ISLANDS STEAM-PACK COMPANY (L.TMITED). The sixth ordinary general meeting o. f the share holders of the abo ve company was held', tt the Pad dington Station of the Great Western RI ilway, on Wednesday last, to receive the report o f tie direc tors, to elect four directors in the room of th e four retiring in rotation, and two auditors, in pursn'enes of the articles of association of the company. The chair was occupied by Abraham Bishop, Esq., of Guernsey, the chairman of the wmpany, supported by Robert Brooks, Esq., M.P. ; David Ogilvy, Esq. ; R. P. Smith, Eeq., M.D. ; Captain Prowse, R.N.; Colonel Aubin ; G. C. Welaford, Esq. ; F. Carrel, Esq.; Captain Orange ; W. Talbot, Esq. ; Geo, Andrews, Esq. ; and many other share holders of the company. The SECRETARY, having read the notice con vening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN rose and said, before calling en the secretary to read the directors' report, and t.bo report of the auditors, he wished to say a few' words on the present and future prospects of the o f tcompany,he s everal and a vr n o n u u l a d l receiptsbeginbyofretandeicnogmapnaneyccforuonmt the commencement to the present time. These figures showed an annual increase of the receipts of the company of about two thousand pounds year by year since its formation. Ha said that it had been the first wish of the directors on finding so large a balance of receipts over expenditure in the working of last year, to have declared a dividend,, but that on consulting the legal advisers of the company, who had on their part taken counsel's opinion on the subject, it was deemed advisable not to do so, at least for this year. The company being formed under the Limited Liability Act the direc tors had not the power to act as open companies could, but if it were the wish of the shareholders that it should be done, they (the directors) would see what arrangements could be made for remodel ling the company, and thus in another year have it in their power to pay a dividend. The CHAIRMAN then called upon the secretary to read the report of the directors, and the report of the auditors, and the annual statement of accounts. The report of the directors was in a measure an echo of the chairman's opening remarks, and stated that all the expectations put before the shareholders' at the last annual meeting had been most fully and. satisfactorily realised ; that the accounts, which had been duly audited, showed that the balance of re ceipts over expenditure for the past year amounted. to £2,356 18s., and which amount constituted a. balance in favour of the company in respect of the business of the year, and recommended that its iisposal should be as follows, viz., £856 18s. to be written off the value of the plant of the company for depreciation, and £1,500 to be paid in further liquidation of the outstanding debts. The adoption of the reports hav in g been duly moved and seconded, the chairman invited a discus sion into the state of the company, and after some brief remarks from several shareholders, the reso lution was unanimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " That the retiring directors, Robert Brooks, Esq., M.P. ; Richard P. Smith, Esq., M.D. ; George Culverwell Welsford, Esq., J.P. for Weymouth, and Thomas Prianly, Esq., of Guernsey, be re-elected." This resolution was seconded by Colonel AUBIN, of Jersey, and adopted by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN then said the next thing would be the election of auditors. Mr. Talbot was eligible for re-election, but Mr. Wimble having accepted the office of superintendent and agent at Jersey, was not now eligible. He, therefore, proposed the election of Mr. Talbot, of Weymouth, and Mr. Elias Neel, jun., of Jersey, as the auditors of the company for the ensuing year. Seconded by Dr. SMITE, and carried unani mously. Some conversation then ensued as to whether the company could be so altered during the next year as to enable the directors to declare a dividend out of the profits of the year, without reference to the losses upon former years ; and Mr. Gliddon, of Guernsey, inquired if any such arrangement were made, whether the old and new shareholders would be amalgamated or placed on the same footing. He (Mr. Gliddon) did not wish such a thing him self, and did not see how it was to be done. Mr. BROOKS, M.P., remarked that it was a legal question altogether, but he had no doubt the diffi culty could be got over if left in the hands of the directors, who no doubt would get it done. It was the wish of the directors to pay a dividend, and also the anxiety of the directors that the remaining shares should be disposed of, the proceeds of which would be devoted towards further reductions of the mortgage debt, and thereby save the share holders from a certain amount of interest. They themselves had taken a large number between them, and that at a time when the company was at a very low ebb, in order to preserve it from falling to pieces, and it would be well if all the remaining shares could be got rid of. Col. AUBIN expressed himself satisfied with the Chairman and Directors, and all their acts, and said that he should propose that the matter be left in the hands of the directors. A general conversation on this subject then took place, and the chairman observed that as Mr. Andrews, the legal adviser of the company from its commencement, was present, he would, no doubt, give an opinion to the meeting on the subject. Mr. ANDREWS, on rising, said it appeared to him that the question was whether arrangements could not be effected in the present improved position of the company, so as to remodel it, and enable the directors with safety to themselves to pay a divi dend. He had no doubt if the question was left in their hands such arrangements would be made, but any proposition would have to be submitted to the shareholders a f n o d r their i a m p o p u r s o v v a o 1 t . e of thanks to the chairman, moved by Dr. SmITU, seconded by Mr. GLIDDON, of Guernsey, concluded the business of the meeting.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra.

By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and I ought to be fourd in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

AN IMP OR T ANT DISCUSSION,—The "Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canva.sing th e soc i al considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting* statistics are brought to be ar upon the inquiry ; but it wou ld greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the Prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions tor removing its zifects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S "SELF-PRESE RVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and Physical Debility, of which the 90th Edition has just been published by Mann and Co., 39.

Powlett, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Strathmore, the Hon. G. W. Fitzwilliam, George Payne, Esq., Captain Little, Admiral Rous, Mr. Ten Broeck, &c. The card contained seven races, the first of which was fixed for two o'clock, and the last at 5.15. The opening event— the Welland Stakes—brought out five of the half score competitors, and Lord Stamford gave the book makers a "fillip" by backing his filly Tisiphone for a con siderable amount. In the succeeding event, however, the fielders had their revenge, Revolver, on whom 2 to 1 was freely laid, being easily beaten by Zara. The Stamford St. Leger resulted in a walk over for the French Confede racy, and eight runners were subsequently hoisted upon the telegraph board for the Burleigh Handicap, the two absentees of the coloured horses between Attaman and Dul cibella, who, by some mistake, were sent the wrong route, and did not arrive in time to start. The favourite Schism, proved her utter incapability of getting a distance, and so little faith had Mr. Swindell in the chance of Millionaire that he did not back him. This was the third year in succession that Mr. Swindell has won this handicap. Below will be found further particulars of the day's racing. The Welland Stakes of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, with 25 added, for two and three olds ; fillies and geldings allowed 31b, and winners extra. Half a mile straight. 10 subs.

On the opposite side of the course Pergus took up the running, and Schism at this point nearly fell.

THE SERIOUS CASE OF WHOLESALE .POIBONING . Yesterday Constance Wilson, alias Catherine Taylor, was brought up on remand and again placed at the bar of the Lambeth Police court, before the Hon. G. C. Norton, for further examination, touch ing the death by poison of Mrs. Emma Soames, in October, 1856. The court, as on former occasions, was densely crowded. Mr. Chipperfieid, as before, conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Neale the defence. Chipperfield said he proposed to-day to exa mine the surgeon who had been called to attend the deceased lady during her last illness, and one or two other witnesses, and then to ask for a further re mand. Mr. George Francis Whid borne was then sworn and examined. He deposed that he was a surgeon, and resided at 61, Guildford -street, Russell square. He bad known the deceased Mrs. Soames very well indeed for two or three years previous to her death in 1856. He had frequently professionally attended her husband and daughter, but he never knew her to require medical atten dance. She was a person of good constitution, and always enjoyed excellent health. On Friday, the 17th October, 1856, he was called to attend her between eleven and twelve in the morning, and he found her suffering from very severe cramps, pains in the bowels, violent retchhig, and great restlessness; in fact, she complained of very serious illness, and that she could not keep ner self still. It surprised him very much that a person of such excellent health should be seized at once with such symptoms, and he asked her if she could a.icount for it, and what she had eaten. She could not do so, but said that she had partaken of some pork pie that had been given to her the night before by Mrs. Wilson, the prisoner. The prisoner was in the room at the time, and said the pie was very good, and she would show him some of it. From what he could judge, the pie which the prisoner produced was very good. It appeared to him at first that the symptoms which he observed were those of an attack of cholera, and he sent her the usual remedies that were found to give ease in dis orders of that kind. He saw the deceased, Mrs. Soames, on the same Friday, between six and seven in the evening, and she was then Dot at all better. He saw the prisoner the second time and every other time he went there. She was the only one he saw attending on the deceased. The daughters were there, but the attendance on the invalid ap peared to him to be conducted under the directions of the prisoner. Mr. Norton—She was acting as her nurse ? Witness--Yes ;as her nurse and friend, in the double capacity, and it appeared to him that she was anxious to render all the assistance she could. It appeared to him that the prisoner was more than usually anxious about getting her well again. When he saw her on the Friday evening the symptoms were not at all altered. She was in the same state as in the morning, and she appeared to suffer as much as any person could suffer. He ordered a repetition of the remedies and thought the deceased was in danger. He was convinced that he told the prisoner so, and he was also confident that he told the eldest daughter ao, as he met her on going downstairs to leave the house. He did not mention that she was in danger on the occasion of his first visit, because knowing her constitution to be so good he supposed the disease would give way to his course of treatment. He was called in the middle of the night by one of deceased's daughters, and found the deceased sinking, and she died be tween three and four o'clock on the Saturday morning. Mr. Chipperfield—ln the course of your attend ance on the deceased did you give any instruc tions to the prisoner to administer the medicine herself and to keep it in her own room ? Witness—Not to my recollection. Ido not believe I did. Mr. Norton—Was the nature of the medicine such as would require particular attention ? Witness—No ; I always send directions with my medicine, written on a label, and I expect those directions to be carried out_ The medicines were not of a poisonous character, and did not re quire any particular attention in their administra tion. Mr. Chipperfield—lf it has been stated that you told the prisoner to give the medicine to the de ceased herself, and that nobody but herself was to give it, is that statement true or not ? Witness—To the best of my belief I gave no such directions, because the dece4sed's daughter, who was then 20 years of age, was quite compe tent to administer the medicine. Mr. Cbipperfield—lf it has been stated here that the prisoner had said that you directed her to ad minister the medicine and nobody else, is that true or not ? W tness—l do not believe I gave any such order, but I could not swear to it at this distance of time. Mr. Norton—Was there any necessity for such caution in consequence of the nature of the medicine ? Witness—Not the slightest, Th e me di c i ne I g ave was an aromatic mixture, commonly called "chalk mixture." From ts nature it was not necessary to give any one a caution as to its ad ministration, and that leads me to the couclusion that I did not give any such In s t ruct i ons, for which there was not the slightest necessity. E xam ination continued—Two bottles of medicine only were sent, one after the other. The bottles were six-ounce bottles , a bout six inches in length. He was not present at the . death of the deceased ; but when he saw her sinking there was nobody present but the prisoner , .. vho appeared to him mu ch distressed. to be very He expressed to her his surprise that such symptoms could be so quickly produced, and that :he usual remedies had failed in effect. He tollowel that surprise by re fusing to give a certificate of death without a post mortem examination. He m•as asked to give a cer- k • Mrs. Harriett Jane Stevenson was next called, and deposed that she was the wife of Mr. Sampson Stevenson, and no.v resided at 6, Melbourne-terrace, Pratt-street, Camden Town. In October, 1856, they were lodging in the house of the deceased, and had done so for four years. She remembered that on the evening of October 15, 1856, she saw the de ceased in her kitchen between 9 and 10 o'clock. She then appeared to be in her usual state of health and spirits, which were always very good. Witness was just on the eve of her confinement, and her mother, Mrs. Martin, was staying with her, and Mrs. Soames, the deceased, had promised to be with her during her confinement. On the Wednesday night in question the deceased told her that her time was near, and she hoped she would call her up that night if anything happened. Witness was taken ill be tween 4 and 5 o'clock on the Thursday morning, when the deceased came down to her and said " I feel dreadfully ill; so bad that I am afraid I cannot stay with you." She complained of sickness and was sick. The prisoner came into witness's room once or twice during that night, but witness refused to allow her to remain there. She had objected to the prisoner because, to Mrs. Martin, she had spoken ill of the deceased and tried to take away her character, Witness's child was born two or three hours afterwards, and the deceased died early on the following Saturday morning. The deceased had never intimated to her that she was acquainted with or carrying on a correspondence with any man, or that she had lent money to any man. Her husband had died before the preceding Christmas, and the deceased was still wearing widow's weeds. She had known and lived with the deceased for four years, and always considered her a prudent, discreet, and respectable woman. Mr. Stevenson, the husband of the last witness, was next called, and deposed that he remembered that on the day of the inquest he met the prisoner on the stairs, on her return from that inquiry. He asked her what was the result of the inquiry, when she said, "Plenty of cause for natural death. How thankful I am ; for if that fellow had given her any thing"—and there she broke off. No reference had been made to whom she meant by "fellow," and witness passed her and went upstairs. Mr. Cnipperfield here intimated that this was all the evidence he proposed offering that day. An analysis in the case was being made by Professor Taylor and Professor Miller, of the King's College Hospital, and he hoped on the next occasion to con clude this case as well as that of Mrs. Atkinson. The application was granted, and the prisoner again remanded. The prisoner is a good deal altered in appearance since her first examination. When led into the dock she requested permission to be seated, and her re quest was complied with, but the moment Mr. Whidborne was sworn, she rose, and advancing to the front of the dock, and leaning over it, listened attentively to the evidence, r ema i n i ng i n th a t po s i tion until the termination of the proceedings. DISCOVERY OF A CORAL BED.—An interesting and valuable discovery was made a few days ago of a coral bed in the Straits of Freghi. It first became known acci dentally to a Sicilian dealer in coral named Michele Criscuolo, who was presented with some fine pieces for sale by a fisherman from Gaze. The fisherman was quite ignorant of the value and great importance of the disco very. Criscuolo offered him two scudi (3s. 4d.) a-day to fish for him, to which the man very readily agreed. The success was beyond all expectation. In a few days upwards of £2OO worth of the light pink coral so much esteemed now a-days was brought up, and Criscui do appeared in a fair way of making a rapid fortune. So grand a discovery could not, however, be long kept secret, and in a few days as many as 40 boats are said to have collected on the spot, and tried their fortune with varied success. The bed lies at a depth of about 80 fathoms, and is situate at about a quarter of a mile off the Gozo shore. We understand the Chamber of Commerce has written to the Government calling up on i t to take steps for putting a temporary stop to the fishing until regulations be made to prevent the needless destruction of the coral by inexperienced persons, in ord er that the greatest possible profit may be made to accru e f rom it to the public. It is reported that this coral bed y ‘ - ‘ e ' r e; i k a n j eosw examinet y n :* n s ht t h b i pe e time of the Grand s not at but that, the coral being of a pink colour, it was not considered of any value, the deep t will p t r n o i c e e p e d r e o f e n r r se and . the dee I s i e 3 r lN e l d ed e in er a e , l it he is in s g ai a d t , locality.—Malta Times, July 17.

Mr. Norton—When you refused to give a certifi cate of death w i t h out a post - mortem examination, had it crosse d your mind that she died from unfair means ? Witness—lt h a d crosse d my mind that she had died in a manner that was not at all satisfactory. He had attended the inquest when the post-mortem was ordered, and with his assistant he had made the post-mortem. He found considerable inflammation of the peritineum, which is the memtnne which encircles the bowels. The smaller intestines were also very much inflamed. He remembered that the heart was particularly large, but empty. He did not recollect whether in the stomach they f and any thing that particularly drew their attention. They examined the liver and the bladder, but there was nothing particular about either. To the best of his recollection the stomach was taken away by his pupil, but nothi ng was d one t o ana ly se it, for medical men generally are not up to analyses of that sort. impression o f t h e result of the post-mortem exa wMr. Norton—D oitness_my you remember what was your nation ? suspicion is s ee u ido p ns p t o ta s ht e : t that she t ew 11 ammation of the peritoneum and bowels.

H e did not think that the inflammation was the natural consequences of the choleraic complaint. The infla mation was very severe, and he could not in any way account for it. The appearances which presented themselves were consistent with death from poison, as were also the symptoms before death, and those appearances might have been caused either by a vegetable or mineral poison. By Mr. Chipperfield—Witness was present when the prisoner was examined at the inquest. She ex hibited great apparent regret at what had occurred, and evinced feelings that would be expected from an intimate friend on such an occasion. She did not express any opinion as to the cause of the death of deceased ; but he remembered she made some obser vation to the effect that the deceased had had a good deal of anxiety and trouble about family matters. The eldest daughter told him the same thing when she fetched him to attend her mother. Mr. Norton—Can you remember whether the prisoner said anything about the death of deceased in connection with poison ? Witness (after some hesitation)—To the best of my recollection it was said that deceased had lent a considerable sum of money to a person she had met in an omnibus near the Angel at Islington, and that she had lost it, and I thought it extraordinary that a well-conducted person like Mrs. Soames should have lent money in such a way. The contents of deceased's stom ac h h a d b een ta k en to the University College by his pupil, who was now with his regi ment in India, but he did not learn the result of the analysis. Mineral poisons and vegetable poisons would produce the same symptoms, but mineral poisons would b e f oun d, w hil e vegeta bl e poisons, such as colchicum and belladonna, woald produce the same effects and leave no trace behind. In cross-examination the witness said he had not taken any opinion as to the cause of death, nor had any one else been called in during the illness of the deceased. Mr. Barnes, the brother of deceased, was recalled, and said that he had never applied to the last wit ness for a certificate of his sister's death. It was he (witness) who had called for the inquest. Mr. John Howard Dixon was next called, and proved that he was a senior clerk at the Post-office, and was well acquainted with the die stamps used in 1856. From the die stamps on the letter pro duced, he was enabled to say that it was posted in Torrington place between 10 o'clock on the night of Saturday, October 18, and 8 o'clock of the morning of Monday, October 20. The letter here referred to was the anonymous letter addressed to the deceased after her death, and purported to come from the unknown man to whom the money had been alleged to be lent, but which letter is sworn to be in the handwriting of the pri- soner. -- _..~_.

I was made • memakfoer :e a comic to write poems in blank verse and in cantos ; editors have made me wr it e crambo rhymes p to fill u - designed that I half pages. Nature should lucubrate for the high-heeled sock ; managers have resolved that I shall scribble for the low heeled buskin. Do what I will I cannot escape from the thrall of these tyrants, who have leagued themselves together to pervert my genius to base uses. If I propose to a publisher to write him a three volume novel, he smiles at me in credulously and says :—" Not in your line ; can't you give me a bundle of those light, comic trifles which you know so well how to hit off" Hit off, indeed ! I hate hitting off. I never hit off. I po nder, nder I excogitat e , I b urn the m id n i g ht oil, I study; and this dull, unperceptive fellow asks me to " hit off" something. I should like to hit him e ff. I assure the reader, on my honour as a gentle man, and, let me add, a scholar, that my blank verse is of a very high order indeed. Friends have said " equal to Tennyson," and I am not disposed to ac cuse them of flattery. But what happens to my blank verse ? Invariably and consistently " de clined with thanks." Professing and practising various branches of the literary art, as is the cus tom, now-a-days, I contribute to the leading columns of the newspapers; my forte is politics. All wh have the pleasure of my acquainta nce i n th ' ° e private circle know that I could come out strong in party strife ; but where is the editor who will allow me to write a political leader ? Echo answers where ? When Igo down to the office in th ' " e afternoon fully expecting to be put en to Church-rates or Schles wig-Holstein, what do I find P Why that Church rates and Schleswig-Hoist • out idiotsein .have beer! to two of the greatest serve d e• and I—l, forsooth, who could shake in the wholeuniverbsen, bench of bishops in their square -toed s hoes th e an and cumple up Denmark with half a quire of note-paper—l am obliged to be content with the smallest crumbs that fall from the editorial table. "Crasher, you had better write about that police case—make it light and readable ; or you may take up the nursemaid and perambulator q uestion—smart, you know 'smart.

Grey, and Mr. Gilpin, to enable boards of guardians of certain unions to obtain temporary aid to meet the extra ordinary demands for relief therein : " Whereas by reason of the closing of mills and factories in certain parts of the country great num bers of the labouring and manufacturing classes have been thrown out of employment, and, having become chargeable to the unions and parishes wherein they reside, the ratepayers within the same are likely to be subjected to very heavy and extra ordinary burdens, and it is expedient that means should be afforded whereby temporary relief may be rendered to such ratepayers : Be it enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same. "1. That if after the passing of this act the guardians of any union situated wholly or partly in the counties of Lancaster or Chester shall find that the expenditure of any parish comprised in such union on account of the relief of the out-door poor for auy current week shall exceed by two thirds the amount of the average cost of such relief for the same week in the three preceding years, the guardians shall charge upon the common fend so much of the cost of such relief as shall be over and above such excess until the Ist day of March next. " 2. The guardians may from time to time make any orders for contributions from the several parishes comprised in such union to the common fund, in addition to their ordinary orders, and shall have the same powers for enforcing such orders as in the case of the usual and ordinary contributions. " 3. If the guardians of any such union shall find at Michaelmas or Christmas next that the amount of the common charges for the quarter end ing at either of those times shall exceed by two thirds the average amount of such charges for the same quarter in the three preceding years, the said guardians may apply to the Poor-law Board for a contribution in aid, and thereupon the Poor-law Board may, if they shall think proper, upon being satisfied that the excess of expenditure is as afore said, make a representation to her Mejesty in council, and it shall be lawful for ber Majesty, if she shall think proper, by order in council, to give authority for the application of the powers here after provided. " 4: Upon the issuing of such order in council the Poor-law Board shall make an order upon the sove- ral unions and parishes under a separate board of guordians or select vestry in the county wherein such union shall be situated to contribute a sum of money to meet the excess, in proportion to the amount of the expenditure of the several unions and parishes for the year ending on the 25th day of March last, and the several sums so apportioned shall be paid by the guardians and select vestry of the said union and parishes respectively out of the common fund of the said unions, and from the funds of the guardians and vestry of the said parishes respectively, to the treasurer of the union on whose behalf the said order in council shall have been issued. 5. The Poor-law Board shall exclude from con tribution any union or such parish aforesaid Where the excess of the expenditure for the same quarter shall be half at least of that of the average guar • terly expenditure for th e said three preceding years. 46 6. Where the union applying for aid shall ex tend into two or more counties, the contribution in aid shall come from Viat, county in which the greater part of the union shall be situated ; and where the union required to contribute shall be situated in two or more counties it shall only con of it shall b e situuted tribute i n that county in whi c h th e grea ter part "7. No order of the Poor-law Board s hall be issued un d er the authority of this act a fter the first day of M arch next, nor be liable to be removed into the C ourt of O a certiorari or otherwis e . Queen's Bench " 8. Every order in council issued under this act shall be laid before Parliament. " 9. The several words herein contained shall be construed in like manner, as in the act of the 4th and sth William IV., chap. 76, and in the subse quent acts extending and explaining the same, and all the provisions contained therein now in force shall be applicable to this act." CRYSTAL PALACE.—A concert of Welsh national music was given recently at St. James's-hall with so much success that a repetition of it in th e l arge Concert-room of the Crystal Palace is announced to take place to-morrow.

' I The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then said that other engagements would prevent him from Witnessing the remainder of the ceremonial. He could not, however, yield the chair without ex pressing the great gratification he had derived from witnessing the admirable state of efficiency which had characterised this portion of the arrangements of the day. Many years had elapsed since he had heard the recitations at King's College School, and he could not but 'warmly congratulate Dr. Major on the high points of excell ence t o w hi c h h e had brought the sc h o l arship of his pupils. The manner in which the pupils performed the parts assigned them distinctly proved that they not only studied the words, but entered into the spirit of the great writers from whose works they recited. It was much to say, but it could be said with perfect truth, ' that under his direction the school had proved itself a worthy appendage of tile College. He could not leave without giving utterance to the warm and heartfelt wish that both might continue to be foun tains of the greatest social intelligence and of the highest religious blessing to the community for whose benefit they were founded, and whose confi dence they had always enjoyed. (Cheers.) The Rev. Dr. JELF expressed his regret that public duties should deprive them of the presence of Mr. Gladstone, especially as the value of the prizes would have been enhanced by his presenta tion of them. _ - 7 .4‘ C__ [Ton 3oner e his i up.
