I[4IVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION
HIGH AND LOWER SCHOOLS.
Referring to his appointment by the Board of Directors to
the charge of the Hioss and LOWER SCHOOLS, as Principal.
Mr. MAC I LVEICI begs to assure the Patrons and Supporters of
the Mechanics' Institution that it will be his earnest and con-
stant endeavour to secure for the Pupils in both of these
im-
portant Schools such an Education as may be of real practical
value in after life, and in every way suitable to the various
positions they are destined to occupy in Society.
Mr. MACILYEEN having been engaged for the last Meets
years in the management of one of the largest Schools its
Liverpool, feels it to be quite unnecessary to enter into any,
minute statement of his views on the subject of Education.
He desires to state generally, however, that he has always
acted upon the belief that a schoolboy's days to be profitable
must be rendered agreeable to him; that therefore his labour-
must on the whole be made interesting and exhilarating ; and
further, that no system of instruction should be regarded as.
satisfactory which does not include among its leading ob-
jects the culture of refined manners and becoming personal.
deportment as well as the accumulation of the requisite stores
of knowledge and the development of the intellectual and
moral powers.
The High School provides a superior Commercial, Scientific,.
and Classical Education, calculated to fit young men either
for Business or for entering the Universities.
The Lower School affords a superior English and Scientific
Education, peculiarly calculated for young men devoted to
commerce or the practical arts.
A prospectus, containing full details as to terms, &c., may
be had on application.
Mr. M acl lv een receives into his house a limited number of
Boarders, and Pupils attending the Schools may also be re-
ceived as Daily Boarders.—For terms apply at 9, Sandon-
terrace.

GREAT FIRE
"Messrs. MUSGRAVE, BRCrTHERS.—GENTLEMEN,—At your request, I beg to state, for the information of the public,
that 'he only property saved from the late fire, in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co., was that contained in one of
Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the
Ilames, I was fully convinced of the destruction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in test
ally
ify-
ing to this extraore" nary instance of their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, without
protection, where it remained till the floor was burnt around it, when it fell to the room beneath, the floor of which was like-
wise destroyed by the fire.—Yours truly, " JAMES S. HUNTER,
"Executor of the late Thomas S. Major, of the Firm of Thomas S. Major and Co.

Notwithstanding the favourable accounts
zraphic despatches, the state of affairs in Spain seems
eery precarious. The Messager de Bayonne and
private letters from Madrid give a direct contradiction to
the telegraph. They say that the Queen's troops, com-
manded by the Minister of War, so far from being victo-
rious, were driven back precipitately into the city of
Madrid, after having lost their artillery and fifty men.
Half the garrison of Madrid is said to have joined the
movement. Great anxiety is felt as to the part to be taken
by General Narvaes and General Serano.
The insurgents have issued a manifesto, calling on the
citizens to arm for the purpose of overthrowing the cor-
rupt ministry. They profess personal loyalty to the Queen.
The latest accounts from Madrid are comprised in a
despatch of the 6th. It must be remembered Host these
telegraphic statements are issued under the control of the
government, and that the fact of an insurgent force having
been able to hold a position within musket-shot of the
royal palace has not been controverted. According to the
despatch we have mentioned, the capital and the provinces
are tranquil. The insurgents are pursued by the troops
faithful to the government, and have arrived at Ciudad
Real, on their way to Estremadura, to gain the Portuguese

The St. Petersburg Journal, of the 30th June, con-
tains the following notice of the chief of police, published
by she Emperor's orders, with a view to calm the minds
of the people :—" The enemy's fleet, amounting to 30 sail,
appeared on the 23rd June, about 20 miles from Cronstadt.
On the 27th several steam vessels of war approached the
lighthouse of Cronstadt; but, up to the present time, the
enemy has shown no disposition to attack Cronstadt,
where every measure has been taken to receive them."

It is staled on the authority of some late English resi-
dents in St. Petersburgh, that the Emperor has in the last
five months grown older than in the preceeding ten years,
and wears an expression of haggard care both in his coun-
tenance and bearing. The heir to the throne, Alexander,
is in a rapid decline, and is at night afflicted with such
heavy sweatings that his bedlinen has frequently to be
changed twice the same night. As he is known to be
averse to the present war, even to such an extent as to
have prayed his father on his knees to desist, plenty of
Russians are found who hint darkly at the singularity of
his being attacked with symptoms dissimilar from any
that his family have ever suffered from just at the very
time when his known sentiments are at variance with
those of his family and the people. Delicate allusions to
some antecedents in Russian history suffice to make the
hint intelligible even " to the meanest capacity."

Sydney papers inform us that there is still a demand for
labour of every description in New South Wales, and that
it does not appear likely that any diminution will take
place as long as the gold fields offer sufficient remuneration.
There has been a large class of persons created in Aus-
tralia, to whom freedom from any restraint is a compensa-
tion for the extreme hardships they have undergone in the
pursuit of wealth, and severe pressure alone will induce
these again to encounter the drudgery of an office
life, or to succumb to the conventionalities of an urban
existence:—" Female servants are still in demand, for which
this community seems to have an insatiable appetite, ship-
load after shipload being swallowed up immediately on
their arrival. A great proportion of these marry well to
settlers in the interior, and those that are left demand
and obtain wages that would be deemed preposterous at
home. There is a great demand in the printing trade for
compositors ; and, at the present prices, this class may
earn on an average £6 per week. Other manual occupa-
tions are paid at an equally high rate, and the cost of living
does not bear a proportion which would render the wages
in England anything like equivalent. A new company
has been established for developing the fisheries which are
known to exist upon our coast, and English fishermen
would find immediate employment, at wages averaging £6
per week. If they come, they should bring out the neces-
plements of their craft."
