The plan Of instruction, which was followed
in our public schools, from the year 1909, ill
the year 1912, at which time we left them.
was The most judicious Of any we have ever
Witnessed, and we venture to say, it was pro-
duciive Of the best results. But because it
was simple, natural, and MOI. impregnatcd NTH
pedanfry and nonsense, IL was abandoned to
give place to tho more refined systems OF
quacks and pedants. Since its abandonment
for the follies of conceited pcdagogues and
coxcombs, the schools have not improved,
though they are now conducted with great
discretion, by gentleman Of learning and gen
ius. This essay is written, without intending
to make any improper illusions to any one;
and has beon suggested to our mind, by a 'ri-
fling occurrence, which it is not necessary to
repeat.

The remarks below, are fiom lie pen of .

mend them to the especial attention Of our
readers, and particularly to those Of our enter
prising merchants, who have daily commune

London Of Anne ica."
NEW YORK. For q number of years past.
the principal part Of what is called in New
York, tho WESTERN BUSINESS, has been
transacted at, and around Coenties slip, or tho
East River. The Erie Canal has so much in
creased that branch of interior trade, that ON
plants are frequently uttered OIL account of
the confined space and consequent confusion,
along the wharfs and slips in that neighbour
hood, and a desire has been strongly expressed
by dealers generally, that another and more
extensive market for the sale of bread stufrs
could be fixed upon. This, together with the
knowledge that much time and some risuue, in
the passage road 20 the Battery, would be
spared. has induced a number Of gentlemen,
TO erect colinod Gus warehouses on the North
River side, embracing all the ground be, ween
CORTLAND and Dey streets, and between Wash
ing'on and West streets, giving to the Albany
Steam Tow Boats, and to a number Of first
ra'e sloops, Tue wNolo range OF the Warelous-
ea, from the Ferry House TO Dey street. 1t is
estimated, that in the approaching season. from
two thousand, TO three thousand tons of Wes-
tern produce, will be disemburked each week,
at the above position, and such is the high
opinion entertained Of us Importance, that sew
ernl Commercial Houses, of the first resrccta-
bi'ity, propose to establish themselves there in
the spring, and thereby transfer q very large
portion OF the coarse grain and -four trade, 10
Courtlant street,
The subject, is one Of no small interest to
those Of our merchants, Who are engaged in
the grain trade. and we respectfully invite them
to peruse an advertisement come c,od with il.
which will be found in another column.

Of that body, seem to have made an effort 10

Mr.. General Alexander Smyth, was then
called to order, by another member, for hav-

In all the relations Of life, he ~sustains the
character of dignifed man, and a good citi-

of the administration, and this is his offence

PoLITIcAL.-Thc dispatches last received
from our Ambassador at Constantinople, which
come down to the 29ih ult. inclusive, arc said
to be of great Importance So much Of their
contents as has been rumored among the friends
o! Minister'S, goes TO exhibit the conduct of tho
Turk in colors of the most unchapging and IN
exorable obduracy. No one point, it is be-
lieved has yet been conceded TO the demands
Of the allied nego'iators, nor have their repre-
scntations been received in any better spirit
than that of indifference, IL not Of scorn. Un-
der these circumstances, aud with such pres
poets, the Ambassadors. on tho 2Sth ult. re-
CURED their passports from the REFS EFFENpI,
and made every preparation for a speedy de-
parture from the Turkish Capital In tho
mean time, The RErs E%FFENpI is reported TO
have sent, on the 29ib, a proposition Of a tri-
fling and useless nature, TO the Allies, which
was construed no otherwise than as a proof
that there existed some wish 10 procrastinate
on the part Of Turkey. A Divan was 10 sit the
same evening, and on lis resolves tho Ambas-
sailors supposed that the question Of peace or
war was IN all likelihood 10 turn. While this
appears to have been The impression upon the
minds of our countrymcn at Cons,a ntinople, az

We ought not 10 lose sight Of the fact ai,esied
by all experience, Of the chara cter and policy
Of these iniidels viz. that there is positively no
assurance one hour, Of what they will do tho
next. Hthey see that the cordially Of the
Allied Governments still continues, and that
the insinuations and sssuran'e s Of a certain
Court are not in a train TO BIO realized, there
still remains a hope that, at the las, hour. tho
Porte may recover IFS scattered senses, and SEQ
what all Europe has long been convinced Of,
namely that the sole chance Of escape from
dismcmbermcn is in immediate submission
To the last, we shall not absolutely despair Of
peace, confessing all the while that every in-
dieation is at present warlike.
