been favoured at a late hour yesterday evening with the new york even ing post of the 29th instant which contains the news brought by the napoleon captain smith giving liverpool dates to the 25ib and london to the 24th august and there by anticipating the intelligence by mail a- bout 60 hours a london paper contains the bulletin of the russian army dated aidos july 26 tak ing up the progress of

been taken one of the passengers of the robert edwards saw in the read ing room a bulletin issued from the loudon royal exchange announcing this event and it was generally believ ed at plymouth a london papei of the evening of the 25th states that a telegraphic despatch to that effect had been received at paris no mail from that city had been received on that day inconsequence of the inclemency of the weather three ships of the line at porstmouth had been ordered to sea but their des tination was not known the london papers state that orders have been given to the captains of pack ets between falmouth and lisbon to permit the search of their vessels by the portuguese authorities by this permission the portuguese may take from british vessels any portuguese subject charged with offences against the state a new consul had been appointed for lisbon the london traveller of 25th au gust has the following lemarks it is more than probable thai the fate of constantinople is by this time determined and notwithstanding all that we have heard from time to time about the enormous power of russia and the danger of disturbing the equili brium of europe it is quite evident from the comparative indifference with which the population of this country await the event that they feel no dis position to panic after all the predicti ons just so we thought it would be butj ein any thing prove more decisively the confidence which is felt in the present administration if they had been weak or wavering if there was any reason to suspect them of want of prudence of foresight what outcrys should we now hear amongst the discontented on the approach of the russian army to the gites of constantinople but if the people have confidence in te m nisters so have the ministeis sftown a confidence in the resources of tie country which can at any lime call upon russia to fulfil her engagements m an attitude not only of persuasion but command that russia will fulfil her promises is probable if for no other rea son than this that it is her interest to fulfil there she knows with what jea lousy the cabinets not of england and of france alone but of almost every continental power must regard her pro gress at the present moment it is by good faith alone that she can maintain herself against such a coalition as could soon be formed against her great praise is therefore due to the steadiness of the men who suspected of being too favourable to military ad ventures withstood every temptation to war and kept their country aloof from the struggle and in a condition to look to its termination without the fever of partisans we look forward with curio sity to the next accounts from the east but we have every guarantee in the vi olence and energy of our ministers combined with the strength of our re sources that however the war may ter- mm for twitey eagkd and eu rope have nothing to fear london aug 25 one oclock consols opened this morning at the price at which they left

upon ihe advantages of education or up on the necessity of some public provision for rendering those advantages generally accessible hecause from the one there is no dissentient voice and the other seems to be sufficiently rocoguized in the present direction of the public anxiety to the sub ject in addition to the resources we have for some time had in the district and com mon schools we havo every prospect of the speedy establishment of an university a3wellasofa preparatory seminary for the latter on a scale more extensive than is afforded by any of the present establish ments for education in the province in short public men seem more alive than formerly to this essential consideration and our lieutenant governor manifests an interest in the suhject which we trust will be attended with important results it on ly remains that these efforts be directed with judgment and care and that the plans for tbe improvement of education now contemplated or in progress keep steadily in view the benefit of all classes of the com munity the favored few who have roached the summit of the hill of science roubt not forget the intermediate obstacles and diffi culties which they had to encounter iror ought we in contemplating the splendid results of education to overlook the slow and painful process by which they have been acquired along gradation of ele mentary studies must precede for instance the investigation of newtons priocipra and the candidate for collegiate honors must remember bis obligations to lillys grammar and euclids elements so that in establishing a university where the highest distinctions of science are held out to aspiring talcot we must first prepare the way to tbis elevation by the constitu tion and maintenance of humbler semina ries of learning nothing in short can be more obvious than that prior to the establishment of an turn bbpsi its contingent and extrinsical circumstances 5 and not to an error in the principle upon which they were

which they were originally established the encouragement we con tend is not yet sufficiently great to attract men of eminence from the distinguished seminaries of the parent country fuv al though the government allowance cir cumstances considered is liberal it til some instances receives so little augmenta tion from the fees paid by the scholars mat it constitutes nearly the whole stipend of the master while this circumstance is readily accounted for by tbe inability oc the inhabitants in countryplaces espaci illy to meet this demand it as readirf accounts for tbe comparatively low com lion
