EDUCATION.

The celebrated remark Of Lord Brnusham,
that 1.-The sclioulmasler is Abroad" has
grown INTO proverb. His political ad.
versaries in England, have said that il is
even so, for the schoul-master is not at
"home." We suppose that they meant,
that this important parsonage is on Irav-
sliins tour, with his aristocratic pupils,
when he should be at hume. in Great Brit
ain, training up the children of the poor
er classes. 1t is well known. tha, the ad-
vantages Of education. are confined. al
most exclusively. in England. 10 the chill
dren Of tho aristocracy, and The middle
rank. In the venerable Universities of
Oxford, and Cambridge. the poor canuot
enter. These time -honored institutions are
for the rich alone. The genius of the poor
mans sou may remain undeveloped and
uncultiva,ed forever. for augh, thar the
well-fed professors of those Colleges, care
about the matter. Their Noble pupils
are enough for them.
From statements which we have seen.
il appears that the primary schools of
Great Britain, are in lamentable condi-
ton. In proportion to the population.
there are not many which have much ex.
cellencc. There are few classical insti.
tulions, scattered here and there, like The

GOVERNOR GILMER's MEssAGE.-We
will notice only few of the points touched
in this Message. On The subject Of hank,
and suspensions, the Governor speaks "a,
some length. He thinks lna,,he present sus
pension should not pass unnuIiced by The
Legislature of Georgia. lie recommends
aha, those banks whose reports shcw that
sheir business has been conducted with or
dinary caution, should be permitted TO retain
their charters, with'a condition Imposed. Ia
prevent excessive issues; speculation in COT
ton or other productions, & that they should
be forced To resume specie paylnenls,as soon
as the commercial embarrassment, nf tl,r
countries with which we deal, shall have
passed away. lie says also, that they
should naheluarlerly reports Of their con-
dillon, TO the Governor.
: He recommends TO the Legislature, a.
repeal OF the Free Banking law passed by:
that body, at its last session. He says
that no bank has ye, been established un-
der the act, aud therefore, no rights can be
iufriuged by its repeal. He recommends
a repeal or modification Of the silk bunny
law. If continued, he apprehends, tka:
it will exhaust the Treasury. On the sub
jcct Of the controversy Of Georgia, with The
State of Mainc,HiS Exccllencyis warlik
He speaks IN severe terms of Governors
Dunl"p and Kent, Of Maine, who have re-
fused to deliver up Philbrook and Keller
