however, OF working on the sunday. it is
much more common to find men If this
class Ut the poor IN bed at noon, and In a
state OF lntoXicahon at night. Numerous as
are still such instances of deprayi,y. mo,e
than fifteen of them out of twenty will be
FOUND to have had no such inst uction in
early lie, as is at present afforded by sui
DAY scho0ls. Persons who have been for
many years Connected with these institu-
tIons, and have anxlousiy traced the desti-
nations of many Of the children that were
formerly under their care, can point out
great numbers, who being grown up into
NE, are now sood members of society but
they have never discovered any instance OF
one becoming a.mendicant. Youthful beg
CARS are found, with few exceptions, una
Die to read. II has occasionally haopened.
that such children huve applied for admis
sion to Sunday school, sent by the kind
interference OF persons who have seen and
piteo them in the streets, but they seldom
remain many weeks either they are disin-
cline'' to submit to the restraint which the
discipline of school imposes. or their
worthless parents require their services on
that dav, as well "a on Others. Well regu-
lated Sunday schools are directly caIcu-
lated to counteract the dispositions and ha-
oats that might lead to mendicity. In the
course even OF few months after the low
est order OF children have been admitted.
ehelr very appearance Is observed Ia under
go decided improvement they are uni
i"rmiy cleaner and more tilily dressed ::
and heir minds are evidently raised a de.
gree further from the meanness and deera.
ddiiOn of mendicants.
But they do not therefore become asspm-
ing and impertlnent F; on the contrary, the
ofuer suoIectIon to which they are trained
ana me instruction they receive in then
moral and religious duties, excite mor
respectful behaviour and more correct feel
ing towards their superiors IN general
The knowledge and moral influence ntI
which the children thus partake, they
communicate, IN a greater or less degree
to all their various families. Mt unfre
quently too, the benefits, which i'm IN,
way extend to the parents, is confirmed by
a word OF council and admonition from |
teacher, who calls perhaps to inquire after
an absent child, o to afford relief in case
OF sickness. Through such means mutt |
tudes oil the poor, who were before notori |
ous'y vicious and proflgate, and were a
mong the most likely to become mend |
cants, are now not less remarkable for the |
virtues by which families and society al |
large are so much benefited. These re |
marks, in great measure, apply to those
day schools in which the children are as,
sembled on the Sunday, for moral and re. |
llgious instruction, ana are slatedly con-
Quoted to public worship. If required. |
proof could be afforded of every part of the |
statement.

SeD-9cting Pttmps.-Among fine many
nautical improvements which have been
presented to the public, none appears TO be
more worthy of notice than the lately in
vented Storm Pumps, so called from their
being rendered capable ofpumping leaky
ship in heavy gale, without manuel la
bour. Thisis certainly an invaluable pro-
perry in ships pumps, and is hoped that
tbs most useful machine will soon be uni
versally adopted, as from the principles OIL
which it acts, it is calculated to perform its
work best when the sea is most tempestu-
Gus, and when from extreme fatigue and o.
Their causes, men are unable to work the
pumps In the usual mode. Will it not ike
wise be a great advantage to have those
men employed in other parts of the ship's
doty, who would otherwise have to labour
at lie pumps ; 1t may be furt er observed.
by this machine, which we understand ia
very simple in its construction, two men
will by hand deliver more water. and with
greater case, than eight in the usual wav,
as stated in letter fom Captain James
Stowell. of The brig Liberty, of New-Or-
leans, to w. & t. Rigby, in Liverpool
who are the manufacturers. We under
stand this Improvement is adopted in the
Cambridge, East Indiaman, and applied
pumps of I2-inch bore.
