•
street, having a front of 186 feet along Cathcart-street,
end of 115 feet along Shaw-street... This Property is ca-
pable of great improvement, and, as a communication be-
tween the two principal streets is .very much, wanted in
this quarter of the town, it might be laid out and built on
in the style of an Arcade or Street for foot passengers only,
with shops on each side, and having a large range of front
to both the principal streets, renders it very valuable for
buildings of any description.
Should this not Sell in one Lot, it will be divided as
followS, viz. :

Lot Ist. That PIECE of GROUND fronting Cathcart
Street, with the SHEDS built thereon, as presently occu-
pied by Messrs. Neill and Gray.
Lot 2d. That other PIECE of GROUND, immediately
to the east of Lot Ist, fronting Cathcart-street, with the
BUILDINGS thereon, as presently occupied by 'Messrs.
Ewing, My, and Co.

the Open-Shore, with the BUILDINGS thereon, as pre-
sently possessed by David Hay, baker, and WIII. Blackwood.

The above Lots of Property are in excellent situations,

HAMILTONIAN SYSTEM-APHORISMS OF
HIPPOCRATES.

As far as a light showy knowledge, of a lan-
guage
,is requisite, the Hamiltonian system will
answer every purpose, but in the instances of thu
dead languages—especially Latin and Greek,
where a shrewd acquaintance with grammar is
indispensable, (the colloquial spirit no longer ex-
isting, to facilitate the acquisition of their pecu-
liarities) it will be found, we fear, unsatisfactory
When we say unsatisfactory, we merely meat.
that the system is incomplete, laying too much
stress on verbal, and far too little on grammati-
cal acquirements. A knowledge of words in
itself is an inert mass, that serves only to encum-
ber the memory. It is the varnish, not the ma-
terial of information, and upon Mr. Hamilton's
principle is rendered a preliminary instead of an
after consideration. It 'is like recommend..
ing to a novice Fourcroy's Philosophy of
Chemistry, prior to his elementary Treatise on
that subject. While, however, we thus par-
tially underrate the Hamiltonian system, a sense
of justice compels us to state, that compared
with the old school methods of instructing youth
through the medium of such unintelligible jargon
as the Eton Latin or Greek Grammars, it is
perfection itself. It is a quick, dashing, and
far from toilsome road to 'knowledge. The
track lies throughout over smooth ground ;
so smooth that the tyro scarcely meets with
a stumbling block. By means of Mr. Hamil-
ton's system a clever linguist will gain his
ends with comparatively little difficulty ; but
a dull boy will, we suspect, be posed. He will
find his memory oppressed with a vast abund-
ance of verbiage, which, from want of an elemen-
tary knowledge, he will be totally unable to ap-
ply. The Grainmar, it is true, comes afterwards,
but not, we fear, till much of the previous ac-
quirements is forgotten. We do not here profess
to enter into any elaborate treatise on the Hamil-
tonian System. ,We merely give. the first
im-
pression it has made on us ; a' deeper acquaint-
ance with its characteristics, may, perhaps, induce
our recantation ; 'and, indeed, if but half of
what we hear on the subject of its numer-
ous successes be correct, it merits a very respectful
and elaborate analysis. The-little work which
has suggested the present cursory hints is a lite-
ral translation of the maxims of Hippocrates,
published by Mr. Underwood, mie of the most
able and successful of the Hamiltonian school:
it gives at one view a very faithful idea of the
terse and somewhat crabbed Greek of the ori-
ginal ; and (provided that the student has a pre-
vious acquaintance with .the grammatical struc-
ture and- usages of the language) is a very ser-
viceable desideratum. But • then it is a sealed
book to the novice—unless he have a master by
his side.

BELTRAMI'S DISCOVERY OF THE SOURCES
; OF THE MItSISSIPPI. 2 Vols. London. 1825.
Mr. Beltrami is the most polite traveller that
ever yet discovered—or concluded that he had
done so—the Sources of the Mississippi. In the
midst of untrodden forests, beside cataracts,
rocks, and rivers, alive only to the howl of
wild beasts or the stunning roar of whirlwinds
[ he consoles himself by finding objects that may
remind him of his " dear Countess." The first
glimpse of a sunny lake recalls the spot where
• he first met her in Italy ; a hump of buffalo's
flesh—a delicacy (if we may credit our author
and Mr. Cooper) never to be mentioned without
reverence—reminds him of some similar dainty
shared with her near Naples ; in fact, his " dear
Countess" is the real or imaginary Dulcinea to
please whom this adventurous Quixote sets forth
on the most extraordinary expeditions. His present
volumes profess to describe the sources of that
noble river, so serviceable to American commerce,
the Mississippi, but are in reality a mere sketchy
series of travels through Europe and the United
States : the parts referring to his discovery bearing
about as much proportion to the rest as a mouse
bears to an elephant. The first volume is ex-
clusively devoted to Italy, France, and England ;
in the course of which Mr. B. takes care to impress
on our minds that he respects Napoleon, detests
the Jesuits, and dislikes the French drama—.
three opinions for which we are ready to accord
him sincere praise. Of England, especially Lon-
don, he speaks in no very flattering terms ; finds
out (what every lover of an Italian sky must do)
that it is dull and foggy—its inhabitants proud,
cold, and suspicious—its buildings, except in
the instances of St. Paul's and Somerset House,
uniformly beneath contempt. In this city, too,
he makes his first discovery, namely, that Magna
Charta was signed at Windsor ; when every
coachman on the road, to say nothing of the
passengers, could have told him that it was
drawn up at Runnimede, a stupid look-
in
g. little meadow near Staines. We hope
Mr.' Beltrami will take the earliest oppor-
tunity of undeceiving his " dear Countess" on
this momentous subject. After staying for some
weeks in London our author quits it delightedly
for Liverpool ; whence he embarks for Philadel-
phia, but finds, to his infinite mortification, that
the vessel engaged for his voyage has just lost
its cook. Scarcely by the aid of philosophy, and
the prompt recollection of his "dear Countess,"
has he overcome this serious affliction, when he
finds himself pushed neck and heels out of bed
by an immense wave—which, during the night,
has contrived to effect au unceremonious entrance
into his cabin. This visitation is succeeded
by a tremendous storm which, however, the
sturdy little vessel rides out, and finally ar-
rives, after a three months' buffeting, safe,
but with her ribs broken, at Philadelphia.
From this city our author starts forth—a giant
refreshed—on a tour through the United States,
to which stale subject, he imparts little or no no-
vel information, except that Kentucky is the
Paradise of America—that its men are re-
markably coarse—and its women as remarka-
bly beautiful. Of Pittsburgh, a very rising
town,
and one that
will, at no great lapse of time,
rival, if not surpass Washington, lie observes,
that some years since its inhabitants were singu-
larly numerous, but that now, thanks to the phy-
sicians, they are rapidly thinning ; in fact, the
greater part of its population is subterranean
—underground. From Pittsburgh, our author
ascends the Mississippi in a steam-boat—and
describes at great length, the varieties of wood
and water, forest, cataract, and prairie, as he
-passed them successively in his voyage. Of the
Sioux Indians.he gives also some entertaining, but
