ron THE SPECTATOR.

FoR THE SPECTATORS
With peculiar pleasure we observed
IN the last Spectator an essay relating to
Sabbath School established in Ed
wardsville. We are happy to state, that
there was one commenced in Alton,
on Sunday the 4th inst. which promises
much usefulness. May we not hope
that people in other places will initiate
the laudable example We wish to
make the appeal, to those who duly APP
preciate religious education, for aid in
the benevolent undertaking. We ask
not particularly for pecuniary aid, but an
effective endeayog to promote the cause
of imbuing the minds of the rising gene
ration with a religious education. 1t
has always appeared to US that every
consideration which urges the teachers
of spiritual truths, the preachers of
the gospel, to perform their duty in re-
commencing religion to their fellow
men, must be equally binding respecting
the duty Of instructing the rising genera
tion--those tender plants OF human kind
which we may emphatically call the
germs of immortal minds. Many chill
dren who would receive instructions in
the Sabbath Schools, in consequence of
their tender age are not capable of re-
ceiving much benefit from the discourses
of the pulpit. Moreover, some of them
at least are allowed TO spend the Sabbath
as an idle hour. 1t has long been our
opinion that those who profess the be-
neyolent principles of the gospel gene
rally, and the ministers thereof in parti-
cular, who are inactive in promoting the
Instruction of children are not sufficient
ly sensible Of the obligations their pro-
fesson lays them under. 0 We professors
Of christian benevolence can that I'm
bounded good will inculcated in the
gospel find a more pleasing exercise
than by info iding the physical, intellec-
tual, and moral faculties of children, and
thereby fitting them for those moment
GUS destinies their Creator has prepared
for them? X.

Letters from Leeds state, that although
all at present was tranquil in that neigh

slant state of alarm, from apprehensons
of terrible explosion.-Several per-
sons concerned in the Huddersford plot
have been committed for high treason.
The Sun states, that the treatment the
English ambassador has received from
the new government of Spain, has been
of such nature, that he should not be
surprised to hear of his sudden return,
even without the. Formally of taking
leave Of the present sovereign of that
country.
Shain.-1t is announced that the Rus
sian Ambassador at Madrid has con-
graduated Ferdinand VII. on his accep-
lance of the Constitution.
The Constitutional spirit has triumph
ed in the Isle of Maiorca and Minorca,
with as much facility and rapidity as in
other parts Of the Spanish Monarchy.
At the former place, the Inquisition has
disappeared, and its victims paraded in
triumph. In both Islands, Constitution
Juntas have superseded the former au-
thorities. The remains of Lacy, who
was shot year ago, are to be conveyed
to Barcelona, where preparations are
making for solcmnizing funeral honors
to his memory.
All the ancient monasteries in Spain
are to be abolished, with the exception of
limited number. The Spanish army

days. The other remained in good
health until about five minutes after the
death of its twin.-It was then taken

minutes. If an attempt had been made
to separate them, instant death must have
been the consequence; as from the juno
