NEW SCHOOLS IN JERSEY. THIS neat building has just been completed for the Central Schools of the parish of Gronville, in the island of Jersey. The foundation-stone was laid on Easter Monday, 1855, by his Excellency Major-General Sir Frederick Love, the late Lieutenant-Governor of the island. The ground plan was furnished by the architect of the Committee of Council on Education. The front elevation is due to Mr. Philip Brée, the architect, under whose direction the whole work has been completed. The stone used in the rubble-work is a blue sienite from a quarry in the neighbourhood; the quoins, dressings, and bell-gable are of white granite; and the jambs and mullions of the windows are of Caen stone. The work has been executed in a solid and substantial manner by the contractor, Mr. F. J. Hodel. The site is elevated and extremely well chosen, commanding a view of the fertile plain of Gronville, bounded on the left by the high ground on which stands the far-famed "Prince's Tower," and which stretches out into the sea as far as the bold promontory crowned by the old castle of "Mont orgueil," and on the right by the channel which separates the island from the neighbouring coast of France, the clear outline of which is distinctly seen. The plan of the building comprises two lofty and well-ventilated school-rooms, with class-rooms attached; and a master's residence, with courtyards, playgrounds, &c. The whole has been erected at a cost of £1200. The number of scholars already amounts to 120, with a prospect of still greater increase. The parish of Gronville is situated at the eastern extremity of the island, and contains a population of about 3000 souls. There are a few families of resident gentry, but the greater part of the population is composed of small farmers, mechanics, and fishermen. At La Rocque, in this parish, the French landed, on their invasion of the island, in 1781, under the command of the Baron de Rulecour; and in the churchyard a modest sepulchral monument marks the resting place of the British soldiers who fell in attacking the reserve left at La Rocque by the invaders, the main body of which had gone on to St. Helier, where they were defeated and taken prisoners by the British and island troops under the command of the young and brave Lejor Pierson, who fell at the moment of victory. and 2 1658 bourne, 19; Grand Trunk of Canada. 504; Ditto, Six per Cent I ture, 84; Great Indian Peninsular, 224; Great Western of Canad Ditto, New, 12; Ditto, Bonds payable 1873, without option, 103; M Four-and-Three-Quarter per Cent Extension, 10; Ditto.

His own merit raised his family to the honours of the peerage. The Carterets of St, Quen in the Ifle of Jerfey, though diftinguished | ence above the ftale uues of this femi by no other titles than their valour and their loyalty, iffued from an ancient race of Norman heroes. The annals of the little fpot whither they had been tranfplanted for feveral centuries past, make an honourable mention of their glorious deeds, which recommended them to the favour and confidence of the monarch victorious in the fields of Agincourt, and the fceptered Tudors. They have filled for many generations, the firit civil employments of Jerley, and the people revered them as their protectors and their defenders. The adminiftration of my lord Carteret in Ireland, ranks him among the most beneficent governors that ever ruled over that nation, who still hold his memory in the highest veneration. He was the friend and patron of the Swifts, the Addifons, and all thofe geniufes from whom the reign of queen Anne derives, perhaps, a glory more permanent than from the tranfient fplendour of her victories. His talents, his public virtues, and his eminent fervices both to the ftate and the house of Brunswick, engaged George I. after his acceffion to the British throne, to raife this nobleman to the dignity of an earl. George II. made him one of his principal fecretaries of ftate, and he prefided 'till his death, with equal fuccefs and reputation in the councils of that fagacious fovereign, whilft the English fleets and armies gave laws to the univerfe.

His noble parent, who had done every thing in his power to reclaim him from difgrace and infamy, on receiving intelligence of a match that reflected an indelible reproach upon his family, difowned and abandoned him; allowing him merely what was neceffary for food and raiment. With this scanty penfion, lord Carteret could not afford long to drink Burgundy and claret to excefs: his creditors' impatience being worn out, and the bailiffs growing troublefome, he threw himself within the verge of the court of green cloth, with his wedded dame. It does not appear that he was faithlefs to him after marriage; and if the could not behave with dignity, at least fhe appeared with decency. My lord walked regularly every day four or five hours in the mall of St. James's park, and now and then joined converfation with fervant-maids, ftreet-walkers, and needy adventurers: no gentleman was ever feen with him, thinking it beneath them to affociate with fuch a character. He wore commonly a large coachman's hat, with the flaps down, a jockey striped waistcoat, and his garters below his knees. When he had money enough to invite three or four hungry parafites do dine with him, they remained in his lordship's company 'till about one o'clock, that he went to bed, fcarce ever fober. He fpoke French fluently, but was in other respects extremely illiterate as he never read any thing but the jockey's calendar. lived eight or nine years in this contemp He The late earl, his only fon and fuccef-tible indolence and obfcurity. for, was rather deficient in his intellects; After the death of his father, he refided fond of low company, profufe, fickle, and chiefly at his country feat in Bedfordshire; debauched.
