NATIONAL EDUCATION.-THE PRIMATE.

Dum.Dr, SEPT. 18.—Sufficient importancel;;;i
been attached to the adhesion of the General Assem-
bly of the Presbt•terian Church of Ireland to the na-
_

onal system of education. The last report pre-
sented to Parliament states that 400 schools connected
with the Presbyterian body in Ulster are receiving
aid from the Board. The Presbyterians, without
trenching on a single principle, have thus been en-
abled to avail themselves of the funds voted by the
Legislature. This junction of so important and in-
telligent a body may be regarded as putting an end
to all-chance of successful opposition to the national
system. originally proposed by Lord Stanley, and now
adopted by the present Ministry.
Under such circumstances the ultras and bigots in
Ireland, whilst crusading against that system, are
only exposing themselves to public ridicule. The
struggle about to be made for Mr. Hamilton, in the
University of Dublin, has for its object resistance to
the national system of education, and the grant to
Maynooth. The Primate, Lord John George Beres-
ford, is the leader of the Hamilton party. His
Grace, at the annual visitation of his arch-diocese,
held on Thursday in the cathedral of Armagh, re-
peated, - in the presence of upwards of three hun-
dred clergymen, his well-known opinions on the
subject of education, no doubt with a view of
fully impressing them upon his clergy, every
one of whom is an elector of the University.
Thus we find the Primate in Armagh, working very
practically against the Government in Dublin Castle.
The great fair of Banagher commenced on Thurs-
day. Sheep rated at from 4s. to ss. under the prices
of last year. The sellers dreaded a greater fall. It
is feared Ballinasloe will prove a very bad fair.
About five o'clock this morning a fire was disco-
vered in the extensive china and dell establishment of
Mr. Hill, Thomas-street, in this city. The house
and property were nearly destroyed before any alarm
was given, and the inmates had a very narrow escape
—if all of them have escaped. One man, who ap-
peared at an upper window, within reach of the
flames, was fortunately rescued by some people, who
bravely ventured upon the roof, and drew him up by
ropes. The house and all it contained were consumed ;
but, by great exertions, the flames were prevented
from extending.

BURNING OF A NATIONAL SCHOOL-
HOUSE.

The B qfast Vindicator contains the following, from
which it appears that the denunciations against the
National Board have not been wholly unavailing :
" A national school-house was burned in Culaleeky
in the course of the last month. The Commissioners
consented to continue to the master the salary, pro-
vided he could procure any house in which the chil-
dren might he accommodated. The owner of a house
which was promised to the master for this purpose,
received a threatening letter, informing him that his
tenement would suffer the same fate. The outrage
was investigated at the Ballymena Petty Sessions on
the 29th and 30th of August, but nothing tangible
euuld be elicited beyond the deposition of a witness,
that the threatening notice was written in the hand
of a. certain person. In the course of the examina-
tion of witnesses, it appeared that in that district a
strong party prejudice prevailed against the National
Board, as being identified with Popery: This is
passing strange, as the patron of the school is a mi-
nister of that communion. The Government have
offered a reward of 201. for the apprehension of the
offenders."

AN HONEST MAN.—Some days since a group
containing portraits of Fleury and Desplaees was ab-
stracted from the case containing specimens of M.
Claudet's Daguerreotype at the Adelaide Gallery. M.
Claudet having. previously missed a portrait of one of
her Majesty's horses, by advertisement offered a reward
of ten guineas for the detection of the appropriator. On
Saturday a parcel, containing the missing portraits of
the n amicers" was delivered to M. Claudet, accom-
panied by 1). idtgr signed " A. 13.,” in which the writer
stated that he 'had pnreln.sed the plate from a man in
Holborn, and that `e as he IVO itP4iORS not to have sfaen
property Jbund in his possession, he had returned it." Of
the hitter fact there can be no doubt in the world.

LITERATURE

QUARTERL YRE VIE 11: Nu. XL. Murray, Loudon.
The ("option whether Mi.. Pitt. excelled in
written coniposition as well as in Oratory, which
has been often discussed, and on which no de-
cisive opinion has hitherto been pronounced.
has.at length been set at rest by the puble_..ayon of
his official correspondence with the Duke of Rut-
land, who was appoiuted Lord Lieutenant of Ire-
land in 1784, about a year or two after Pitt's first
aceession tort power. This correspondence, of
which an aide notice appears iu tli Number
befbre us, exhibit; the illustrious statesman quite
in a new light—namely, as a vigorous ad
graceful writer, whose style has all that sue-
vinetness and felicity olexpression which is seldum
arrived at, except by continual practice. Among
iii. letters to the Duke is one, dated 17811,
wherein, alluding to a peerage which his Grace
requested tutu to I
WSI oNV on a minted friend, lie
Say :—" A variety of circumstances have nit-
avoidably led me to reeommend a larger additioa
to the 13riasli peerage than I: like, or than
think quite creditable; and I am on that accoent
very desirous not to illereitNejt 110 W Iltrther than
14 absolutely necessary." s This passage is not a
little remarkable, wheo we bear in mind that it
was writteu by,a Premier, who, at a subsequent
period, increased the peerage to a greater extent
than any two of his successors. " Pitt's 11111Sli-
r00111s" was a phrase of the day in every one's
mouth, and was strictly applicable to not a few
of his new creations, by whose means chiefly it
was that he carried his favourite project of the.
Irish Union. Front the Attire' passage we see
that in recommending such .a multiplication of
honours, he did considerable violence to his own
feelings, and yielded only to the force of in-
exorable circumstances. Of his correspondent,
the Duke of Rutland, little need be said. He
was no great politician, but, nevertheless, he
made a highly popular Lord-Lieutenant, being
possessed of many of those showy qualities
which the Irish like; his 'nature was frank and
social, his munificence and hospitality un-
bounded; his address was conciliatory to a
degree; and his love of conviviality so great, that
he fell a victim to it at the early age of thirty-
three. If we remember rightly, Wraxall has
related many pleasant festive anecdotes of him
in his Memoirs; and his character shows to
great advantage in &abbe's Life, prefixed
to the last edition of his poems. " Marshal
Blucher" is an interesting review of a bio-
graphical memoir of this veteran warrior, pub-
lished recently at Leipsig, from which it
appears that lie was born in 1742., and served
through the latter part of the famous seven year's
war, under the Great Frederick. He was con-
sequently- far advanced in life, when, on the
general rising in Germany against Napoleon's
despotism, he took the command of the Prussian
forces; but few, if any, among his younger
military contemporaries, exhibited more energy
and decision of character.- He was brave as a
lion, an adroit and ready tactition, and, as Bona-
parte observed of the British soldiery, never
knew when he was beaten.. "His jests," says
the Reviewer, "frequently of a description ill
calculated for chaste ears, extorted grim smiles
front lips black with the cartridge, and sent
laughter through the column, while grape-shot
was tearing its ranks. When he checked his
horse in the hottest cannonades to light his pipe
at the linstock of the gunner, the piece was, pro-
bably not the worse served. • Towards the close
of the campaign in France, the infirmities of age
at one moment almost induced, him to contem-
plate the abandonment of his command, and to
retire into the Netherlands; but the spirit tri-
umphed over time flesh, and though unable to
remain in the saddle for the last attack on Mont-
martre, he gave his orders with calmness and
precision from a carriage. llis appearance on
this occasion must have taxed the geavity of his
staff, for, to protect his eyes, then in a state of
violent inflammation, the. grisly vetern hail re-
placed his cocked-bat by a French lady's bonnet
and veil !" We quote an amusing extract, re-
specting Blucher and Wellington, while engaged
in the battle of Waterloo :
" The 18th saw Mueller again in the saddle, at the
head of Bulow's newly-arrived division, urging Its
onward course, and his own, like Milton's griffin
through the wilderness, cheering the march-worn
troops till the defile of St. Lambert rang to his old
war-.cry and. soubriquet _l:lor.tvards'—reminding them
of the rain which had spared so much powder at the
Katzbach, and telling them of the promise of assist-
ance which he stood pledged.tO,redeem to the Eng-
lish. Nobly,' indeed, was that promise redeemed, and
the utter ruin of the French army is to be ascribed
to that assistance. IJngrateful we should be not to
acknowledge such service, though we cannot subscribe
to the theories, whether French or Prussian, which
gave it the full merit of saving from destruction an
army which had, while as yet unsupported, repulsed
every attack and annihilated thoi French cavalry.
We know that no thought of disastrous a result
crossed the-minds of those about the Duke's person,
and that officers of his staff who left the field wounded
towards the close. of the action, did so with no other
feeling of anxiety than for the personal safety of him
they lilt behind. His servants, who, in the village of
Waterloo, had the opportunity of witnessing the inci-
dents of the rear of such a battle—which try the
nerves more than'those of the fray itself—knew their
master well. The manceuvreS 'of..the kitchen were
conducted with as much precision as those of the
Foot-guards at St. James's. Reign what confusion
there might in the avenue of Soignies, there was none
in the service of the Duke's table, and the honour of
the Vattel of his establishment was preserved free
from stain as his own.

" That he ever returned to eat the dinner so pre-
pared was certainly not due to any avoidance of per-
sonal exposure on his own part. Of Buonaparte's
conduct in that respect on this his last field-day we
have seen no account on which we could rely. We
have no doubt of his sang froid under fire; but whe-
ther Waterloo witnessed its conspicuous display we
are ignorant. On divers celebrated occasions he is
known to have abundantly exposed himself; but in
general he would seem to have been as free as our
• own commander from the vulgar ostentation of court-
ing danger, and in most of his greater battles there
was little call fur it. We have heard that Bertrand,
at St. Helena, set much store by an opera•glass
through which Napoleon had discovered the Eugl4,li
General at Waterloo. We believe that niiitlior the
Duke nor his staff succeeded at any moment of the.
action in identifying the person or exact position of
his great opponent, though few great battles have
brought rival leaders so near. That our chief was
everywhere except in the rear is'well linown; and the
'casualties among his own staff, of whom many were
hit at his side, bespeak the hot service he went
through. Danger pursued him to the lot: Alta

hagen rather more fareees flok tittle gentleman in

In speaking incidentally of the battle ,of
Waterloo, the Review tAiOs the oppinlunity of
exposing some of AlivAlisau‘s ntis-statements on
the suleeet; in his "History of the French Ro,
Volution," and in reference to his assertions that
the Duke occasionally threw hinlSelf into a

Reviewer next proceeds to com-
ment on the historian's statement that the Duke
of Wellington was surprised by Napoleon, and
proves, we think, quite satisfactorily, that the
statement is wholly without buridation. " Poems
by AlfVed Tennyson" is a favourable notice of
tl:e works of the most promising young poet of
the day, whose " Loeksley Hall"--a production
full of -original beauty—displays much of that
force of expreSsiou and fervor of emotion, which
we find in some 'of the ntiuor poems of Lord
Byron. Mr. Tennyson has all the luxuriant
imaery of Ideates, without any of his effemis
nate sensibility, and wilfhl caprices of rhyme.
He feels strongly, and occasionally evinces much
subtle power of thought but he should beware
of dabbling; in metaphysics, which is the rock on
which Coleridge split. The "Orestea of Eschy-
lus" is evidently the production of a sound clas-
sical scholar, and of one, too, whose heart is in
his subje.A. " Policy of Sir Robert Peel" has
already been noticed in The Sun. It is unmea-
sured praise throughout, and even defends the
Income-Tax, on the grounds of its "novelty,"
e ble
and "objectionable character." Objctiona
enough, it is Ciod knows; but as to its " no-
velty, it is so far from being novel, that it is
neither more nor less than a State pla4iaristu
from the Whigs.

AN AWKWARD '. MISTAKE.
ARREST OF THF, DUKE OF BRUNSWICK
ON SUSPICION OF BEING ONE OF THE
SWELL MOB.
Most of our readers are aware of the extensive rob-
bery committed at Preston on Monday se'nnight,
during the celebration of the Guild, by a party of ac-
complished swindlers, who succeeded in introducing
themselves to Mr. Marquis, of Accrington, and easing
him of, his pocket-book, containing 1,900/. in Bank of
England notes, and 100 sovereigns. In the evening
of the Thursday following, a dashingly-attired fo-
reigner entered one of the hotels in that town, and
called for a pint of wine, tendering a 51. Bank of
England note in payment. The waiter having heard
a description of' the persons by whom the robbery of
Mr. Marquis had been effected, fancied that the per-
sonal appearance of the strange guest tallied
with that of one of the parties implicated
in the theft ; and this supposition - was con-
verted into almost absolute certainty when
the fbrmer withdrew from his purse a note
of the identical hank %%hose promissory obli-
gations constituted the hulk of the stolen property.
Fired with the supposed discovery, he communicated
his suspicions to the proprietor of the hotel, who i on-
curred in the probability of the supposition, and de-
spatched a messenger in quest of a policeman, who
was ushered into the room where the supposed "con-
veyancer" was luxuriously reclining on an ottoman,
and humming snatches of an opera time, when his,
privacy w thus rudely disturbed. The constable,
without ceremony marched up to the sofa, grasped its
occupant by the collar, and after stating the nature
of the charge against him, blandly desired the favour
of his company to the station-house. Words are
wanting to describe the mingled air of rage and asto-
nishment with which the " strange gentleman" re•
ceived this intimation, and its accompanying infringe-

of his assertions referred to the owner of the mansion
where he had taken up his stay, and also to several iii.,-
tinguished individuals whom he named. On inquiry
this statement proved correct, and his Serene high-
ness, after being literally overwhelmed with apolo-
gies and protestations of regret for the blunder which
had placed him in so awkward a predicament, took
his departure, accompanied by Baron Andlau, his
equerry, who reached the station-house at the moment.
of his royal master's liberation. The Prince, we under..
stand, has since received from Samuel Horrocks, Esc,
the Mayor of Preston, a most handsome apology far
