Kerinement succeeded barbarity, and the
cultivation of literature and the line arts,
that cnoble and adorn human nature,
every where prevailed. In these arts
the youth of Greece were instructed.—
Such was the education of the Grecian
poets, orators and philosophers, who,
by their writings, have left to succeeding
a gps only the power of admiring what
they cannot equal.
To illustrate any farther the impor
tance of early Education is unnecessary.
It must be evident to all, that, it there

susceptible of improvement, and upon
the management ot \vliicli our fiture hap

virtue and morality ate to be inculcated.
Thu word of God is to be explained, and
his commands enforced ; lor he who
neglects them in youth, will disbelieve
them in eld age. ' If this period of our

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
We are indebted to Cnpt. Kick, of the
Bhip .Yaptune, ariived yesterday, in 4 t days
from Greenock, for London papers the ICtli
of August, Edinburgh to the 17th, both in-
clusiie, and Glasgow ot the 17th.
The principal items of intelligence are
the death of the Marquis of Londondarry,
and the arrival and reception of the King in
Edinburgh.
The Marquis of Londonderry towards
the. close of business ill Parliament, began
to manifest a depression of spirits arid men
tal alienation. Some parts of bis conduct
bad been, remarked as inconsistent and un
usual, but nothing fatal had anticipat
ed. On the Bill of August, however, he
waited upon the King to take leave previ
ous to his Majesty’s departure for Scotland,
and exhibited such a change in his dre;
and deportment as to give serious alarm.
The L)uke of Wellington soon afh r wrote
to Or. llankhead, stating that his lordship
having been harassed and overworked him
self, during the late session of Parliament,
was in a stale of mental delirium. Dr. H
attended from that lime until the morning
of the 17th of August, w hen his Lordship,
being left alone in his dressing-room, after
Sending for Dr. I!, cut the artery in the
neck with a small pocket-knife, and full in
to the arms of the physician, w ho, at the
moment, was entering tile door. The ver
dict of the Coroner’s Jury was insanity
His Lordship appeared to labour during
his lunacy, under the fear of an attack upon
his life—and so effectually struck the knife
into the artery, in his neck, as to extingui
life in the space of a minute after—in w hich
time two quarts of blood doivcd from the
wound.
No c ange in the ministry had vet hi
made in consequence of the death of the
Alirquis. It was expected that Sir Charles
Stewart would he recalled from his embus
sy io France, and be placed, for tho time
at least, at the bead of the foreign depart
ail armed brig. Iielung to tiiat Power, io
rd not only on the release of lour Austii.tn
vessels, which had been d"laiued by the
blockading squadron, hut that they should
enter the Gulpli, and receive indemnity for
iuss of time.
The last advices which had been received
from Constantinople confirmed the appoint
ment of llospodiirs fur Moldavia and Wal-
lachia, and their evacuation by the Turk
ish troops.
•/Vie Marquis of Londonderry.—The late
Marquis of Loodomlery attended the Fo
reign Office on Friday morning, and even
early in the day, as at noun, lie display-
some svmptom of approaching insanity ,
called 'about that lime at lilt Hrtisll Col-
House, Cockspur street and inquired Tor
Sir Edmund Nagle. On being informed by
(tie proprietor, Mr. Element, who was acci
dentally standing at the door, that he was
not there, his Lordship with much emotion,
struck his hands together, and very sharply
desired that some of the other waiters
tumid he c died, by whom being assured
th.it Sir E. Nagle was not there, he walked
away much agitated. His Lordship’s con
duct appeared very singular and excited
particular attention in the street.
The Marquis of Londonderry was ap
pointed Keeper of tire Signet, or Privy Seal
of Ireland, July 25, I7D7 ; one of the Lords
of the Treasury of Inland, Oct. 1 I, I7B7 ;

' tltnrgtlou n, Sejit. £!).— My feelings, nt
this moment, w ill nut admit of a full detail
of out sufferings here on the night before
the last, lean only say, that I never ex-,
perienced any tiling like it before.—How-
ver, 1 have the satisfaction to say no mem
ber of o'ir family has been injured. Mr.
Robert lleriot’s house was almost crushed
to atoms before they felt it ; the root’and
the whole of the piazza, on Ihecast side,
was carried away, and was before morning
perfect wreck. Olliers suffered equally.
But, great God ; what is that in comparison
to the fate of others !—As soon as llie day
dawned, on my looking around just in our
neighborhood, I saw three houses prostrate,
and four completely carried away—not a
hoard left to mark the spot on which they
stood. Three of the houses were inhabited,
and not a soul left to tell the tale of their
sad fate, except poor .Mr. Withers—every
branch ot Ids family, including his nephew
Mr. Withers Shackelford, and Mr. Wish, a
carpenter, have perished. Every individu
al, black or white, making 15 in number, uf
Dr. Myers’ ft*inily, have been consigned to
a watery grave. Thirty souls must have
perished in these two large families, besides
at least tenor a dozen more.—Old Mrs.
Botsford was drowned at Mr. Fort’s house
in her lied, together with her maid, who
slept under her bed, and a girl of Mrs. Sar-
Zfidas, railed Bella, with her child—all in
Mrs. B.’s room, where the latter had gone
for security.—At day light the next loom
ing, the scene was truly awful ; scarcely a
dwelling house but what lias been injured.
Thu houses of the Rev. Mr. Lance, that of
Mrs. Myers and Mr. Porter are not teoaot-
able; many that are not entirely carried
sway, are not worth repairing. Mr. Robert
Taylor's house, strongly built, was thrown
some distance from the blocks, and the
greater part swept.—Not a shingle of llie
church to Ire found, and the whole face of
the ground so completely' changed, that
there is no trace where it stood. Mr.
Thomas lleriot’s house, near the Church,
shared the same fate—lie was fortunately
in town, or he must have suffered, as lie
was on a range with those who did. Mr.
Joseph had a narrow escape with his fami
ly—they had just left their house, and re
treated to the kitchen, when it fell. There
is scarcely a boat left upon the island, near
ly all having been washed away.”
“ Georgetown, Monday, Sept. 30.— At the
Inlet, Mr. Robert F. Withers’ house was en
tirely swept away, and not an individual
tint himself saved. Mr. Withers Shackel
ford and Mr. Wish (a carpenter) were with
him at the time, and are lost. Dr. Myers’
family and himself are all lost—his house
