THE EIHRIEVALTY OF LONDOK.—WO are au thorised to state that Mr. Alderman Waterlow and Mr. Francis Lycett intend to offer themselves, on Midsummer day, for election to the office of sheriffs of Loodoa and Middlesex for the ensuing year. Mr. Alderman Waterlow, who was elevated to the dignified position be now fills in 1863, is well and favourably known, not only to the cilium of Loudon but to the public generally, from the ability displayed by him in hie magisterial capacity, and still more from his high personal character. His efforts to promote the welfare of the working &Leas, by the erection of good and cheap dwellings, have tended very considerably to increase his popularity. Mr. Lycett, who has re cently retired from the firm of Dent, Alleroft, and Ow, of Wood.aireek has made for himself a substantial reputation for his liberality and the energy with which he throws himself into the working of besevoleot schemes, aa an instance of which his one. onion with the Lanoashire Relief Fund (of the committee of which be wee a prominent member) may be noted. Both these gentleman having expressed their willingsem to serve, 14 is extremely probable that they will be well received by the livery, who will thus have before them an influential member of the corporation, sod a wellimowa outsider.-- City Press. MIDDLE-CLASS Horicomorr.—A movement has bole lathEarated in the county of Surrey, ander the earpiece of the Bishop of Winchester, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Earl Percy, the Arehdesoon of Surrey, the Hoc. Mr. Broderick, 81r Walter Popular, and several other gentlemen of influence in the muuty, with . • view of affording as opportunity for carrying out the prioeiple of a sound middleolus education, • subject which has of late created a good dee' of public attention., A school has Mee established at Ormay under the superintendence of the Rev. Mr. Sept., the ;toter of Craeley. red • emu oil of distinguished persons in the county, the Bishop of Winchester being the visitor, called the Surrey County School, this title being given to it not booms* it is designed solely for the benetit of the county of Surrey, but because most of its promoters belong to that county . The object of this school is to supply • cheap and emededoca- Son to the sons of men with small means, • want which bas lately been so strongly insisted upon; sad it may be mentiosed as • proof of the extent of that feeling that although the school has only been opened a very short time, 100 boys have already been entered as pupils. The buildiog has been erected to modes 130 boys, sad it is capable of being enlarged so as to receive twice that number at • comparatively small additional outlay of money. A sound plain course of education is supplied to the pupils. and it is intended, so far as may be, that the school shall bear the stamp and character of a public school, and. when completely built sod furnished, it will be entirely self-supporting, The general direction of the school is in the hands of a council of twenty gentlemen of Surrey, amongst whom is the High Sheriff, Earl Percy, Mr. G. Cabin.. M.P., Mr. G. L. Gower, M.P., Mr. It. Barclay, Mr. W. B. &salaa es m, &a, and, a b ove stated, i he Bishop of Winchester is the visitor. Already upwards of 12,00 C/. have been spent on the building, of which 10.000/. has been raised by public subscription. More foods are, however, required for the purpose of carrying out the important object sought to be attained ; but, from the pond feeling upon the subject, there is no doubt that they will be forthcoming, and that the dis tinguished persons who have initiated the undertaking sill have the means provided them for effectually carrying oat the object they have io view—that of affording an op portunity to the middle claws to provide their sons with • wad and useful education at • moderato cost.

Dent be requested im mediately to resign his seat at the board of this company." Several pp:Trista' present expressed a strong opinion that, in consequence of Mr. Dent's connexion with the Joint Stock Discount Company, it will be for the interests of the company if Mr. Dent ceases to be one of the directors. The chairman avoided putting the resolution from the chair, and suggested that the mover should call for a show of hands. Mr. Taylor contended that the resolution should be formally submitted, ant. the result declared by the shairman, but the soli citor having decided that the chairman could not put such a resolution, because notice bad not been given of it in the summons, Mr. Taylor put it, de eland it carried, and in the name of all those present requested the chairman to take charge of the resolution, and notify the fact of its having been passed to Mr. Dent.
