severe in selecting, both from London and the Continent, sue?

verpool decidedly superior to any other single concern in Lot?'
don, or the Empire, the choice of (goods being greater, their
quality the best, and the prices extremely moderate.

THE FRANCIS SPAIGHT.—By the arrival at Guernsey of the
brigantine Magdalen, Captain Lempriere, direct from Prier
Cabras, in the island of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary
Islands, intelligence had been received that that ill-fated vessel'
the Francis Spaight, was found about the latter end of May,
waterlogged, off the Canaries, on the coast of Africa, and towed
into Puerto Cabras by three fishing-boats belonging to the
islands; and, as the Magdalen was there at the time, Captain
Lampriere spared one of his chain cables and an anchor to se-
cure the said vessel, as there was neither anchor nor cable to be
found on board wherewith to bring her up. It aears that the
skeleton of a human body was found in the forecastle, which is
supposed to be that of one of the seamen said to have been
drowned there when she filled with water. This informati°ll
has been communicated by one of the owners of the Magdalen.
who came home in her, and he states that when he went Magdalen
board of the Francis Spaight on the 31st of May last, be fours ,_,
that she was quite a new vessel, and he adds that this was tt's
first voyage which had been performed in her since she Of
launched. He moreover states that there is a great deal °g
loose timber floating in those seas, which may be very injurio:
to vessels navigating in that track unless a sharp look out t
kept on board.
USEFUL INFORMATION FOR SCHOOLS.—Mr. Guy, the auie-a
_
of School Geography, British Spelling Book, School Questioee
Book, &c., has late-Iy published three very valuable works io
General History, at a price so moderate for such a fund of
formation, as cannot fail to insure their introduction into alb
respectable schools. The first is called "Elements of Anciee,
History," including Greece, Egypt, Persia, Carthage,.Rof°,
the Philistines, Phoenicians, Jews, Goths, Huns, &c., %OP:he
copious list of questions for examination at the end of
volume, numbered, to correspond with the figures placed toea‘o.
paragraph throughout the work. It is neatly printed in IPliof
and contains upwards of 300 pages, at the moderate price, is
3s. 6d. very handsomely bound and lettered. The secon_,.
" Elements of Modern History," containing France, Germaul,
Spain, Portugal. Poland, Russia, Prussia, Sweden, Deurntl
Italy, America, &c., and is arranged with questions for en;,,
nation in the same manner, printed and bound in the same fwats
and the price only 3s. 6d. The other volume is called "Elerne'.o
of British History," including England, Scotland, Wales, the
Ireland, with a copious store of questions for examination at ej.•
end of the volume, arranged in the same way as the two pre the
mg, price also 3s. 6d. handsomely bound. Hitherto, even if' eice
most respectable schools, it was only thought necessary to illor
youth acquainted with the histories of Greece, Rome, and
land; indeed no work in a moderate compass embracing
other interesting portions of general history could be fou;et.
How Mr. Guy has supplied this deficiency these very ioter the
ing volumes will sufficiently prove—they fill up a void in ay
school library which has long been wanted ; and it may he,., of
serted without fear of contradiction, that so large a porti:wie
history has not in any work been exhibited withiss
compass. The volumes are perfectly distinct from each.-01.,nit,
and may be purchased separately to meet the wants of the
lean
who may one half-year be studying Ancient, another hull I
British or Modern History. • 's
