SATURDAY IROR lta, Tiiirrin's -1.5.. - ruacs,—During the last week, our citizens have seen favored with two lec tures from Mr. 3. Oivill- Taylor, of New York, on the subject of I;unimon chool Education. We at tended both lectures,lintbwas alike pleased with Mr. layl les manner and natter. Mr. Tayfoie style of delivery might he iintated by twiny public spa-is la ken w i t h muc h effect : 'imple, familiar at dcnlloqui el. He addresses hims' If directly to the hearts as Well as th e minis of is hearers ; end his earnest ness soon. convinces his minors of his sincerity. As he warms with his sob ref, ho throws aside What inure would, deem th dry det lila of "facts and •Ogures," and creates at enthinits2qm where indiffer ence before ' existed. - 1 - If we are not rnista 'en, the reformatico which Mr. Taylor seeks to e ect in the,prisent syston of common school cducati n, is simple; and can be ac complished without much effort. He is in favor of Making the Common lchools the only eleMentary schools in the country; and to those schools he 'vvoulikhave the childreo of the rich srnt as well as ,the children of the' pont. Private academies and se minaries, wheie the higher branches are taught, he believes are absolutely necessary ; but, as ho justly observes, in education as in building, the foundation 'must be firmly, thoro u ghly laid, Wore an attempt is made to add the sup erstructure. Our limits this weels. will not permit us to give a ;detailed account of the system of education which I •Itir. Taylor so strongl7 and ntil) advocates—of his views in relation to the mode of imparting instruc tion—Snd the necessity of selecting only such per sons for teachers as are competent, and who take a pride and a pleaseric ii their profession. It is 'admitted by;ail !who have bestowed a thought • npon the subject, that Ithe present system of educe ; Con. both in public and private schools, is laelenta lily deficient and loudtti calls for reform. Something must be done, and speedily done. Thousands of boys are annually' lctjluose from school, to float OT sink in the erow4dend 'dangerous current of life, with minds impale , tiy developed, and ideas crude and without shape or i'orn. They have been cram , met", with the usual qu'anfity of gloomier, geography, i arithmetic, rhetorie, philosophy, chemistry, kc., &c., Init they do not 'know in' what way to ,dispose of their stock in trade; fr they have nevec been taught how tr make a prim/i l ea/ use of their acquirement,;. And yet what important parts there boys are destin ed to ploy in the gre4t drama of life. Too little attention paid by parents and teach , era to the art—for it its an art—of writing will and ' speaking well; of being dble to express one's ideas in goad language, and with Orspecyity and force. We sae, ourself, acquainted with more than one gradu ate of the eastern colleges, who can neither write With ease nor propri e ty, and who cannot converse nu thdimost ordinary l topics without violating some sale of Lindley Murray's at every breath.

You certainly think. sir, jadging from the very srtpres sire notice you had the coufage t" give it, that it was written at the instigation or desire of one of the parties- Now, rest assured that the author of that article When he penned it, felt an interest in the matter commenstr sate, only, with that which you, I hope, and the rest oT The community feel ; and although he would willingly sacrifice •a sum quadruple the cost of the ..advertise ment." rather than have such-an obloquy as that prose cotton resting , on his neighborhood; he scorns the idea of bribing a mercenary ed tor to promulgate that which it is his duty to make public, or ministering to the cupid ity of any source thar Jte may float down its channel an honest and praiseworthy sentiment I hereby enclose a sufficient sum fo pay for one insertion of this as an " advertisement." The,aborve is a beautiful communication, and cal. calmed to cover us with shame and confusion. The best prrt in it was a lnote on a Reading Bank. ?or that, , •Miles'' is entitled to cur warmest thanks. Seriously speaking, the above communication is worthy of notice and explanatien. Let us com mence at the commencement, and unravel "Mi " dark 'ant; mysterious insinuations, to the satisfaction of the reader. Some few (bye since, we received a lengthy epistle from " Miles," in Tektion to Coro net Murphy's case, which we refused to publish, ex cept as on advertiscnient, and excepthhat advertise ment was paid for. We had no idea of permitting our reading columns to be , filled with letters, state ments, and counter statements, of no interest to the public, and OJI matters, too, in which our readers cannot be supposed to have part, lot, or concern. We believe we hest consult the interests and wish es of all our readers by giving them the current news of the day, and diveussing the most prominent questions which may from time to time agitate the public mind, in the place of surfeiting them with brig winded communications, remarkable only for their had grammar. We may be mistaken, howev er ; and it is possible that the Tariff or Bank ques tions, and even the interests of this great coal region, are as a feather in th?balance, compared with the stake which our citizens have in the result of a militia subaltern's Court Martial. The importance which many people attach to their personal affairs always put us in mind of an anecdote of a London tailor. There had been a strike" for higher wages among the tailors of that meridian, and, of course; considebble• excitement was the consequence. A [mass riaeetirrg of the fra ternity was held, when themameless individual above alluded to was called upon for a speech. He com plied, and his first exclamation is Vconliy . of obser vation and prese6ation: Gentlemen tailors! The eyes•of Euro):ie are upon youl" - r• Mike" dollar will be returned to him by ap. plying for the same at our office. The recovery of the money may possibly console him for the gentle reproof which he has'received at our hands. NEW FEBLICATIONS.—Wo have received the "Young p eo p!e's Book" for November.

Courier and Inquirer of Wednesday morning last : An accident of the most deplorable and melancholy nature, causing the death of a young and beautiful fe male, occurred in the upper pan of the city yesterday morning. Mr. Noble, a master mason on the Croton Worlo, residing in Eighty-sixth street, having heard that persons had threatened to attack his house, has tecently been in the habit of keeping loaded pistols in readiness in ease of such an event. Yesterday morning some friends called to see him, and these pistols were lying on a chair, and one of the gentlemen without perceiv ing them sat upon them: but at the request of Mr. Noble, who said they were loaded, immediately got up. and Mr. N. took one of them up to shew it and raise. l . the ham mer. White in this position his finger slipped, and the hammer coming down upon the cap, which remained in the socket, the charge exploded, and horrible to state. the ball with which the 0ml:A was loaded struck his daughter, .lane Noble, 'who was standing two or three yards off, in the right side of tfie head, passing through the brain and causing instant death. The unrortunate young lady was about twenty two years °r age, and was as universally beloved, as her untimely end will bede plored. The wretched father is in a state of phrenty, and it is very questionable if he ever recovers his rea son. An inetiest was held upon the body of the deceased, and the Jun returned a verdict that the deceased - came to her death by the accidental discharge ofa loaded pis ml in the h ands of her father.
