the who! cf others, were evjially injured by this intrusion and use of books formed upon fc'.ioxo principles, or badly constructed, when considered as a means of grounding youth in the subjects which they pretend to illustrate. But we are happy to say, that the subject of elementary school books, has, of late years, occupied the attention cf some of our most talented and experienced men, ua the profession of instruction. We are g;ad to have it in our power to lay before our readers, a letter from one of the most learned men in our country upon the 6chon! bocki compiled by Messrs . Picket's, now residing" in Cincinnati, and which work, we understand, can be purchased in that place at a lower rate than they can be obtained in the eastern cities, where they are usei in schools and academies in preference' to anyother series. From Felix Pascal, M- D. Associate of Hie faculty of medicine of Paris, and of that of New-York, Philadelphia, Connecticut, South Crtrolina, New Orleans, Bordeaux, ccc. Memberofthe Literary and Philosophical society of New York, &c. Great praise is due to those, who, the first, have contributed to the cultivation and instruction of voting minds,

by their analytic method or pystem of teaching the necessary branches of literary and moral education. And let it not be supposed that it is an easv task to arrange juvenile elementary books on grammar or the other branches of knowledge, which are intended for exercising the perceptions of the young. No: this practical undertaking requires for its foundation, a perfect knowledge of the human understanding; a science, upon which a few men only, such as Locke Mallebranch, Condillac, and Stewart have fully discoursed. Its application to systems of instruction for children, has been so seldom attained, that, when one or a few men have accomplished it, in one nation, their systems have been imrnediately admired and adopted by others. It was by these more perfect systems of instruction and education, that the Jesuists obtained that universal and dangerous ascendency over all catholic nations, which nothing afterwards could subvert, or overthrow, but the united powers of all monarchs and the Pope. Their elementary books, for juvenile instruction, were, however, retained by their successors in colleges, and seminaries, and even by their most implacable enemies, those of Port Royal of Paris, Arnauld and Blaise Pascal. From these sources, all nations yet retain the classical and critical editions of the Latin and Greek classic authors, called the Variorum or Delphini. In modern times, the importance of juvenile instruction has been more particularly felt; and, it has been Hdmirably improved by philanthropic writers, with the different views of eliciting reason, or forming the judgment, or bringing into action these seeds of virtue and morality, which are planted in young bosoms: with a view, also, of nllaying the labor of tuition, of instructing multitudes at once, and in fine, of educating the poor universally and gratuitously. These improvements have been extended to all parts of the civilized world. But the United States, that have but a half century of existence, though the last, are not the least, in improving the education of their youth, which has already been established on various systems by her talented teachers and philosophers. From among their several labours, the set of ''American school class books," for the education of youth, by Messrs. Albert and his son, Johx W. Picket, Ehould be selected as a nation.il treasure for the present, as well as future generations. This set is composed of the Juvenile Primer, Child's Definition Book, Juvenile Spelling Book, Juvenile Instructed Juvenile Mentor, Juvenile Expositor, a system of English Grammar, &c. All are progressively adapted, not only to various ages of children, and to their acquired knowledge, but they are also extended in their respective order, to many more complicated branches of instruction. On one of the first and one of the last, 1 beg leave to offer a few remark?. The Juvenile Spelling Boo::, cia?sed No. 1, but the third in tho set of Jle?srs. Pickets, is principally intended to teach reading from the simple knowledge of letters, sounds, syllables, and words, from the shortest to the longest, together with the essential prosody, or at least, with the essential stress belonging to each. The child is thence led to reading, either in prose or poetry, a variety of instructing, amusing, and e isy lessons, until he is shown how to decompose words, to learn their proper signification and derivations, and to acc ustom his mind to the very technical language cf Grammar. It is nlro to be remarked, thnt the authors are never unmindful of any exception in spelling or pronunciation which'm.iv constitute a greater purity of language: but that they interposed all such, throughout the advancing steps of the pupil, whenever they offer themselves, without confusing the symmetry of the spelling columns, the large and regular type of which Gxez the learner's attention,

The Jcy!cilk Expcsitor h al?o n master piece of composition in its laborious structure, and its huge collec tion of select reading lessons, with which it is so much the province ol instructers to cultivate the mind of their pupils. In this book, prepared for a class, advanced in education, the authors are guided by a great principle in tuition, which is, the rules of Gram mar and Syntax, are not the first thing, but the last to be taught to learners; and till they have been sufficiently exercised in Philology, or in the nature, composition and signification of words. Tierce, the pupil taught the English language, by the method of Messrs. Pickets, can as easily be rendered proficient in any other tongue, as one who is a good Latin and Greek scholar. And no book more useful than the Juvenile Expositor, can be recommended to those who wish to acquire a knowledge of the meaning, derivation, and composition of words. The neat and stereotype execution of these books and their very reasonable pricey will, we hope, secure their universal circulation in this country. With them even a farmer boy, may, during the long nights of the winter season, secure to the younger portion of the family, a great deal of useful infor mation.

LITE FROM EUROPE. The Packet Ship Ontario, arrived at X. York j the 15th inst. bring-int London dates to tLe afternoon of the 31 Nov. The most important intelligence by this arrival is, that disturbances of a most appalling nature have occurred at Rrutol, in Enltnd, in consequence of the rejection of the Reform Bill. On the morning of Oct. 11, an attack vas made on the carriage of the Recorder with stoned and brickbats which cotfcp'eteiyidemo!ishes it, before it could be driven off, but not, however till Sir Charles had left it, and ran into the Mansion-House. As soon as he was safely housed, the special constables collected in a solid mass and mnde a desperate rush into the crowd, which fled in every direction. Many were struck down anil several severe'' bruised, i Loud crte of vengeance now arose, and in a short time a desperate attack was made on the constables, who again rushed out m a body and bore down all before them. At dusk the mob had gteatly increased, and the sailors and shipwrights had joined. The constables weie again attacked, and entirely defeated . Having cleared the area before the Mansion.llouse, they made a more regular attack on the house itself, The magistrates attempted to read the Riot Act, but were each time driven in by showers of stones. Lvery pane if glass was broken and the door shivered to atoms. The mob got entire possession of the house; hut the Mayor, Sir Chhrles, and the Alderman had escaped. The furniture of the house, was broken to pieces, and the dinner and wines soon disappeared . An attempt was then made to fi e the premises, which was prevented lor the pre sent by the arrival of the troops. It is bid there were 10,000 persons codected in the square at this time. During the sacking of the M jnsion-IIouse, the wine cellars were forced, which contained a stock of 300 dcz. of choice wines, which was carried off and drank bv the mob. They became more infuriate, in conse querice, and attacked the troops, who did not fire, no one present having the requisite authority to give orders to that effect. The troopa retiring, were followed by the mob, who continued their assaults, till provoked beyond endurance they turned and fired several shots on their assailants, and 8 cr 10 were killed or wounded. The mob proceeded to B-idewell, liberated the prisoners, and set the building on fire Ti.cy then proceeded to the New Jail, erected at a cost of 100,000. An attack on this budding was considered the wildest scheme that could have been imagined. But the rioters procured immense hammers from the adjoining ship yard, and with them the massive locks on the iron doors were smashed to atoms. The prisoners were released, and the building fired. A? soon as the work of destruction was completed here, the rioters divided themselves into parties and proceeded to the different TollHouses, which were speedily in Mimes. They then set off to the Gloucester County Prison, which was broken into, the prisoners released and the building fired. A mere handful of the mob then proceeded to the Bishop's Palace, efiected an entrance and commenced the work of destruction. Orders were then sent for the military, who had been guarding the MansionHouse to repair for the protection of the Bishop's Palace, which was scarcely done when it was discovered that the Mansion. House was enveloped in flames. The troops turned back to the Mansion-House, which gave opportunity for firing the Bishop's Palace; and thus in eii deavoring to protect both places, both were sacrificed. The Custom House and the Excise Oflice were also destroyed. Altogether there were destroyed 42 dwelling j houses and ware houses, exclusive of the Man i sion House, Excise Office, Custom Ifouse, the four To'l 'Houses, the three prisons, and tie Bishop's Palace. The total number ot killed and wounded, who weie taken to the public hospitals, is about sixty. Many lives weie lost in the flames, and som?, who received injury, were taken to their c.vn homes. The K'ng issued a proclamation ordering all public officers, and all liege subjects to repress all tumults, riots, &.c. and brir. to justice offenders. Toe government of Francs have resolved to create a sufficient number of Peers to carry t! rough the upper Chamber, the Bill which has passed the chamber of Deputies, abolishing aa hereditary peerage. We copy the following from the Boston Statesman, in relation to the Ute distutbances in England. What an enviable distinction to be an English Peer, wilh the prvilege of being pelted with mud, and saluted with brick bats, and have the d iy lights of your palace demolished as often as the sovereign mob are disposed for a little amusement ! What an enviable distinction to have your name before the pu'-lic, when you dare not show your head! Nobility was never at so low an ebb in England as at this moiw.. i i. .1 ...:n I. to take new titles to provoke the tender mercvof the mob, till all the mud

Whnt consolation can it be to Wellington, to read in a morning prprr, after he had been plastered with filth, that 'A young m m was on Monday committed to take his trial at the West minster Session?, for pelting with mud at the Duke of Wellington, when on his way to the House of Lords?' What consolation to Lord London derry, to learn through the Gazette, that 'he has received a deep cut from a stone, by the mob; that he had been bled and was doing well?' What solace to the Marquis of Bristol, to learn that 'his windows had been smashed by a mob?' Or to Lords Dudlev and Ward, that the like compliment had been paid to them. There is sometiiing rotten in the practical operation of the English constitution which seems to threaten the overthrow of the government, unless some remedy, and that speedy, be adopted. What reason have we to thank heaven for the blessing we enjoy under the only free government in the world. Extract from a Washington letter, published in the N. Y. Sentinel: 'Mr. Clay has arrived. He had procured a new carriage to convey him to Washington. In passing May's Lick, the tongue of his vehicle gave way; u new one was procured by his friends, made in as elegant a manner as the ori1.1 m

Georgia the JIissioiarie3 and the Supreme Court. The correspondent of ihe Savannah Georgia, writes from Milledgeville under dato of Friday, 25th tilt, thit a message was received in legislature from the Governor enclosing a citation to the State to ap. pear before the Supreme Court, in Jan uary next, pursuant to a writ of error 4 filed,, in the Superior Court of Gwinnett county, on the part of Samuel A. Worcester and Enzur Butler, (the Missionaries) Plaintiffs in error, to show cauee why the judgment rendered against laid plaintiffs should not be corrected, See signed Henry Baldwin: and a notice of application for such citation, from Win.

Essex Democrat. Wood. The Baltimore American of Wednesday, contains the following paragraph, which our neighbors, of that city, will consider as another practical argument in favor of rail-roads: "We are gratified to learnslhat in consequeuce of the extreme coldness of the weather, and the scarcity of the fuel at the present time in this city, extensive arrangements have been mde bv the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-road Company to transport fire wood on the road; and that, until the supply is more abundant, a preference will be given to that article over every other. These measures are adopted to relieve the pressure of the present advanced prices of fud on the poorer classes. The existing arrangement will accomplish the transportation of 200 cords a day, and this amount, may be increased in case the public exigencies require it.
