The advantages of the above systems, prin-
cipaIly consist in methodically oultivating
the judgment and leading the understanding
(by the attractive influence OF knowledge) to
appreciate those ideas, which, necessarily
insures Improvement, and cnltivates spirit
Of investigation. There is a suficiency Of
mind in all, if properly directed and sus>
tanned, 70 exercise those powers which d
exist, for the acquisition of such positiv
knowledge, as may prepare them for life and
action. But, while great Improvements have
been made, and still are being made, in eve
~ department, the Science Of Instruction
has been all but stationary, and it requires
more moral courage 10 combat against the
popular errors in systems of long standing
than many who see and deplore those errors,
feel they are in possession Of. Every im>
proyement win be theoretically seized upon
10 promote the only object the instructor has
in view, namely to make pleasant and easy
the bill Of knowledge, and TO implant those
principles which, like friendly guide boards
win point and direct them TO the right road
lin after life.

THE MEXICAN WAR.-Notwilhsiandng the war cloud that rolled up from the South few days since.
 there appears 10 be "nohng broke' yet. The bark Eugenia and the Mexican steamers. now lying here are m haste to depart; ihe other hand, the day Of sailing has been postponed from Tuesday. Wheth- the steamer is detained for want of "men, money manners," does not appear. It is pretty evident however, that those who know the Mexicans and their government best take the very philoso- phicaIy, and have very lllle apprehension of any thing serious Jn fact, the thing is so incredible that Mexico. without shadow of reason, should talk of war because the United States have entered into treaty with sovere gn and independent State, that no one, not even those prints among US who have done their best to persuade her that she Is a poor, robbed, abused, insued and oppressed State, and ought to fight, and that in doing so she will find traitors enough among ourselves 10 success, believe that she has been silly enough to regard them. The news boys pass dowa Wall street, that barometer of credit, sensitive augh of evil that funds rise and fall with the smallest variations of the political atmosphere, and shout, "Heres the extra pop gun! got the declaration of war with Mexico!'' No one turns his head or heads the hideous camor for a moment. Brokers make new bids for pur- chases of stock. and the hummer of the auctioneer continues to knock down goods to Texan customers, 10 be sent by water through the gulf 10 Texas under the very nose Of Senior Don Choleric. If any one audes to the subject, it is to ask what can she do The idea of letters of marque was very good in bye- gone ages, but the commerce of the world is now so mixed up that it would be difficult to seize an outward bound American vessel that had not as much French and English property on board as A. merican. Suppose one of our noble packets was seized. London capital would suffer us much as \. merican property, and John Bull would still have reason to growl that there be no war without he "pays the piper. "-IN. Y. News.

A c, respondent of the Boston Advertiser, writing from N a a, under date of Feb. 21. gives ilie par ticuars of the acquisition by the French of the is. land af Bassilau, of the East Indies. IL seems that in the latter part of last year F,enth man of war landed upon ihe island for water, and while pro- curing boat was cut of and several of her crew killed. ..uIr t..t. ...
 The French then proceeded to Samboaugau and acquainted the officers of the Spanish fleet there with the facts, but could obtain no satisfaction. Some two months after. a French steaner with the French ambassador, frigate and two coryettes, sailed from Manila for the straits with the iniention as is SUD- posed, of acquiring possession of Bassiau. A sub- sequent letter states that il had been ceded to the French for one hundred years, by the Raja at Soc. $IOO OOO

EUROPEAN SLAvERY.-A lale number of the Moon, journal published at Agram, in Hungarian Croatia, contains under the date of Bucharest, in Walacha, the following advertisemeni:--'For sale, by the sons and heirs of the late Serdar Nicholas Nika, residing at Bucharest, in the suburb Of St.
 Vanire, two hundred families of Bohemians, of whom the majority oi the male members aborers, lock-
 smiths, goldsmiths, shoemakers and musicians. The proprieors of these Bohemians will not sell less than five families at a lime, but, in return, the price of each individual will be one ducat below the ordinary price, and facilities will be afforded for payment j Tins advertisement is not, as might al first sight be imagined, mere hoax. It is perfectly serious, and what more, is quite iegal for the civil code. granted in 1878 by Prince John Karadechaa to the people of Wniacha and Moldavia, and which is still in force in those countries confirms in expIi- cit and formal ferns the law of slavery. Thus, while the great powers of Christendom annually expend vast sums in maintaining cruisers for putting down the traffic m black slaves, trade in white slaves openly carried under their eyes in two Chrs-
 an countries situate in the centre of Europe itself

 CAPE OF Coop HoPE.-From accounts brought by the last seamer it seems that the affairs of the English Coltny al the Cape of Good Hope are in terrible coalition. In consequence, it is alledg- ed, ol the ndiscreet and ill-advised measures of Lord Stanley, the whole region IS involved in the horrors of WIT. The Liverpool Chronicle gives this | account Of ie transactions m that disrict:---
 The wloleot the northeastern province beyond Coesberg is in arms. The missionary station of Phlpolis hs been abandoned. From the 9th to the 18th of April there was continuous fighting be- tween the Giquas, or bastard natives, and the I'm | migrant Boes. No quarter was gwen either side; prisonrs taken were instantly knocked the head; troop and artillery were hurryng from all quarters to he northeastern frontiers, and ros Cape Town, Sir hregrine Maitland was imsIenng to this | awful scene On the whole, the Grquas appear to have mananed their ground hut the Boers had des- patched messengers 10 Natal for renlorcements, which there was little doubt would be readily fur. nlshed To nem and collision between her Majesty $ forces andher Majestv's subjects ai the latest dates the most probable of impending contingencies. These recmn es had, too, unsettled the Caflres, and
 from the tpntier post on Catlerland (Post Vicoria)
 the military authorities had forwarded despaches to 1 Graham's uwn for assistance.
 | "On MonSiy last" says letter from Coesbnrg, dated the 214 of April, the emigrants (the Boers) made some s'veie attacks on the Griquas, who Ina
 taken up iher position the heights in advance of l Phip0lis, ad succeeded in partially dislodg ing them, but list several of their numbers in do-
 ing. pariyoi seven Griquas were attacked by an oNerwhemingforce, who being iemmed in, fought untll all their immuniton was expanded, and then surrendered, rhen he smgrants ralked quiaiy up 10 them, and sad, deLbaatety bieo Their 6eans out. ' On the Thu,day and Friday following, the Boers attempted tocarry Phillipolis, filled with women and children. bystorm; and though repuised. they rIed of 800 ,ead cattle, and in heir retreat ''de- lhelalely slpt two Bushnea children, who were herding snail flock '' Eleven hundred strong and well-armed 3ners have cut off all communication be- tween the Criquas al Phillipos and he neghbor-
 ing tribes, md are endeavoring 10 plant d strong
 force between Phiilipos and lhe northeastern part of the cooiy, which is in the possession of an under British dominion. Whether the 9lst Regiment sup- ported by te 7th Dragons, will arrive in time to save Philhlolis, remains to be seen. "The whole counny," sys the Grahams Town Journal of the 24lh o Apil, is arms, the farmers declaring they will follow the soldiers the moment they cross the Orange river, and there is the least boubt but 2000 Boer ready to go over" So that the mex arrival wil solve the question, whether Lord Stan ey's policy has not produced general war between l the Boers and Griquas.
