An intelligent,discriminating public, need not surely to be told Hie advantages nccrueing from the establishment of well regulated Schools. education has at all times engaged the attention of the wise, and the good, the philanthropic, and the noble In pristime times.

The evidences left of Grecian learning, will las t as long as the world lasts The subject of education has ever engaged the attention of our legislators. To instil and perpetuate in the minds of the people the principles of Government, it is essential that the people should first learn the nature of those principles.

Their own children perhaps arc growing up in ignorance. We k now children are growing up in ignorance nt this place. They cannot learn. The little boy and girl must needs find instruction from the father or mother? There is no school'hcrc. No.? We arc absolutely nstiaincd to publish the fact. But it is the truth. It is strange that men of ample means are content to rear their children up in such ignorance. What good will money io tliotn in after life? Some time ago we beard a great deal said about a female academy. Where is it 1? Can no teacher be procured ? Or is money too scarce to trifle it away so unnecessarily ? How about tiic male academy ? There are a number of joung men who would rejoice to obtain situations as teachers; are funds so low that (lie meanness of the fathers must fall disastrously upon the heads of the innocent offspring ? l'ray let the matter be so?-n into.

Dear Sir, The beautiful residence ol John Appleton Haven at Fort Washington in this city, was entirely columned by fire on Saturday morning last. The most melancholy circumstance attending the destruc -f .1 ! nun <?i inn mngi.tliceot dwelling, is the I loss of throe of Mr. Haven's daughters, nil young Indies grown, who perished in the ruins.

Money is very scarce here, and the poor of Ne.v York are surtering dreadfully. A petition has been sent to the Ma . or and Council for their relief To give you some idea of the extreme want of those even who are able and willing to work ; on the occasion of the Mayor giving them work, the pulling down of old buildings in the burnt district, for which they would receive fl per day,a meeting of Die laborers was held, and u resolution was adopted, to the elfeet, that one man must no', work more than one day, thus to give a chance to the others. This resolution was adopted, although l.V) could be employed each day. This will show you how dillicult it is to procure work, and the great number seeking it.
