' J ohn Shear ers was in Paris at the commencement of the Revolution, and was introduced to her. tShe was an extraordinary creature ; wild, imperi ous, and fantastic hr her patriotic paroxysm ; but in her natural intervals, a beautiful and fascinating woman. He became deeply ena moured of her, and not the less for the po litical enthusiasm .that would have repelled another.' I have heard that he assisted in ther uniform of anaflonatgaardi ip the storm ing of the Bastile.and that he encountered the peril as a jneaqs.'.o7recdmme.nUIng:.h).dseIf to the object of his admiration. he returned the sentiment, but she would not listen to his suit. Whenhe tendered a proposal of mar riage, the produced a pistol and threatened to lay him dead if he rene wed the subject. This I ha4-from himseif. But this rigour did not extinguish his passion. He returned to Ireland full of her ; image, and, 1 - suspect, not witnout a nope mat me success of tne fatal enterprise in which he embarked might prpcure him, at a luture day, a more tavour- able. hearing ; hut of this and 'all his other hopes you see" ('pointing to his remains) 44 the lamentable issue." I asked whether his mistre had heard his fate,' and. how she bore it.

I Shearers.'Vhe continued flung himself in- . ; . , r i " i to the revolutionary cause from principle and temperament ; but Henry wanted the ener- gy of a conspirator: aqd of this he was fore- warned bv an incident that I knew to have' I occurred. ; Shortly after he had taken the oath of an United Irishman, (it was towards the closeof the year 179) he was present5 at the election for the Civy of Dubhu .a jriot tooJc place t tie,h inter- red, ana uie neopie neu in contusion : :3.i tradesman; who resided in the vicinity,. hear-. ing the shouts,. hastily moved towards Uie, interrogator": could obtain an' Intelligible ac- coantof tbe cause and extent of the danger, As soon as he had ascertained the fact, he fixed bis eye on Shearers and said, Mr Shearess,! know more of some matters than you may be aware of : take a friend's advice, and have nd more to do with politics ; yon have not nerves, Si-for the business you have ensued In. But the infatuation i of the c o times and the influence of his brothers char-1 actelr and j 'example, prevailed. When the j catastrophe came, John Shearers felt, when too late, that he should have offered the same advice. The reflection embittered his last moments. It also called forth some gener- bus traits that deserve, to be remembered. His appeal it the 'Court in Behalf of his brother, as giveta in the report of the trial, is a model of natural pathos ; but I know of nothing more pathetic in conduct than a pre- vious ecer.e, which Cujran once described to me as he had witnessed it. When Curran visited them in prison to receive instructions for their defence,-John Shearers rushed for- ward, and embracing his knees, implored him: to .intercede for Henry ; .for himself, hej uuereu iu neauguiuv, auu 10 uic aw au iiuur . . 1 11 .w . u 1 :.i ,l. notice 1 to reveal all that he kne w w ith the exception or names ; to do any thing that might be fairly required o( him, ' provided the government would consent to spare his. cr i i 1 " j ed to plead gdiity; and to die at an hour's brother, -j ;i FOR' ALE AT 'THE RALEIGH REGISTER ET M - - - V AUD NOKTH-CAEOUN A -GAZETTXS OFJFICJB. pile fits of Courts, Attorneys j She- ii : " -. . . iiormeo, inai - largu uuumuu ums "ecu uaw the assortmait of sH.AWKS usually kept for sale at this Office ; arid that all Orders for any of the fol lowing kinds, will W promptly attended to : ; T ; 'f Supekor Court 'WanMf7; j: Writs, Execution v Jury 'and ylfitness Tickets, Pros ecution Bonds; Ca $as;lndlctments, Venditioni Ex- lnB3t Capias', 8ci;Fa's. to-revite Judgment,!

' Vh - The Institution' offers to Parents and Guardians an opportunity of placing their Children and Wards tin der the care of s Physician, whose, whole time is de voted to the School, at an age when errors in diet and regimen often lay the foundation of disease and. de bility for life. A knowledge of the human frame and constitution, and of the laws of health, seems indis- pensable to those who are entrusted with the' mental, and moral training of youth,, to whom too much or loo little exposure, excessive ot deficient bo dily, or mental labor, are alike productive of eviL For want of this knowledge j the child bora with a fee ble constitution is ofteri unnecessarily doomed io phy sical weakness for lifeand many are made to experi ence in hypochondria and insanity the evils of over tasking the Drain in childhood. The Institution of fen also another advantage, in the opportunity given of secluding lads from promiscuous intercourse with others, and from the influence of older boys; while it gives to them all the advantages of an education in a community of equals. "The plan of tbe School is to secure, first, as most important,' perfect accuracy of recitation in all cases admitting of it full opportuni ty for every Pupil to vmake such progress as he may be able, without regard to that of others, and,' only in entire subordination to these two objects the advanla gesof study in classes. It is believed that by a pro peharrangement, the latter may be to some extent cured without detriment to the former. ;The ordina ry mode of measuring merit by the degree of approach toward accuracy, while, the Siudentis forced through an author at a given ras, puts an end to thapteaiare and. uUlity of knowledge, and to certainty, its very es sence. A person educated1 under such a system, knows very litUe." His assertions may be generally correct, but if not admitted immediately by others, he begins himself to question their truth. 'The Pupil is said, after a certain time, to be fit for a College or a Couufing-housc, but is found unfit to enter either, or obtains admission only to drag along nnderthe fcur den of past inaccuracies. The svatenV adopted in the Famiit Scaoot has been tested. during an expe& rience o several yars, wun enure succbss, even in the case of some whose habiU.Were forrned under ut ferent instruction. The English, CIassical'..SciebtiEdJ and Mathematical branches, are taught solelv bv the Principal, who ia thus enabled -16 seeare unifprmity or teaching aSd uiscrpline asd sSTar as possible, to guard against exacting too much or: tfjoi-Jittle, labor from any pupil. One greatj object aimed, tat, is to give a knowledge 01 principles, anq toe power of sp plying them ; and the test of merit is the. ability to produce the results, and not the mere repetition .of a role," or the exhibition of a solution, effected partly by chance, it may be, and partly by the akl of Otlters.--i- Occasional pedestrian excorsiops will be made into the country, in the company of the Principal. The location of the School, at the bead of the New Haven Bay, is health v and delightful, combining every faci I- iiy ior exercise mnu sate c uaming, m a suicaoie distance from the noise arid temptation of a City; at the same time that its proximity to Yale .College ena bles the. Principal to secure the aid of eminent Teach ers for the Modern Languages, ' and the more orna mental branches of Education. Address, . " .' WILLIAM H. RUSSELL, il. D. R RrsBKcis.
