Sands, (chairman,) Horsfall, Barclay, Holmes, Middleton, Evans, Boyden, Tobin, Bold, Shand, Aikin, Holt, and forma- Brawler-Moore Mr. BARCLAY said, that in reading over the proceedings of the last meeting of the committee, he observed that coun sel's opinion had been given, to the effect that the committee were not liable for any loss or damage by fire in the new warehouses, and that,. consequently, notice to that effect should be given to all parties. Was it not possible that some difficulty might arise from parties, in such cases, contending that they had not received due notice? If the committee were not liable why give the notice at all? By saying that they would give notice they said, in fact, that it was right to Mr. AIKIN said the notice spoken of in the proceedings was not to be given to individuals. but to the public. Mr. BOLD added that it was intended to post it up in each Mr. AIKEN, in continuation, said it would be much better to give public notice. The public was not to complain if any accident happened, and come to the committee for compen sation, and say, they took the property into the possession of the Dock Trustees, and thought they would be all safe, we had no notice. The notice, therefore, ought to be public. The CHAIRMAN.—And also in the sheds. Mr. AIKIN understood that was ordered at the last Mr.l3vANs considered that the property would never come into the hands of the committee, except where they did not know the proprietors, or scarcely ever. Notice could not be given to individuals if they did not know them. What ever got into their hands would be a kind of derelict—that was nobody's. Mr. AIKIN replied that if property was derelict, it was the duty of the committee to protect it for the party to whom it belonged. lie would rather the committee should be iu the position of the customs, who had a lock for the sake of the duty. The committee should have a lock upon the goods for the sake of the dues. They did not take the manage ment of them, but kept possession for the dues. The' Cu AIRMAN read the resolution agreed to at the last meeting, whieltwas to the effect stated by Mr. Barclay. b e I Mr. EvAlNts thought that Mr. Aikin had opened up an analogy between the committees and the customs which was excellent, and he should say it ought to be the law of the committee as well as the law of the customs. The customs Mr. I - 1 ORSFALL .was of opinion that a public notice would sufficient, but riot to individuals. The CHAIRMAN also thought that individual notices would be most objectionable. -- Mr. TOBIN suggested that besides putting up the notice in the sheds, it should be advertised in all the Liverpool papers and also in the London Gazette. Mr. EVANS observed that even if the committee did not give public notice, their non-liability of the committee would be borne out by the act of Parliament. The conversation on this subject now dropped, it being understood that public notice only would be given. On the recommendation of theeSub-ComiOlttee for the de- partment of the Harbour Masters the sum of £24 was or dered to be paid to the South Harbour Master for expenses of car-hire during the last year: and further tt•at the sum of £2O per annum be allowed to him for his car-hire upon ex- The allowance to John Roberts, superannuated dock-gate man of 15s. per week was ordered to be continued to him for three months longer, in consideration of twenty-nine A report was read from the North Harbour Master on the subject of the'damage done by the American ship George Stephens to the shed on the quay of Clarence basin, as men tioned in our last; and it appearing that the damage was caused by an accidental breaking of the ropes owing to a sudden squall, the amount claimed from the Capt a i n b re mitted. A letter was read from Mr. Edward Chaloner, in reply to a communication addressed to him, on the part of the com mittee, remonstrating with him for having appropriated part of the sheds rented by him, from 'the committee, fir the storing of mahogany, to the Warehousing of cotton. Mr. Chaloner's explanation was of great length. It was to the effect, that he had expended upwards of £3,300 upon the shed, and when he took the premises in 1838 for seven years, at a rent of £4BO per annum, he had no idea of any alteration in the duties on mahogany by which the trade would be diverted into other channels. The consumption of it, now, too was so great that the stock could not accumulate, and under these circumstances he con sidered that there would be no objection to his devoting a part only of are premises to other uses especially as there was ample space for whatever mahogany might come in.— A long discussion followed upon the subject in which Mr. Bromley Moore, Mr. Gray, Mr. Aikin, Mr. Tobin, Mr. Shand, and Mr. Horsfall took part, a: the end of which Mr. Chaloner's letter was referred to the Committee of Works, the Surveyor in the mean time to inspect the actual state of the sheds and report thereon to the general committee next Thursday. This b . eing the whole of the general business the parties retired, but the Committee sat a short time longer in titian- MEETING OF MERCANTILE ASSOCIATIONS A meeting of the associated bodies of this town was held on Monday afternoon, in the office of the East India and China Association, for the purpose of taking measures for the future protection of property from fire. There was a large attendance of 'gentlemen. William Brown, Esq. was called to the chair. CHAIRMAN having briefly explained the object of the Mr. TODD said that they had met to take a retrospect of the past, nor to indulge in regrets as to the immense loss which had been recently sustained in this town by fire, for that would be an useless expenditure of time ; but they had met to provide for the future, by the adoption of remedies which were now indispensably calved for. One remedy which, at the outset, suggested itself, was the support of the hill which the Council were applying for in Parliament. The Fire Bill was introduced into the House of Commons but, notwithstanding that, the warehouse-owners were deter mined that it should not pass until they had tried an experi ment. " Let another fire take place," say they. " and we will try if we cannot extinguish it." Well, another fire did take place, before any experiment could be tried under the Water Bill, and then the warehouse-owners, in their mag nanimity, said, " Oh, let us go on with the Fire Bill again." The advice was complied with, thus showing that the ware house•owuers were the masters of the council, and that they' (the merchants) were completely at their disposal. It wa:4 time for them to free themselves from this servitude. The warch se property of this town was no doubt large; but the property that was stored in those warehouses was much more• valuable. He should estimate it at £20,000,000, and if any given period could be fixed upon when the warehouses were emptied and righted, he should say that property of the value, of £60,000,00 0 passed through them ; and yet a mere sec tion were to dictate what regulations were to be in force. and. in feet, to have the whole of the owners of that property at their mercy. It was time that they should free themselves from this dictation ; and the first step towards it should be the sending up of a petition from that meeting which repre sented the commercial bodies of Liverpool, begging of the legislature to pass without delay, not the hill of the council, but a bill emanating from that body. He therefore said, that in any bill which the council went for, and which re ceived the support of the associated bodies, the classification of goods, and the removal of the buildings in which hazar dous trades were carried on, should be provided for. They asked for power to remove from the neighbourhood of a warehouse, containing, perhaps, £lOO,OOO worth of property, a small building not worth more, probably, than £lOO, end the returns of the occupier of which were not more than £2OO a year, giving him co►npensation for the loss sustained by re moval, and that only. As to the necessity for classification, he thought it was needless to enlarge upon that, after the ex perience they had had. (Hear, hear.) The speaker them pointed out the present position of the Fire Bill, and pro posed, that the meeting should agree to petition the House of Commons, seconding and enforcing the prayer of the pe tition from the Council, sent on Saturday. Mr. JAMES BALLY seconded the motion, which was agreed to. Mr. TODD said, that he had had a conference with the Town-Clerk and Deputy Town-Clerk, and it was proposed. that several new clauses should be introduced into the bill. Qne of these suggested clauses was to the effect, that every porter should, as the condition on which he was employed,. submit to be searched before entering a warehouse, if that. should be thought necessary. It might be said that this was an infringement on the liberty of the subject; but it was not,. if it was done with the porter's consent. The CHAIRMAN.-1 have it done now. Mr. W. RATHBONE thought it would be better to avoid! going into details then, and to appoint a committee of that. body to see what the new provisions were, and what the bill would be in its complete form. The CRATRMAN said that he had that day seen the Mayor, told him of the meeting he was about to attend, and asked. him for a copy of the bill. The Mayor's reply was, that it bad been so altered and mutilated that it would perhaps mis lead them, and suggested the propriety of their appointing a committee to co-operate with the Council Fire Committee, by which means they could suggest anything which, in their oponion, was requisite or desirable. if such a committee was appointed, they might probably get some useful clauses introduced, and some obnoxious ones removed. Mr. lia - runoNE seconded the motion for the adoption or the petition, which was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. JAmlis FOWLER, seconded by Mr. J. B. BRANCKER, a committee, consisting of the following: gentlemen, was appointed :—Messrs. Brown, Todd. Filcher, Wrigley. Gladstone, C. S. Parker, Tobin, Healing, and jun. - - -- - Mr. TODD then said, that at the suggestion of a gentlemaa well known to them all, he should propose, as the delay in. parliamentary proceedings was very great, and as immediate remedies were requisite for this alarming conjuncture, that they should, either by memorial or deputation, call upon the Lords of the Treasury and the Commissioners of Customs to adopt immediate measures for rendering warehouses, both in their construction and management, more secure. fle should therefore move the following resolution :—" That in the opi nion of this meeting a deputation of merchants should be sent to London, in order to suggest to the Lords of her Ma jesty's Treasury, and the Commissioners of her Majesty's Customs, the absolute necessity of enforcing, in all ware houses, sheds, &c. used for the depositing of bonded goods within the port of Liverpool, such provisions as shall secure the proper classification of merchandise, and such rules and regulations for its receipt, delivery, and custody, in bond, as shall, as far as possible, tend immediately to remove many of the well-founded objections which are entertained by the di rectors of fire insurance companies to the present syst••:rn of warehousing in this port, and to provide as well for the effec tual security of the merchant as of the revenue." _ After a long conversation Mr. Todd agreed to withdraw his motion. Several other propositions were brotight forward; but, after a long discussion, the Chairman suggested an ndj urn ment, to allow time for the East India Association to consi der the subject ; this was agreed to without opposition, and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting ad- Greenwich is described by the old Elizabethian chronic ters as a " peerless place."

LLECHES.—The following has been handed to us for insertion :—" Well, my good woman, how is your Mt.:- band ?" asked a chvinist in a sea-port town in a remote part of England of an ancient dame. " Oh, sir, we've had .a weary night with him, poor !Mill! " Why, did you apply the leeches, as I ordered ?" " Yes, sir, but oh ! my poor husband, I . thought he would have died a .taking 'etn. You see, sir, we couldn't get 'em down. He did try, and try, and try, but they did stick all across his throat, and I made sure he would be strangled.

The first half-yearly examination of the pupils in the several schools in the Liverpool Collegiate Institution, took place on Tuesday last, with the most satisfactory results ; and on Wednesday the scholars who had most distinguished them selves were presented with prizes in the presence of the ReV. the Principal, the Mayor of Liverpool, Mr. Rector Brooks, Mr. Rector Campbell, the Rev. Dr. Tattersall, the-Rev. F. Barker, and a brilliant assembly of the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. The capacious lecture room of the Institution was, indeed, quite tilled. The front of the raised dais was appropriated to the boys who were to be the recipients of prizes ; and to the right the remaining pupil:: were placed. Their appearance was deeply interest- A. few minutes past eleven o'clock the chair was taken by the 'Rev. Rctor Brooks, and all tie pupils sang the chant Venice, exultemus Domino, in which they were joined by the auditory. After this, The Rev. CHAIRMAN delivered the following address : Boy's: Before 1 proceed to the business of the day, I must be allowed to express my regret at the absence of our respected Diocesan, the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, to whom it would have fallen, in his office of visitor to these schools, to pre sent the prizes which are this day to be given to those Pupils who have distinguished themselves by their proficiency in their studies during the last half-year. In his absence it has fallen to, my duty to supply his place. Ido so with great regret, because, I cannot but feel that had he been here him self, not only from the situation which he holds in the diocese, but also from the general respect and esteem in which he is held, he would have performed it much inure efficiently than lam able. It is a source of great satisfaction to the Com mittee to be informed by the Principal and the other masters who superintend your education, that they are satisfied with your general conduct during the last half-year—that you hare conducted yourselves, generally speaking. with great propriety, and that you have paid attention to those studies which are so essential to your future progress in life. You are now upon the point of leaving the school for a short time, to take your first vacation, and the ceremony of this day naturally takes place at this period. With regard to the prizes themselves, I find that we are indebted to several gen tlemen, who have been great contributors to this Institution, for having-supplied us with the means of presenting to those who are roost wort-by, a handsome testimony of theirs and the masters' approbation. The first I see upon the list, is the name of Lord Francis Egerton, (hear, hear,) who has contributed a-prize of ten guineas, to be given in books to the boy who has most distinguished Moist If by his proficiency in. the Upper School. (Hear, hear, bear.) In the second school—or Middle School--I find that Mr. Potter, a mer chant of this town, who is entitled by his subscription to a scholarship, instead of presentit , it to one of his own con nections, or friends, has, very kindly, thought proper to pre sent it to the master, to he given to the boy most deserving of it in the Middle School. (Hear, hear, hear.) That is an annual scholarship. which entitles him to a free admission into the Miiddle School ; that will become vacant each year, and is to beheld for one year, as that the boy who has been the successful candidate upon this occasion does not neces sarily retain it unless he chews equal zeal and industry in his purstiit of k nowledge. (Hear, bear.) In the Lower School we have two scholarship.: given by Mr. Edmund Molvneux, another me rchant in the town of Liverpool, who by his subscription is entitled to four scholarships in the Lower School, and he has given the whole, the whole four,—two only coming into play at this time, but it will be so arranged that one of lis scholarships shall fall vacant every year. In addition to these there have been some prizes given in divinity by 'the Principal, and one in mathematics by the Rev. Dr. Bo oth ; there are some others also given by some of the other masters, and the remainder by the Institution. (Hear, hear., I shall now proceed to the delivery of these prizes; and 1. shall request the Principal to present to me the first boy he has to put-forward. The Rev. 'Ar..l. CoNYnuAste, Principal of the Institution, then introduced Master Adam S. Ferrer, (son of the Rev. Mr. Ferrer, 'Wesleyan Minister, and Supelintendent of the Liverpool North Circuit.) mentioning to the Chairman that this youth had eminently distinguished himself. The CUAIICMAN then addressed Mr. Farrer thus :—Farrer, I have the pie: tsure of presenting to you the prize of ten guineas which LOrd rraticis Egerton has given to the best boy in the Upper School;—to be presented in books. I have also the gratification t 4 present to you another set of books, as the prize in Divinity ; and I find by the record which the Prin cipal has put into my hands you are also entitled to a prize in History. When I say entitled, I mean so far as your merits go; but in consequence of the rule of the Institution which will not allow any one boy taking more than two prizes, that one will go to the boy who has been second. This, however, does not detr act from your merit. I have great pleasure and satisfaction in. holding you up as an example to the rest of the school for the ir imitation. It is a matter which must be very satisfactory t A your friends, and to yourself also, that upon the first occasion you have been contesting you should have carried away no less than three prizes. (Hear, hear.) I un derstand it is.. your intention to pursue your studies, after you leave school, in the University of Oxford. You will there enter upon r wider field of competition ; there it will require all the energies of which you are master to keep up the cha racter which. you have obtained here ; and I would dismiss you with this single observation, that you must recollect that you have rat only your own character to tnaintain in the University, but as one of the most likely, and as one of the first boys tent leaves this Institution and ) goes there, yon will have the character of the Institution itself in your hands: (Great applause.) Mr. Facrer then retired amidst loud cheers, in which all his fellow-scholars heartily joined. _ . _ The PRINCIPAL then introduced Andrew Wilson to the Chairman_ The CHAIRMAN, addressing this young gentleman, said: Wilson, you, too, I find, have by your diligence obtained two prizes in your class. You have obtained the first prize in the second Blass,—the first of the school prizes, and you have also obtained the mathematical prize. It must be very gratifying to you, and to those connected with you, to find that your course has begun so favourably. I have great plea sure in presenting these prizes to you, and I hope they wig be a stimulus to your future exertious. (Loud cheers.) The PI INCIPA L next introduced three boys, named Gotithwaite, Smith, and Tatham, of the third, fourth, and fifth classes. The CLIAIRmAN addressing the youths said, Gonthwaite, of the third, Smith, of the fourth, and Tatham, of the fifth class—l have to congratulate you also upon your having obtained in your respective classes the first prize in history. You are among the junior part of the school, and you cannot be expected to have done as much as those who have larger experience and more mature age. It must, however. be very gratifying to you to have succeeded in the competition in each of your own classes; but you must remember that to keep your place will require the exertion of all your industry and of all your energy. You will have others to contend with who will tread upon your heels; and it is for you to keep that place in the race which you have established for your selves at the commencement. I have great pleasure in pre senting to each of you the books which are the prize for your industry, and for the distinction you have secured to your selves. (Cheers.) The PRINCIPAL then said the next pupils who had dis tinguished themselves were in the Middle School; and the first prize had been awarded to Joules Seddon, who was twelve and a half years of age. (Applause.) The Cl/AIRMAN, in addressing the young gentleman, said—James Seddon, to you also I am not to present a book, but a certificate granted to you by the Institution upon your obtaining the scholarship which has been founded by Mr. Potter. This is a distinction which does you very great credit. I understand t hat half the school are older than your self; it must be, therefore, by superior diligence and atten tion to your studies that you have obtained this distinction. I hope you will value it as you ought ; and I hope also, you will take care it is not wrested out of your hands so long as you have the power of presenting yourself for it. I hope you will not slacken in your exertions, but that, having obtained it upon the first occasion, will be such a stimulus as shall in. duce you 10 take care you will keep it now you have got it (Loud cheers.) The PRINCIPAL then► introduced class Webster, of the third The CHAIRMAN said, Webster, you present your. self to claim the :need of your exertions in receiving two prizes, which I have great pleasure in presenting to you— the one for your examination in the divinity department of the schools, and the other for your general proficiency in the 3d class. Both these prizes have fallen to your share on the Present occasion. I hardly know in what way I can address You differently to the way in whiehl have addressed , hose before you. You stand here, having gained a character which I hope you will maintain so long as you remain in the school. It is very gratifying to those who are connected with all the boys who have received prizes to find they have commenced their career well; and I hope and trust, though they cannot perhaps always be expected to maintain the exact position they have now gained, they will not, any of them, slacken in those exertions which have placed them in the situation which they now fill. (Cheers.) The PRINCIPAL then called Hornby, of the fourth class, whom he descrilml as a very promising youth. The CHAIRMAN said—You, Hornby, I understand, have come up before your turn. in consequence of your hav- ing succeeded not only in obtaining the prize for general pro ficiency in the 4th class, to which you belong, but you have also obtained the first mathematical prize in the school, which has been presented by Mr. Brown, the head master of the mathematical school, for general competition. Tide is very creditable to you—that you should have obtained it; it is creditable to you that several of you should have ob tained two prizes, because it really does show your general attention to your studies—that they are not confined to one particular branch, but that your general attention to study is such that you will find in future life most necessary if you wish to maintain the position you have arrived at here. It is, Vsay, very creditable to you that, being a boy in the 4th class, you should succeed in the general competition for the first mathematical prize. Ido not know whether you are intended for the University or not; but having gained now, and obtained, the first mathematical prize, I Would observe that should it be your lot to go to the University of Cambridge, you will find there a wide field for carrying on tho, , e studies. which you hare commenced with so much credit here—that you may look forward, should it be the case that your pro gress at the University be the same, to he ranked among those distinguished charhcters who have earned to themselves so much honour in the country. (Loud cheers.) The PRINCIPAL nest introduced Wilkes, of the second class, the successful competitor for the historical prize. The CHAIRMAN addressing Wilkes, said to him, I have the pleasure to present to you two sets of books, the one for the first prize in your class, and the other for the general historical prize. Now, I would observe, that history is a study which is very important for those boys whose desti nation in life may be generally supposed, from the station they hold here—that is from the station in which they have been placed here by their parents. I find you are from the Middle School. In these times of general knowledge there. is hardly any branch of it which is more desirable for per sons in your class of life, than to obtain a thorough know ledge of history. It will give you a knowledge of ►nen as well as of facts; it will enable you to form accurate judg- ments of passing events, to compare them with for mer times, which is always a pleasing study, and may be made exceed ingly useful. I would advise you, therefore, to contiune the pursuit of it, for it will be a source of great gratili^-' yourself—not only as a means of obtaining ' also as an amusement. (Loud Cheers.) The PRINCIPAL then put fort- Pearce, Overend, ilaram, Thomas Gibson, Benson, and Leather, whose progress he briefly d escr ib e d . The Cum tt.mAN.—To you, boys, I n u) a l so to present the books—the volumes—that arc allotted to you for your pro gress in your different classes, and for havin g placed your selves at the head of them in the examination. y ou , Pearce, have not only done that, but I see you have also obtained t h e fi rst French prize. Now I understand that in the study and as the whole learn it, your corn of French there is as much competition as in the other branches, because ail the boys learn it; it is a branch that is generally taught, therefor, it is not liLe German or Italian field, consequently' which iietit r 7 h r a yf i c i Lh: m a , r , t i t J et. you have inure merit in having placed yourself at the head. I h ope a ll o f you will remember that this is only the beginning. of career—that as you place yourselves now, so wore will be expected from you; you will he l oo k e d up to ns an example to the rest, and if you wi s h t o c ont i nue i n that honourable distinction you have already acquir e d f or yourselves, you must use your utmost exertions to ret a i n i t. your (Loud cheers.) The PRINCIPAL next put forward— Roberts, the suceess• ful competitor in the Lower School for the first Molyneux .t ion to knowledge but td five boys, name holarehip, and for the Divinity prize, given by the Rev. the Principal of the Institution. The CHAIRMAN.—We have now gone through the two upper schools, and got to the lower one, and I would make this observation in starting, that though there are three difivrent schools, and the lower school comes up the last, yet there is .the same distinction and the same merit due to those boys who have distinguished themselves in the lower school as to those who have distinguished themselves in the upper; because you will remember, boys, all of you, that in the exami nation which you have now gone through, and the places )ou have gained for yourselves in the examination, the merits are all comparative. You have contended with those who ought to have the same degree of knowledge with yourselves ; t he competition is the same relatively in the different schools, though the subjects which are embraced in the examination, of course, are higher the higher you go in the schools. Still, however, it requires the same exertion upon the part of yOu boys in the lower school, to place yourselves in a command ing position, that it does in any of the boys in the upper schools to take the lead in the;r schools. I have to present you first of all, therefore, with this certificate, which is a proof that von have gained the first scholarship established by Mr. Edmund Molyneux, and also with a book for having obtained the first prize in your school in divinity. The scholarship is a substantial reward ; the hook is more of an honorary one— both are equally creditable to your exertion. I will not say to your talents and abilities. because those are things which are not dependent upon yourself; but I say to your exertion. It is not always the boy who has the best talents that con trives to place. himself in the highest place: it requires a proper exertion of . those talents to do what you have done, and I hope you will continue in the same path. (Cheers.) The PRINCIPAL then called up Atkinson and Yates. The CIIAIRMAN.—I have the pleasure of giving to you this certificate. You, Atkinson, it seems, have obtained the second scholarship established by Mr. Molyneux in this school ; and to you Yates, I have to give a book for having obtained the first historical prize. It is creditable to you to have placed yourselves in these distinguished situations. I hope you will not forget you have been there, but that you will use your utmost exertions to keep the place, and not to allow others to pass you in the race. There .are many who will contend with you. I hope you will secure what you have already obtained. (Great Applause.) The PRINCIPAL then called up Johnston, Gaulhoon, Butler, and Rimier, and introduced them to the Chairman with a few observations. The CHAIRMAN said—You four boys, I have to present a book to each of you, for having placed yourselves in the first examination at the head of your respective classes. You are all very young. You are beginning well, and it is always a happy thing when the first step is right. The prize is an en couragement to yourselves to proceed in this way, to inspire you to exertion. You find what attention to your studies has enabled you to do now, and with that knowledge you surely will not allow yourselves to go back. Your motto always should he " forward !" (Cheers These are the last prizes which I have to present; but I understand that there are other boys whose names will he read over, who, though they have not succeeded in obtaining the first prize in their classes, have yet had a large proportion of relative merit, and have been placed in the second degree in their respective classes. To them, therefore, I would observe, and indeed I would make the observation to the whole of those who have suc ceeded in obtaining prizes upon the present occasion—l would observe to them, that they must not expect to hold the place they now occupy, unless they can keep up the same attention, the same industry, and pursue their studies with the same zeal, which they have hitherto done. (Cheers.) The com petition is now a large one, for I find from the return made to me that there are in the schools novibefore as 445 boys, in addition to which there are 200 in the evening school, with which we have nothing to do now, making altogether 645 boys receiving education within these walls. And in that number of 445, you must all of you remember that there are many boys who, if they do not go forward, will be treading upon your heels—there are many boys, if they have that whole some ambition which is most desirable in all whoare commen cing to gain knowledge, what they have seen this day, the dis tinctions they have seen given to several of their 'school fellows, will urge them to additional exertion to pass you in the race, and to take your places from you. Now this is a competition you must expect will be always going on ; and you, therefore, who have obtained prizes must remember that you may have greater difficulty in holding your situation during the next half year than you have had now. The system of the school is getting more and more matured; the numbers, we trust, and have reason to believe, will be continually in creasing. The field of competition, therefore, will be wide, and unless you exert yourselves, you must not expect to remain where you are. I would, therefore, urge upOn you the greatest diligence in your future studies. You are now going to retire for that relaxation which it is necessary that all minds should have at certain times, to enable them to do justice to those pursuits in which they are engaged ; and you will, I trust, return to your studies again, with the determination to exert every nerve to hold the situations you now fill. (Cheers.) To you boys who have not been successful in the present con test, I hope you will not allow that to act as any disappoint ment, but that it will rather operate as a stimulus to your future exertions. It is within the reach of any of you to distinguish yourselves, if you earnestly apply to your stu dies. You must remember that talent alone will not do it. No doubt, among so many, there are varieties and degrees of ability and of talent ; but, like everything else in this world, distinctions of different sorts, and powers of different sorts, are spread abroad in different degrees; and it very often happens, it very commonly takes place, that a real exertion of industry and of attention will do more than talent itself, for talent, like every other gift of God, may be thrown away. (Bear, hear.) I would here make one observation, which I neglected to make in opening the business of distri buting the prizes, and which is particularly gratifying to the directors of the Institution to be informed of—and that is. that I cannot speak too highly of the state of discipline—a state . of discipline that will lead on to better things. There must be a well-regulated mind to ensure a boy success in life ; and there must be a well-regulated system to ensure success in schools like these. lam very happy, therefore, in having to report from the masters, that they are thoroughly satisfied with the state of discipline—that it is quite equal to what they could possibly expect. (Hear, hear.) There has not been a great time for progress; and the first quarter was one in which necessarily a go - od deal of confuaiontook place in arranging the new schools ; but I understand they have been most satisfactory, and that the examination which took place at the end of the quarter has fully answered the expec tations the masters had formed. Upon this I think 1 may safely congratulate you and the. publie_at large on the esta blishment of this Institution, as a great experiment, if I may use the term : it is provided to meet a great desideratwu ; it has been the means of providing education for all the differ ent classes of society in this great and populous town. Not one of them is shut out; and therefore it only remains for those who are wise, (I ern speaking of parents,) and who have the interests, the real interests, of their children at heart, to ; take advantage of it. It is not in many of the towns in the kingdom where they have the same opportn nity ; and I hope that, whilst you boys will not slacken in yonr exertions here, they will not be slack in securing their children the advantages which an Institution like this has the means of commanding. (Loud cheers.) The PRINCIPAL then read over the names of those boys who had distinguished themselves in the examination, although they bad not gained the first prizes. Each pupil stood up and made . • an obeisance as his name was mentioned by the rev. gentleman. In the Upper School, the Rev. Gentleman said, there were several who had not obtained prizes there in consequence of the small size of the classes, but who had yet done extremely well, and to whom therefore the Institution would, in some cases, present certificates that they had acquitted themselves well, and that they had honourably distinguished shemselves. Among these were Hodgson sen., Hodgson jun., and Booker. There were also the following additional prizes in the Upper School,—namely, the Second Divinity prize to Wm. Jones, and the Second Historical prize to Samuel Smith; also the French prize to Duncan, and the Writing prize to Edward Cumming. He. now came to the Middle School. In the Middle School the first prize had been awarded in the first class to W. Davidson ; in the second class to Wilks, but which could not be given to him, in consequence of the rule of the Institution preventing any one scholar having more than two prizes. The second prize in the third class to Skerrett ; in the fourth to Smith ; in the fifth to Hebson ; in the sixth to Baylis ; in the seventh to Hall ; and the eighth to INl`Connan. The following boys would also receive certificates of having acquitted themselves creditably,—Conway, Leake, R. J. Taylor, M`Quie, Widdowson, and Orme. He now came to the extra prizes in the Middle School, which he had not men tioned before. For the Mathematical and Arithmetical prizes there were four names.—Leather, sen., 3, Roberts, Hitch man, and Brownhill. In the French prizes, besides the first already mentioned, there were C. Baldwin, Rogers, and Abbott; in the Drawing prizes, Harbord, Bell, Grindrod, and Bailey ; and in the Writing prizes. Ilaram Wilson, Pearson, and Inman. M r . Wilson and Mr. Fiume had kindly granted prizes for superior proficiency in English and the Classics, which had been adjudged—the Classcal prize to C. Seddon, and the English prize to Harbord. Now he came to the Lower School, and he read the names of the boys who had gained the second prizes in the first class, the second Historical prize, the Arithmetical prize, and the Writing prize.—The Rev. Principal then retired amidst much cheering. The CHAIRMAN then said—Now, boys, before we con clude the business of the day, I . should wish to say a few words. I have principally confined my observations to you. They have principally related to you, and to your conduct ; but we must not allow the day to pass, and I should not be per forming the duty which the Committee have delegated to me, if I did allow it to pass, without calling to your recollection, and bringing to. your attention, the great advantages w hi c h you enjoy in these schools, in the talent which has been se cured to you by the Committee from the masters who have been !Aimed over you. Their time has been devoted in your improvement.; their talents have been exercised for your good ; and they have shewn an earnest zeal in the discharge of their onerous duties by the regular attention which they have paid to you, and even by the institution of prizes them selves, in order to promote among you that wholesome competition which ought to exist in all schools. The com mittee, therefore, would not think that the duties of the day were well performed, unless they offered their grateful ac knowledgements to the Principal and to the masters generally —(loud cheers)—for their attention to the schools and to 1 . you. (Renewed applause.) And I would observe, as to yourselves, that the greatest proof that you can give of the obligations which you are under to th em f or i nstruct i ng you, and teaching you, and bringing you up in a way which will make you creditable membersare of that large s oc i e ty i n th e world t you intoa can passing from scho o l,—th e b es t re r them is by an a tt en ti ve o b servat i on hi k y e ou to of all they require, anti an earnest and due dili gence i n re ceiving the instructions which they give to you. (Cheers.) The Rev. the PRINCIPAL then said, it h a d b een suggeste d to him, by the worthy chief magistrate of this great town, whose presence there represented the feeling entertained by the public of the usefulness of the Institution—(cheers)—that he (the Principal) should express, in the name of time other masters in the first p l ac e, and likewise in the name of the whole institution, the gratification which they felt towards the reverend the senior Rector of this town for having so kindly performed the duty of supplyi ng t h e p l ace of the Bishop of the diocese on this occasion. It wou ld no t b e f or him (the Principal) to speak his sense of the manner in which the Rector had performed that duty. (Cheers.) There could but be one feeling upon that subject—(hear, hear)—and he would, therefore, simply offer him their warmest thanks, and, perhaps he should add, the thanks of every person present—(hear, hear) —for the manner in which he had dis charged the duties of the office. (Loud cheers.) Mr. BROWN, the Head Master of the Middle School, begged to second time proposal of the worthy Principal, and in so doing, added his testimony e s to t h e exceeding good conduct which had prevailed in th e sc h ools during the past half year. The conduct of the boy's had given great satisfac tion to all the ma sters. The motion was carried by acclamation. Mr. Rector BROOKS : — ]laving; occupied so much of your attention already. I would say but a very few words more, particularly as „ lo rds myself. I have to thank you for the testimony which you have been pleased to bear to any little exertion of mine up?n the present occasion, a n d t o assure you that from the first .institution of th ese sc h oo l s I have taken a lively and carnes . t . interest their succes s ; an d every thing which I have xvial.:3ed si nce t h e i r commenceme n t leads me to hope amlexpcct that th e great object with which they were originally founded will be ultimately carried out. (Cheers.) - The Rev. time PaIN CIPAL then said the proceedings would conclude according to time tilmmer in whi c h th ey were com menced, by the pupils:chaunting T o Deans This ven,table.hymn was then chaunted in an impressive style, after which Mr. Rector Brook s dissolved the meeting, and the vast assembly dispersed, highly gratified with the proceedings. The prize books presented to the successful competitors cousisted of standard English works; they were all superbly bound, richly alit, and on tlia.vhfck of each, was attelegant design, beneath which was . inscribed the appropriate motto of the Institution—" Non seltitii ingenii verum etiam vir tutis." Inside an impression from en engraved plate was placed, on which were the words. ",This prize is presented by the Liverpool Collegiate InstitutiOn, to 1843."

THE BUM AND THE LAWYER.—TiIe, fOBOWinc.• 'curious anecdote is related in the Cheltenham Examiner, of a gen tleman of time legal profession practising within the circuit of that town, who was more conversant with the theory of flnents than with Arebbold's Reports or Blacksto . Commentaries. Being sorely pressed by the relentless di who wished to present certain loving epistles from Queen Victoria, he was regularly run to earth in his two-pair. back, which he denominated Pantile lodge. There he rested, setting the fates and John Doe at defiance for a considerable time. though they knew very well where the ;acne lay, yet failed in every atteumt„ uppn him. To all kind messages the reply of the scout was "Gone into the country." PreSents from the country sent as a ruse were returned, imlited "Gone" " Run away," " Not found," and other equally agreeable and satisfactory solutions of the problem. The tender of a couple of six and eightpences, so dear to lawyers' eyes, was virtuously resisted; our hero bore this state of siege with a constancy which had done honour to General - Chasse himself, and the bailiffs were regularly at fault. Matters continued in this state for vome time, when one day, shortly after noon, a gentle man—a wealthy grazier in appearance—country-built ton, broad brim, and abundance of broad cloth—was seen walk ing leisurely up street; he stopped short a door with the word " Office" tly.n.eon, knocked, and his Inquiry of the scout, "Mr. within ?" was responded to by the usual answer, " Gone into the country." " Dear me, that's un fortunate; I wanted particularly to consult him (and pulling out a neat bundle, hound with .red tape) ; but perhaps you could write to him, if we cOUld get an answer to-morrow ; if not, I must go over to Mr. " Stop a minute'," says the scout ; " I'll just take the brief to the upper'Office, and our manager shall look it over." " Oh, oh (thought the grazier) ; here we are, are we ?" The parcel was put into the hands of the scout, who immediately posted up to the office. In the twinkling of a bedpost, the grazier had eased himself of his ponderous boots, and was creeping tiptoe up stairs; and, in a moment more, a gentle tap on the shoulder convinced Mr. that he was unearthed at last, and the brief required very brief examination. That very night Mr. removed from Pantile lodge to very fashionable and commodious apartments in the county town. So, it seems sometimes the oldest birds may be caught with chaff. IRELAND IN MO.—Soon after his arrival from France, King James met his parliament in Dublin, on 7th May, which was composed of Papists, who were slaves to his will, many of them descendants of the forfeiting persons of 1641, who had no freehold estates in the kingdom, and made many fine promises to them. The parliament, recognised the title of King James, and declared King William an usurper. They repealed the settlement of 1662, under which many thousands of Protestants had purchased possessions, and were now suddenly deprived of them : this was violently pul ling dawn the palß of the law, in a manner never fore heard It wounded nn- of-among the professors of Christianity tional faith, and stabbed public eredi at home, and defrauded him abroad t—nroke the merchant —ruined the farmer, and impoverished the mnnufactur mob, deprived the Protestants of all their and the parliament deprived them of all their la ove,ble estates; mews, which they had wonderfully improved. By this act King James seemed to justify the grand Irish rebellion in 1641 ; and this was followed by an act of attainder, which ex- ceeded the proscriptions of Sythi! need of rebel- lion no ,ess than 83 clergymen, and 2,233 gentlemen, who were traitors, and their estates coati II declared ated or plonderet; connel had £20,00( _ _ estates, and the King the same per month. Many hundred of poor persons were murdered in cold blood by the popish soldiers, while the rich were robbed of their estates, and th popish priests enabled to collect the tithes, which we able by papists.

Public robberies were committed under the name of five guar terings, and, though protections were sold to the Protestants, they were disregarded by the Papists. The University of Dublin was turned into a garrison, and all the public schools in the kingdom given to Papists, who likewise seized upon all the Protestant churches. The Protestants were at length forbid to assemble together on pain of death, so that it seemed determined to hang one-half of them and to starve the other. But while they silf.ved so much from the parliament of Ireland, their protection was not neglected by the parlia ment of England, who made Irish affairs a considerable article of their proceedings.—Old History. The Auckland Times is described as being " printed in a mangle," and a strange piece of typography it is accordingly. The "sole editor and proprietor, Henry Falwasser," while, in the meantime, taking to himself the humble cognomen of the " Old Lady of the Mangle," expects daily his own press and materials; when, doubtless, the old lady will dispose of her mangle, and purchase something more useful fur a print ing office. The style of the Mangle is quite sui gesieris. It may be observed, that the occasion of is being printed by such a machine is stated by the editor to have been the at tempt of the local government to stifle public opinion, by re fusing the proprietor the use of the only printing inatedals in the settlement, those of the government, as soon as it was perceived that the Times was determined to be very inde pendent in its strictures on public doings and inisduings. The phrases suggested by the peculiar circumstance arc very . amusing—" Westop the Mangle to announce the arrival of the St. George."—" The Governor will repent having driven us to the Mangle," &c. We have only room for one charac teristic description :—" Full many a time and oft have we laughed over the distresses of Mantaliiii and his maiwle, as depictured by the inimitable Boa—we did not think this pro cess would so soon fall to our turn—nevertheless any one. of our subscribers, who is desirous of satisfying his curiosity, may call in at High-street and see the Times MANGLED. To here and there one, such as are steady and careful, we might entrust the task of mangling their own copy, but the process is a nice one, and must be as warily performed as if the ' es sential juice of the pine-apple' herself were standing over the performer. Poor Mantalini used to grumble very distaste fully over his mangle, and nothing but the threatened alter native of enlisting, and all the horrors of pipe-clay and paste blacking, as could keep him steadily to his duty ; but we have no such fastidious distinctions : we consider our mangle an ingenious and an honourable triumph Over us contemptible and sneaking attempt to stltla the press as ever was perpe trated ; and when we are enabled, by the arrival of the Sham rock from Sydney, to return in triumph to the full-blown honours of a Columbian or an Albion patent, we shall part, almost with a tear of regret, from- the ponderous revolver which has so efficiently mangled our sheets, and other people's would-be despotism, at one and the same time. The typo graphy embraces. Sometimes within a single paragraph, almost every specimen in the printer's book. Brevier, nonpareil, large Roman, and italics, mingle together to give force ;Ind variety, not only to successive syllables of the same word; and the want of the small k, in particular, obliging the printers in every place, to make use of the larger Roman K, adds strikingly to the appearance of the page, even although the compositor may be said to be thus reduced to play for ever upon the same KEY.

It appeared from the evidence that• the deceased was an upholsterer residing at No. 1, -Hatfield-place, West minster-road, and that about eleven o'clock on Monday SUICID night last deceased was found by his son suspended by a rope from a hook in the kitchen ceiling. He was quite cold, and had evidently been dead several hours. Two papers were found pinned on his back. On one of them was written in his _own handwritino- '' , "The victim of neglect and base cruelty. Wretches l Let your mercenary hearts look at your own doings." The wri t i ng on the second paper purported to be a letter to the coroner and ran thus:—" Shameful ill treatment is the caus e of this. Let them glut their eyes with the sitght of my carcase. Let the wretches have it to make tp or, or roast, or broil, after it has been used for scientific Purposes. They have brought me to an untimely end, a man who, with proper treatment, would have been a respectable men:ber of society." The coroner, after reading the fore going, obser ve d th at there could be no doubt an to the dis ordered state of deceased's mind. Several witnesses were of discovering Who the persons diuded in the above cause of grievance YYL/ could be ascertained, except that of abuse from some neigh bours in consequence of deceased's drunken habits, he being hardly ever sober. The Jury, after a few moments delibera tion, returned a verdict of "Temporary insanity." t hart DEARUCTIVE FIRE IN COMUS-STREET. P° Ou l t ice o - f perceived E ncl .

Meantime police-officer Holding, (307,) who lives in the n eighbourhood, and had been called up about a quar ter before two o'clock, got to the ground, and then found the place almost in a general blaze, the flames bursting from the windows of the three lower stories—such was the o om _ bustible nature of the materials within. He got the pl ugs all ice readiness for the engines, and as there was a good sup_ ply of water from the mains in that quarter, but for the great rapidity of the fire its progress might have been arrested. When, however, Mr. Hewitt reached the ground, such was its intensity within the building, that it was deemed practicable only to confine it to the works in which it origi_ nated, and to save the adjacent buildings, in Comus-street and Bent-street. The interior of the soap works was com pletely burnt down, with nearly all its valuable contents. The roof of Mr. Cooban's brewery, which is separated frets the soap-works by a narrow cart passage, had caught foe from the (south) gable end windows of the latter, and this was by great exertions kept down, otherwise the whole a the upper story of two being the cooling-room, with blind windows of wood—would have been consumed, and in all probability the public-house also.
