NEW SYSTEM OF GRAMMAR.
1Lnruo est reriiQS Ell DrTrqlJf.

We have attended the course OF lectures
delivered in this place, by Mr.. Caraell upon
English Grammar, or the structure OF
sneech. and can, with many others, most
,heerfnllv acknowledge our decided conyic-
,ion Of the superior excellence OF his system,
which, while it exposes in tie clearest light
the multiplied absurdities and contradictions
of the old systems, exhibits tine strongest ev-
;dencc Of the truth of the new; and renders
4 study hitherto perpleXing and inefficient,
delightful and effective. He has. by deep
research and laborious investigation, discov-
cred clue. to the proper understanding Of
,he subject. that seems to have escaped the
notice fall those who have heretofore writ
en- upon it. 1t must certainly be acknowl-
edged a great improvement in literature aud
Instruction We feel grati!icd therefore, to
ind, that it has met with the cordial appro-
bation Of so many of the teachers and litera-
~ gentlemen of this Borough In recon-
mendation voluntarily presented by them to
Mr.. c., and which we have just had the
pleasure of perusing after noting several
important points of difference in his system
from the received "doctrinesof the Schools, .
viz. "That all verbs are active and transi-
tve-that there arc but three moods and
three tenses--that the words called auXilia-
res, are the most important verbs in the Ian
guase, &C." they observe: "The principles
laid down by this author, though strikinsly
different from the doctrines of the Schools,
appear to be founded on a very enlightened
philosophy of the subject, and to give the
rue exhlanation of language.
$50 far as we are capable of Judging, the
adoption of this system and consequent re-
jeotien of numerous useless distinctions, viii
greatly facilitate the business of grammati-
cal instruction; and by leading the student
oflanguagc to rely more upon self-evident
principles, and less upon arbitrary and du-
bious authorities, render the study more in
teresting and more highly conducive to the
Improvement Of the rational powers" This
Recommendation is supported by the names
Of Eli Hlles, John Bullock, Enoch Lewis
Bishop Davenport, Simon Barstow, Isaac
Perce, and number Of others.
Those gentlemen have done themselves
credit by their candour and promptitude, in
ayalllng themselves Of such an essential I'M
provement, and we trust will Immediately
introduce, tif they have not already intro
dueed) the practical application of the prin-
c'ples into their respective seminaries.

7yc UrQther. The Winter, until within
;. sew days. has been remarkably open and
,,,sosapt. With the exception ot two or
,hree DAYS IN the early part Of this month,
.,ore has been little or no cold weather.
The middle Of December was as pleasant
,s any weather in the latterpart OF October;
me cattle were then grazing upon the
Colds: and until Christmas day, cloak was
hardly necessary to preserve comfortable
warmth to the body. On Tuesday morning,
however, we had light fall of snow, and in
,he afternoon some rain--the weather, mod
crate. Yesterday morning the mercury
ranged at so; at noon %; at evening IA, and
mis- morning at 5 o'clock, at 5 above 0. We
do not recollect any day last winter on
which the mercury stood lower than Z. The
navigation atthis place is completely stop
ned. the Christiana is frozen over, and we
believe would bear person with safety
