An Educator. Contributions To The Cause ...
™ mftothe " Principles of Elementary Teaching" and the « Causes and StaSftheub ? ect . Wcanno ^ enter here into ! question of such magnitudfand importance as the best method of imparting instruction to youth ; but it does Tern strange that so little care is taken to simplify terms and egressions and render an idea comprehensible to the intelligence of a lad . We are glad to find that much improvement has latterly taken place in rtedScipfine of all classes of schools , and that books suitable to all ages have been written by eminent philosophers and adopted by teachers . Another granS epoch ^ is the substitution of encouragement rather than coercion of rewards instead of corporal chastisement , in the work of Sition " There ' s no help for it , " said ^ Sydney Smith to a young lady who complained to him that she had done everything in her power to gam the friSSship of a person she admired ; " you cannot compe a person to loye you by holding aloaded pistol to his head . " Learning , like love , is not to be wi ^ comnTemufe U vofume of Mr . Pillans to those who wish to have the oninions of a learned and sound advocate of one of the most pressing quests of theday . For the last five-and-forty years he has exhibited an interest , and a liberal interest , we may say , n the cause of ^ . uca £°£ / - ^ battle however , is not yet over . Sectarian jeS 6 usies still obstruct its healthy development . It remains , however , for Mr ri ans , his coadjutors nnd successors' to say how long party feeling and ^ TnatTonSDies * allowed to deprive the country of what all admit would be a national blessino- but which , as things exist , is a national disgrace . fir PilTans ' s essays include some criticisms on the ancient writers winch arfthe least interesting parts of the volume . It is as a theoretical disciplfnarian , a teacher of teachers in the government schools , a practised exponent of the modern educational system which he aided in founding that Ee will be valued . As a critic of orators and poets he never attained any eminence ; but among thoroughly sincere and vigorous Reformers , in the department of public and private education , it will always be said—Pillans ¦ w as one .

Obituary Of 1855. The Annual Biography A...
OBITUARY OF 1855 . The Annual Biography and Obituary for 1855 . By E . Walford , M . A . Hardwicke . The desieni of this Annual is to afford brief biographical accounts of all the persons celebrated , notable , or well-connected , who died in \ 8 oo . As might nave been expected , some of the records are superfluous , others needlessly amplified : but , upon the whole , the volume represents an excellent idea , satisfactorily can-fed out . Several of the biographical sketches are really well written , and of more than ephemeral value .
Natural Religion. La Religion Naturdle. ...
NATURAL RELIGION . La Religion Naturdle . Par Jules Simon . Paris : 185 G - We have too long delayed to acknowledge , and we can now for the moment , do no more than acknowledge , the excellent work of M . Jules Simon , La Religion Naturelle . We have read this book with deep interest , and can assure our readers that it treats of those questions which are most important to humanity in a spirit of true philosophy , and in a manner at once profound and clear . We can sincerely recommend it to all , who , amidst the general conflict and decadence of positive religions , desire to find a rational foundation for their faith .

dityJUA IRfiHUJILTtyJIiMl & M & M \ Hi ' a BBPLT TO * Ill-fated Lady ! Orphan of slain Love ! Hope's epitaph seems musicked in thy verse ; And , cypress-crowned , thy weeping numbers more , Mourners behind dead Passion ' s plumed hearse . So young—so fair—so exquisitely framed Life ' s dearest , deepest happiness to prove—So eager some fond heart to dower , unblamed , With all the lavished treasures of thy love—Alas ! in vain . For thee may never more Life ' s twin effusion feed love ' s trembling fire ; Nor two souls , mingling , through warm pulses pour Swift immortality ' s fulfilled desire . For , link by link , hath tangled circumstance Wound cruel chains round thy defenceless youth ; And sadly hast thou found , as years advance , Man ' s love prove falsehood—Woman ' s hatred truth Yet is thy heart too delicately proud To tell the story of thy love ' s decay . Despair is mute . Hope ' s cry alone is loud . Mere trembling tones our cureless wounds betray . So best . Shut out from bliss on earth below , Thy starry eyes turn tearfully to heaven ; And thy frail hand is pointed up to show Where purer joys , for joys lost here , are given . " There , friend , " thou criest , " congenial souls at last Shall meet , to be divided never more ; And , floating free , all cold obstruction past , Mingle , in ceaseless love , their effluence pure . " There shall this heart , on earth so scorned and broken , Seek promised pity from the King of Heaven ; There shall , at last , the gracious words be spoken' Much hath she loved—much shall she be forgiven ! ' " ***** ~^~ These stanzas form part of a poem lately addressed , under circumstances of peculiar interest , to a Lady not less distinguished for her beauty than for ^ romantic vie ssitudes of her life . We publish them , as bearing on a subject of deep and permanent importance , to which the course of recent discussion has given especial prominence . —Ed .

_ v London , Friday Evoning , August 22 , 1850 . Tin' bad weather which has prevailed during tho week , has had a depressing effect on tho Stock and Share markets . Tho arrival of two largo Australian consignments of gold has been partly felt as a counterbalance , but tho immenso demand from tho Continent still continues . Tho Funds aro rather firmer than at the coinmoncoment of the week ; but there is only a small business doing . Yesterday thoro was a little moro activity in tho foreign stock market , and homo inquiry after Spanish Deferred Stock and Russian Fivo per Cent . Tho heavy railway shares are nearly tho samo ; tho Eastern Counties report has mado those shares flatter , and thoro have been considerable sales in Great Western stock this morning . In tho new undertakings thoro have boon some fluctuations in Rigas , but they nettled down to about 1 ft premium . Tho settlement in Eastern Bengal shares takes place to-day ; about ft premium is tho price . Oeylons are at about IS premium , very littlo doing in thorn . Great Western of Canada shares and bonds remain steady , but business is at a standstill . Grand Trunk of Canada still very much in ill favour . . ^ .
