Tie Catinsus. Fttrr.—Wity their Lordship' con-
templated sending the Channel Squadron off to Lisbon
jests few days before Christmas is almost more than
can be understood by many, unless It were done with
the full Intention of showing that neither the wi-bee
of officers or men nor their ralativea and friends should
be entertained. The one principal roma for the
squadron being usually ordered abroad for Christmas
Is, however, the amount of leave-breaking, followed
by deprivation of badges and imprisonment, which
bee so often resulted from Christmas leave at home.
The men of the Squadron cusnut, therefore, do better
than bear In mind that if they value the privilege of
being by their own firesides on this day, they must
show that they can withstand the temptations get in
their way amid the festivities of the OSSOOD, and can
return to their ships as weU at Portsmouth and Ply-
mouth seat Lisbon.

-71711—s Cougiacu ScsooL.—The pupils of this
establishment commenced their Christmas holidays on
Thursday, on which dity we had an opportunity
of viewing lame of the work done during the past
term. Cox showed some exoellent drawings which did
him great credit, whilst the drawings executed by
Mace 1., Hartwell 1,, Smith, Butt i., and Butt IL, all
showed that they had been carefully trained in that
Th useful branch of study. e mapping of the pupils
struck us as being especially creditable, the most
successful boys in this department being Cox, Gibbs,
Mace 1., Mace H., Batt L, White, and Hatton. All
the other work of the pupils was equally well done,
and it is evident from the excellent results obtained
that the boys had worked herd and perseveriorly
during the term. We believe there will be a public
distribution of prises, followed by an entertainment
by the pupils early next term, when no doubt those
who are interested in the important subject of educa-
tion will avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing
the excellent remits obtained by the pupils of this
