CHILDREN BURNT TO DEATH.

Ma. EIIToR—TI►e frequent 61amit y of a child
accidentally destroyed by fire, cae►not but grit
equally the beaus of all who read such painful
reports in your and other public prilitS. Allow
me to state to !your Redderi a simple Pim-
VENTIVE of this afflicting case.

An excellent nurse of my acquaintance, who
was entrusted with the care of two children,
adopte-d - the following me!hod :—Whenever she
bad occasion to leave the room in which she site
with the coildren; she previously fastened each of
them to, one of the bcd-posts, by a cord of suf-
ficient k.kgth to at chit of all necessary liberty of
but al,o -short% enough to prevent them
from reaching the fire-place, or one another. •

need not •comment on the entire•security thus
pcodoccd, from liurtiing or quarrelling during her
ktb:ence.
The children, being habituated to this mode of
Irearnteut, t‘eie accustomed, on seeing. their nurse
prepariot,4 leAre the room, to run to her tsirh

tying them in the bed betot e she went away front

LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY,

[British Press.]
A rumour has prevail, d that a profesNional
Gentleman has been fur so►nre time occupied o►t
the Continent collecting ev,iletice o! a ►ery deli-
cate and important nature. Dispatc!►es were re-
reived from that person on Wednesday, and it is
sunposed that the perusal of then► occupied a
large share of Minkterial attention on Saturday.

[New Times]
Hamtnrgh Mails have been received, with Pa-
pers and Letters to the date of Thuri:lay last.—
Accounts front St. Petersburg state, that the- Mt-
JitAry Parade, which hitherto took place in com-
memoration of the capture of Paris by the Allies,
on the 31st of March, 1814, is no longer to be
observed. Ath.icts trout Hanover notice the in-,
I,ntion of the Doke of Clarence to make a jour-
ney to (hit country, and add, that the Duchess
will not accompany his Royal Higlinass, but re-
m'ain on the Consinent to drink mineral waters
during the sunon.r„ Some severe laws against
smuggling have been enacted, and some iiew regula-
riotri respectiog mvigatiou issued in Sweden. The
Dankh Go:eminent has prohibited
tor the stmfl pox in its Wi!st India Islands, and
ordered the universal ss.,e. of vaccination. The.
friends of humanity must learn with pleasure,
that even a comparatively small number.is added
to those who enjoy the inej ititable advanta:ges of
a discovery which has set bounds. to :he ravages
of disease, and poinied,out ass antidote provided
by the same Provr'ence which permittud the ex-
istence of the des rue ive malady. The accounts
by- the Mail confit m a paragraph in a Paris Paper,
which states, that the Ritssia n Councillor of Mate,
Von Stournza, so well known for his pamphlet
on Germany, had left Dresden. The account in
the French Paper intimates, that. he had taken a
hasty departure on rece:voig some, hints, on good
authority, that his stay would be dangerous to
himself. The German Paper merely says, that
he had left the capital of Saxony.to proceed by
way of Prague and Warsaw to St. Petersburg,

[Morning Chronicle.)

The Bank Directors have had a conference
with the First Lord of the .Treasury and the
Chancellor of the. Exchequer on the objections
which theyhave stated to the plan of payments
in bullion, and there is no doubt but that their
representations will have due .weight with the
Committees ot. both Houses, on the great ques-
tion of the resumption of Cash Payments. The
Directors say, that they require only that Go-
vernment should-pay them- the advance's they have --
made, and, they will resume payments in specie
forthwith. This, undonbtedly, would be the ,
simple and efficacious mode of correcting the er7
roneous,system that has been so long acted upon ;
for the; Bank. has it .always ,in its power to keep
such a clear balance between the amount of paper
and specie in circulation, and of • the actual de-
Mand'of 'the public, as would prevent the export
of our coin. They are themselves convinced that
they committed an error when they issued about
five millions of coin, and at the` same time kept
up. their issue of notes to the same amount. If
they had withdrawn front circulation a number of
their notes, equal to the amount of gold they let
loose, there is no doubt that the gold would have
continued in-the country, but they facilitated its
export by supplying its place with paper. Expe-
rience has now taught them the prudent course
and now that the exchanges are becoming favour-
able to a silver standard, very little indeed is ne-
cessary to enable the Bank to resume a healthful
practice.
lu Germany public affairs are very different to
what they are in France; indeed, the Germans
only want that which the French were desirous
• of obtaining in 1789, namely, equal rights, no
feudal system, and an Habeas Corpus Act, The
Allies went to war with France to oppose her
liberties, but 'were compelled, in 1814, to recog-
nize that system which they opposed in 1789.
And, say the Germans, if a Representative
_Go-
vernment is tin:nicht to be fit for Frenchmen, why
.are we not to enjoy the same benefit Are we
less worthy of liberty than Freadguekt argue
the Genznatier-(lbid.)
