COAST OF FINLAND.

The following is a notice of an alteration In Perkalout Light.
house, or, as in the English charts, of Renskar Light-house, on the
north shore of the Gulf of Finland, which will be furnished with a
revolving light on the 6th (18) of October. Its motions will be as
follows, to distinguish it from the light of Nargen, on the south shore:
1. The light will appear for the space of one minute and a half.
2. It will be darkened 35 seconds.
5. The light will appear for 20 seconds.

4. It will be darkeWed 35 seconds.

Thus closes one entire revolution, and it recommences with No. 1.
Notice of the completion of the Fidsand Light-houses —On the
:oth of September (Oct. 2), both light-hoeses will be lighted ; their
distance front one another is 6.:0 feet. The old one to the south.
ward is 110 feet high from the level of the water; the new one to
the northward 100 feet.

&A lights are stationary, to prevent the possibility of their being
mistaken for that of Dagerort, which is a revolving light.

READING WOOL.
. .

Those Who have paid atteation to the moral as well as
intellectual tesults of education at public schools of clas-
sical learning, have frequently contemned the custom
of theatrical exhibitions, which take place periodically
at most of them. Their objections, though variously
stated, may be resolved into one—that this public
display is apt to engender a taste for dramatic amuse-
ments, inconsistent with thossiserious and more dignified
objects to which the boys at such institutions are almost
always destined. Plausible as the objection seems, we
doubt its soundness. If we look back to the history of
actors, there are very few i ndeed who have been brought
up at public schools : in t imes past, BoomH, the repre-
sentator cf Anorsores Cato, is almost the only instance;
and at pt esent, Yount:: is, we believe, the only performer
who received that kind of education ; and he was at
Eton, where they do not act plays. At all events, the
evil complained of, if not imaginary, is at least so rare,
that no valid argument can be derived from it to counter-
balance the great advantage which it appears to us to pos-
sess. It is said by the opponents of the English system of
classical education, that it teaches words rather than
things—that it dogs the memory without exercising the
judgment; and that the boy who issues from one trif our
Universities loaded with the honours of the place, is ge-
nerally a mere parrot, filled with pretty conceits and
phrases, learned by rote, and not a thinking being,
with opinions formed by his own observation and re-
flection. If this is sometimes the case, and we do not
' deny the fact, we think that no better plan could be de-
vised to secure the attainment of a habit of thought in
boys, than the occasional exercise of their faculties in
the performance of a play. A boy may get a hundred
lines by heart, and reaeat them, without employing a
moment's reflection upon the force or beauty of the
words he utters : but he can scarcely act the same num-
ber of lines, without at least beginning to ponder on
their sense; and we should hold it to be almost impos-
sible for him to act them well, without meditating a
great deal upon their full bearing, and without feeling
the true spirit in which they were written. Here, then,
is a clear advantage: the boy is no longer a parrot : he
is made to pause and contemplate the sense, till at last
e is able to understand the full drift of his author, and
to glow with something like a congenial feeling. And
in Yhis view we think it better, on these occasions, to act
agedy than comedy ; because comedy being gene-
rally a mere imitation of manners, may be acted by
boys, who are all naturally mimics, with very little
thought or observation ; but tragedy being a matter of
feeling, requires longer study and deeper reflection.
As the subject is one of importance, we have dedi-
cated more space to it than some of our Readers, per-
haps, may think necessary : it is time now to speak of
the occasion which gave rise to it ; which was, our ac•
cidental presence at the performance of a Greek Tra-
gedy by the scholars of Dr. VALPY, on Friday last. The
play chosen was the Alcestis; and certainly, when we
considered the age of the boy-performers, many of them
not more than 16, and none more than 18 years old, it
was impossible not to be equally pleased and surprised
at the perfect understanding of the sense and feeling of
the dialogue which was manifested by almost all of
them. The most hardy opponent of classical education
could not have said that these boys had learned nothing
but words : he must have allowed that they appreciated
and felt the beautiful thoughts to which they gave such
characteristic and expressive utterance. This was par-
ticularly the case with the three young men who acted
Admetus, Alcestis, and Hercules—parts, all of them, of
no common difficulty, and requiring much considera-
tion and no little judgment.
After the Greek play, Sheridan's drama, The Critic,
was acted with great spirit by the same boys, who
strewed clearly that learning does not (as has been sneer-
ingly said) shut the eyes of its votaries to the :elish of
the beauties of theit native writers.

Having said so much in praise of the representation,
we are sure we shall not be deemed captious if we hint
that we could have dispensed with the hornpipe. Such
things are customary ; but Dr. VALPY may well afford
to break a custom which his good taste must reject.
His learning and talents do not require such adven-
titious aid.

We cannot conclude without saying that the English
Epilogue to the Greek play, which, we understand, was
,written by Mr. TALFOURD, contained some very lively
and clever couplets on the subject of the various pro-
jects for gulling that considerable portion of our coun-
trymen who have more money than wit, or who are in
too great a hurry to get rich to care about the means.

Letters have been received from some of the Ofge;
engaged in the capture of Rangoon. They convey in-
formation as to the subsequent state of affairs in that
city. On the day-following the capture, information
was sent to head-quarters, that a female of rank, who
was called the Queen of Dalla (a town opposite Ran-
goon), was employed in concertifsg a force, which
amounted at that time to nearly one thousand men, and
was erecting stockades. In consequence of this, piquets
had been sent out by Sir A. CAMPBELL, but it was not
intended to attack Dalla until the Queen had assembled
the whole of her force, in order that it might be crushed
at once; The next expedition was to be directed against
Proome, the original boundary of the ancient Burman
empire. It is a larger and more populous town than Ran-
goon,and is only defended by a palisado,with earth thrown
up before it. From this circumstance it was expected
that considerable resistance would be made, and the force
to be sent for its reduction was said to be three thousand
men. No further attempts at negotiation had been made
by the Burmese, although, from one or two natives who
had returned to the town, it was understood that great
consternation reigned among the petty Chiefs in the
neighbourhood.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT MANCHESTER.

FURTHER PARTICULARS FROM THE MANCHESTER

GAiETTC.
It is our painful duty to record one of the most dread-
ful accidents that ever occurred in this or in any neigh-
bouring town. The scene of the melancholy catastrophe
was the factory occupied by Mr. Gough, a cotton-
spinner, which is situate in a new street leading out of
Oldfield-ro.td.—A little after nine o'clock, on Wednes-
day morning, as the people were all diligently- at work,
a portion of the flooring of the top room, embracing the
length of three windows, and about half the width of
the factory, suddenly gave way; and, with the heavy
machinery which it sustained, broke through every suc-
cessive story to the bottom, with 'the rapidity of an
electric shock, and with a dreadful and portentous
crash. The inmates of the factory were seized with the
utmost consternation, imagining that the whole build-
ing was coming down. Some in their eagerness to
escape the impending danger, rushed through the win-
dows, reckless of the consequences; while the door
ways, and winding staircase were thronged with the
work-people, actuated by the most appalling sensa-
tions. The knowledge of this distressing event flew
like wild. fire, and numbers of men were immediately
employed to clear away the enormous mass of rub-"
bash, amongst which were buried eighteen human beings!
—First, an arm or a leg appeared; and presently, the
whole body of a young female, presenting many a hor.
rid and ghastly wound. Then, a shoe or a tattered
bonnet gave tokens of another;—whilst a father or a
brother, who had spades in their hands, would recog-
nise the disfigured and mangled features of a beloved
child or an affectionate sister. And thus, until one
o'clock, was this painful duty continhed, when the
eighteenth and last lifeless body was dug from its un-
timely grave. By this time, the whole town was ap-
prised of the melancholy circumstance, and every ave-
nue leading to the fatal spot was thronged with indivi-
duals of all classes, bearing in their countenances the
most lively pictures of newly-awakened interest and
commiseration. About three o'clock it was ascertained
that fifteen females of various ages, from eleven to
sizty-five, and three young lads, had perished, and their
bodies, some of which were spectacles too shocking to
look upon, were conveyed from the lodge of the fac-
tory, where they had previously been deposited, to a
stable, in the yard, where they were laid out, in such a
manner that their relatives might conveniently identify
them.

Nothing could be more praiseworthy than the diligent
attention of those who extricated the bodies from the
mass of rubbish, or than the humanity with which every
untutored man, who could command a spade, lent his
assistance in the melancholy task. Many who had no
instrument but their hands, lifted up rubbish and bricks
with a solicitude truly honourable to them, and though
among such an uncirected throng of gratuitous labour-
ers, it was apprehended that some might become vic.
tims to the spades of their liberators.
One' young man had a most providential escape.
The factory is six stories high; and he was employed
at his lathe, in No. 5, or the fifth story, at the time the
accident took place. He stood near the window, and
all he can recollect is, that he was struck senseless. On
recovering himself, be found that he was on the ledge
of the window ; and, on looking around, he discovered
his awful situation: the floor on which he had so re-
cently stood presented a yawning gulph, at the bot-
tom A which he beheld his fellow-workwomen dragged
out, mangled and lifeless. A little boy, coo, was car-
ried down several stories (as he described) as easily as
if he had been riding in a coach I
THE INQUEST.
On Thursday morning an Inquest took place at the
Angel Inn, Salford, before J. Milne, Esq. Coroner, and
a Jury. The first witness called upon the occasion was
James Henry, a filer in the cotton-mill in question,
who stated that he had worked in the mill about six
months ; that he did not know how long the mill had
been built ; that David Belhouse's men were at work,
laying the floor, when he was there; that, yesterday
morning, about nine o'clock, he was at work to the fifth
story of the said mill. That he was going down stairs,
and had got the sneck of the door No. 5 room in his
hand, when he heard the flooring of No. 6 room give
way. He did not stop to make any remarks, but got
down stairs as quick as he could. There wee three
men and two boys, besides himself, at work in No. 5;
that the other floors went to the bottom, and a general
confusion took place. That if he must give his opinion,
there was a deficiency in the building altogether; that
the roofs were arched, cast iron beams, and that the
floor was of wood; that, in the cock-loft, there was
some cotton, and a blowing machine. 'Nat he had
seen seventeen dead bodies, men, women, and children.
That during the dinner hour, last summer, he and se-
veral others, who were eating their dinners, observed
that the building was not sate, as there was a crevice
in the front of the mill.

John Taylor, overlooker in Nos. 2 and 3, in the said
mill, stated, that, at different times, he had observed
a settling in various parts of the mill, which he men-
tioned to Mr. Gough, but he (Mr. Gough) did not con-
sider it to be unsafe, conceiving it to be merely the
settling of a new building. That he had seen several
mills ; their mill (Mr. Gough's) was the same, with the
exception of the columns. • In most other mills there
were two rows of columns, but in Mr. Gough's mill
there was only one row of columns ; that had there
been two rows of columns, he could not say whether
the accident would have happened or not. Columns
were usually placed to strengthen the buildings.
Nathan Gough, the proprietor of the mill in question,
stated that about two years ago, David Bellhouse and
Son built the above mill. The foundation is four bricks
in length, and then three bricks to the second story ;
then two and a half to the fourth story; and then two
bricks up to the roof. The mill is six stories high, with
an attic room in the roof. The roof is of imod, in the
usual way, with cast-iron beams to each floor, arched
with bricks, and then flags. The iron work was done
by Bowman, Galloway, and Co. He always looked
upon the building as safe. He believes the accident
arose from a flaw in a beam of No. 6 room. The
beams were laid in the wall from 9 inches 1012 inches.
The beams, he believes, were all proved; the building
was perfictly secure in all other respects, except the
said beam.
The Jury then consultel for a short time, and found
a verdict to the following effect :—" That the deceased
persons were killed by the accidental falling its of a
portion of a cotton-mill, in Salford, the property o
Nathan Gough."

CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, OCT. 18.
Last week the supply of Grain, in general, was tolerably good,
and of Oats it was large, chiefly from the Baltic. This morning
there is but a short fresh arrival of Wheat from Essrs, and only a
middling quantity from Kent. Of Barley there is a fair supply,
and of Beans and Peas the quantity is moderate. The bakers at
present want fresh Flour. and cnr millers being mostly out of stock,
they purchased Wheat this morning freely, and gave cull 3s. per qr.
advance en the terms of last Monday, for the best samples. Barley

ASSASSINA fION AT VINCENNES.

M. Papavoine, the suspected person, is the son of a
cloth manufacturer at Mouy, a small commune of 6000
inhabitants, near Clermont, in the department. He has
been in the Navy ; but since the death of his father, he
has managed the manufactory, which supplied the
Navy with cloth. He was opulent to a certain extent,
ior the manufactory is worth not less than seventy
thousand frame. The two shops are nearly 125 feet in
length, and in them he has twenty-four looms. He is
;aid to be ambitious to wish to make a large fortune,
but there is nothing in his previous conduct to lead to
any suspicion that he would commit so foul a crime.
'The coolness lie displayed, on being confronted with
the two bodies of the children, appears to have forsaken
hint when his house was searched, at the cid de sac &shit
ietre. The visit lasted mot.. than six hours. Very
important papers, it is said, wefts found in his pos es-
sion, which throw light on his guilt, and implicate
other persons,.it is said, who excited him to commit
this crime, by the promise of a large reward. This
discovery affected him, his legs trembled, and he could
Hardly support himself. It was almost necessary to
carry bim to the coach, in which he was conveyed
back to prison. During the journey he looked down,
and paid no attention to anything, and did not speak a
single word. At times he was agitated by convulsive
motions. There is a report in circulation, that some
individuals have been arrested, in consequence of the
examination. Mademoiselle Herrin is in a state of

health that causes much uneasiness. From Mug we
learn, that on the very Sunday when the double mur-
der was committed at Vincennes, the widow Papavoine
had her house at Mouy advertised to sell. A Journal
says that Papavoine belonged to the Custom-house;
hut we Are authorised to say that there is no person of
this name in the Custom house.—Constilutionnci.

YURTRIIII PARTICULARS.
Papavoine has been placed au secret at La Force.
The woman klalservait is also au secret at the Made-
brunettes. Yesterday both the accused were carried
before the Juge Instructeur at the Palais de Justice.
Papavoine continues to deny everything, and remains
perfectly unmoved. In consequence of instructions
from the Judge, people began yesterday to seek among
the grass for the knife, which it is presumed the assassin'
must have thrown away. Papavoine, on being inter-
rogated, traversed the grand hall of the Palais de Jus-
tice in the midst of a very great crowd.—Jourual des
Deirats

The father of the chilJren is, as we have already
stated, Nl.Gerbod, coach maker, Rue de Yemeni). His
father, whom he succeeded, and his mother, have re•
tired to ;clienevieres. This respectable and charitable
family is opulent. and is esteemed by all the inhabitants
of the village.—Courier Francais.
