The Duk of KENT then invested the distinguished . children with silver medals. Mr. FATEtt, liter an appropriate speech, .pro posed, that the title of the Institution be " The Royal British Institution for Educating the Poor,"&c. The Earl of Daster.sx spoke in a low voice, so that he wit; almost inaudible in the part of the room its which we were. He said, that the Countess of Darnley had only been precluded from attending by indisposition. He proposed, that the benefits of the Institution be extended to the neighbouring parishes of these districts. This motion twits carried unanimously. ...The Thanks of the Meeting were then voted to the Committee. Mr. WILLS, the Secretory, returned thanks. Mr. WHITENEAD then rose amidst the ',plume of the Meeting. Alluding to the compliments which D.

I diligent keeper is abeitad ; he drives all theeipmees, • turnal spoilers into sate sanctuary, and places ;mead that sanctuary a fortification of dog-spikes, as sharp las razors, and as certain of accomplishing the work of canine destruction as is the spear of the Cossack ' lon the body of a Frenchman. And, indeed, it I ought to be noticed, that these spears have, in some • i Instances, been fatal to the human as well as canine / • species: two cases have happened where persons I wounded by these spears have, after lingering a long ' time, sunk into the grave in consequenee of the in- juries inflicted by them. It is reasonable to think, , • that what can kill a dog will dangerously wound a i man. We can warrant the accuracy of the folio , ing ; ' fact:-Previous to the Ist day of October last, Mr. Jaques, of Marlow Mill, being a qualified pereou t 1 , was requested by Mr. Johnson, the owner of Becking I I Farm , to shoot him a few pheasants on that day, the first of the season. Mr. Jaques told the man servant who brought the message, that if he were to kill his' master any pheasants, he must be on Becking ground!!,; before daylight, to prevent House driving off the. ' • game. The servant was there by four o'clock if ‘ , • and found House already on the fonNpatb t which , : did not dare to tioir, loving, bad notice er:evestia ~,,,..:-..:.::-.---rs - t ..., - iv: ~.„.. . -., ; . from Mt.
