It is stated Jn a Havre piper that the Duke had repaired to that place incognito for the purpose of meeting his sister and Dona Maria bat that an order was sent him : to quit Havre immediately. Another journal, however, states that he was living in the-same hotel with the queen, without meeting With any difficulty from the government. 13a this as it may, it is not improbable that the king of the French was desirous to promote an alliance between Dona Maria and his son. In the position he stands, it would bo an agreeable event, in asmuch as it would stren2lhen,him on his throne and flatter the pride of the French people; but on the other hand it is equally probable, that -England would not have looked at a connexion with pleasure, which would no doubt result in weakening the ties which have so Ion? connected her with Por-

tuga!, and enabled her to exercise a paramount in-! :fluence over the politics of that country. '"There is aBayonne account from Spain that the Duke de Cadoval had gone over with his troops to Don Pedro, and that Don Miguel had retired into Spain; but it is most likely, nothing but a stockjobbing ma nreuvrc. Nor are the accounts of the state of the healih of the King of Spain of a nature to be depended on. Our correspondent at Brussels details the state of affairs in Germany and Switzerland. Much importance isattachedbysome of the continental journalists, to tho meeting of the Emperors of Russia and Austria but we cannot think with any reason. The papers are filled with afflicting details of

the effects of a most violent gale on the coast of

England and France, Belgium and Holland, on the 31st August and 1st September. Besides the conTict ship, the Amphitrite, of whose loss we were already informed, and by which 100 female con

victs perished, an English East Indiamnn loaded with indigo, and a Dutch vessel with GOO hogsheads of sugar, have been also lost with numerous coasting vessels, steamers, &,c. In short, the destruction of life and property appears to have been immense. Advices from Ostend had been received in London, which stated that an American vessel, outward bound, had beenlost off Dunkirk with 180 passengers, ail of whom had perished. We are happy to add, however, that the last London paper received, says, "We trust, and have reason to believe, that this account will prove 'unfounded.1' The tempest had also inflicted great injury on the orchards garden's and particularly on the hop grounds throughout England.

From the Somerset Whig. Fire We stop the press to record one among the greatest calamities that has ever occurred by FIRE, in any village of the same size. This raorninff, October 16. about half past two

o'clock, the cry of fire was heard by the citizens of

this town! It was discovered in the house owned by J. F. Cox, Esq. and occupied by several families, and several Mechanics as shops. In a few moments it spread into an awful conflagration, second only to that which laid Cumberland in ruins a few months ago. With inconceivable rapidity it spread both east and west, and notwithstanding the most energetic exertions were made by the citizens, to subdue, its progress was not sensibly arrested, until every house between the street which crosses Main 6treet at Judge Kurtz's and Main Cross street, were entirely consumed. About day light Captain Webster's Hotel, on one side of Main street, and the

house of J. Snyder, Esq. on the other, were enveloped in flames. All chance of saving 'the remainder of the town was then seen to be desperate. But the citizens made one powerful effort of united strength, and concentrated action, although they were without fire hooks or ladders, the white frame house on the north-west corner of the square, was rased to the crround in a time unaccountably short.

The Ensrine was then brought to play upon the

house of F. Gebhart, and all the appliances that

could be beneficial were used upon it, as well as up

on the house of Ross tc Parker. Finally, those

houses were saved and the progress of the flames arrested by the most vigorous exertions that were,

perhaps, ever made in a case of the kind. It was stopped in the west without much trouble owing to a steady breeze from that quarter. We have no means of ascertaining tha loss it must be immense. Upwards of THIRTY FAMILIES are turned homeless into the streets. The part of the town which is now in ashes, was the most business doinir and populous, as well as most valuable. Stores, Offices, Shops, Taverns all have been consumed. Many of the Store Goods of Messrs. Neff and Stall, Mr. Michaels, and Mr. Snyder have been saved. Some private families have lost their all! Some have saved much of their furniture. We would suppose the whole loss, not less than OwVE IIUXDREB TllOUSAXD DOLLARS.

How to Catch Crows. Wilson, in his American Ornithology, says that crows have been employed to catch crows, by the following stratagem: a

live crow is pinned by the wings down to the ground on his back, by the means of two sharp forked sticks; thus situated, his cries are loud and incessant, particularly if any other crows are within view. These sweeping down about him, arc instantly grappled and held fast by the prostrate prisoner, with the same instinctive impulse that urges a drowning man to grasp, at every thing within his reach. The game being disengaged from his clutches the trap is again ready for another experiment, and by pinning down each captive successively, as soon as taken, in a short time you will proba"bly have a large flock screaming about you, in concert with the outrageous prisoners below. This method of catching crows, is I believe, practised in some parts of England to catch jays, who make a most violent

outcry when pinned to the ground.

Ric7iVonJ,Oct. 14. Extcmire Stage Rohbtry. It will be seen by an advertisement in another column of our paper that a trunk containing a large amount of money, in bank notes, was cut from tho Fredericksburg

Stage on its way from this city yesterday morning. The empty trunk was found about four miles' from

LATE FROM EUROPE. By the packet ship John Jay, Captain Glover, our advices are from Liverpool to the 6th, and London to the 7th September, all inclusive. The papers are barren of any important information. We

We do not find that any American vessels were lost except one, and she is not named. JV". Y. Gazette. The Duchess of Bern. The Garde National of Marseilles of the 27th ult. says "The Countess de Lucchesi-Paili has left Naples for Rome, whence she will continue her journey to Prague via Florence and Massa, where the Ducal Palace has been prepared for her reception.

Don Miguel had confided to M. de Bourmorit the ; h?ss time required for changing places, going out,

for changing places, &c. and the scholars, if heard

singly, would have ten minutes recitation and teaching per day. Now if these forty scholars could be properly arranged in four classes then each class would have one hour and forty minutes for its time of recitation per day, and each scholar might get the benefit of the whole recitation. But, if scholars are not very nearly equal in acquirements and abilities, they should by no means be thrown together to work in class. And in common schools of forty scholars there must probably be eight or more classes. If then there were five in a class, that class may have fifty minutes for the recitation. At six hours a day, which is the usual time for winter, a class of five would not get more than twenty minutes per half day. If thbse five scholars are young or are in the rudiments of the ground work of education, they will lose, if just beginning to learn to read, &c. more than two hours out of three; if a little farther advanced, perhaps they may lose one and a half hour or an hour out of every three. They lose it as to study, because they nannot go on without the teacher to lead them; but that is not the worst, they turn the time to mischief, and school becomes the place for roguery or an irksome place of confinement.
