Spain . We have great pleasure in recording the establishment , by Royal decree , of the British System of Education in Spain . It was introduced into that country by
Captain Kearney , a Spanish officer , who , in the year 1817 , attended at the Central School in the Borough Road , to qualify himself for the object . The first school
was instituted at Madrid , in the beginning * of the last year , under the patronage of the Duke del I n fan tad o . It opened with 65 boys , and the number soon increased , and the public attention was attracted to
it . A Royal visit confirmed the Establishment . His P , ! ajesty issued a decree in May last , authorizing- the plan throughout his dominions , appointing a central school at Madias for the education of
teachers , and nominating Captain Kearney as Director-General of the Schools , with a salary of 36 , 000 rials of vellon { £ 350 sterling ) . By the decree , the schools are exempted from the interference of all corporations and ecclesiastics ! The Duke del
In fan tad o has been elected a * n honorary member of the British and Foreign School Society , and has addressed a letter to the Secretary , in which he states that 320 boys are educated in the Central School at Madrid , and expresses his u hope tha £ the Lancastrian system will be adopted in all the towns and villages of the realm . "
r fhis is a bright spot in a dark horizon . With general education , Spain may yet emerge from bondage and superstition and misery .

been transmitted by an English gentleman in that quarter : — u Athanusins , a Greek Christian , 24 years of age , was the son of a boatman , who carried on a small trade in the
Archipelago . The gains of the father being unable to support the sou , or the business sufficiently great to require his assistance , he was obliged to look out for employment in some other way ; and engaged in the service of a Turk , who , pleased with his
conduct , considered him as a . proper object for exercising bis influence in converting him to the Mahometan faith . After holding out great offers , he ultimately prerailed upon him to renounce Chris-
