The Rev. James Fisher, in presenting the souvenir,
alluded in very kind terms to the respect which Mr.
Cooper had on for Wawa by his uniform kind
and courteous bearing. and stated that the course of
conduct which be had pursued would reflect credit
on himself and also upon the school over which be
had the honour to preside. Mr. Cooper, in reply,
thanked them very sincerely for the honour they
had done him, and said it was a great pleasure to
him to think that during the time he had
been with them he had pined their approbation
and esteem, and he hoped their kindness that day
would stir him up to renewed efforts, so that he
might further gain their approbation and their con-
fidence. Loud and hearty cheers were then given
for Mr. and him Cooper, after which the party

Gourran's PANORAMA. —This jcstly-celebrated
panorama was exhibited on Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday evenings last, at the Townhall. The at-
tendance on the first occasion was not so numerous
as could be wished, which might, no doubt, be
accounted for by the inclement state of the weather.
The attendance, however, on the other evenings
was very large, the hall being crowded to excess
The public cannot fail to appreciate M. Gm:opens's
panorama of Italy, both on account of its artistic
beauty and the truthfulness with which it conveys
to the minds of the beholders those places and per-
sons that have become conspicuous by the late war
in Italy. The late Albert Smith's panorama of the
Rhine is also • great attraction, and we think will
prove itself a favourite with the public at large.
We can highly recommend the panorama to our
readers,and we think it is likely to ;rove as successful
in meeting the tastes of the public as the panoramic
illustration of the mutiny in India. In consequence
of the inconvenient nights on which M. Goniperts
exhibted his panorama, he kindly extended his stay
till yesterday (Monday), in order to give those per-
eons who were unable to attend on the previous
evenings an opportunity of withering his panorama.
