of one of the most fa-

self-destruction, has i

spirited proprietor is

character, with a view
to certain Sensation
Spectacles, to which we
are not at liberty more
fully to advert; but we
may say that they will
be of a highly classical
nature, and will, in the
most vivid manner re-
call the scenes in the
Roman Coliseum. We
congratulate the spirit-
ed proprietor, and hope
that he will be sup-
ported, as he deserves
to be, in this attempt
to gratify a humane

We trust we may presume that this Governess, although a daily one,

then just consider how easy is the work for it. Eor instance, teaching
French to an adult who cannot read : what can well be easier than such
a daily labour ? An hour a day would surely be quite ample to suffice
for it; and there would still be left so much as half-an-hour apiece for
English, and the Reading, and the Music, and the Singing. The only
danger seems to be that tne mind of the adult might somewhat be con-
fused by learning five lessons at once. But possibly the studies might
in some way be amalgamated: and as the multiplication table is some-

Murray’s grammar, and with early reading lessons both in English
