Thomas Hooker. In the death of this excellent woman, society, as well as her family and the church with which she was connected, has sustained a severe and afflictive loss. In her youthful days, Mrs.

Hooker devoted herself to the service of Christ and it may be truly said that she was, through subsequent life, an ornament to that cause which she had thus early espoused. Her memory will long be held in grateful remembrance bv a numerous circle of friends, to whom TfMPKRANCE. The Executive Committee of the Springfield Temperance Association have caused fifteen hundred copies of the Circular addressed by ihe several State Societies to the people of the Untied States to be printed. It is their intention to have a copy furnished to every family in this town, hoping by this candid and plain appeal, to induce many, we could wish all, to cooperate in this work ofbenevolance. The plan has been attended with great success in many places, as appears from the accompanying statement of the Committee.

In the Senate of the United States on Tuesday last, a message was received from the President of the United Stales transmitting the annual report of the Director of the Mint, exhibiting the operations of that institution for the year 1831.

Nr.w Orleans- We notice in the late papers from New Orleans that the American theatre has been opened in that city on Sunday, and that an nnimated discussion is going on respecting Ihe propriety of the measure. One class of the writers take the ground that 'amusement, whether on Sunday or Saturday, or any other dny, is not contrary to religion or The other i-luss contend that it is contrary to the usages or Protestants that no where among Protestants or Europe or in the L'nited States, except New Orleans, is it open the theatre on Konday. a part or this class It is conceded that tbe French and Spaniards may without much sin or ioipmptwly kp hir ih-nire open in that city, because such is the custom ol their nation at borne. But the same is thought not to be proper for Americans, because they are descended from a stern and religious race of men. One writer remarks, 'The Sabbath is a day which has been set apart by the professors of Christianity for devotion-and solemnity and whatever moral lessons may be taught bv theatrical exhibitions, they are certainly averse to both." Another one says, 'I am willing too it should be so it the majority are in favor of IK, Ulll A Hmm lliv fiifij'Miij am mi oiuc.

I hat the state recognizes a power in no an to dispossess white persons, who have settled on any lands known as Indian Territory, not occupied by any Indian or Indians. Wa offer, snys the Register, as the most suitable com ment upon this extraordinary piece or legislation, the following extract from the Constitution of the State of Ala bama "This Convention, for nnd in bebalf ef the people in habiting this State, do ordain, agree, and declare, thai they lorever disclaim an rigni ana nuo to tne waste or unappropriated lands lying within this State and that tne same snail De, ana remain, at uie soie ana enure ais position of the United States." Schools. The Governor of Pennsylvania, in his last message to the Legislature, states the fact that that Dtate has 400,000 children between the ages of 5 and 15, and that more than 250,000 are now without schools. This startling ract has not been without its influence in that State. The Legislature took up this niatter, during their last term.

And many zealous advocates were found in that body, whose patriotism and public spirit and personal influence almost insure that something efficient will soon be done there in behalf of common schools, to make education cheap and general. In Virginia, the common school funj yields $45,000 annuallv sufficient to educate 15,000 yearly. But as the public statutes declare that the benefits of this fund Rhall be solely for the education of poor children, the whole system is well nigh paralyzed. For men will generally suffer their childrun to grow up in ignorance rather than be considered poor Much, therefoie, of this literary fund is rendered entirely useless and wasted. But I am persuaded that there is still a redeeming principle in the Virginia Legislature, which will awake, and place this whole matter on its proper foundation.

Ohio has a common school fund of $90,000. And the Legislature has set apart, for this purpose, one halt a mill on a dollar of nil the revenue of the State. And there are now 350,000 children receiving the full benefits ol this fund. I had the pleasure, recently, ot conversing on this subject with au aged gentleman, who framed the first system of common schools, which was devised in this State. He bas also been consulted in all tho alterations which have since taken place in that system.

Kentucky has no common school system. She has 148,000 children between the ages of 4 and 14, and only 32,000 of these are now at school i. e. less 1 in 4. I am glad to state, however, that there are a few literary and influential gentlemen there, who have, for some time past, been awake on this subject, have investigated their wants, and will take measures to supply them.

Louisiana tiasa yearly fund of which is applied exclusively to trie education of the poor. This will ever be an unpopular system in any State. And the object of the fund will never be answered till the children of ihe rich and the poor can be a.3iiciaied in the same school. It does not do well for thu State to make the in-viduous division of rich and poor. Alabama has 040 acres, or one section of land in each township, for the support of common schools, and 72 sections, or 46,000 acres ror the support of Colleges.

Mississipi has a literary fund or $29 ,000. But, as yet no system has been established by which this fund can be made useful to the State, Illinois has no common school system. Anil not more than I child in 14, between the ages of 4 and 16, are now at school. Indiana, Tennessee, MichiganTerritciry, Missouri, Arkansas Territory, and Florida, have no common school system.

Education in Frauck. Ono of our Paris correnpon-dentn, nn extract from whose letter we published Inst week, informs us, that a plun of general education lor the kingdom of France ia a subject immediately Co be brought before the Chambers and that several enlightened friends of general instruction founded on evangelical morality, are laboriously engaged in laying the fou da-lit. of si liberal system, which may secure, under the the liberty and happiness of that important country. They have experience enoueh of what instrcnw in Bcitmce ana itteVnttire a tone can do. The Semeuf," an able and truly Christian weekly paper printed in Paris, most powerfully urgu that the principles of the Gospel be made to enter extensively into the new plan of popular education and we observe with pleasure that the editor quotes examples from the United States, in corroboration of the importance of sound religious principle to a free country.

VVe translate the following passage, which is the conclusion of two numbers on Legislation. Whatever may be the result of the discussions in the Chambers, a Frenchman unable to read and write will probably be in a few years, a very rare thing." Instruction would doubtless prove a powerful instrument to every individual; but every instrument may become subservient to a good or a bad end, according to the will to which it is subject. It is therefore now, more than ever, that we ought to call the attention of France to the only regenerating power of the human will the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Without its divine influence no human passion is made to cease, unless overcome by another human passion. -JV.

On Friday night, a young coloured woman, employed as a servant in a family in Greenwich street, and of a sound and strong constitution, attended religious services in the evening, returned in perfect health, and went to bed about 11 o'clock. Early in the morninff she spoke to another female who slept in tbe same bed, and who inquired of her if she would get up, and she answered, yes. Alter waiting awhile the woman who slept with her returned to call her the second time, when she found her not only speechless, but apparently lifeless. A. physician waa immediately called, when he found her entirely dead.

Upon examination, it was discovered that she had got into bed with her corsets on, tight laced, which the physician declared to be the undoubted cause of this sudden and melancholy event.

19 That dreadful scourge, the cholera morbus, is making fearful ravages in this city, having in all probability been brought from Alexandria, where, by the last accounts, eight hundred persons were dying daily. Here it commenced in the Jew quarler, but is now disseminated all over the city, causing, in many instances, such sudden death, that there is no lime tu call in medical aid. The mortality occurs principally in the night, and few who are attacked survive.

she had become singularly endeared by her sweetness of temper, and her uniformly correct Christian deportment. Her many deeds of charitv to the oonr. her readiness to svmDathise with the sick and tbe afflicted, snd her persevering efforts to promote the cause of benevolent institutions, in which she took the lead for many years among tne laaies 01 in is place, will not be soon lorgottcri. Possessed of an enlightened understanding, cultivated by a habitual perusal of the scriptures of truth, she adorned the doctrine of God her Savior, by a practical exercise of art the Christian graces. With little in her character that ever met with censure, and so much that secured to her the approbation and esteem of all who knew her, she seemed to be insensible to her own attainments and virtues, and feelingly alive to her own deficiencies.

Deep humility was the prominent trait in her Christian character. A short time before her death, she remarked to a friend, who had spoken favorably of ber, you have all thought too well of me, I can say from very depths of my soul, I have been an unprofitable servant. Another thins worthy of notice in the life of Mrs. Hooker, waa a conscientious regard to all tbe requirements of the gospel. To know ber duty, as derived from the word of God, was a sufficient motive for its performance.

How delightful would be the theme to pourtray such a character, and yet how difficult tor in her various labors of love, in her many deeds of charity, she moved as much as possible in silence, unobserved by the world, literally obeying the injunction, Let not thy left hand know what thy ripht hand doeth." The removal of so bright a light may well be mourned by the church, of which she was a member and could those in its communion, whom sire has left behind, imitate her example, and so follow Christ, as we trast she did, they might hope, with ber, to meet the joyful greeting, Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

THE YOUIVG READER, to go with tbe Spelling Book The Introduction to the National Reader, for 3d Classes The tional Reader, and the American First Class Book. These four works, compiled by the Rev. John Pieepost, com--, pose a series which is undoubtedly more suitable for the purposes for which they were designed, than any previous publications and they are more popular among those who have the direction ot education than any ever published in this country, unless Murray's bs excepted. There is a decided advantage in possessing sets 01 -elementary books by the same author, who has pursued a similar plan with eacb, rising step by step, and who it is to be presumed would be better able to preserve the proper gradation of style and matter than several different individuals would. This will be found to be the ease in the present series and no matter, which appears in one, is inserted in either of the others, so that the our compilations may be, and are intended to be used in different cias-; sea in the same school, without compelling those in the lower classes to anticipate the labors or the pleasures of the higher, or requiring them, on being advanced to a higher, to read over and over nrrain nieces with which thev have become familiar in a lower class, as is frequently the case where works by different authors are used.

The following is an extract from an English paper (The London Examiner). The National Reader, or Selections, Ac. by John Pierpont, of Boston, re-edited by E. H. Barker, London, Whitaker, Teacher, Co.

To the learned Mr. Barker, of Thetford, the public are indebted for this judicious re- print of one of the very best school books in our language. It contains upward of two hundred ar- ranged and diversified articles in prose and verse, from the pens of the most celebrated writers, including a large number of American authors, almost wholly unknown to the English teacher, but whose great merits entitle them to the attentive perusal and studious imitation of every schoiar in the kingdom.

From the Education Reporter. This new work is intended to complete Mr. Pierpont's series, Arranged in the order in which the books are to be put into the hands of children, it stands thus The Young Reader, The Intro- duction to the National Reader, The National Reader, and The American First Class Book. We are much pleased with the Young Reader. It combines more excellencies than any book for young readers that we have seen.

The language is simple and intelligi- ble to children. The pieces are short, and divided into short paragraphs. The selections are chaste, and, without an exception, nf -good moral tendency. Some of the stories are made attractive, and at the same time impressed on the memory by means of prints. The other books by this author, help the pupil forward, by reg- ular and steady steps, in the art of reading, each successive work containing pieces more difficult than the former.

They have, and will continue to have, an elevated standing among their numerous competitors.

PERKiNS -fc MARVIN, No. 114, Washiicotoic Strict.

Bo- tou, have just published Jl JNetr Selection of Pnalms and Hymns, entitled CHURCH PSALMQDY, adapted to public, social, and family worship; containing above Four Hundred and Fifty musical pieces from tbe Psalms, and Seven Hundred and Thirty-one Hymns; about one-half of the former, and about two-fifths of the latter having been taken from Dr. Watts, and the re- 1 mainder from numerous other well known evangelical authors. The compilers have kept constantly in mind a distinction, which they suppose ought to be maintained in such a work, between por-. tions ot sacred poetry which are adapted to be read, and those which are adapted to be sung. The aim in this book has been to insert nothing which is not suitable for the latter pnnv.

pe.al -pains have, therefore, been taken to give all the pieces a lyncal character, and to adapt them to musical purposes by omitting, as far as practicable, narratives and didactic stanzas by making the same pieces of suitable length, by giving them unity, by introducing a great variety of subjects and metres, and by rendering the several stanzas regular as to structure, accent, and measure, also, by set ting Wines to eacn piece, winwi tiirj uw. uhij "HI" men general character and movement, but whose accent corresponds with the measure, emphasis, and pauses of tbe several stanzas, and by indicating the manner of the performance by a system of musical expression and an appropriate punctuation. In making tbe selection, special regard has been had to the present circumstances of the church at this peiod of revivals and of reli- -gious benevolent- institutions and labors. On subjects connected with these, and in Hvmns appropriate to various important occasions, it is believed that this book ia far more copious than any one now in use. Room bas been made forthis by rejecting such pieces as, owing to faultiness in poetry, language, imagery, sentiinent, regular movements, or animation, are adapted to be sung, aud would, if inserted, be nearly useless.

The aim has been to give the selection throughout a sumeientiy elevated character to adapt it to the purposes of public worship on the Sabbath, and at the same time to introduce into it such a vari ety of subjects, and such an amount of simplicity, warmth, and animation, as should render it suitable for use in all social meetings, and in families. There has been added to the book a collection of the words used in some of the most common and us; fill chants, anthems, and other set pieces, some of them metrical others not. In preparing the work the compilers suppose that they have had before them nearly all tbe important collections and nearly all tbe good lyrical poetrv contained in the English language. Among the materials of which free use has been made, are eiuht or ten ex-tensive and valuable eollectiona, and many smaller ones, published in England within a few years, and which have never been repub -tLbed or for sale in tbis country. The pieces founded on each Psalm have been arranged according to their respective metres, and the parts are numbered conttn-uousty, fn tbemanner easiest for reference.
