EDUCATION.
riIHE ATTENTION of Parents desirous of affording to
-1 their Children au Education in accordance with the
increased: intelligence and the wants of the age, is directed
to an Establishment situated in one of the most fertile and
healthy counties of England, conducted by a,Gentleman who
is a member of a German :University of thehighest celebrity,
and of several learned 'bodies. The Cpurse of Instruction,
founded on the most approved systems, comprehends the.
GREEK and LATIN CLASSICS, the FRENCH, GER-
MAN, and 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,
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
years on the Continent, and travelled much, he is intimately
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
it a sound Classical and Mathematical Education, together
with the most assiduous Instruction in the principal Lan-
guages of Europe; so that, on entering one of our Universi-
ties, or some Profession, civil, military, or naval, they may
be competent to engage in more enlarged studies, with un-
usual advantages.

Letters to the Principal of Albion House School, Wo
cester, will receive immediate attention.

THE UNITED STATES

The following appeared in our second edition of
Friday last:—

By the packet-ship England, Captain Waite, which
arrived here this morning, we have received New York
papers to the 19th ultimo, inclusive. They contain
some further accounts respecting the devastations com-
mitted by the great floods and storms in the south.
The latest of these state that the Mississippi had been
slowly on the decline for several days. The informa-
tion from the streams above the Grand Gulf was also
gratifying, as they were all falling more or less. On
that part of the Red River, known as the Regolets de
hon Dieu, all the lowlands and plantations were under
water. In the Gaillard settlement dwelling-houses and
cotton, gins were
.afloat. The lower part of the Red
River was one continuous sheet of water, from 45 to
GO miles wide, from the lowlands of the parish of Avoy-
olee to the highlands at Fort Adams. For 40 miles
above the mouth, the bed of the river was not to be
seen. There would be, it is said, an immense losS of
the cotton crop on the Red River. The overflow was
greater than that of 1828.
Fresh disasters had occurred in Florida from the in•
cursions of the Indians. In one skirmish that had re-
cently taken place, the Indians killed eleven men, (in-
chiding the commanding officer of the detachment)
and severely wounded seven more.
From the Morning Courier and Enquirer of June
18, we learn that_ a good amount of business had been
done in stocks the day before, and that a general im-
provement in rates had taken place. The business in
sterling exchange had been very limited. The cotton
market continued firm. Flour was dull. It is also
stated, in the commercial article of the same paper, that
the important failures at Havana proceeded from the
same cause as those which had taken place in the south-
ern cities—advances made to the planters, which the
fall in their principal articles of produce had taken
from them the ability to pay.
From the Commercial Adrertis&r of June 19 we
learn that the Great Western had arrived the day be-
fore at New York, having accomplished the passage in
the short Period of fourteen days.
In reviewing the state of the markets, Hale's Price
Current remarks that a large proportion of the heavy
imports of last year was consumed at the South and
South West, and was yet unpaid for, and that those
sections of the union did not possess the means of
payment. The cotton crop had been large, but it was
selling at low prices, and the expenses of its cultivation
had been incurred in a season of high prices for sup-
plies. The planters were, therefore, possessed of no
surplus from the sales of their cotton, applicable to
the p_ayment of their debts. The banks of the South
and West could collect nothing of the larger amounts
due to them, and they were daily sinking deeper in
insolvency. The credit of the Mississippi banks was
gone. Florida and Alabama were also in a distressed
condition. On the whole, there appeared to be no
reason to hope for a revival of trade in those quarters.
The resumption of the banks would depend entirely
upon the course pursued by the United States Bank.
Until a general resumption took place there could be
no equalisation of internal exchanges, which were in a
very deranged position. Money was exceedingly plen-
tiful both in New York and Philadelphia, as well as in
Boston, and might be had on proper securities at less
than the legal rate.

Cotton remained in good demand at improving
prices. The advance within three weeks had been at
least one cent per lb. The imports for the last week at
New York had been 3500 bales. The stock in hand was
estimated at 20,000 bales, not including 3,000 that
had been withdrawn from the market. The entire
crop, it was calculated, would reach 2,130,000 bales.
The exports, since the Ist of October, had amounted
to
h 1,500,
1000 bales, being 600,000 bales over last year.
At te atest accounts very large quantities were ar-
riving at the Texian sea-ports from the interior. following are the last
q The Florida,
uotations for New York :
Florida, 61 to 9; Upland, 61- to 94 ; New Orleans, 7
to 10 ; Mobile, 7 to 10k.
The business in foreign exchange for the packet had
been limited, and the rate on London had declined to
6/ to 61; on Havre, 5.30 to 5.32 ; Bremen, 7n ;
Holland, 391; Hamburg, 35k. Freights were not so
brisk as they had been.
By the last accounts from Campeachy, 1130 place
was still besieged by the sea and land forces of he
Federal party.
