Mr. CHILDS.
On Tuesday evening last, in the Assembly Room, the young gentlemen of Mr. Campbell's school, delivered a number of select pieces, to a crowded and respectable house. The display they gave of their oratorical abilities, would have reflected honor on a much more advanced period of life, and far exceeded my expectations.
There you saw Inglis, and Bond, the Heights. and Loudon, and Cox, &c. exhibit with such accuracy, firmness and judgment, as forced you for the moment to believe, that they had trod the stage for many years, and were actually entertaining you with their own genuine productions. While we thus admire the progress and proficiency of these youths, we are voluntarily led to ascribe to their teachers no common share of talents and attention. I am not conversant in the language of panegyric, otherwise my applause should contribute to reward them for that genius, which animates and directs them to infuse eloquence and knowledge into the minds of their pupils.
