EDUCATI(►N.

A Highly respectable BOARDING SCHOOL for
.11 YOUNG GENTLEMEN, six miles from London.
Terms Twenty and Twenty-Two Guineas per annum. The
pupils in this Establishment are led to feel an interest in learn-
ing, its utility being recommended by kind treatment ; the
constant fear of correction, which is the principal cause of so
many youths disappointing the expectations of their parents, is
thereby avoided. The domestic arrangements are conducted
by the Preceptor's wife, whose whole time is occupied in con-
tributing to the happiness and welfare of those under her care,
and every solicitude is manifested to combine scholastic advan-
tages with the comforts of home. The situation is healthy,
and the sleeping apartments, school-rooms, play-rooms, &c.,
are large and well ventilated. The play and pleasure grounds
are very extensive and convenient, havine been fitted up with
apparatus for gymnastic, manual, and drilling exercises, bath-
ing, &c., which are at all times superintended by a master,
and materially add to the amusement and health of the pupils.
Pupils may be removed at any time without previous notice. A
prospectus will be sent in answer to letters, post paid, to S. 0.,
at 29, Mount-street, Westminster-road.

DINNER TO LORD ASHBURTON.

At the dinner given to Lord Ashburton the follow-
ing song, written for the occasion by Dr. Mulllen-
burgh, President of the College at Flushing, was sung
by Mr. Horn :
" All hail to Britannia !—henceforth we are one !
And hail to our guest—her American son !
O'er the lion and eagle now hovers the dove :
'l'o-day there's a banquet of national love.
Chorus-0 long live their glory, united and free !
The imperial west and the queen of the sea.
" The cross of St. George and Columbia's stars !
Oh ne'er be they stained in unnatural wars ;
With the olive entwine them—a sign to the world,
Of freedom and peace wherever unfurled.
Chorus-0 long live their glory, united and free !
The ,imperial west and the queen of the sea.
•By our ancestors' blood—by the spirit they breathed ;
By their time-honoured laws—by the rights they
bequeathed :
By the muses, the sages, of soul-ruling powers ;
By a Burke and a Chatham, though Britain's, yet our's;
Chorus-0 long live their glory, united and free!
The imperial west and the queen of the sea.
" By letters, by science, by all that can bind,
In links never broke, heart to heart, mind to mind ;
More than all, by our faith, that bulwark of might,
To the ruler and ruled—Magna Charts of right ;
Chorus—along live their glory united and free I
The imperial west and the queen of the sea!
" Bright day fur the earth, when her two freest lands
In concord anew have plighted their hands.
One more to the compacts by Liberty sealed,
For the sake of mankind to be never repealed.
Chorus-1 hen long live their glory, united and free!
The imperial west, and the queen of the sea!"
Several letters were read from distinguished indi-
viluals who had been invited to attend the dinner,
but whose engagements prevented them from so
doing; among others the following one from the
United States Attorney-General :
" Washington, Aug. 29, 1842.
" Gentlemen,—l have had the honour to receive
your letter of the 25th inst., inviting me to a public
dinner given by merchants and other citizens of New
York to the Right Hon. Lord Ashburton, on Thurs-
day, the Ist of September.
" Be pleased to accept my thanks for your kind-
ness, and the assurance of my very sincere regret that
circumstances will not permit me to profit by it.
" Were it only to have an opportunity of publicly
expressing the sense I entertain of the admirable
temper and judgment, the clear, candid, and concilia-
tory spirit that have marked the whole conduct of
your distinguished guest, in the management of a dis-
cussion as delicate and complicated as it has ever fallen
to the lot of any single diplomatist to conduct, it would
have afforded me the highest pleasure to share with
you in the gratulations befitting so auspicious an occa-
sion. It has been his good fortune, I trust, to succeed
in making not merely a treaty of peace, but a peace_
independent of all treaty—a peace in the hearts of
two great nations—and by inspiring feelings of
mutual confidence and respect, in at once removing
the Causes of any immediate rupture, and diminish-
ing infinitely the chances of any future collision.
"If I do not greatly overrate the importance
of this event, it will mark an era in the history of
diplomatic intercourse and of public law. The mere
etiquette, the unmeaning mysteries and mummeries
of negOtiation were dispensed with, and questions in
which the peace of the world and the independence
of nations were deeply concerned, have been discussed
with the calm and sober reason, the strict and search-
ing analysis, the gravity, directness, and simplicity of
purpose that belong to the severest judicial investi-
gation.
"The two high contracting parties sought peace
in the spirit of peace,' and they have found it in the
clear and immutable principles of international law,
and in the plain rules of justice and good faith.
" I will not permit myself to doubt for a moment
that a treaty conceived in such a spirit, and founded
on such a basis, will be equally beneficial and accept-
able to all concerned in it.

" To us, whose federal government, were it ever so
imperfect in other respects, would be merely as a
guaranty of internal quiet, a blessing beycnd all price
—who have, by this means, sheathed for ever the
sword as an arbiter between States, and consecrated,
so to speak, a whole continent to a perpetual peace
and the reign of the law, every prospect of diffusing
the same spirit among independent powers in their in-
tercourse w ith one another ought to be peculiarly a
subject for rejoicing.
" I will, with your permission, embody these sen-
timents in the language of one of the most illustrious
ornaments of our common mother tongue. I will
give you as my own fervent wish—
" A speedy diffusion among nations of a profound
respect for the' law of nations—that law, of which
more. than of any other it may be said-=that t her seat
is the bosom of God, and her voice the harmony of
the world.
" I have the honour to be,. with sentiments of the
highest consideration, Gentlemen, your obliged and
obedient servant, •" H. S. LEGARE.
" To Messrs. James D. P. Ogden, James G. King,
and others, Committee, 4c."

A few words to bring out into bolder relief the
reckless spirit of the milers at Lord Ashburton's
treaty will not be thrown away. Old stories are raked
up to show that the negotiator has American leanings.
One of his speeches in 1825 is recalled to memory—
" It is impossible that Canada can continue to be very
long a colony of Great Britain." This was said by
Lord Ashburton as a member of the Whig party, and
with the approval of that party. Lord Palmerston
was then in the Tory ranks, and if not right he is at
least consistent with his repro'lation ; but his present
Whig followers ? Lord Ashburton's speech in 1825
was no expression of undue bias to America, but the
expression of an opinion—that sooner or later all great
and enlightened communities will exercise the right
echoosner their own form of Government—which we
believe was once universally recognised by all Liberal
politicians. If Canada is to remain connected with
• this country, it must be kept by other and more vital
measures than boundary line arrangements. Again,
Lord Ashburton is rated for having in a speech at
Boston called that city " the old cradle of liberty."
Was it not? was it not the sacredground on which the
Pilgrim Fathers first set foot in the New World ? It
is a hallowed spot in the eyes of the freemen, even
though " old Falwell" and the conversion of, Boston
harbour into a teapot be left out of the question. But,
looking upon Americansofthe United States as sprung
from the same parents as ourselves—as English both
in their virtues and vices—Liberals at least have been
accustomed to regard the war of independence in
America in the same light as they regard the war be-
t aven Roundheads and 'Cavaliers in this island, and,
admitting the merits of the Royalists in both strug-
gles, to hold that justice was in both on the side ofl
the Republicans. It is somewhat new, at this time
of the day, to hear one who professes to be a Whig and
something more, scandalized by approbation of " suc-
cessful revolt." Bentham taught men to speak lightly
of the old Whigs ; but what would an old Whig—
what would Fox or even Burke think of the new,
could they hear such language ? " Who is Silly
Billy now ?" was once asked of a Liberal Monarch :
" Who are the Tories now ?" maybe asked of those
who yelped " keep out the Tories.
This appeal to obsolete prejudices against the Ame-
ricans is in admirable keeping with the tone virtually
recommended to be adopted towards foreign States.
We are reminded, that, "when a Persian Governor
enforces the ordinary custom-house laws on a Russian
merchant, the Russian Ambassador at Tehran insists
upon having the Persian Governor sent to hint in
chains ; and in chains he is sent;" and that when a
Governor of Tangiers gives offence to the French,
" they send a ship-of-war; the captain demands to
have half-a-dozen of the chief Moors bastinadoed in
his presence; and forthwith it is done." And then
comes the application : " And does the commerce of
these nations derive no advantage from this vigorous
administration of their foreign policy?—Most un-
doubtedly' it does derive the greatest advantage, and
frequently much to the prejudice of ours." It is to
pave the way to the revival of this doctrine, that the
attempt has-been made to revive the extinct Tory
prejudice that the Americans are rebels to British]
supremacy; to insinuate that Lord Ashburton is half
an American in his heart ; and to caricature all advo-
cates of a pacific policy as " extreme members of the
Liberal party," who wish to concentrate all attention
upon home questions, because " they think that ill
the body politic, as in the body physical, two inflam-
mations cannot co-exist, and they wish that all the
inflammatory action should be brought to bear upon
the organic changes which they labour to brmug
about: Almost the language of the Church and
King mobs at the time when Priestley's house was
sacked : "The Ethiopian cannot change his skin,
nor the leopard his spots :" Lord Palmerston cannot
get rid of the principles of the first twenty years of
his thirty years' tenure of office. Ile—or the Morn-
;lig Chronicle, " which amounts exactly to the same
thing"—insults the leader of the " Sufficient Suffrage"
movement, (who disapproves of all war,) and the
leader of the Anti-Corn-law movement, (who got
a meeting in Manchester against the Chinese war,) at
the very time that he is ambitious of bein made
leader of the movement ; and he denounces the prin-
ciples of Charles James Fox as sedition, at the same
time that he is inviting Lord John Russell, the head
of the Foxites, to become a Radical along with him!
We have a war faction at home as well as across the
Channel, only the leader of the British one is scarcely
so brilliant a demagogue as Thiers.

FoatnGN HAavEsr.—The harvest is almost 'en-
tirely gathered in throughout the cast of Europe, and
we are enabled to. furnish the following comparath'e
estimates, collected •from the most accurate accounts.
In Silesia there has been a good average harvest. In
Poland, Galieia, and the Duchy of Posen, there has
been a decidedly good harvest, and the same may be said
in regard to Russia. In Hungary the crops have been
most satisfactory ; and in the Banat, which is regarded
as the granary of the country, they are doubly as pro-
ductive as last year. In Transylvania and the Turk-
ish provinces, the harvest has been most plentiful. Si-
milar abundance has also been experienced in Moravia.
Everywhere the grain is of good quality, and yields
from 15 to 20 per cent, more flour than in humid
years. It may, therefore, be predicted that, in the
east of Europe, the price of wheat will fall instead of
rising, even though foreign demand should be very
great.
THE COTTON MARKET.--A very limited business
was done in this market during the past week. Prices
showeda slight tendency to decline, until Friday,
when the extensive destruction of cotton by fire on
the morning of that day had the effect of hardening
the market. On Saturday a fair business was done,
1,000 bags having been taken on speculation, and
prices were, at least, id. per lb. higher than they had
been on Thursday. Estimates differ as to the quan-
tity of cotton destroyed by the fire ; but it has been
ascertained by the insurance offices, that the quantity
is not less than 46,000 bags ; and the warehouse-
keepers estimate, that there were, at least, 10,000 bags
more; making together 56,000 hays, which, at the
average value of 8/. per bag, will give a total loss of
448,0001. A destruction so immense must have an
important bearing on the price of the staple during
the remainder of the year. The 56,000 bags thus
destroyed may be considered as equal to the average
consumption of the manufacturers for three weeks.
It will go very far to compensate, in its effect on the
value of cotton, the holders for the loss they may be
supposed to have sustained in the diminution in price
by the cessation of the demand for consumption,
caused by the recent turn-out of the workmen in the
manufacturing districts. An advance in price is,
therefore, extremely probable.—Liverpool
GIBRALTAR, Atm. 27.—Yesterday being the mini-
versary of Prince Albert's birthday, the Royal standard
was hoisted, early in the morning, at the New Mole:
Montague Flag Staff, and on board her Majesty's ship
Formidable, and the union jack at the Upper Signal sta-
tion, At twelve o'clock Royal salutes were tired from
the batteries, her Majesty's ships Formidable, Thun-
derer, Belvidere, and United States frigate Congress.
The Earl of Yarborough's yacht Kestrel, had the red and
blue ensigns hoisted throughout the day. This yacht
left Gibraltar on the 29th ult. While the Kestrel was in
the Straits of Gibraltar, she frequently. accompanied the
Formidable and the Thunderer in their cruizes, testing
their sailing qualities, the Earl of Yarborough being
the umpire on those occasions. Her last cruise with
those vessel, was from Malaga, which place they left to-
gether but in the night, parting company, the Kestrel
