EDUCATION-UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREW'S.

THE Rev. JAMES HUNTER, Professor of
Logic and Rhetoric in this University, proposes to receive a
few Young Gentlemen into his family, as boarders and domestic
Pupils.--The advantages of St. Andrew's, both as a place of resi-
dance and of education, are great, and in some respects peculiar.
The situation on the iea coast renders it extremely healthful, and
the excellent bathing sands, and extensive downs, are favourable
to all sorts of exercises ; while its remoteness from the dissipation
of a great city, or the profligacy of a trading town, affords a sacu
rhy to the morals of youth, that cannot often be found in any
public Seminary.
All the ordinary branches of learning, including Greek, Latin,
Logic, Ethics, Natural Philosophy, Mathematics, and I listory, are
taught by the most eminent Profeesors,in a course of seven mouths,
extending from November till May. Mr. Hunter having formerly
resided for somo years on the Continent has been lately induced
to open a private class for Paunch ; and such of his domestic Pupils
as wish to practise speaking that Language, may have the daily he.
refit of h 6 conversation. All the young men attending the Un:-
srersity, have access to a great Public Library,. There is in the
place a respectable congregation. in communion with the Church
of England, under a regular Clergyinzu of that Church.
Mr. Hunter's Pupils may either reside with him through the
vacation or not, as they think proper. His terms, which will
vary according to the age of the Pupil, and the extent of accom-
modation required, may be learned, along with any other parti-
culars addressed to him at St. Andrew's
United College, St. Andrew's, August, 1808.

" It is of importance that every man should be entitled to know
something of the laws of life, the nature of disease, and the most
rational modes of cure; for this purpose Dr. Reece's book is better

While the eyes of the public are turned with hope and expec-
tance towards the regeneration of the Spanish Kingdom, all in-
formation respecting the character of the people and state of the
country, particularly in a military point of view, must be highly
accepuble. The Memoirs of Carleton were written during that
memorable war, in which the Catalonian Insurgents, supported by
an auxiliary British Force, drove the French from Madrid, and
forced them to recross the Pyrenees ; when it was, as now, the
common cry, in the streets of the Spanish Capital,
" Paz con la Inglaterra, y con todo el mundo la gnerra."
_ . .

It is the work of an eya.witness, and actor in the scenes he re-
cords, and was esteemed by the late Dr. Johns= to contain the
best and most authentic account cf the campaigns of the gallant
Earl of Peterborough.
