have probably been as much so. he was friend
to education without any shackles upon consci-
ence. He was aware ofthe unfair and unfounded
attacks OF MIR. Lancasters enemies in England ;
but shame and confusion awaited them, for their
foundation was deceit and their superstructure
confusion and dsmay they could not stand be-
fore innocency and her open face. He had been
|surprlzed by the unexpected mention of his
name in the manner he had heard it. He was
happy to find his conduct approved by the true
and tried friends of Lancaster and education
He thanked the company for the marked respect
shewn him, which he rose to acknowledge, bu,
to which his powers and his strength were une.
qualled, more than to say, that though unprepar.
ed to thsnk the present assembly for their urban.

his friend Lancaster in promoting the education
ofthe poor of all Ireland.
We need hardly say, he concluded amidst un-
bounded applause

Lancaster has certified to be an unequalled mo-
del of his system, and consequently an unrivalled
seminary for teachers to be trained for ALL IRE.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
From tate EngSish and Irish papers.

Sir Humphrey Davy has transmitted from Italy
to the royal society, n paper on the composition
Of the prints used by the Greeks. Sir III. in the
introduction, takes review of the progress of
painting among the Greeks, people who had an
innate taste for the beautiful and magnificent !;
he next traces Rome and lastly, proceeds to an
analysis of the coloring matter OF the remains OF
the Greek painting found on the walls of Hercu-
laneum and Pompeii. The principal color in
these paintings, it appears, consisted Of carbo-
mates of copper, prepared and blended in differ
ent proportions.
The power Of conducting heat, possessed by
different bodies, is extremely curious, and not
less important. 1t was proposed Us prize ques
ton some time ago, by the society OF sciences, at
Rotterdam. The prize was awarded to adisser-
tation, composed by Mr.. G.. G.. BocEmann. Mr..
b. included in his experiments eighteen metals,
or metallic compositions among which bismuth
parts with its heat with the greatest rapidity,
and iron retains it the longest. The author also
examined forty kinds of stone, earth, glass, &c.
sixty two pieces ofwood, coal, barks, &c; 20
different bodies, as phosphorus, wax, SC. five
kinds Of wool, hair, cotton, &c. /; and is differ
ent fluids.
1t appears, by an official return, That 129, 500
London papers were sent, in 1914, to the colo
MES, and 215,762 to the continent of Europe
And that 62, 300 French papers were received in
England, 43e8 Dutch, S744 German, and 1894
ofother nations. Ofthe Monthly Magazine, a.
bout 5000 copies per annun are sent abroad, and
ofthe various English periodicals, collectively,
about the same number. Tire peace with Anne
RIGA will doubtless add greatly to the export OF
newspapers and monthly journals, particularly of
those which exhibit becoming respect for the
principles of truth and liberty.

MY LoRD-The short time allowed me for re-
porting to your lordship the operations of this
day, prevented me from detailing to Your lordship
at large the movements of the different divisions
OF the corps OF his royal highness the prince roy
| al or WerteInbufg. If had then been Informed
OF the movements of the left division of this
corps, under general WSlmoden should have
stated to your lordship that he moved Yesterday
morning from Lauterburg, on the road 20 fort
Louis, TO turn the forest of Hagenau, where it
was evident the enemy would endeavour to ar
rest our progress as lorg as he possibly could
on the arrival OF gen. Warnoden at Seltz, he
Possessed himself Of that village after a triang
sklrmisb, but had hardly secured himself in 1t,
When the enemy made vigorous attack upon his
position, and endeayored to retake IL; he. howe
yer maintained himself against great superiori-
~ OF force but not without suffering cons dera
e ey' having Haa about $40 men killed and wound
The enemy retired from before the position of
gen: Waimoden during the night, and he is,
doubtless, this evening at Dunzenheim, and his
advanced posts probably at Gambshem, which
would place them on 4 line with ours at Bru-
maid.
His royal highrass's corps is now SO concen.
uated, and the enemy appear to be so appalled,
by the gallant and well directed affair of cavalry
this day, that 1 should imagine they will not
think OF opposing us in our endeavors TO mask
Strasburg tomorrow and it is worthy of re-
mark, that his royal highness will then have ac-
ccmplished that important object, two days ear
lier than was expected.
Never did see corps animated with better
spirit or more ably directed than this, and should
any important occasion arisefor greater exert,ons,
we very justly entertain the most sanguine ex.
pecta,'ons of their overcoming whatever may be
opposed to them.

Secy ofthe Navy dated
NewOrleans, 18th Dec. 1914.
SIR.
i have the honor to inform you, that
since the date of my last letter, DR. Marshall
has arrived at this place, and made to me
the within statement relative to the acti,.1
between our gun vessels and the barges of
the enemy, and their subsequent movements
since when no further intelligence has been
received. BY this statement it appears the
enemy's force was infinitely superior to that
reported by MIR. Johnson. The vessels sta
ted by DR.. Marshall to be within the shoals
of Passes Christian and Mary Ann, must
have beeu built expressly for our shoal wa
tiers, and their having brought them within
those shoals, indicates, think, an intention
to rely upon them andnumereus fiat barges,
20 attempt this city b. forcing their way up
the Bayou St. John. To gnard against their
so doing on the evening Of the 18th l com
menced erecting OH the banks Of the Bayou,
two batteries Co mount each 2 long ~ poun-
ders, one of which, IN despite Of rain and o.
thcr difficulties, is now, through the active
cyertions of my few remaining officers, ready
for action-Ihe other will bs COMPLETED By
Tomorrow night, when hope the enemy may
attempt us by that route. These tive bate
ries arc independent of the Fort St. John, at
the mouth OF the Bayou. Every exertion is
also making to have fre-vessels ready for
them in the event Of an attack by why Of the
river. Their attack will, no doubt, be made
