rir The Gazette seemed disposed reeler
make the Most of the ten lines of Foreign News, or
rather rumor of Foreign News, which it paraded in El
Second Edition on Wednesday. "While awaiting the
derails," the editor took occasion to give his readers a
very knowing dissertation on the nature and char tin
ter of the important events that, it was rumored, had
taken place in England. We have no disposition to
qeestion his right to make surmises as to the native
goer-ices cf the change of Miiristers in England, and
are willing to let hie prognostications pass for their
full value, But we were surprised at the mum rte
acquaii.tance lie pretends to I,toe with the character
and feelings of the individual membei • of the new
Nlirdstry. He talks of their feelingd and pecu'hiri
ith Si much ease and c3n6elen:e as if he hncw
all if theta intimately. "Lord Palmerston," he sit v,
"is a man of greater ability than Lord Aberdeen, the
retiring IA inistet—holder, more energetic, and withal
more unscrupulous,"
In some leading London journal, well acrputinted
with the two men, this might be taken fora valuab!'•
opinion, and we could not hut admire the ens_•, tlf
hand manner, in which 'it is expressed, if it
from such a quarter. But we confess that it 'looks
r i uite curious in the Pittsburgh Gazette, set down, us
t is, without (-potation or acknowledgiments. Bet
this is not all. The editors says, to regard to Ps.r
that "Prudence is his forte," acid of the Queen, Ihar
she is "a whig," 4-c.—althatich it is said in the Lore
doe Sun that "Sir Robert Peel's lir- of intended pr'li•
cy would have had her warm support."
Ail who may glance at the ' brief comment." of the
Gazette on these Important personages nod even•..,
cannot, we think, fail to he highly snared, if they
should not be greatly edified, and would conclude that
the writer, if he had cot "revelled in the halls" of the
great people he seem, to know so well, had at
least dwelt within sight of their palacrv. They could
scarcely realize the fact that he rattles 'la our own
country, even in our very midst, and that hhheito Le
was never suspected of very much acquaintance, with
Pitt, and PALNEACto,I and Lord JuliN RusarLc•
CWresponlience cf the "Morning Post."
Harriabures, Jan. 19, 1846
In the Senate, to-day, the bill to grant the Bshi
more and Ohio Raihoed Company right of way to
rittsbutgh, was reported by the Committee on Inter.
nal Improvement, w ith one or two unimportant
amendments, to which the friends cf the bit! did nn'
object. The same committee also rep o tted a bi:11",
the Sunbury and Frio liniioad. A se...ltoion wns
then passed rnaniznosily, instructirc rrr Senate and
requesting our Representatives in Curgreos to oppose
any change in the rates of pusitige.
A mrsrage was recleved from Governor norri-

In the Lfeit.,e, little was done, save the pre.enia , ilo
of petitions. At twelve o'clock, the morni,er, ~t - hot!.

resentatives, fur the purpose of eleclir c a St..te Trea
surer for the ensuing year. James It. SN,.wni rr,
Esq., the present incumbent, was czt a. The
whigs generally voted for Nen NIIIDIMPSWARTII,
Esq. of Union county.
Several petitions were presented in the House to
day, praying for the formation of a new county out of
parts of Allegheny, Butler and IN'estmcreland to be
called "Oregon."

It is not to be expected that the great body of the

Intimately connertell with the subject ofpronuncin
tioo is that of syllabication. Heretofore, all writers
of elementary bookies well as philologists, and gram
marians, have, in their systems of syllabication, had
strict regard to the euphony and ease of enunciation
of the words thus divided by them. Mr. Sanders, how
ever, in his attempt to adopt the system of division
of words agreeably to that of Dr. Webster, hoe disre
gtrdeceith ease of onuuciat iun, and euphony of sound;
thus collect-ive infect-ive pill tt, pull-et, plaint if
oppress•ive, cf e. 4.c., while submissive,
are thus incon.istently divided because there
are no such words as indict and sutoniss in the lan-
gunge. This inconsistent method ofayllebication will
not only lend to difficulty of enunciation, but to errors
in spelling•. Who ever beard the words cent•ai. prey

On the contiury all these difficulties and inconsisten
cies are avoided in Mr Cobb's series of books.
. The Classification of words in %Telling book may
justly be considered next in importance to those of Or
thography and Pronunciation: for however accurately
ouch individual word may be spelled and pronounced,
mil' the words having the same sound but of different
orthography, be promiscuously or indiscriminately in
termingled, greet embarrassment and perplexity will
ensue. fleece Mr Cobb, wbo seems fully to have
appreciated ibis, has, in the classification of the words
in hi. spelling book, so classed them that similarity of

which doubt, or uncertainty might arise as to the dif

SCHOOL BOOKS
The hooks of Mr. Lyman Cobb were last evening
adopted by the Board of Education. end directed to be
substituted for those now in use in the Common Schools
of this env, by a large vete. The meeting was speci
ally convened to make a final disposition of the clues
floe, and we congratulate the friends of our Common
School System on the result. It will be recollected
by the readers of the Advertiser, that at a meeting of
the Board of Education in October, by en expert man
agement of the previous qoestiou, the able report of
the School Committee was rejected, and the hooks of
Mr. Sanders were substituted for those of Mr. Cobb,
the then majority not permitting a discussion the mer
its of either series to be had. A little reflection on the
part of the many member., made the injustice of such
a course apparent, end led them to enter upon a more
careful and extended examination into the books of
both 'Authors, and the result was what we were 0006-
dent it would be, in such a .caseet tho superiority of
Cobb's series became manifest, and having at heart the
hest interests of Common School Education, they vie
ted for the berg books throwing aside every other con
sideratioe. Several of the members infevor of Cobb's
series, who were absent at the former meeting, were
in their seats last evening which helped to swell the
majority in :favor of Cobb's..
We regret.tesay,that when 'rime of Senders' friends
found that a large majority present were in favor of'
tho books of Mr. Cobb, they left the Board, and we
might lit gue from this, that their feelings were more
a , run cly enlisted in favor of the suttee- of the books they
'Advocated, then in the cease of education; especially es
1. ore than one ..f them had declared it to be his spin.
ion the books adopt-. 4 last evesiog were superior to
those of Senders. %Ve•hall not undertake to do this,
however, being willing to believethat they acted as they
thought for the best, altlinuea we cannot but think very
injudiciously.
We are pleased thnt the matter is finally disposed of
in es much as we ere fully cenvinoed, the result will
prove most beneficial to the cause of popular education
in phi. city.
From a full report of the proceedings of the Board
of Education, which appears in the Advertiser. we have
only room for the following ettracb
A resolution was then offered that the vote reject
ing the report of the Committee on School Books in
favor of adopting Cobb's series; of books in October
last, be reconsidered.
Tim question on the adoption of the resolution was
carried--lli• to 5. Almost four to one!
Mr Harris then moved the adoption of the report
of the Committee on School Books.
The question was put on the motion of Mt Harris
and carried; but with one or two dissenting votes.
Mn Marvin, to place the matter beyond dispute,
offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the spelling and reading books of
Lyman Cobb, be introduced into general use in the
Common Schools of ibis city, and all reaniutioos eon
flieiing with this resolution, be and they are hereby
repeal , 2,l.
The molutian was carried unonimously, or, ir
there was a dissentingsreter it was inaudible to us.
