Assemblies and bells have bees the order of the, day
for the haat three weeks. The season woe opens.} by
Madame la Condemn Maeda''', so well known belt by
her liberality, and the elegance of her societies. 'the
I)nke was, of course, of the party, and followed the es-
ample, thus set. by a brilliant fete at the Palazsa, This
was succeeded by an entertainment given to bite et dm
Stanza, the hotel were the Nobles meet.
The severe weather we have had here seems to have
extended even to the !mat southern point of Italy. The
roads are all impassable to the southward, and although
I cannot but feel for the poor individuals who have been
tarried on to Rome and Naples from real necessity, in
search of a milder climate, still it is a sort of cousela-
tien to me, that there is no other spot en the Condemn
where we could have done hotter. Serious a?prebini-
sions are entertained for the olive-trees, and-numbers of
the finny-trees have certainly been killed t and is my
ride yesterday, I observed that the early a- rope of Owe,
which looked se beautifully previous to the cold, and
were in some places half a foot high, are Noisily cd't eff;
nor is there. I should presume, any chance of their re-
covering. The wheat is Improved. It was getting too
forward and rank, and this timely check has done it the
greateAt good; a large and fine crop is consequently
• expected.
By this time you must be fatigued with the rice of the
country, but you know from the manner in which my
time is occupied, that it is the easiest subject for me to
write about. I fear my information is not sufficiently
accumulated to say any thiog satisfactory on Institu-
tions, or I would begin by giving you some ideas of those
for primary instruction, commencing with those first esta-
blished. Ifni in order to do that, either to my own or ye.' r
satisfaction, I ought to have been free from anxiety, and
master of my own dine since my arrival at this place.
Despairing, therefore, of giving you any regular detail,
I will just put down such facts as I have been able to
collect. There is a school established hero so the sys-
tem of Bell and Lancaster. It was the first vet ois feet
in all Tuscany, and you will marvel at its *nth/sky. It
was set on foot in Match last, from funds benevolently
snbscribed bi two or three English, who casually hap-
pened then to reside at Irma, and its sole support con-
sists in the remains of this original fund, having never
received the aid of a quetrine (a farthing) from a na-
tive •, and it now only continues from the seal and merit
of the individual who is the Director and Master.
Forty poor children are educated here, but there might
be two hundred, provided there were funds and
encouragement. The next school is for paupers, at the
expense of the community, and as it has boas establish-
ed for a.,nte years, and meets with support, having the
protection of the Archbishop of Pisa, it is probably the
reason that the improved system is not encouraged.
There are above one hundred children educated here,
and at an expense which wonlil insure an education to
more than five times that number, upon the former plan.
There is also another Free School, which was established
}}bout thirty-six years ago by the Grand Duke Peter
H. This gas the title of Aesdesris Reetisiessiks.
Us comber of hops on dr entabliebeeeot, 4sesds:.
don, is limited; but parents of respeetabilitrean fret
their children admitted by obtaining pernaldeer of the
Archbishop.

GENEROSITY OP A FRENCH PEASANT.

The following fact connected with the defence of lien.
Oilly deserves to he recorded in the history of the unfor-
tunate events of 1/115 :—tieneral ()illy was born In the
department of Gard. He was brought up in the Catholic
faith ; but the humanity of the Protestants wits so well
known to him, that during the troubles of that year, he
did nut hesitate to esk an asylum from one of them. He
was received in the humble cottage of a peasant; at
Tobesargue, in the canton of Andase. The name of the
peasant was Perrier ; and it deserves to be hustled
down to posterity. 'I he General was received into his
family, and no qnestion WAS asked respecting his name.
lie was disguised, and passed for the cousin of Perrier.
The General continued for several months in this retire-
meat, not, however, without feeling greet alarm on ac-
count of the armed patrules which were continually
traversing the country, and whose domiciliary visits, par-
ticularly among Protestants, were made with the strictest
severity. Often iii the middle of the night he was obliged
to get out of bed in a hurry, and seek for shelterin the
fields, where, half-clod, he concealed himself amidst
the corn, or in the bashes. This continual state of al-
Knish caused him frequently to bewail his hard fate. One
day Perrier, after returning from the little town of n-
tlase,undertook to console his guest, and inspire him nith
courage.—" Yon grieve.- said he," bit you are hap;;
comparison with those unfortunate persons un whose
heads I have heard, this morning, that a price h,s beets
set. For M. Briere, for instance, one of our Ministers,
the sum of 2,400 francs has been offered ; 2,400 for M.
Ilresse, the former Mayor ; and 10,000 foi Ilene'. 11
The emotion of the tietteral on Varing this
may be easily conceived ;he tried to coot-P/1 it; and in
order to impose upon the poor peasant Whose fidelity
he had the injustice to suspect, he said to hive—'l I 'sob
tired of the life I lead ; l wish to put an end to it. ion
are poor, and must want money. f know General
Billy ; I know where he is cuocee)ell. I mean to
demand my liberty as a reward, and you shall have
the ten thimisond francs." At these words, Perrier re-
mained unable to utter a word, as if deprived of life.
But his eldest son, a youth about twenticseven years of
age, who hail served in the 4;th regitateut of the line,
and who all ill:. time had beets listening in silence by
the fire-side to the conversation, rose up with preci-
pitation, and wish a menacing tone, add' essed the
tieneml in the (Whining energetic words:--" Sir,
hitherto we looked mitts' you as an honest man ; but
since you are one of those despicable denunciator,.
who wish for the death of a fellow.creature, there is the
door, depart instantly. or I will throw you out of the
window. lieneral refused to go, and seen e I
