Our GIBTARTT GABLE. The Seventh Part of Cassell's Poriii.,kit EDUCATOR, eommencing the Second Vulume, contains Lessons in Geography, French, German, Geology, Knglish, Latin, Architecture, Arithmetic, Music, Physiology, Penman- ship, Natural History, and Botany; with an article on the Philosophy of Study," apparently the first of a The obi pet of these articles is to illustrate the adaptation of time and talent to the acquirement of knowledge." The writer remarks, that, there are three things necessary for acquiring knowledge-time, tateuts, and information." "The amount of knowledge which a man way possess, is in exact proportion to his time and talent#, and the information within his reach. The amount which he does possess, is in exact proportion to the wisdom and diligence with which he applies his time and talents to his information. The disparity between these two proportions indicates the time and talent that are wasted and it is this disparity which has given rise to these essays, in which the writer intends" to show how we may reach the maximum, or highest point of success in the pursuits of, knowledge," aud this he terms The Philosophy of Study." The perusal of this essay makes us desirous of seeing those that are to follow. We should not dismiss this part, without observing, that the "Lessons" are all very cleverly drawn out; and those that require it are illustrated by maps, plates, or diagrams.

Titeritry LIOxtrarts. Swnso WITH THE ByES SHTT.-THST which we know as the highest truth in science is only to lie known by a resolute turning our backs upon all that our experience seems to teach, or our natural couviction assures us of-- as is proved, indeed, by the long-continued vain attempts to obtain perpetual motion. Those wan simply had not seen with their eyes closed. For, to sach vision, motion is perpetual. Let u,think for a moment what a won- derful world it is that we see when we look at it thus, as science bids us, not according, to, but through the senses, tracingin imagination thedevelopmeutof human thought. We see the flat earth round itself iuto a sphere, and our fellows beneath our feet look up to '1 heaven where we had fancied the abyss. We see this sphere loosed from its moorings, and sent rolling through the depthe of space, am¡ a» it Tolls, the crysWline vault 9f heavcn sl??? its band", and expa"d., and growa, until it stretches out into the boundless universe which tax us our imagination still in vain. We see the 1Il00int<lin trips beneath the sea, reoeiving there the freight of relics which, on their mighty altars, they shall uplift to heaven. W« see earth's surface fashioned by water on a b.ill of fire. We see it no more haunted by spirits, dwelling innumerable in every wood, or vale, or fount, but itself animated with a secret and all-embracing life, uwtinct with gleaming force, and daily driuking in new UrtORht* frtbi beaveq, until it overflows in every strong or rfaieful liviiii? form. We see it permeated through and through with streams of power, circulating as if through vital arteries; each linked with the other inan endless chain, aud, at our bidding, rising up into our own frames, lending their vigour to our arm or brain. In not one point does the vision answer to what our senses feel; infinitely, and in all points it surpasses them. THE DVKK OF BUCKINGHAM'S STRANGE DREAM.- As for myself, I am ashamed to say that I am more low than I should dare confess to any one, by a dream which haunted me in my sleep, with a degree of precision that is really frightful. I was at Stowe, my dear and re- gretted home.-All was desolate—not a soul appeared to receive me. My good dog met me, and licked my hand. Accompanied by him, I traversed all the apartments- all desolate and solitary every room as I had left it. On my return from the state bedroom, I met my wife She told me all my family were gone, and that she was left desolate—that even her little favourite dog, which had been her sole remaining companion, had died a few days ago. We went out at the north hall-door together, aud all was solitude and desertion. I awoke with the distress of the moment, aud I slept no more that night. I do not like to confess how much effect this has had upon me. I have not the slightest faith in dreams, but this has strongly accorded with the feelings and tone of of my mind, and I canuot shake it off. Those who will ever see this journal will, I am sure, not laugh at my feelings. TaE LONDONER'S ADVANTAGE.—We have lately had it asked what the Japanese Ambassadors can say to their Emperor when they get back to their own country. Well, I venture to suggest a speech for them:—" Sun of all excellence and all grandery we have seen a city in which almost every one of the inhabitants is richer than thou art! Of course, I do not mean that the citizens of London have in their houses more treasure than the Fmperorof Japan or the Emperor of China has in his Summer Palace or Winter Palace; but I do maintain that each one of them, eveu with a limited money- income, is a more opulent man than an Asiatic u.onarch, if riches consists less in mere possessions than in the advantages which they can procure for a man, and the means which they give to him of slipping off the fetters of his necessities. The Eastern king keeps a stafi of learned men who record, at great expense and with no truth, the splendours of their master's reign; the people of London have in their service an army of journalists who chronicle, day by day, with independence as well as ability, the history of their city, and of the whole world too. The barbarian monarch may boast, if he likes, of being able to travel through his dominions on the back of a white elephant: the most obscure inhabitant of London, who wants to go abroad, find the marvellous iron monster of the railroad ready to carry him at the speed of the thunder-bolt. The Asiatic sovereign, to amuse him in his haughty idleness, has little to turn to put the monotonous daucing of women and slaves; the merest shopkeeper in London can, for a few shillings, find himself in a theatre where skilled actors and actreses translate into visible form for him the sublimest dreams of the sublimest dramatic genius of the universe. Once more may I not well ask, which is the richer of the two men the Oriental despot, or the Londoner ?--Cortiltill Maguzine.. While London newspapers have been showing the sauciness, and incompetence, and personal folly of ser- vants, there have been all degrees of comfort. and dis- comfort throughout the country, as there have been all sorts of iutellecta and tempers at work. There are households where servants arrived years ago, indisputa- bly respectable in character, but with serious draw- backs-in health, in temper, in mental or outward habits-and where those same servants are now living healthy, improved in temper, awakened intellectually, and thoroughly trained in their respective departments, To the back doors of some of those houses come respec- table servants from the neighbourhood, just to ask whether there is WI ebance of a vacancy, and to petition that if there should be one tllt!1 should be seut fur, that they might 'really settle," which they find it so diffi- cult to do. In the same neighbourhood there may bo a house or two where the mistress complains that she has no peace because now-a-days no servant will stay. She hires at a distance that the reputation of her service may not deter applicants; and she has no choice, for she cannot get a servant where she is known. She means to be kind, aud promises rewards if only the new cook and housemaid will stay but in a little while she finds, some morning, that the fires are not lighted or some evening, in returning from a. visit the bell is not answered. Her maids have absconded as usual; and she pokes questions about the precinct? of other peoples' houses to learn how thev make their sen-ants stay on for years together. When the point of difference is found, she thinks herself right; and she goes on treat- ing her maids as if they were in a nunnery, or teasing them about their work, or requiring undue homage from them, or stinting their comforts; and her com- plaints are far more likely to get into the newspapers than all the complacencies of the comfortable.—Once a Weck. CRUELTIES OF THE INDIANS.—Savage as the old In- dians are, the young ones, both male and female, are more to be dreaded by the captive than those of ma- turer years, for they have no restraint upon their savage propensities, and they indeed often vie with each other in inventing excruciating modes of torture. In winter they are at times so ill off for food that they will eat that which a pig would hardly touch, and I have seen a woman aud child who had died of actual hunger. Their commonest food, besides fish and wild animals, consists of ground-nuts, nuts, and acorns, lily roots, and many other routs and weeds. Their modes of torture are many and horrible. They often scourge men and women to death, and burn others in slow-piled fires so as to prolong their agony. I have seen four Indian fiends seize a wretched captive, each taking hold of a limb, swinging him up and down on the ground with full force until they had mangled his body and killed him. Their only parallel is to be found in Mexico, in the inhuman abominations of that atrocious, cold-blooded villain, Mi- ralllon-a wretch who, among other horrible enormities, ordered five hundred lashes to be laid on the bare back of a niitt simply for entreating peace for his country, and who exclaimed, as the victim .was reported dying after three hundred and fifty had been administered, Let the remainder then, be given on his dead body." The same infuriated monster commanded three hundred lashes to be given to a pregnant woman, who, horrible to relate, gave birth to a child whilst under the stripes, and died on the spot. Such heart-sickening inhumanity is only equalled amongst the barbarous northern Indians, and the Chinese brutes. I have heard of an old squaw who constantly endeavoured to outdo all others in cruelty to captives. Whenever she came into a wigwam where any poor naked starved captives were sitting near the fire, she would Btealthily take up hot brands, and throw them over their uncovered bodies; if they were weak or young, she would seize them by the leg aud drag them through the fire. One poor old wan who had fallen into the hands of the,. ruthless ùarbarians had a burden of sticks placed upon his back, and, although feeble and weak, was compelled to carry hU load several miles into the swampy forest, where they stripped him naked and bound him to a tree. These fieuds amused themselves by pluckiug the white hairs from his head, by beating him with wands, and by other cruelties, until finally they scalped him and roasted him alive, making thereafter a hearty meal upon the smoking human flesh.-¡[acdon. alil's British Columbia.

A SAILOR PROFESSOR.—Captain Burrows, R.N., of V ngdalen Hal), has been elected to the Cichele profes- sorship of moderuhistory in Oxford. Capt. Burrows is a singular instance of a man who has taken to study late in life, obtaining distinction. After passing to the rank of oommander in the naval profession, he went up to Oxford and took a first class in classics in 1850, and a first class in the law and modern history school at the Easter examination, 1857. He is the author of the well- known book on Oxford studies, and Class," and a pamphlet on educational reform. A CONSCIENCE-SMITTEN THIEF.—A few days ago, a larly had her pocket picked while in a shop in Union- street, as she believed. Information was given to the police, but though every exertion was made to find a clue to the thief, no satisfactory trace could be got. Two days ago, however, a note was sent to the lady's resi- dence, enclosed in an envelope with a half-mourning border, and on ita being opened, the lost money in tale some zC5, (but minus the purse,) was found in it, along with the words (written apparently in a disguised hand) I canna keep your money langer." The thief, of whatever age or sex, can hardly have bepn a hardened offcuder,Aberdeen Pree Press. AN IMPORTANT ADJUNCT TO SEA-BATHING.—When the air of the coast and Sea-Bathing are recommended for general debility from whatever cause, or other various complaints, such as scrofulous disorders, rickets, cutane- otis eruptions, and nervous depression, peculiar to dif- ferent ages and constitutions, the salutary change in the health will be materially promoted by the administra- tion of Dr. de Jongh's celebrated Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil. The advantage of combining this safe, sim- ?% f e, g i ni- ple, and most efficacious remedy with a a course of Sea. Bathing can be easily understood, when it is recollected that the extraordinary curative action of Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil has been specially manifes- ted in the treatment of the maladies for which the Sea- bath and the Sea-atmosphere are recommended. By its stimulating and restorative influence on the system, Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil prevents that feeling of imivereal ohill, which renders bathing inju- rious to the weak and the sensitive child, or to the de- bilitated adult. It insures a proper reaction after the bath, causes a general glow throughout the body, and prevents those evil consequences, excessive fatigue, las- situde, and a sensation of general illness, which render the abandonment of Sea-Bathing compulsory upou many enfeebled invalids.

No, my lord," said the actor, I would rather play the part of a great man on the stage than the part of a fool in parliament." JAM.—The industrious old lady, who walked all over town with a can in her hand to procure a quart of the milk of human kindness," has been more successful in getting a little jam out of the door. She got the jam on her fingers. A Lady, very fond of her husband, notwithstanding his ugliness of person, once said to Rogers, the poet, What do vou think ?—my husband has laid out fifty guineas for a baboon, on purpose to please me.The dear little man replied Rogers, "it's just like him." REPENTANCE.—A gentleman, passing by a country church while under repair, observed to one of the workmen that he thought it would be an expensive job. Yes, sir," he replied; and I think we shall accom- plish what our worthy minister has so long vainly tried —that is, to bring the whole parish to repentance." COMPULSION.—A feUow walking through the Old Bailey, at the time of execution, when an Irishman was on the point of being turned off, inhumanly bawled out, Are you there ? I always said you would come to be hanged."—" You're a liar," replied Pat, "if it was the last word I had to spake! I did not come, I was brought." INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.

QUERY. A country merchant had of stock abundance, Of ready cash possessed he no redundance; He therefore borrowed thirteen hundred pounds, For which, per year, as many quarter crowns He had to pay; now say, how milch I11 thrice three quarter years he paid for such ? MUSE.—Did you ever travel in an omnibus on a rainy day, windows and doors closed, eight on a side, limited of course to six, and among that number two women covered with musk "Drivare," said a French- man, "let me out of ze dore—I am suffocate .'—Y ou, 'ave vat you call one musty rat iu ze omnibus. I 'ave no parapluie, tuaia I prefer ze rain water to ze mauvais smell." GETTING UP-STAIBS.—Said an old preacher once, Fellow-sinners, if you were told that by going to the top of those stairs yonder (pointing to a ricketty pair at one end of the church), you might secure your eternal salvation, I really believe hardly any of you would try it. But let any man proclaim that there was five hundred dollars up there for you, and I'll be bound there would be such a getting up-stairs as you never did see." AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.—Captain Marryat, in one of his works, quotes the following paragraph as a speci- men of the raw material of American newspapers:- Many who have acquired great fame and celebrity in the world began their career as printers. Sir William Blackstone, the learned English commentator 011 laws, was a printer by trade. King Charles III. (!) was a pl inter, and not unfrequently worked at the trade after he had ascended the throne of England." NOAH'S WINE.—The following is a translation of an advertisement which appeared in a French pa p er, :nit;loo;t Ni:hs Á: N; i IIVHC.—The vine which produces it is to be traced, according to tradition, to that which the good father Noah planted when he came out of the Ark. In order to make it known at the soirtes which are now com- mencing, it will be sold at present at four francs a bottle, but afterwards it will be raised to six francs. Nectar—ambrosia—are nothing compared to this wine. lt made the good father NOrlh tipsy, which is. srlving everything. The patriarch was not a man to get tipsy on bad wine." DUMB LANGUAGE.—Smith, the auctioneer, is a popular mail, a wit, and a gentleman. No person is offended at what he says, and many a hearty laugh has he pro- voked by his humorous sayings. He was recently enaged in a sale of venerable honsehold furniture and "fixings." He had just got to "go)ng,goit)g,and a ?ilf, a half going when he saw a smiling countenance, upon agricultural shoulders, wink at him. A wink is always as good as a nod to a blind horse, or to a keen- sighted auctioneer, so Smith winked, and the man winked, and they kept winking, and Smith kept "going, going, going," with a lot of glass ware, stove pipes, carpets, pots and perfumery, and finally this lot was knocked down. To—who ?" said Smith, gazing at the smiling stranger." Who ? Golly said the stranger, "I dnulln, know who." "Why you, sir," said Smith. Who ? me ?" Yes, yes, you bid on the lot," said Smith. "Me 1 hang me if I did," insisted the stranger. Why, did you not wink, and keep winking 1" "Wink- ing Well, I did and so did you at me. I thought yoti were winking as much as to say, 'Keep dark, I'll stick somebody into that lot of stuff,' and I winked as much lIB to say, 'I'll be hanged if you don't, mis- ter HAnD LINES.—After Lines and Sid left the vicarage with their prize of chickens and turkeys, they took up their" line of march" for town. They were consider- ably fatigued with the heavy load aud excess ot stimu- lant they had taken after reaching the summit of a hill about a mile from the nearest tavern. Lines proposed a halt. Sid announced himself "agreeable." They found a convenient resting-place, secluded from the bleak north wind, and where the sun of a Noyember afternoon made the atmosphere tolerably comfortable. As soon a, they halted, Lines sounded the wooden bottle and declared 11 low tide," but still thought they had enough to get over the bar. (In his younger days he had been with those who "go down to the sea in ships," and was familiar with nautical phrases.) Didn't I tell you, Sid, we'd have something for thanksgiving before we went home ?" Well, you did, but I couldn't see how yon 'd make it out. What a glorious, good natured old fellow the curate is, though especially when he gets I mad.

Lines was in just the right condition for another joke as he saw a man ascending the hill on the other side, and recognized him as Sam Barker, a friend of his, whom he had often seen iu town with his load of wood for sale: Just before he reached the place where they were sitting, Lines crawled along by the side of the log, and apparently emerged from the other end just as Sam reached the place. "Hallo, Lines," says Sam, what the d- are you up to there f" No- thing," says Lines, "only trying an experiment, and I've done it, but you can't." Can't what ? I can do any- thing you can," I'll bet you a quarter you can't." All right, I'll go it! What can you do that I can't ?" "Why, just here, you can't crawl through that 'ere log." ?he idea, to Sam, seemed preposterous, for the hole through the log looked big enough for a larger man than he was to go through easily so he took off his over-coat and made his entree. He had got fairly inside the log when Lines gave one of his significant nods to Sid, when they rolled the log out of the bed where it had lain so long and started it down the hill. They stayed there just long enough to see the log trundling down toward a oman brook that crossed the road. They didn't wait to see Sam safe out of his log, but Lines seized hia bunch of chickens and bottle, while Sid took his portion of plunder, together with the gun and started for home. According to dead reckoning,' Sid, I believe I lost that quarter," says Lines; but Jlver miud, we WUU'T wait, I'll owe it to him,"

A large lump of gold has been dug out in the SiskIyou region, near the border line between Oregon and Cali- fornia. It weighs 190 ounces. It is not quite pure, and is worth about £600. At the late ball at Bourges, on the Empress Eugene appearing, the Mayor presented to her a magnificent bouquet of natural exotic lfowers in a rich holder of gold, with a handle of red jasper, bearing the arms of the town. A MESSAGE FROM THE SEA.-On Saturday last, as two lads, named Hen. Hope and Robt. Tanner, were fishintr at Sea-mills, they saw a bottle drifting ashore, and with considerable curiosity awaited its arri- val. They succeeded in getting it, and found that it was very tightly corked, so that they were obliged to break the cork to pieces before they could discover the nature of its contents. It turned t>ut to be a card with writing on it in pencil, in legible characters. It was as follows:—"June 14, 1860.-We are all lost on the African coast. The mate died on Friday. My name is Joda Reibeiro da Selara. I was the only one that could write English, Good bye. Ship Brazillier." On the back of the card was printed in copperplate, W. J.

Foley, was barbarously mur- dered at Ardmore, by her daughter, Honora Foley, who, with a knife and some blunt instrument, cut and mangled the body in a shocking manner. She was de- tected in the act, and immediately arrested by the police. They lived on bad terms, and had had a dispute as to the payment for some eggs. THE ACCIDENTAL WIFE SHOOTING AT SALFORD.—On Monday, at the Salford Town Hall, Charles Knott was brought up on' remand, charged with shooting his wife on Sunday the 6th inst. The woman is still in a very feeble statebut there is now some hope of her reco- very. The medical certificate stated that she was pro- gressing favourably. The prisoner was again remanded for a week, and admitted to bail.—Manchester Guardian. DREADFUL DEATH OF A YOUNG BRIDE BY FJRE.- It is little more than a fortnight since we announced in these columns the gay and happy marriage of Ann Eliza, daughter of Mr J. T. Mittel, Rye, to Mr. J. Womell, of .Folbtone; it is now our painful task to announce the death of the bride, which occurred on Saturday, at Hythe. We have not heard any particulars as to the cause of this accident. A telegraph message arrived on Saturday evening, announcing the fact to Mr. Mittell which has thrown his family into inexpressible grief and cast a gloom over the whole town.—Simex Express. AN OVEHDRAWN CHEQUE.—Mr. Chambers, a clerk with Messrs. Thiedemann and Co., of Newcastle, recov. ered £20 damages in the Court of Common Pleas last week, against Messrs. Miller and Armstrong, managers and cashiers of the Union Bank at Sunderland, for an assault, in having forcibly taken from him X150 Ils, 6d. which ha l been given him by df??d,,nt., few minutes before the assault in payment of a cheque. The aUeged ground for taking back the money was that the account of the drawers of the cheque was found, after payment of the money, to be overdrawn. The judge thought the money was in the pos.ies"ioll of the plaintiff at the time, a id in that opinion the jury concurred. [THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.—A great Demonstra- Jion," as it is calle, which is to attend the laying at Dublin of the foundation stone of the Catholic Univer- sity on Sunday, the 20th inst., engages the attention of the ultramortane party at Dublin, to the exclusion of every other topic. The plan is, to have a procession of trades throsgh the streets of Dublin, the operatives to wear green rosettes and to be headed by their clergy. After a solemn high mass at the Cathedral, ;\Jarlborough street, the nieti-,tbout twenty thousand it is said—are to walk to the spot selected, about two miles fI1j(1 a half distant in the suburbs, and there to be addressed by Archbishop Hughes, of New York, and Monsignor Du- panloup. A RESULT OF THE AMERICAN WAR.—A singular case, which raises a question of international law, came before Baron Fitzgerald, at Dublin, on Friday sitting in Chamber. In the case of Thompson v. Knox, an action on a promissory note made at Charleston, South Carolina, and payable fit the People's Bank in the Federal States, inir., Henderson moved. 011 behalf of the defendant, for leave to file a special defence under the following cir- cumstances :—Plaintiff was a citizen of the Confederate States, and defendant of the Federal States, but now re- siding in Ireland. Since the breaking out of hostilities between the Northern and Southern States, a law was passed by the Federal Government by which all citizens of the Federal States were prohibited from paying debts to any citizen of the Confederate States, on pain of being treated at traitors. The law further directed that in such cases the debtor was to pay the amount into the Treasury of the United States, and this the defendant allcgi d had been done by his partner in America. Coun- sel stilted that his client would be liable to be hanged if he payed the debt. The Court granted leave to file the defence. THE BEGINNING OF THE END,-It is a pity the Ameri- cans cannot understand the good policy of telling truth.

There are enthu- siastic peace meetings in New York-never heard of un- til this mail. There is a demand for a new levy of 300,000 men, which shows that at least this number of of the 700,000 previously on the pay list are dead, wouuded, disttbled, or dispersed. There are discussions whether the North, while protesting against interven- tion, shall not submit to meditation. There is a slight sign of colkpse about some of the largest bubbles in Wall-street. There is a talk of prohibiting the expor- tation of gold; aucl what is only a clumsy move to the same purpose, the House of Representatives have passed the Prohibitory Tariff Bill. All these things show that the beginning of the end is not very far off.- Times. A PLYMOUTH GHOS-T STORY.—On Sunday evening, about the time of lighting the street lamps, considerable excitement was ocoasioned near the top of Union-street, Plymouth, through a report that a ghost had been seen at Mr. Marshall's, connected with whose house there is a large room used as a dancing school. Some hun- dreds of people collected in front of the premises, an d the inmates of the house came outside. Those who were early on the spot saw something on the roof of the hous% which some said was a ghost, but others declared to be a person with a white dress on. The apparition was invited to f come down, but, heeding not, it simply passed to and fro. All this time the crowd continued to increas". Various were the 3urmisesancl suggestions. Some said the police, should be called, others went in quest of ladders. Police and ladders arrived, but by this the ghost, or whatever it was, had disappeared. The re- sult of a little quiet investigation was, thatall this alarm and excitemeut was occasioned by the odd freak of a little boy named Martin. This youngster was sent to bed too early, aud therefore resolved on taking a walk. He left his bed, and, without putting on his clothes, I went on the roof of the house, and walked to and fro, until he discovered the great interest his appearance had excited, and then from a dread of the consequence, or for other reasons, he left his elevated promenade and descended to his bed. On learning what had been the apparition, the wondering crowd dispersed, some disap- pointed that it WIIS" no real ghost after all.Wcstcl'l1 News. WELSH SURNAMES.—Surnames in Wales were not adopted until a comparatively recent period, and the mode of developement here was peculiar. One principle for constructing names not unknown in England, was especially adapted by the custom of the Principality. The first idea was to take the father's name, with the particle ap," or" son oi," the same as the Norman FiW and not altogether unlke the Scotch Mae," or the Irish" 0' Even a hundred years back it was not unusualto hear Welsh names, as Ev¡;n.ap.Griffith-ap. David-ap-Jenkin, and so on to the seventh and eighth generation. The church of Llangollen in Wales, remains solemnly dedicated to Saint Collen-ap-Gwynnawg-ap- Clyndawg-ap Cowrda ap-Caradoc-Friechfras-ap-Llynn- Merim-ap Ernion Yrth -ap-Cunedda-Wledig. To bur- lesque this very extraordinary fiashioii of nomenclature, a witty rhymester of the seventeenth century describes WeJsheheese as Adam's own cousin-german by birth, Ap-Curds-ap-Milk-ap-Cow-ap-Grass-ap-Earth." fit the plays of the Elizabethan period there is frequent allusion to this ludicrous Welsh system of names. Even with the gentry, the use of hereditary surnames did not come into effect until the time of Henry VIII., who paid great attention to the subject. He strongly recom- mended the heads of Welsh families to conform to the usage long before it oecame universal among the En. glish; aud, in consequence, many made their own surnames stationary, while a few adapted the sur- names of English relations. Among these latter was the family of Williams, which, some generation after this gracious recommendation gave birth to Oliver j Cromwell.

ftENERAL REPORT FOR Tttg YEAR 186% BY HER MAJESTY'S INSPECTOR, THE REV. H. LONGUKVILLK JOtfES, M.A., ON THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS INSPEC- TED IN WALKS. My Lord8,1 have the honor of presenting to your Lordships my report on schools inspected in Wales by my colleague the Rev. B. J. Binns and myself during the official year 1860-61. In so- doing it is always a pie-ing duty to bring under the notice of your Lordships the highly efficient maimer in which Mr. Binns has aided me during this and all preceding periods, never sparing his labour, and always co-operating in the most prompt and judicious manner. The work in my district has been so much increased of late years, that, without his constant help, at leilst one half of the schools would have to remain uninspected. The principal resulte of my inspection during the pe- riod named above are the following (I.) The number of schools, qualifymg tnemselyes w receive annual grants, is still on the increase. (2.) The attendance of the children is rather more (3.) Money payments continue to be made cheerfully, and, except in cases of destitution, from whatever causes, are not considered as any hardship. (4.) Children still leave school at an age earlier than what an anxious teacher could desire; but almost always in order that they may enter on some active and remu. nemtive employment, for which the improved methods of instruction now in operation have fitted them in a shorter time than was formerly possible. (5.) Religious differences, except when stirred up by interested parties, do not interfere with the harmonious working of Parochial or National schools in Wales.* Whenever a parish school is conducted on the fair and non-compulsory plan, which is now generally adopted, children of parents of all religious denominations attend, and receive religious instruction without any remon- strance on the part of their friends. There is no com- pulsion or persecution for conscience' sake; and it is a positive fact that in the rural parishes of Wales at least, if not in those of towns, the ordinary parochial or church school is used without any objection or remonstrance by parents of all opinions. What the labouring classes principally look for is a good school; they have quite tact and judgement enough to find out which is good and which is bad; and when a school has established its character and is conducted judiciously, it commands public support without any murmurings on the score of differences as to religious creeds. Nothing is more easy than to get up a demonstration against almost any school, amI upon almost any grounds, religious or not; simple-minded and confiding are the people in the pre- sence of skilful agitators. But if parents are left to follow the dictates of their own judgment, they will send their children to the best and most convenient school, no matter what may be its name or denomination. (6.) The provisions made for the teaching of the younger children are still lamentably deficient. In very few parishes of Wales can an infant school be supported separately from the general parochial one; and in this general school, the staff of teachers, the mode in which that staff is organized, and the arrangements ofthe build- ing are commonly unsuited to the instruction of infants or of very young classes, cot j lintly with older ones. Besides this, two other causes operate against the proper education of infants in rural parishes. The first is, that school managers know too little about the principles and details of this part of educational duties; aud they are inclined to spend too large a portion of their funds on the oltler children, while they starve the instruction of the little ones. The other is, that the teachers are com- monly unfitted for this special branch. Certificated masters are generally above it; apprentices are not qua- lified for, and commonly dislike, it; simple monitors do little more than keep a class seldom in silence, generally in noise. Until some great modification of the existing system is made, whereby the aid of good female teachers may be secured for the infant classes of schools, those infants will always be neglected, and their progress re- tarded. It is astonishing, indeed, that they do gct on in the degree witnessed; but the whole progress of schools, and of the people generally, might be accelerated and improved to an extent not yet thought practicable, if only proper means,—I had rather say common justice,- were used with regard to the training of infants and children of very tender age. Of the he or six years years now spent in parochial schools, two may be assigued a. the period during which children come on in spite of neglect, and by dint of their mother wit alone. (7.) School buildings continue to improve slowly in respect of ventilation and cleanliness. Managers and teachers seems to be awakening to a sense of the impor- tance of these subjects; and though they have commonly to contend against the inconveniences entailed upon them by architectural or structural faults, yet they begin to find out that at a very moderate cost they can ven- tilate their schools for themselves; and also that one of the best lessons they can teach, after the regular and iudispensible series of those on religious matters, is that of personal, domestic, and scholastic cleanliness. I wish it were in my power to report that schools are built with greater regard to economy than in former days. I see few signs of amendment in this direction and the de- sire, whether expressed or understood, that school build- ings (though erected with the aid of the parliamentary grant 011 the score of insufficient local funds) are to be made architectural embellishments of towns or villages, and are to serve for other purposes than those of a school proper, is still a cause of estimates running high, and of large profits being realized, though perhaps not acknow- ledged, by builders. If positive gain is not shown by the building accounts, yet its equivalent, imperfect workmanship, is the common rule; and upon no one subject are school managcrs more generally agreed than upon the bad manner in which the work is ordinarily executed. I do not mean to say that the builder is always to blame; very often the fault is with the school committee, who are bent upon having a showy building erected for a sum, with which the great essential of du- rability is hardly compatible. It is my firm conviction that in no respect are public and private educational funds so milch waisted as in the injudicious erection of school buildings. (8.) Industrial schools, and schools of art, with very rare exceptions, continue to be dead failures in Wales, without much prospect of anything to the contrary, under existing regulations. (9.) The education of the sea-faring class, of the young sailor boy, of the adult seaman, the coasting sailor ashore every winter,—on whose moral as well :is physical well- being so many national interests depend,—is still neg- lected in Wales by public bodies and public men. In lone of the most thriving of the second-class ports navi- gation is still taught by a woman after 25 years' practice, and now that declining health and age impair her use- fulness, her daughter is succeeding to her post, bcc(wse there is no man in thc town competent e?fitt it. In an- other of a similar character, the only navigation teacher is an old man, but a clever one, who keeps a small inn Taking the Welsh coast all round, there are not less than 500 men and boys ashore for three or four months every winter, seeking instruction, and willing to pay for it; but no public body or society has as yet contributed anything towards securing them the means of instruc- tion and they are compelled to fall back on the ordinary parochial schools, in which, though their presence thwarts the usual arrangements, their general steadiness and good example are worthy of all praise. (10.) It is my earnest hope that the three common requisites of secular [instruction,—reading, writing and arichmetic,—are now receiving more attention than hitherto. Those classes in school, which the master or mistress teach personally, are more or less well attended to in these respects; but the other cla.qses,-gèncrally including the lower om»,—which are to an apprentice or to "one of the children from the first elass (a phrase of too common occurrence), are for the most part taught these things badly. Speaking broadly, a thorough revo- lution is required in this rcspect throughout the length and breadth of the land. I see symptraos of improve- ment certainly, but I greatly wish to witness them more universally. (11.) The young men coming fresh from training schools, no matter of what locality and repute, nor of what kind of certificate (for this seems to make little difference in the practice of teaching,) are still often found to be very raw and awkward at their work. Lads whom I have known as excellent apprentices, seem, on emerg- ing from their training schools, to have lost no small portion of their skill as instructors; they have improved their own personal knowledge very probably, but their powers of communication do not seem to have received a proportionate increase. After much deliberation I have come to the conclusion, within my own mind, that two ysars' probation is not a sufficient period after which a certificate of merit should be granted; and I conceive that not less than fire year" proof of activity and judg- ment, iu the practical working of a school, should entltle a teacher to any recognition of merit on the part of the Committee of Council. Concurrently, however, with this I am also convinced that the period of five years for the apprenticeship does not work well; and I believe that many experienced and practical school managers would prefer a probationary period of two years' moni- torship, and then one of three years' apprenticeship, to begin at a time when the young teacher's capabilities may have been tested, and his inclinations more decid- edly ascertained. The system of assistant teachers always works well, I am inclined to think. I always liear it well spoken of, and, were I allowed to make any recommendation of the kind, I should say that, with regard to the formation of the future teacher, it is much more important that he should go through his period as an assistant, than that he should gain a Queen's scholar- ship, of whatever cla., or go to a training college, how- ever fashionable. (12.) School managers have received with gladness the new and improved schoal-Wks which have lately been put forth by Yoxiouft societies and by some enterprizing nuUiahers! A great amelioration has taken place inthi* puUí,hers. A grea; amellOraÙon 118 ken paè thÍli re?pe? %nd tthhe e nprroo^ crress of education is most intiN?J? coune?-?d ?with P??? .?y <?tw!e « t-h<t ? c<? man, exceJ1ent  ,?dypub&hed, ?. ;a bevond the means of poor country ?h-la but if I)iali?v a"ers could mtr?uce a system o?conv?er?tm?? g ?? il he actual property of the ,tnd their parentB, ??r c?«t? pecuniary rM?.<-«?, this difficulty would be greatly Perhaps I shaH not be considered as going out of tny way to observe that, whereas the adapting of arithme- tical knowledge to the common practice of life is of essential importance in all schools, it would be a desirabw thing and one easy to effect, for every school to be fur- nished, as a sine qua non, with a set of common weights and measures, a pair of large scales, a wooden bushe), quart, and pint, a two-foot rule for boys, a draper's yard for girls a long stick, cut out of the coppice of some kindly disposed squire, and measured off as the rod, pole, or perch;" a common rope, with knots in it at six feet distance, to show that a sailor can stretch his arms out thus far, and so measure a fathom these ordinary articles, which might certainly be bought for tOs., would, in the hands of a judicious master, teach more practical arithmetic than Walkingham and all the Tutors." In the same way, if cheap diagrams, cheap tables, and cheap maps, of various kinds,—I mean at the cost of a few pence per yard,-eotild be manufactured as papers for hanging the walls of schools, like those of rooms, a. very effective set of educational appliances might find their way into almost all schools. But I observe that the great publishing societies and publishing houses are singularly defective in their stock of these things; or, if they manufacture them, they are of a kind more suited to the means and requirements of "academies" for young gentlemen and ladies, than for those of parochial schools. for the labouring classes. (13.) It is almost a truism, but it is one which increas. ing experience daily brings to my mind with greater force, that a good manager, a good teacher, a good school, and public support are all co-ordinate elements- of the education question. When the same favourable- quality can be assigned to the three first, the fourth is an universal consequence. If the manager bUs in his duty towards the teacher and the school, the one has his efficiency impaired and the other dwindles away. Where- as, if the first two act together with unity of purpose, judgment, and constancy, the third flourishes, and the public soon testify their substantial approbation. School- keeping always has been, and always will be, a work of much labour, both of body and mind; but the labour brings its reward, inasmuch at its fruits soon testify that it is not thrown away, and also because the steady per- formance of a public duty is in itself a high privilege and honour. It may not be recompensed by wealth, nor even by gain; but it is repaid in a form more enduring than any money yet coined. Oil the other hand, the future provision for aged teachers is a most important subject, which I am afraid many friends of education are willing to keep out of sight. They are afraid to approach any discussion of it, for they know its difficulty; and yet it is one that a few years must bring home to them very forcibly. I would venture to allude once more to what I mentioned in my last report, as the conviction of some thoughtful school managers, as well as my own; that all funds for con- ducting parochial schools should be organized upon a plan, that should admit of the formation of a pension fund for aged or disabled teachers. I believe the thing to be altogether practicable, and easily within the limits of possibility; but I content myself with thus briefly alluding to it, because it does not concern me in the dis- charge of my duties to point out in what way managers and teaehers should regulate their mutual engagements. It is a branch of the general question that cannot be ignored altogether; it is certain to attract public notice before long; and I consider it myself as one of the most important to which the friends of educational progress can now turn their attention. b (14.) Two or three cases have occurred in my district during the past year, as well as several in former ones, showing that the interpretation of the )[j¡¡u,es of the Committee of Council is not only sometimes misunder- stood by managers and. teachers, but is liable to misap- prehension even by parties aetmg with the intention of conforming to them. These circumstances, therefore, lead me to make one further remark to the effect that managers and teachers would always do well to write to the office before taking any step involving the possibility of doubt. The publication of a Code in 1860 was felt to be of no small use in making the official regulations more generally known. I have the honor to be. &e. H. LONGUEVILLE JONES.

? MANCHESTER. THE CAMBRIAN SOCIETV.—Tlie members of the above fh.nrishing society, with their friends, among whom were a goodly number of the daughters of Cam&a, heM their annual pic nic on Saturday last. They proceeded from Manchester in a special omnibus to Taltun Park, near Knutaford, Cheshire, the seat of Lord Egerton, where a pleasant ramble was anticipated, but in conse- quence of the unsettled state of the weather the party were compelled to adjourn to a neighbouriug hotel, where a sumptuous dinner had been previously prepared for them. After doing ample justice to the good things laid before them a very pleasant evening was spent in Iv r- mony, and some very good peniliion singing, recitation .s &c., took place. Amongst others present were Mr. W. J. Lewis, president of the society, aud Mrs. Lewis Mr. Williams (Creuddynfab). vice president; Mr. Ellis Jones, treasurer; Mr. Morris Jones, secretary, and Mrs. Jones; Mr. Lewis Hartley, Mr. Hughes (Ceiriog) and Mrs. Hughes, 4r.

Mr. Mallinson, Miss Pritchard, lIliss Williams, Miss Wright, Mrs. Atkins, &c. The party returned to Manchester about 11 30 p.m., highly delighted with the day's proceedings. LAYING THE FOUNDATION STOSE OP A WELSH INDEPEN- DENT CHAPEL.—The church and congregation of the Welsh Independent Church, in this city, have hitherto been without a suitable building specially devoted to the purposes of divine service; and for some time the Gros- venor-strcet Temperance Hall has been used by this body of Christians for religious worship. Through the energy and exertions of the, Rev. T. Evans, the paster, and some of the leading members, a movement was recently made, with a view to the provision of a chapel, and so fai? it has been ;ti:I: tithrO;t a.lif:l :l:tà hf Booth-street East, Upper Brook-street; and on Saturday afternoon Sir James Watts laid the foundation stone, in the presence of al-arge congregation.

The estimated outlay for the chapel, which it was intended should accommodate a congregation of 500, was from £1, 800 to €2,000—€1,300 for the chapel, and about £400 for the schools.

THE MIDDLE LEVEL.-The process of filling up th^ great breach in the bank of the drain through which the tidal waters poured so irresistibly a few weeks since has been proceeded with during the last few days; but up to Saturday the task had not been completed, the PI) bemg so wide and deep that an immense quantity of material will be required to be deposited to make good the damage sustained. The drain has been closed at oiio end by the recently constructed dam, and at the other by two "shMkers;" at the aqueduct, the flow of water upon the long-flooded lands has been stopped, and means are now in progress for running off the tlood. I u wldi-, tion to the opening of the Marshland, Smeath, and Fln sluice, two channels have been cut in the gravel bank between that drain and the adjoining Marshland drain. Thefie measures have had the etieet of reducing the watery waste which has so long beeu an object of anx- iety; and the next step, when once the floods have been subdued, will of course be to biing the drowned land again tnto cultivation.
