COMMON SCHOOLS.

Our previous remarks upon this subjective arc aware, were rather dsjointed, as will al so be those we may hereafter present to oul readers ;--written as they are at different times. and published as soon as written, it i- impossible that they should partake of the character'Ofa well written essay, where cor, rcctions and alterations may be made to suit the pleasure of the writer. If, however, any of our ideas are good, and should become the means of exciting attention to the importance of improving common schools. we shall be gratiied with knowing that we have not la- bored in vain.
 We believe there is very material error in the minds of many persons, and indeed an error so common, that in great measure it controls all the proceedings of many school districts, if not whole towns. This error is founded upon that provision of the law reIa- tive to common schools, which restricts chil- dren and youth under four and over sixteen years of age, from drawing any part of the public money. This is unquestionabIy good feature in the law, but it could not certainly have been the intention of the framers of this law, that our schools should be exclusively composed of children of an age between these two extremes. Districts may draw their proportion of money for the children between four and six years of age, as well by sending 1 them to a female, as to a mans school, in the winter :-and if competent instructors are em- ployed, our young people of sixteen and eighteen may proftabIy attend winter school. even if they do not come within the provisions of the statute.
 There is another error which takes strong hold of many people upon this subject. which is, that the expense of common schools is purely public concern, and they will not therefore suffer themselves to be taxed di- rectly for their support in the smallest a. mount. Our School Fund is an honor to the wisdom and foresight of our fathers,-but if it be not sufficiently large to cover all the ex- penses of our common schools, it surely does not savor much of wisdom to so far neglect these schools as almost entirely to destroy the good it might do, and thus render it curse, instead of blessing. The fund. we believe, now divides about $7O, 900 annually ia large

orally spoken OTas having been tAe rOsal, of

eTAily spoken OFa having been lAe result Of tt.
 It Is affirmed that all the treaties with the three powers, France, England and Russia, and especially the convention of Alderman, were declared null and void 1; that the Porte breaks oG all negotiations with the Ambassadors of the three powers that tt however considers them as under the protection of the law of nations, and that it intends to provide for their person. al safety so long as they remain on the Turkish territory. This declaration has been lately communicated to NJ. De Ot- tenfclS.
 It is now expected that a hatti-scheriff of the Sultan will be published ordering all Mussuimans to take arms, and the stand ard of the Prophet to be displayed on the walls of St. Sophia to rally the faithful. IL is recollected what this palladium ef1ecyed Is months ago, at the destruction of Jan issaries, when it served to keep in check the enemies of the Sultan. At the moment the Porte made this declaration all magin- able precautions were taken for the safety of the Franks and the guards were doubled at the gates of the Ambassadors. Hither- to every thing has been tranquil. But the Franks who have since by their business gone into the streets of the capital, say that its appearance is so changed that it is hardly to be known. The Turks are transported with joy at the resolution ot the Sultan, and the approaching union of all Mussulmans.
 Itis natural that great apprensions should be entertained, notwithstanding all the precautions that have been taken. Peo- pie are anxious to see what will be done by the Ministers of the three Courts, who have continual conferences with M. d'Ot- tentels, who is at present the protector oi the Franks. It is said that M. d'Ribeau- pierre, has resolved to depart artimmediately. The haiti scherf, announcing the resolu- tions taken in the last Divan, is expected to appear tomorrow. These resolutions appear even to the Franks themselves the only means of saving the Ottoman empire, provided the Sultan is able again to rally the Mussulmans. After the convention oi the 9th July, the empire had hardly any alternative but the choice of fall more or less remote.
