CITY, (,)(7 eIIiTER TO THREE. The Faits of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were about 4,000 bales, and the market was firmer. Shares were better supported, and, from the fieenesic of the weather, with indication of further improvement. Sales of Cotton for the week, 22,530 bales. Stock 397,500 bales, against 777,100 at the corresponding verierd of last year, the market having recovered the decline which occurred it: the early part of the week. There was rather an increased demand for bills upon Amsterdam and the German cities, yesterday afternoon, but a slight improvement occurred in Paris, Trieste, and on, or to o other places. Money is cheap at Amsterdam, notwithstanding the panic in the Stock Maiket, occasioned partly by the innate weakness of the holders, and partly by the pressure of sales on English account, a circumstance which must right the balance, and In ing coin back. The heavy stoppa l :es in the corn trade here will affect some of the Dutch and Belgian houses. Messrs. Giles, Son, aed Co., have been ad-eel to the list of firms in difficulties.

The Public Deposits have increased to an extent that alloy s of this, but the want 01 cash out of doors is sufficiently shown by the retirement of other deposits, and the demand for accom modation. The advices by the steamer from America are given in another column, and being only in course of delivery at the hour of our writibg, we have no opportunity for com m, nt. . The Funds have been very quiet ; for although the Bank rcturn is considered rather favourable, there has been an tnni.position to enter into business, the more .tpecially as the news per steamer has been expected.

In addition to ji \ou peals on the chute') and castle bells, and the tiring of royal salutes, both the to . town and at th o Belvi dere, all the military and naval knights, in full uniform, attended the morning service in the lt('yal Chap .1 o f St. George, and a private el - Islay was nisp-need more liberally:than usual among the poor. On this day Queen Adelaide luta attained her 55th year.., THE ROYAL SQUADRON. The royal yacht the Victoria and Albert com manded by the Right Hon. .I..erd Adolphus Fitz clarence, having her M a j esty an d h er ill us t r i ous Con sort, with the Prince of Wales and Princess Royal on board, brought up, as we stated yesterday, soon after seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, in Yar mouth Roads (I. W.), within a short distance of the shore, the other steamers in the squadron anchoring outside. Soon after daybreak on Thursday morning the Victoria- and Albert signalled the squadrOn to get under way, with orders to the Scourge to:take the lead. In a short time that vessel bore up, taking the usual course for the Needles passage; dropping her colours as she passed the royal yacht. About five o'clock all the fleet were steaming onwards, the Fairy, Undine, Black Eagle, and Garl an d following the Victoria and Albert. Before the squadron, however, had pro seeded five or six miles, a fog came . on, and it was deemed prudent to run into Allum Bay, near Freshwater, just under the Needles Rock s , to the eastward. In the course of an hour or so th e weather somew h a t c l eare d up, and the Royal yacht was again got under way, and by nine o'clock had well cleared the rocks, and was steaming away at full speed to the westward, the Fairy and the Undine keeping up a position on either side of the Victoria and Albert, the Black Eagle and Garland being a short distance in the rear. There was a smart breeze blowing up Channel (S.W.), but comparatively little sea. At fifteen minutes past ten, A.M., the royal squa dron was abreast the Coast guard station at Swanage, eastward of St. Aldan's Head. The passing of the Scourge about an hour previous had notified to the inhabitants the approach of the royal yacht, and no time was lost in patting off sailing boats and other craft to catch a glimpse of the royal party. In the mean time those oh shore used every expedition in hoisting colours on every prominent place. The squadron was at last descried, but the unfavourable state of the weather kept the royal fleet off the coast about three miles. OSMING lON, NEAR WEYMOUTH, THURSDAY NOON. Her Majesty's fleet for Scotland has just passed in the offing down the Channel, steering about west, a long way out. We could just discern them ; there were four steamers going at a good speed ; the wind being fair (about S.S.E.), and , other light. Nu merous yachts were stretching out to greet the squadron as it passed. PORTLAND BILL, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. Early this afternoon the Victoria and Albert, with her Majesty and her Royal Consort on board, accom panied by four other steamers, was off this prominent point of the coast. The weather was foggy, and but for that unfortunate circumstance, the passing of the royal fleet would have been the source of considerable gratification to the inhabitants along the coast. Several guns were fired from the Black Eagle and others of the escort, but whither it wa s a sa l ute or . signals could not be observed consequence of the hazy state of the atmosphere. The fleet went outside the Race and Shambles shoals, and when last seen was steering a channel course to She westward. TORBAY, THURSDAY NIGHT. Her Majesty's trip to Scotland has been unfor tunately impeded by a dense fog. At half past three o'clock this afternoon the royal squadron ran into Dartmouth Bay, and anchored there for the night. Owing to this untoward event, the royal yacht has not accompli.hed 100 miles of the voyage. Up to the present hour (eleven o'clock) the fog still prevails. The Queen was on deck until some time after the yacht anchored, closely attended by his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales in the costume of an A. B. Her Majesty looked remarkably well, and answered the cheers of her subjects, who crowded in boats round the vessel, by gracious smiles and bows. (From the Inverness Courier.) We understand that this county has fairly entered on the duties of loyalty, and that all necessary and suitable arrangements will be made for her Majesty's reception when she lands upon Our western coast. The authorities of Argyleshire will also come for ward. On Friday last,• immediately after the election, a meeting of the gentlemen of the county was held in the Castle, on theSubjtct of the Queen s visit. Lord Lovat was called to the chair. Sheriff Tytler then stated that, although he had not received any official intimation, it was generally understood that her Majesty was about to visit the Highlands oflnverness shire, and he understood from Cluny that her Majesty might now be expected to arrive at Ardverikie on the 19th instant. Mr. Sheriff Fraser, Fdrt William, had been in correspondence with various gentlemen on the subject. A plan was submitted by Mr. Mitchell for the erection of a temporary wooden addition to the pier at Fort William, so as to make the landing place more convenient for her Majesty. The project of having a new landing pier has been considered, but was abandoned, because the time was too short, and no convenient, site could be obtained. Mr. Mit chell stated the new part was proposed to be ten feet in breadth, and to have a gradual slope downward. Posts would be placed round it for a fence of rope. Carriages could not approach nearer than the main street—about one hundred yards from the landing place. The pier, for that space, was proposed to be covered with • tartan-cloth of the Royal Stuart pattern. The tartan was already procured, and the erection of the pier would -be commenced next day (Saturday). Cluny stated that an escort of the 71st highlanders, now in Edinburgh, had been or dered to be in readiness if wanted, and the ground on .which_ they were, to encamp had already been marked out. • • COURT CIRCULAR. Yesterday was the anniversary, of the birthday of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. Her Royal Highness the l)ucltess of Uloueester arrived at Bushy House, Bushy PAik, in the forenoon, to pay a visit of congratulation to her Maj,-sty, on the auspicious return of her natal day. The Royal Duchess partook of a deieune with the Queen Dowager, and in the afternoon took leave of her Ma- jesty and returned to her residence in Richmond Park. The tradesmen of the Queen Dowager illuminated their houses in the evening, in honour of the occasion. His Imperial Highness Prince Peter of Oldent urgh paid a visit yesterday to the new Government I ffices at Whitehall, and inspected the office of her Majesty's Privy Council, the Board of Trade, the Treasury, and the Home Secretary s " c6 —ce, Sir Denis Le Alurehant was in attendance on his Imperial Highaess during his visits The Lord Chamberlain is with the Duke of Devon shire on the Moors. STEALING. << THE SUN' NEWS PA PE R. The Postmaster-General and the Postmaster of Liverpool have had their attention drawn to the fol• lowing fact, and we hope the Editor of lhe Sun will insert this paragraph in his paper, that its appearance therein may tend to discover the thief:— For some time past, the Copy of Vie Sun news paper, addressed to the Liverpool Mercury office, and which we are assured, and do not doubt, is regularly forwarded from London six evenings in the week, never arrives at its destination when there is any very particular news. Once or twice a week this incon venience, this theft is suffered; this week it cccurred two days together, neither Monday's nor Tuesday's paper having arrived. This vie trust will attract the attention it deserves until the culprit is placed upon the treadmill. While we have pen in hand, we may mention that almost daily we receive complaints of the non•arrival of papers. We cannot help believing that there is a traffic going on in the the sale of stolen papers. Last Friday twenty copies of the Mercury were ordered for a manufa , :turing concern near Birmingham. They were duly forwarded by post, but they never reached their destination. The miscarriage of so bulky a parcel seems inconceivable ; and the question i s __ what has become of them ?—Liverpool Mercury. A STOLEN CHILD FOUND.--I he police have re ceiv. d intortnatiun that a child that was stolen from Wilton-place, Knightsbridge, about a month ago, has been discovered with a weinAn in the lower part of Essex. At the time the child (about three years old, named Rosa Farr) was missing, bills offering a reward tor its dis covery were circulated throughout the metropolis, and every inquiry was made by the police, without effect; but this week they received information that a child h a d been found in the possession of a travelling woman who had been taken up upri some charge in Essex, w hi c h i t was suspected, from its dress and manner, w as not h er own; and intimation of this being given in Wilton-place, the relatives of the little lost one proceeded into the country and identified it. The woman had been t rave l. ling and begging with it, and the p oor child appears to have been very harshly used. FIRE IN TUE STRAND.--The shop and stock 0 4. Mr. Lander, hosier and g lover, near the Adelphi Th eatre, were partially destroyed by pre yesterday morning. The fire was discovered by constable F 68, w h° Pre the alarm and called the engines, which w.re success!ully used in its extinction. The tire originated in the cellar, but the cause is as 3et uanown. Mr. Lander is insured in the Sun Fire office. DISAPPEARANCE OF A COLLECTOR.--During the past eight or ten da) s, great alarm has been Celt i n con s& quenee of the disappear ance of Mr. Da.val Griffiths, Government tax-collector a nd surveyor of wei g h ts an d Teeeday and Wedne s d ay l ast at measures.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held to-day at the Euston Station, for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, and also to obtain powers from the shareholders to raise on. mortgage or bond, such sums as the com pany might be entitled to borrow under their Acts. Sir Harry "Verney, Bart., M.P., took the chair at one o'clribic, and the usual prt liminary proceedings having been gone through, The:Worthy CHAIRMAN said, before he called upon the Secretary to read the report he would make a few observati?ns to the meeting. He looked upon the position of this company at the present moment as most satistactory.—(He a r, hear.) They had obtained from Parliament a sanction to their extension line to Brackley and other places, added to which they were connected with the London and North-Western Company, which had, without a desire to dazzle any one, accomplished works without the assistanc e of the Government such as no company in this country ever done before.—(Cheers.) lie was g:al that his Hos. Friend the Chairman of the London and North- Wes'ern Railway was in Parliament as he was sure he would do all he could to protect the interests not only of the railway with which he was connected, but that of all the other railways in the country. The Hon. Baronet then called upon the Secretary to read the report of the directors. The SECRETARY (Wyndham Harding, Esq.) read the following report : " The Act of Parliament, authorising the consolida tion of the Oxford and Bletchley, and Buckingham and Brackley Companies, and the construction of the exten sion of the Buckingham and Brackley line, northward to Banbury, and southward to Aylesbury, received the royal assent on the 22d of July. " The original features of the Buckinghamshire Rail way, as a link in a second line between London and Bir mingham, are thus restored to it. "The London and North Western Railway Company have, on being applied to, expressed their willingness to subscribe the capital for the Extension lines. " By a general regulation of Parliament applied to all the Railway Bills of last y ear, the payment of interest on the calls upon shares created under the powers of the Acts of last segsion, is prohibited. _ _ _ " Under these circumstances, the London and North Western Company have consented to take up the allot ments of those proprietors who, having accepted Exten sion Shares with the expectation that interest would be allowed on the calls, may now wish to relinquish such shares. " In consequence of the consolidation of the two no minally distinct companies of which the undertaking consisted (namely, the Oxford and Bletchley, and Buck ingham and Bruckley Junction Railway Companies) into one company, to go by the name of the Buckingln:nishire Railway Company, which has been effected by the Act of this year, it has been necessary to compile a new register of proprietors, in which each proprietor, of either Oxford and Bletchley, or Buckin g ham and Brack ley shares, is entered as the proprietor of a correspond ing number of Buckinghamshire Railway Shares, of pre cisely the same value and amount. " In pursuance of this arrangement, the certificates of the shares of the Oxford and Bletchley, and Buckingham and Brackley Companies, as they come in for transfer, will be exchanged for a like number of certificates in the Buckinghamshire Railway Company. " The greater part of the laud for the line now under contract (which comprises the whole extent of railway authorized in 1846), has been paid tor, and the works are in full operation. The engineer is directing his especial attention to the preparation of the contract drawings for the extension line between Brackiey and Banbury, with the view of is. curing, if possible, the opening of that portion of the line co temporativously with that of the Buckingham and Brackley, and Oxford and Bletchley lines, early in the summer of 1849. " Rails have been put chased at mod. rote prices for the whole length of railway under contract, and a consi derable portion of these rails has been delivered on the ground. " On the shares of the company (17/. 10a. each) 81.45. per share is now called up. Atter another call the com pany will be in a position to avail itself of its power of borrowing. " The directors will therefore apply to the general meeting for authority to exercise these powers. "In pursuance of the vote of the proprietors at the last general meeting, the directors have taken measures fur promoting the moral and religious instruction of the workmen employed on the line, and of their children. In this object they have been liberally seconded by Mr. Brassey, the contractor for the works. " The following directors go out of office S. Browr.ing, R. B. nson, E. Cropper, T. IL Cobb, E. Deweg, Esquires ; these gentlemen are eligible for re election." After a short discussion the report was agreed to. A resolution was carried unanimously empowering the directors to raise by mortgage or bond a sum not exceeding 264.000/. for the purposes of the company. A. sum of 500/. was voted to the directors; the auditors were re-appointed, and a vote of thanks having been carried unanimously to the directors, the meeting separated. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 13.—Scarcely any bu,nit ss has been done In our sugar market this week, and quotations remain nominally the same as our last. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London !Veto Price Vurrent of Aug. 13.) SUGAR.—To-day there was a more active demand for Raw Sugar for hone consumption, whilst i xporters were desirous to do business, and for the better quali ties holders obtained prices they could not previously ; but for common kinds and brown a further fall in the value took place. West India was in fair demand, both for the scale and refining purptees, whilst the quantity sold amounted to 400 hhds and trcs ; prices about the sama as on Friday last for the better sorts of yellow and for strong grey sorts, but interior and brown qualities are in some cases 6d per cwt under those of that time. REFINED.—To•dsy Refined Sugar was only in limited request by the home trade, although brown grocery lumps were to be obtained at 54s 6d, and standard lumps at 554 to 55s 6d per cwt. The market is quiet for bonded crushed Sugar, and 31s 6d to 32s are the rates ac cepted for first quality. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon a public sale of 1,071 bags Bengal Sugar sold with spirit at an advance on firmer rates of 6d to is—fine white Benares fetched 49s to 51-, good 47a to 48s 6d, good middling and mid• dlitig 44s 6d to 46s 6d, low 435, damp and wash. d 45s to 48s, good soft yellow 41s 6d to 425, middling 406, damp 41s 6d per cat. CorrEE.—This at ternoon there was more desire shown to operate in Mocha Cuff-e, and at public sale 335 bales 267 half bales were all sold at lull rates. The limited business transacted private 4 in Ceylon was at rather lower rates ; and 3 casks 552 bags at public sale went at easier quotations. Foreign Coffee is little requi - .et. ; 786 bags St. limniego sold at Is per cwt decline. SPICES —For East India and African Ginger th re has beeu a good demand ['rivals-Iy, whilst the rates obtained are rather above those that previously pre vailed, and there is a less quantity on offer. None has been brought to auction. Jamaica is little re quired ; and a public sale of 40 cases 72 brls went oil heavily at barely former rates, and a part only sold. Pimento is wanted, and privately several parcels have been sold at stiffer rates; whilst merchants continue to supply the market sparingly: at auction 86 bags were sold. For Nutmegs the demand is less active, but holders have succeeded in obtaining previous advanced rates, although the supply is on the increase. The parcels offered at auction were only in part sold, and amounted to 37 packages. Mace is wanted, and the business transacted privately has been upon fully former terms, whilst there is yet but a small supply. Cloves are held for the previous value, whilst for African the demand privately is good. Bencoolen, however, met with little attention, but Is 8d to 2s are the rates required. Black Pepper of all sorts have been operated in with caution by private treaty for home consumption and exportation, although holders are willing sellers upon previous low terms ; of 926 bags offered at auction a small part only found buyers. Of Long Pepper 20 bags were again taken in at 40s for old. The market for Cassia Lignea is in a quiet state, and the tendency of prices is downwards. Cinnamon is freely offered upon the terms of the last quarterly sales ; but few purchases have been made in any kind by ex porters or the home trade. TEA.—There has been more disposition evinced to operate in Black Tea this week, whilst merch ants hav e I manifested firmness, and obtained' fully previous rates I Privately a lair amount of business haesbheaevnetrenensseceicdl in oongou.

R ust , BRANDY, AND HoLLANDB.--There has been a considerable failing off in the export demand for Ja• maica Rum this week, whilst the home trade purchased with caution; haters evince firmn ess, and ask lu il rates. The market is in a dull state fur Leev;ard Island, and there are sellers at 2s 6d to 2s 61d per gallon, proof strength. For East hdia the demand has been , limited, and 2s 4d is the nearest rate of proof ; with certificate. The purchases made in Deme rara have been to a small extent only, and there are sellers at 3s 2d to 3s 8d for strong sorts. The mar ket is well sul.plied with all deser Otani of Rum. For Brandy the m ar k et h as a dull appearance ; there are ready sellers, whilst prices are on the decline. Geneva is in good request for exportation at 2s 7d to 2s Bd, and for fine for home use at 3s to 3s 3,1. The price of Bri tish Corn Spirits has been reduced 6d per gallon, and is now Ils fur English, and 10s 11d to 118 for Scotch and Lush. Prices of Gin have also been reduced 6d p . cr gall. RICE. —To-day the demand was extremely limited by private treaty for all sorts of East India, and it is still difficult to quote prices with accuracy. At auction 1,094 bags yellow Bengal were taken in at 135 ed fur good, whilst only Ils per cwt was offered. INDiao.—The shipping orders executed have been l trilling for Esst India title(' our last report, whilst the demand for all descriptions for ho me cons u m p tion h as i - ern A itn &Mollify been only for mall quan tities , spfthoici. 240 163 The election of a knight of the shire for the county of Ross, took place at DifTwall on Tuesday last, the 10th instant. Mr. Mackenzie, of Applecross, the late (Protectionist) representative having declined to contest the county, Mr. James Matheson, of Achamy and Lewis, late M.P. for Ashburton, and brother of the present Member for that borough, and uncle of the new Member for the Inverness burghs, was the only candidate in the field. The Hon. Gentleman was escorted from his residence, Conaw House, about two miles and a half distant, by .a large number of gentlemen and farmers of the county, preceded by flags and bands of music. Houses and towns were gaily decorated with flags, flowers, and evergreens ; business was suspended, and the town presented a gayer appearance than it was ever known to do. The usual preliminaries having been gone through by the Sheriff, Mr. MACKENZIE, of Seaforth, in a neat and ap propriate speech, proposed Mr. Matheson, of the Lewis, as a fit and proper person to represent the county in Parliament. Mr. M•LsoD, junior, of Cadholl, seconded the nomination. There being no other candidate proposed, The SHERIFF declared that the election had fallen on Mr. Matheson, who was therefore, duly elected to serve as their representative in the ensuing Par linmeLt. Mr MATHESON then came forward and was re ceived with the most enthusiastic applause, which continued for several minutes. On silence being ob tained, he thanked the electors for the distinguished honour they had conferred upon him by electing him as their representative in the ensuing Parliament, and he assured them that he would endeavour to meet their confidence by a zealous discharge of his duties, and by giving his constant and unremitting attention to their local interests with which his own were so closely identified.—(Cheers.) He wished to call their attention to one subject of great interest to the pro prietors and farmers of the country—he meant the question of the game laws. He was not in favour of a repeal of the game laws, which he considered would not he beneficial to the interests of the country, but he would give his support to any measure having for its object to compensate the farmer for any damage he might sustain.—(Cheers.) Although he had voted in favour of the grant to Maynooth, as that institu tion had been established before the Union, he would resist any grant of public money to endow the Roman Catholic priesthood of Ireland.—(Cheers.) The Honourable Gentleman spoke at some length of the Scottish system of banking, and deprecated any interference with it on the part of the Govern ment. The measure of Sir Robert Peel on the sub ject had not worked well, and he would give his best opposition to any interference with a system which had conferred great benefit on the country. — (Cheers.) He was in favour of the principles of free trade, and had supported the various measures intro duced by Sir R. Peel to unfetter trade and commerce, and he hoped soon to see the shackles that still re mained entirely removed. The country had derived great benefit from the tree-trade measures which had been already passed ; and he was certain that if free trade principles were carried out to their full and legitimate extent; still greater fruits would be pro duced from them.—(Cheers.) After again thanking them for the honour they had conferred on him, he concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, which w.is unanimously carried. The Honourable Gentleman was then chaired round the town twice, amidst the plaudits of the inhabitants, who were unanimous in their praises of their new candidate, who is extremely popular in the county. In the evening about 230 gentlemen sat down ;n the Caledonian Hotel to a sumptuous entertainment, provided by the liberality of the newly-elected Member. IRELAND. ANTRIAI COUNTY. Sir E. W.

Mr. Bremner,- when we last raised her, combined with the stone system which I adopted in March, and which has been perseveringly followed up, have together kept her up so well, I have scarcely a doubt as to her being tight enough to-morrow, or as to her being ready to float off on Friday ; whe n there is reason to hope she may leave the Bay in tow of the man-of war so coneide rately and kindly ordered for that purpose. The wind, however, is again southerly, and it it freshens much from that quarter, it may prevent the man of war from Approaching the Hay, und, at the: same time, throw back our preparations for floating. The same paper states that " the Birkenhead reached Dundrum Bay on Tuesday morning. She seta on . board the G re at Britain Mr. He Haley, with sixty of the dock) ard men under his court:need, and then stetted away f o r shelter, the wind being dead in shore.

SIR,—In the absence of the Warden from Win chester, I trust I may be allowed to trespass on your columns with one or two observations on the litter signed " klumanitas et Yentas," in your paper of to-day. Now that the boys are dispersed for the holidays, it is difficult to speak with perfect confidence of the facts as they occurred on the Bth of July, in the case of the little boy to whom your correspondent refers. As far, however, as I can ascertain them, they are these :—lle was sent to watch out at cricket for some of the prefects ; and at the end of two hours was at liberty to leave off, accordir g to a rule laid down some years since by the present Warden, and, as far as I know, always most punctually and cheerfully obeyed. The day being one on which the usual arrangements of time Vier? broken up on account of preparation for the holidays, other prefects came to play, and the game was continued. The boy in, question was well pleased to go on watching out, without claiming his exemption, and did so much longer than was good for him; and the result is that he is very ill—not, as the surgeon assures me, dan gerously, at present, but still very ill. In this particular case, therefore, I have nothing to add, except that, according to the IVt.rden's under. taking, the circumstances will be exactly inquired into on the return of the boys to school, and dealt wish justly and impartially. The boy himself has always seemed to he a cheerful, happy boy, and got a prize in his class this half year. But your correspondent does not merely wish to draw your attention to this case. Ile protests " against the whole system of tagging carried on and allowed at 11'inchester--igainst giving the prefects such uncontrolled power." I beg that 3 our correspondent will observe that where a large number of boys,from eleven to eighteen years old, are assembled together, there is, indepen dently of all insti'utions, a great darget—indeed, a certain prospect, that strength will often overrule and tyrannise over weakness. - If these tendencies are to he left simply to them selves, a fearful amount of cruelty, wantonness, and • suffering will he sure to take place. If it is attempted to control them by very close and minute superintendence of masters, not only must the attempt inevitably fail from the simple impossibility of instituting and maintaining a superintendence suf ' ficiently minute, but also the whole prospect of tree and manly growth of minds and characters is de stroyed. The system of fagging is a system (and the only* one that I know that is capable of doing its work) of government and protection. It gives to a definite number of the most select boys in the school a re sponsible authority. It intrusts them with a limited control, and places in their hands the duty of resisting the tyranny of mere strength. Upheld by the school authorities, and made strictly responsible, it furnishes the noblest method of forming the characters of these who exercise et, and those who live under it. I so lemnly declare that 1 could not bear the wei:Tht of having 'leder my care 200 youths of such various age, character, parentage, and habits it I lied not the comfort of knowing that ;here was among them such gradation of order and authority, such well under stood responsibility, and such established obedience, as I:efel rue to believe that protection is enforced, order maintaireJ, ar:d duty done, where neither my own. eyes nor those of other masters can possibly_ see them. If it is alleged that at Winchester this power is excessive, or not sufficiently responsible, my reply is that I know better. So far from being excessive, it is hardly great enough. In far the greatest number of instances which I have known in which boys have suffered ill treatment, the cruelty has proceeded from great boys in the lower parts of the school, the prefects having been (as must occasionally happen) either timid or feeble in their prevention of it. • So far from not being sufficiently responsible, it is the very first point in our administration of the school to enforce this responsibility, because we are confi dent that upon it depends not only the entire benefit of the system itself, but a great part of the well being of the boys intrusted to our care. 1 may add that if there be difficulty in the way of juniors complaining, as your correspondent allures, the difficulty arises from the unpopularity of complaints with the junior boys themselves mute, more than from the prefects. In conclusion, I can only repeat with tf.e %.% arden, that I believe, and have good reason to believe, that the boys, small and great, are happy, united, and con tented ; and assure your correspondent that he is entirely mistaks n in what he assert- about the College oath required by the statutes. It has no connexion whatever with the subject on which he writes. I should wish to add, for the satisfaction of those parents who have been alarmed by . the firmer letter of " Humanitas," that we have enjo3ed the most en tire freedom from all illness since Christmas, the case of this little boy being the only one of at all a serious complexion which has occurred. Apologizing for this long but necessary intrusion upon your paper, I am, Sir, yi ur obedient servant, GEORGE MOBERLY, Head Master of Winchester College. Winchester College, Aug. 12.
