Character of the Earl of UNKNWON—Clandestine without concealment—a frigid friend a mean enemy —stubborn without firmness, and ambitious without spirit. Ungenerous, without any extraordinary note of avarice, but rather so thro cell of head and heart. A pedlar in pontics 1 : honor* gratitude, dignity of sentiment, energy of sincerity, comprehensiveness of views, were not in him to inculcate. Obstinacy under the disguise of firmness j the royalty of repairing wrong by persisting in it. The preference of dark juggle, mystery,and low artifice, to the frank open spirit of government; the abundant sufficiency of the absence of great vices, to atone for tl)6 want of (rreat virtue's.—Anecdotes nnd Speeches of the'Earli'of Chatham, Vol. 1.

Are the fantastically attired children whomve *-- see " taking an airing" in, carriages in our parks, suf-* ficiemly and properly clad ? If these question* can/ be truly answered in the affirmative, then, and tta? J-W,, only, my rrmirks are needless. There con the parent mind no more baneful Idea than that of rendering children " hardv" by exposing them unnecessarily to cold, and by clothing; them inefficiently. I have known instances wherein parents, acting on this principle, have failed entirely in rearing their offspring. Does nature treat her projeny thus ? Does she not. first of all, insure the birth of her m oung only at a ki'.dly season, and then provide them with downy c warm nests, and assiduous protectors ? And we must imitate nature, if we would give to Britain a race cipable and worthy of maintaining her independence and hmour. The littld denizes of a nurspiy must n>t be subjec ed, without a carefully aborted coveni g, to the piercing and relentless east or nortb-eait vin ; they must not be permitted to imbibe the set da of thit dreadful scourge of this oiinate—• cuisumption—>n their walks for ex«roii# and health ; they must be tended, as the future lords of the earth, with jealous care and judicious zeal.
