near 1900 persons. j 
Some time past his Royal Highness the 
Duke of Kent visited Mr. Lancaster’s insti- 
tution, the Royal Free-school, Borough-read. 
The impression made on the benevolent 
mind of his Royal Highness was, that the 
leading parts of the plan would be highly 
serviceable for the poor children in his regi- 
ment; and on the spot he formed an ar- 
rangement for, extending its benefits to 200 
soldiers of his tattalion. Mr. L. instructed 
one of the duke’s non-commissioned oilicers 
in the system, and it was introduced twelve 
months ago at Malden, were the battalion

The cutting of the canal betwixt Clach- 
naharry and Lochness is now nearly com- 
pleted; and, as nothing remains to be done

At Crimond, in his 208th year, John 
Cowie, bellman. In bis youth he fought 
the battles of his country by sea and land, 
and was discharged as worn out in the year 
17393 but again took up arms in the memo- 
rable year of Culloden. As he advanced in 
life, a considerable variation was observed in 
the use which he had of his faculties. For 
some time he was under the necessity of 
using spectacles; end during the last few 
years of his life he could read the smallest 
print without them. When he was about 
seventy, having secured the affections of a 
woman who had some money, he thought 
himself too old or too rich for being bell- 
man. Another was appointed, who kept 
the office twenty-five years, at whose death 
Johnapplied to be reinstated. He discharged 
the dutics of the office till within ten days 
of his death; and in the exercise of it he re- 
covered the use of all his faculties, which 
had become much impaired during the period 
of his inactivity. He bad two daughters 
(twins) by his last wile.

Belfast. ‘The school-room is already built, 
and Mr. Lancaster is likely to be present at 
the opening of the school. When the eco- 
nomy of the plan comes to be known in Ire- 
land, there can be no doubt that country will 
be as greatly benefited by it as England has 
been. ¢
