attended Dr. Kennedy's mode of tuition has been producti:/e
of the most beneficial results to the schools, to which pupils
are flocking from all parts of the kingdom in a manner that
promises shortly to restore the foundation to that high state
of numerical effectiveness it enjoyed many years ago, but
from which it declined, owing to numerous causes that, as
Dr. Kennedy's elaborate and convincing exposition to the
Town Council proved, could neither be foreseen nor counter-
acted.—Abridged from the Shrewsbury News, of Saturday.

LEGISLATIVE COURTESIES IN OFIIO.—A. most disgrace-
ful scene occurred in the Ohio Legislature a few days since,
adding another to the list of legislative outrages which fur-
nish food for foreigners in their repasts• upon republican
enormities. One Byington, having been very properly foiled
by the Speaker in his attempts to embarras the House of
Representatives in its action on a particular bill, sent to the
chair a resolution, purporting to be an amendment of the
bill, declaring " that the Speaker of the house had forfeited
all confidence as an impartial presiding officer, either from
stupid ignorance of Parliamentary law, or from a wilful mal-
administration of it." The Speaker, as was proper for him
to do, left the chair, and called a member to it. After some
disgraceful sparring the bill before the house was, by common
consent, laid on the table, and a vote then taken directly on
Byington's blackguard proposition, which wal
body but the brutal mover and somebody na

voting for it. Mr. Gordon then offered a res(
ing Byington for his unprovoked insult to the
the house ; and Byington himself offered a lot
