could see in the situation of the schoolmaster a situa-
tion to which they might hope to arrive, and which
would not only afford them a decent livelihood, but
raise them in the scale of society to a station which
the important trust reposed in their hands seems to
require. This must be done by degrees, and yet
perhaps there is no object more important." The
vocation of schoolmaster--for, as yet, speaking of it
generally, it can scarcely be called a profession—is
one that has been too long undervalued. It has
been regarded, in fact, as no better than a trade, and
has been a fertile theme of laughter and ridicule
for wits, satirists, dramatists, and writers of fiction,
for Heaven knows how many years ! The dominic
in Scotland and the pedagogue in England, who for-
gets how often these characters have been ridiculed
on the stage and in the novel—how many grotesque
peculiarities have been attributed to them, calculated
to lower them in their own esteem as much as in that
ofothers ! Now why should this be ? Surely the vocation
of the schoolmaster is at least as honourable—at least as
much entitled to public respect as that of the soldier
or the sailor ? Yet, while we look up with a feeling
almost akin to reverence, on the profession of arms,
we despise the less showy calling of the schoolmaster,
and allow him no definite station in society, unless
he happen also to be a member of the Church
of England. Yet it is this unregarded cha-
racter who moulds, or should mould, the tastes,
the feelings, the moral—religious--and literary opi-
nions of the rising generation, and to whose silent,
unobtrusive influence the community is indebted for
some of the choicest blessings it enjoys ! To raise
the character of the schoolmaster—to give him equal
rank with the clergyman, the lawyer, the physician,
the soldier, and the sailor—is an imperative duty on
Government, and bne that it cannot long neglect
with impunity. Lord WITARNCLIFFE, we are glad
to see, is paving the way for such a reform in our
educational system—a reform to which even the most
haughty and bigoted high Churchman would find it
difficult to offer any rational or valid objection.

Madrid journals of the 23d ult. have been received,
but they bring no intelligence of public interest. Mr.
BULWER, after having installed the Spanish Consul
at Tangiers, had arrived at Cadiz, and was daily ex-
pected at Madrid.
The Heraldo states that, on the 16th Admiral Sir
E. OWEN had given, in celebration of the restoration
of peace between France and Morocco, a grand ban-
quet on board the Albion, to which all the officers of
the foreign ships of war were invited.
The Three per Cents. were done at 27 13-16 for
cash, and 28i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21
at 60 days ; the Floating Debt at 66 at 60 days ; and
the Coupons at 26f for cash.

On Sunday his Majesty LOUIS PHILIPPE reviewed
he regiments quartered in Paris and the neighbour-
rood, in the court of the Tuileries. The KING
mounted his horse at one o'clock, and distributed a
number of decorations to certain officers and soldiers
of each regiment, when the flags captured at Isly
were presented to his MAJESTY, and afterwards car-
ried along the whole line. The trophies were then
conveyed by a division of the Guards to the Hotel
des Invalides and delivered to the Governor and Staff,
to be exposed to public view in the church. The fol-
lowing is a programme of the proceedings. It will
be seen that the review was entirely confined to the
troops of the line :—ln conformity with the orders
of the General commanding the first division the
troops will assemble en grande tenue at mid-day—the
infantry in the court of the Tuileries, the cavalry
and the artillery in the quays. After the review,
the standard bearers, with their guards, and with
the officers and under-officers, proposed for the deco-
ration of the Legion of Honour, will assemble in the
court of the Tuileries. After the KING shall have
given the decorations, the Moorish colours will be ear-
-1 ied between the lines of the infantry and cavalry, tha
drums will beat and the trumpets sound the march.
When the troops shall have defiled, they will advance
in the following order to the Hospital of the Inva-
lides :—The infantry, preceded by a detachment of
the Municipal Guard. In the centre of the column,
between the 17th and 23d regiments of infantry, a
column of picked men will be placed, consisting of
fifteen companies of men chosen from the grenadiers
and voltigeurs of each regiment. In the middle of
that column will he placed the colours and trophies
taken from the Moors. Colonel RIPPERT, of the 23d
regiment of the line, will be the commander of the
chosen column. The artillery will follow the infan-
try; the cavalry after the artillery. The infantry
and eavalry will be stationed on the quays. The
under officers appointed to carry the colours and
trophies will be furnished by the following regi-
ments :—The Municipal Guard, 2 ; the Veterans, 4;
9th Cuirassiers, 1 ; sth Dragoons, 1; 3d Hussars,
8 ; Bth Lancers, 1; 2d Light Infantry, 1 ; sth Light
Infantry, 1 ; 17th Light Infantry, 3; 28th Infantry
of the Line, 2 ; 24th Infantry, 2 ; 40th ditto, 1 ; 47th
ditto, 4 ; Artillery, 1; 10th Light Infantry, 2 ; 50th
Infantry, I.—Total, 28' under officers. Those 28
under officers, en grande tenue, and armed with their
swords only, will go, at mid-day precisely, to the
Hall of the King's Aides-de-Camp, at the Tuileries,
where the colours and trophies will be delivered to
them. After the ceremeny of depositing the trophies
the troops will return to their barracks." The
KING was well received, and appeared in good
health. The National cannot let the occasion
pass without an attack on the French Govern-
ment, taking care of course to include England in its
vituperations. That journal of Sunday contains the
following bitter remarks on the proceedings :—A
grand parade is to take place on the quays, on the
occasion of the grand victories obtained over Mo-
rocco, and of the glorious peace just concluded. The
KING will review the troops of the garrison, and the
flags captured from the Moors will be solemnly con-
veyed to the Invalides, including, no doubt, the
famous parasol, for which the magnimity of the Juste
Milieu has refused to accept a ransom. The Minis-
terial papers make no mention of the parasol, nor do
they either say anything of MuLzx's tent, which is
to be placed upon the grand basin of the Tuileries,
yesterday drained for the purpose. The fete, as is
seen, will be magnificent, and will remind one to
perfection of the times when the Generals of
France brought to the Government the flags o
Arcola and Austerlitz. Provided the rain that

falls this evening in torrents permit it, the review

will be a fine one. The National Guard will
only be wanting to it, probably because the glorious
conquests achieved in Morocco are not considered

to have sufficiently rekindled its enthusiasm. And
yet such is what an almost official print announces
this evening in mighty pompous words. Here is a
sample of them :—‘ The Moorish flags will pass
between the lines of infantry and cavalry ; the drums
will beat and the trumpets sound the march.' Who
on reading such things would not fancy that one
of those victories is to be celebrated whereby a nation
sees its moral power increased tenfold ? No, all that
is to be celebrated is a battle in which we have had

thirty-seven killed and seventy-eight wounded, and
after which Marshal BUGEAUD advanced a league in
order to retire as quick as possible. We have also
to celebrate a naval victory, which had, indeed, given
us the island of Mogadore, but the evacuation of

that island immediately followed. Lastly, we are
about to celebrate a peace, which concludes nothing,
which makes us pay the expenses of the war, which
permits .A.IID-EL-KADER to continue to molest us,
and which has evidently been imposed upon us by
England. How can they then imagine that the
Moorish rags exhibited to the Parisians will be potent
enough to conceal the barrenness of such victories,
and the opprobrium of such a peace ? They have
been quite right not to invite the Parisian National
Guard to this extempore fete, and keep up towards
it the system of suspicion in which it has for several

years past been kept. The National Guard would
probably have seized the opportunity of calling the
Ministry to account for the ignoble PRITCHARD affair,
and the no less shameful conduct they have held in
Morocco. The public will no doubt be, as usual,
kept at a great distance whilst the KING reviews the
troops. Since ovations are wanted, they must con-
fine themselves to the closed-gate fetes, celebrated
between a squadron of cavalry and a battalion of
infantry, until the day when the Ministers shall con-

duct the KING to England, to enjoy there the unani-

mous explosion of gratitude which they cannot fail to

kindle wherever they move."
The Siecle is still more personal in its attacks on
the KIND, and proposes that M. GIIIZOT should
draw up some such speech as the following to be
delivered by Louis PIIILIPPE on the occasion :
" I sna pleased with the army, it has done its duty
