is a member of a German University of the highest celebrity,10
and of several learned bodies. The Course of Instruction,
founded on the most approved systems, comprehends the
GREEK and LATIN CLASSICS, the FRENCH, GER-
MAN, ani ITALIAN LANGUAGES, TAUGHT BY NA-
TIVES RESIDING IN THE HOUSE; the Elements of ASTRO-
NOMY, the various Branches of Pure and Mixed MATHE-
MATICS, GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, &c.
Impressed with a conviction that no Education can be
complete without an adequate knowledge of modern Lan-
guages, the Principal has made them an essential branch of
Instruction in his School. Having himself resided many

Liy
years on the Continent, and travelled' much,heisTntin;tely
acquainted with the chief Languages of Europe, and enabled
to superintend Instruction in this important department of
knowledge with no inconsiderable advantage to his Pupils.
Altogether, this Establishment will be found to afford to
Pupils possessing average talents the certainty of receiving in

with the most assiduous Instruction in the principal Lan-
guages of Europe; so that, on entering one of our Universi-

APPEAL TO PUBLIC SYMPATHY
IN BEHALF OF THE DESTITUTE UNPAID
BRITISH AUXILIARIES LATE IN THE SERVICE
OF THE QUEENS OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
THE heartrending distress and persecutions to which the
unpaid British auxiliaries have been exposed from four
to six years, whilst attempting to recover their arrears of
pay, after having effectually assisted to place the Queen of
Portugal on her throne, and to prevent the Queen of Spain
from being dethroned, has led the Right Honourable the
Lord Mayor of London, and the four following bankers as-
senting to receive subscriptions in their behalf—Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Smith, Lombard-street; Messrs. Drum-
mond and Co., Charing-cross ; Sir Claude Scott and Co.,
Cavendish-square ; London and County Bank, 71, Lombard-
street. Some idea may be formed of the sufferings which
have been and are still being endured, when it is considered
that from £500,000 to £600,000 are due to the claimants.
It is earnestly hoped that the British people, so ready at all
times to sympathise with the distress of foreigners, will not
be behind-hand on the present occasion in coming to the
rescue of their own countrymen, the victims of treachery
and fraud, after having generously expended their resources
and risked their lives in the cause of freedom and humanity.
It is confidently expected if public sympathy responds gene-
rously to this appeal, that the claimants will not only receive
temporary relief, but will succeed in ultimately obtaining the
most ample redress. A printed account, with a lithographic
illustration of their misfortunes, may be had, gratis, at Gar-
diner's, Princes-street, Cavendish-square.

FEARFUL POSITION IN TRAVELLING ON THE ICE.—After
driving only three wersts, we found our old track completely
obliterated by fresh hummocks and fissures, which rendered
our advance so difficult that we were at last forced to abandon
a part of the stores which we carried. After toiling on for
two wersts more, we found ourselves completely surrounded
by lanes of water, opening mole and more, until, to the west,
the sea appeared completely open with floating ice, and dark
vapours ascending from it obscured the whole horizon. To
the south we still saw what appeared a plain of ice ; but it
consisted only of larger fragments, and even these we could
not reach, as we were separated from them by a wide space of
water. Thus cut off on every side, we awaited the night with
anxiety ; happily for us, both the sea and the air were calm,
and this circumstance, and the expectation of a night frost,
gave us hope. During the night, a gentle breeze sprung up
from the W.N.W. and gradually impelled the ice-island on
which we were towards the east, and nearer to the larger
surface before mentioned. In order to get over the remaining
space, we hooked with poles the smaller pieces of ice which
floated about, and formed with them a kind of bridge which the
night frost cemented sufficiently to admit of our crossing over
before sunrise on the 26th. We had hardly proceeded one werst
when we found ourselves in a fresh labyrinth of lanes of water,
which hemmed us in on every side. As all the floating pieces
around us were smaller than the one on which we stood,
which was 75 fathoms across, and as we saw many certain
indications of an approaching storm, I thought it better to
remain on the larger mass, which offered us somewhat more
security ; and thus we waited quietly whatever Providence
should decree. Dark clouds now rose from the west, and
the whole atmosphere necame filled with a damp vapour. A. strong breeze suddenly sprung up from the west, and in-
creased in less than half-an-hour to a storm. Every moment
huge/ masses of ice around us were dashed against each
other, and broken into a thousand fragments. Our little
party remained fast on our ice island, which was tossed to
and fro by the waves ; we gazed in most painful inactivity
on the wild conflict of the elements, expecting every moment
to be swallowed up. We had been three long hours in this
position; and still the mass of ice beneath us held together,
when suddenly it was caught by the storm, and hurled
against a large field of ice ; the crash was terrific, and the
mass beneath us was shattered into fragments. At that
dreadful moment, when escape seemed impossible, the im-
pulse of self-preservation implanted in every living being
saved us. Instinctively we all sprang at once on the sledgf,
s. and urred the an. tor..ii
