SOCIETY OF ARTS.
The " Societyfor the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures,
and Commerce', is a Metropolitan Association, of which his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort is the president, and with
which the Liverpool Institute, and upwards of 400 educational,
literary, and other institutions are connected, in efforts to'
advartco' their respective aims, and especially to supply
encouragements to systematic study for youths who have
quitted the day schools to engage in business pursuits. At•
the examination heldin Liverpool last May, 13 certificates
were obtained by nine candidates as follows, all the candidates
i
being from this instituter:— -John James Bew, third class in
logic ; Andrew Davidson. third class in arithmetic ; Timothy
Bran Eawards, second class in geometry ; Rowland Evans
0144 class in political and social economy ; James Griffiths,
third ClUas in logic ; George H. Neilson, third class in arith-
metic ; Yobs* M‘Millan Small, second class in aaithmetic and
geography ; rrederiek Smith, third class in geography,
English history, mid English literature ; Henry Warden,
third class in geography and English literature.
Mr. MAcKAY then. addressed the pupils in a suitable
speech, observing that, after the able address of Sir John
Bowring, he scarcely knew what to say to them. He con-
sidered an assembly like that—the distribution of prizes
to deserving students—one of the most-interesting that
could be attended, and proceeded to point out the great
benefits which arose from education, and said that, from
his experience, he had always found that those who .
were persevering and diligent in their studies at school,
became the best men and • the most successful in going
through the battle of life afterwards, and concluded by
uring the pupils on to increased exertions in their
stugdies, and by pointing out the benefits that arose to
them by competitive examinations.
The Rev. Mr. Stallybrass next addressed the pupils
upin the "culture of the heart," and was followed by
Professor Griffiths. Each of the gentlemen were
repeatedly cheered by the scholars in the appropriate
remarks they made to them.
Mr. GEORGE MELLY congratulated the boys upon
being dressed in the uniform of volunteers, as in their
training, as such, they woad be taught the duty of
obedience and attention to orders. Mr. Melly, at some
length, urged that, while the education of the tipper
classes was provided for by themselves, and the poorer
classes by public schools, the latter of whom progressed
most favourably, he thought that the subject of educa-
tion was not sufficiently attended to by the upper middle
classes.

after life they would become the ornaments of society.
Mr. ALSOP, as a parent, took exception to the remark
made by the last speaker, in reference to the "military
appearance of the boys."
F

and
thoughte did not
approve that
the
t
Institute was for educational purposes only, and hoped
that they would not be too much taken from their studies
by attending to their drill, to make them have a military
appearance. [These remarks were received by a storm
of hisses from the boys.]
Mr. Wm. RA.THBONE offered a few brief observations.
Mr. P. HxIWORTH said the board had at first objected
to the boys having the volunteer uniform; but petitions
came in such numbers from the boys for it, and backed
as they were by Mr. Wm. Brown, that they had at last
yielded their consent. (Applause.)
Mr. JOHN JENKINS,
,M.A., addressed the audience at
great length upon the importance of introducing into
our system of instruction the science of industrial
economy ; and, to illustrate its importance, referred to
the strike at Coventry, where he said families and a
whole community had been reduced to starvation in
consequence merely of a want of knowledge of the
resources of other nations interested in the art of silk
weaving.
Mr. JOHN SMITH, in talking of the spread which popular
education had made, referred to the fact that, forty
years ago, the Liverpool Corporation refused to give £5O
towards the establishment of the Liverpool Institute, in
order, as it was said, not to give power to the people.
Those times were now past, for the Town Council had,
only a few days since, contributed a thousand pounds
towards the festivities in connection with the opening of
the building for the Free Library, presented to the
people of• Liverpool through the munificence of Mr.
William Brown. At the conclusion of a long speech,
he proposed a vote by acclamation to Mr. Brown for the
Free Library, and his exertions on behalf of the work-
ing classes.
The audience rose en masse, and gave Mr. Brown
three hearty cheers.
Mr. BROWN, in returning thanks for the honour done
him, referred to the volunteer movement, repeating his
often-recorded opinion that it was beneficial to the volun-
teers, and rendered the country, with its commerce, se-
cure. Did he think that its influence was opposed to
commerce, learning, and goal morals, he would not, for
one moment, give it his support ; but he sincerelybelieved
that it was of the highest importance ; and therefore, he
had endorsed the application of the boys of the Liverpool
Institute. (Loud and long-continued cheers.) He spoke
at some length upon the importance of a practical edu-
cation, recommending and eulogising the decimal system,
and concluded by congratulating Sir John Bowring on
his return to England from the country of the Chinese.
Three cheers were again given to Mr. Brown on
resuming his seat.
He again got up, and in eulogistic terms proposed
a vote of thanks to the chairman for his conduct in
the chair.
Mr, Shell seconded the motion, in some appropriate
remarks, and the audience rose upon their feet and
accorded the vote of thanks heartily and vociferously.
Sir J. BOW RING, in returning thanks for the compli-
ment, expressed his pleasure at the happy nature of the
proceedings, dwelling upon the advantages and enjoyment
deriveable from the acquirement of a good education,
and the disadvantages attendant upon ignorance, con-
cluding by repeating the Chinese parable—" Useless the
gcm in the rock, worthless the mind untaught."
This concluded the meeting.

FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

A WOMAN KILLED.

On Friday afternoon, a most shocking accident
occurred on the London and North-Western Railway,
between Warrington and Earlestown. A poor woman
was crossing the line at the bottom of Vulcan
.Bank,
about half-past four o'clock, and, before she had tme to
get out of the way, was run over by an empty engine
from Preston. She was completely cut to pieces, and
her face so frightfully disfigured that no one has yet
been able to identify her. Indeed, nothing has been
found upon her to enable anyone to form the remotest
conception as to who or what she was, or where she
came from. Immediately upon information being
conveyed to Warrington, Dr. Davies was despatched,
but he could, of course, render no assistance, as the
poor woman was killed upon the spot.
The deceased was apparently a middle aged woman,
wore a plaid shawl, and strong lace-up boots, and from
her appearance was probably an Irish agricultural
' labourer. The body lies at an adjoining farm house,
awaiting the coroner's inquest.— Warrington Guardian.

GRAND BAZAAR IN AID OF THE

RAGGED SCHOOLS.

A grand bazar, in aid of the Industrial and Ragged
Schools, erected in Soho-street, will be opened to--day
in St. George's-hall. It will be a magnificent affair..
The number of contributions is something enormous ;
and the quality and beauty of each article is, we under-
stand, unsurpassed. From the social position of the
fair who have consented to preside at the stalls, and the
nobleness of the objects for which these efforts are being
made, we have no hesitation in premising that the re-
sult, in a monetary point of view, will surpass anything
ever effected in Liverpool. The bazaar will extend over
three days. The following donations have been made
by Messrs. Urquhart and Adamson, of Bold-street :—A.
beautifully fitted-up small Arabian bedstead of Italian
walnutwood, with silvered plato glass panels at head
and foot ; silk hangings, richly trimmed, with bedding,
S:c., all complete.—For sale at Mrs. Fletcher's stall. A
handsome Arabian mahogany doll's bedstead, with plate
glass panel at head; rich silk hangings, beautifully
trimmed, with mattresses, beading, &c., quite finished.—
For sale at Mrs. Pieton's stall.

SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS. —A grand concert
was given on Saturday evening in the Concert Hall,
Lord Nelson-street. The hall was as usual crowded to
excess, as the Mayor (T. D. Anderson, Esq.), William
Brown, Esq., William Rathbone, Esq., avid other well-
known local gentlemen were announced to be present.
Among the vocalists present were Miss Witham, a lady
whose popularity is rapidly increasing in this town, Mr.
and Mrs. Scarisbrick, and Miss Wynne. Mr. J. Skeaf,
jun., presided at the piano forte, and conducted the
entertainment with his usual taste, and, we may add, his
usual success. Before the latter portion of the concert
had began the several gentlemen mentioned above briefly
addressed the audience, commenting on the difficulties
which had to be overcome before these Saturday
eveeinc, concerts could be established on a successful
basis. 'Each of the speakers was listened to with atten-
tion by the large assembly; and there can be but little,
doubt that the concert was not only amusing but in-
structive to those who were preserit. It is now many
years since the project of establishing cheap Saturday
evening concerts for the working men was formed, and
since that time their popularity has been gradually in-
creasing. Those given at the Concert-hall havt.' gene-
rally stood foremost in the list; and, if conducted on the
same principle as hitherto, will, we doubt not, continuo
to improve their position, and to justify their motto—
"To make the mechanic a better man, the man a better
mechanic."
Da hm's!TituE SARSAPARILLA AND DANDELION PILLS.—
Certain Liquid Preparation of these drugs are vended as the
very best form in which to take them, but the public can con-
vince themselves of the fallacy of this, when informed that to
liquid preparation of any drug can be kept from fermenting,
unless Spirits be added, by doing which the medicinal proper-,
ties are entirely destroyed, the Blood is heated instead of being
cooled or purified, and the patient not only looses money, but
is deceived, and the ailment under which he is suffering gains
ground, frequently laying the foundation of disease which
shortens Life. The proprietor of Dr. Jebb's Sarsaparilla and
Dandelion Pills is the only maker, by Act of Parliament, under
Royal Letters Patent, who can prepare these two drugs, so
that they can be given as a pill. Wholesale Depot, T. Babbi
