THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.

IT is well known that by the above phrase the eloquent Orator meant to designate a friend of his, the Author of the
following WORKS, and of many others well known to the Public and to the Scholastic World; Works, whose successive publication
during the last Thirty-four Years, have so eminently tended to produce that astonishing march of intellect which characterizes the present Age.
The BOOKS announced beneath, whose importance is in the inverse ratio of their bulk, and their unpretending appeanusee, arc pert of a NEW
SERIES, resulting at once from long experience, and from improvements handed on improvements.

LIAMENTARY, AND COMMON LAW OFFICE,
41, ST AMFORD-STREET, LONDON.
MANY Merchants, Tradesmen, and others, having sus-
twined very considerable loss in allowing the contraction of
Debts on Credit, to recover which, by the usual process of law, they am
exposed to great risk and expense, to the well-known prejudice of mer-
cantile and other transanctions—THOMAS TOOKE, Solicitor, of
41, Stamford.street, begs to announce that he has been requested by
many of his Clients and Friends to limit one part of his practice to
the recovery of Small Debts exclusively.
In adopting the suggestion, Mr. TOOKE begs to add, that he put.
poses reviving the practice of County Courts by Writ of Justices,
under which Debts to any amount may be recovered, and other causes
of action tried thereby : and it is worthy of remark, that the Writ of
Justifies may be directed to the Sheriff of any English County or
City. With reference to the expense attending the summary and
effective proceeding by Writ of Justifies, It is worthy of remark.
also, that under no ordinary circumstance can the same exceed
EIGHT POUNDS, and the plaintiff can rely upon a final decision of
his suit within the space of a few weeks at that comparatively trifling
risk and expense. In order therefore to bring into general usage, and
to establish so useful a branch of practice, Mr. TOOKE solicits the pa.
tronage of the public, that the tendercy may be that of affording to the
honest, but unfortunate Defendant, use weans of arranging with his
Creditors, and to the latter a guarantee against the great risk and ex.
pense attending the Institution of Suits in the Superior Courts, the
effect of which, has in too many instances proved ruinous to both
parties. . _ .

IMPORTANT AND CURIOUS INTELLIGENCE FROM
THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS.
We have this day received a file of the Singapore Chronicle,
of a recent date, from wbich we make the following interest-
ing extracts :—" We have been favored by the free-trader,
Sophia, with some interesting documents, originally printed
at the Mission Presses of Tahiti, (more commonly but
erroneously known by the name of Otabeite,) and the Sand-
wich Islands. The documents respecting the latter islands
sufficiently demonstrate the great interest the government of
the United States of America take in them, which we ought
not to be surprized at, as their citizens command, almost
entirely, the extensive trade carried on there. The influence
over the minds of the natives by the Missionaries, is
great;
and from their knowledge of the language, all com-
outmications with tile Government of those islands, are
earned on through them, whether political or other-
wise. The English, having no Missionaries now, on those
islands,* all the communications of the American govern-
ment, with that of the Sandwich Islands, whether respect-
ing treaties, or otherwise, must therefore be carried on by
trties naturally favorable only to American interests.—
he neglect of the British government, in not sending men-
of-war to visit the Group, and the attention of the govern-
ment of the United States, in sending vessels of war, fre-
quently, influence the minds (ever variable), of the native
government, in favour of those from whom they receive the
greatest attention, and presents. The Americans have lau-
dably persevered in their intercourse, and enjoy all its com-
e mercial advantages, which we have neglected ; and they have,
' and no doubt, will still continue to enjoy the benefits result
ing from our valuable discoveries. These islands certainly
require the attention of the British government as they pos-
sess an extensive and still increasing trade, as well as having
an importance from their geographical position."
THE VISIT OF THE SHIP OF WAR VINCENNES TO
THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
The Ship of War Vincennes, Capt. Finch, arrived at Hilo Hawaii,
on the 2nd, and at Honolulu, Oahu, on the 14th of October.
On the 15th Captain Finch and his officers met the king and chiefs,
at the palace of Kauikeoauli, where they were gratified with a friendly
reception.
The commander of the Vincennes then read • communication of his
own to the King. and gave hint both the original and a translation in
the native language. He then read also the communication from the
President of the United States to the King of the Sandwich Islands,
, which he had brought; the same being read also from • translation into
the native language, was delivered into the hands of the king.
This being finished, Capt. Finch delivered the presents which the
President had sent. A pair of globes, terrestrial and celestial, and a
map of the United States to the King. A silver rase to Kaabumanu,
with her name and the American arms upon it. Two silver goblets to
Nabienaena, with her name and the American arms. A map of the
world to Gov. Boki; and also a map of the world to Guy. Adams.
The following are the above named communications which are now
published by the request of the King and Chiefs, and with the con- sent of Capt. F.
KING TAMA•MAHAR I
The President has confided to my care a written communication fur
yourself, and such counsellors as you rely upon • accompany it with
various presents, for each ;in testimony of the good opinion he enter-
tains for you, individually, and to evince his desire fur amity and con-
fidence, in all intercourse that may subsist, between your people and
my countrymen.
That the genuineness of the letter may not be questioned which
might have been the use, if the transmission had been entrusted to
casual conveyance; and to make it the more honourable to yourself,
he has dispatched a ship of war for this and other purposes: and it is
enjoined upon me as the commander, to deliver it in person him you'
keeping ; to re-iterate the expressions of good will which it contains ;
and to exhibit by my own deportment, the sincerity of the motives
able:. has actuated hint.
The friendly and kind reception afforded to one other national ship,
the Peacock, has been most favourably represented by her commander,
and doubtless has cundue,d greatly to the visit which I now make.
The improving state of your people
_ has also been so interestingly
described by one of your Mends, Rev. Mr. Stewart, now beside me,
as to awaken among my countrymen at large, great benevolence or
feeling towards you ; and it will be my duty, and I trust I shall
be warranted, on my return among them, to strengthen their pre.
possessions in your favour, and to modern the accounts of the good
traits of chaactet of our new acquaintances the islanders, subject to
your authority.
With your leave, I will now acquit myself of the pleasing duty
devolving upon me by reading and handing the document adverted
to; which illustrates the light in which the President wishes to bold
your nation ; and upon which you will, I hop:, ponder often, de-
liberately and fully.
The presents I a:so ask permission to distribute amongst thow of
your faithful friends for whom they are intended ; trusting that they
' will tend to enlargement of knowledge, invite to social and rational en-
joyments; and further, secute enduring recollections of the /11.141i1.11Ceb
which I give of the disitaerested friendship of the President and
Government of the Urine(' States, and of their inclination to per-
petuate the peaceable condition happiness, and well doing, indi-
vidually and collectively, of those who by your wisdom arc sup-
ported ; and whose support will increase. by a sense of their neces-
sities and your justice.
