rleatei to the Weft of Chairman. On Tuesday some of
the committee were busy inspecting the district in order
to determine as to the hmt position for the lamps,

charitably dealt with in respect to the lamps, as in some
instances those who turned their head. against it will
have a light placed clams to their portal. We are glisd
to bear that the work of outing the lamp-pastel, not to
be taken from the island, but is intrusted to • firm on

KOVAL SCHOOL FOR D•I:7OHTERS 01 OTYICERS Or
THI ARYT.—This excellent institution which is
established at Lansdowne, near Bath, for educating, at
a reduced wet, the daughters of officers of the army
of the United Kingdom, is worthy of greet attention,
as it. efforts are to promote, with 'soonest advan-
tage, the adman= of young ladies whose father
belongs, or has belonged, to the army. We observe
that an election of eight pupils, at £l2 per annum,
will take place at the office, 29, Corthopurmtreet,
London, 8.W., on the 12th proximo, and that it is
requested that the voting papora be returned to this
office at least seven days previous to the day of
election. We also observe that are 34 candidates
for slain= of which number nine are "strongly
recommended" to the committee. Each donation to
the school of £5 tn. entitles the donor to one life
vote, and each annual subscription of 10s. fed. to
coe vote. The committee earnestly appeal for further
contributions, without which they will be unable
to admit more pupils into the school.
