FEMALE SCHOOL OP •RT.

The annual distribution of prizes to the students
In thin school took plane on Tuesday, at Budiritton'houn,
under the presidency of Lord HOUGHTON.
Professor DONALDSON reed a lengthy report from which it
appeared that the operetioos of the school were programing
in the most satisfactory manner.
The CHALDEAN thee presented the prims, which consisted
of medals, books, certifioates of merit, and national
medallions. The last mentioned being the most important
of the prises, the names of the recipients may be mentioned.
They were as follows : —Miss Katharine Ham, Mies Alice
Manley, Miss Mary Judy's, Miss Sarah Macgregor (two
primed, ma Ann Coster, and Miss Charlotte
Lord Hoootrron then addressed the mooting in a speech,
milling attention to the satisfactory working of the instils-
too, and congratulating its promoters and supporters upon
the promise it gave of ioereased somas& It was most grati-
fying to find that the designs exhibited by the students
were not fantastic specimens of art, but were of such a cha-
ncier as to show that their sole desire was to combine
nature and imagination for the development of that highest
prospect of the human mind which was called art. The
progress of this institution proved that the female sax of
this country wartime* and more acquiring that Independent
position which it was most advisable in point of aivilisetios
that they shield enjoy. They were now arriving at a con-
dition in the social soak which would enable them to work
out their own subsisteoce, and thus lay the foundation of
tits domestic virtues, and of those principles which pro-
moted the general welfare of the country. By being placed
is this position women would have the opportunity of
laying', foundation for the happinam of their future homes,
for the children they might have to educate, and the hus-
band they might have to please. He could not help remark•
ins that these had been au unwillingness on the pert of the
men to give.* women Usti:due in this matter ;and boleti it his

fact that the own wore allowed to mss a rest for their arm,
by which their labour was diminished, and tho Magmas of
the work•simpliflad ; whereas the women were obliged to
work without a rest, and the effect of this disadvantage was
to prevent them from competing in honest labour with the
opposite oar. Ha did not by any moans desire that any
sentimental favour should be shown to the female sex in
these -mattes of competitive occupation ; but he must
enter his protest against any system which did
not allow to women the ante advantages which
were extended to men. He trusted that the time
was not far &Mast when the women of this man-
