THIS DAY.

The annual examination of the chidren in this
1 school took place this morning, at the institution in the
Borough-road, Lord John Russell presiding. At the eon-
elusion of the ceremony, the 48th anniversary meeting was
held on the same premises, Lord John Russell in the chair,
supported by Earl Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Wahlegrave,
Mr. Evans, M.P., Dr. Lushington, Mr. Samuel Gurney, die.
The proceedings commenced with the reading of the re-
port, which stated:
That the society was in circumstances highly favourable
to Be prosperity and permanence. The annual subscrip-
tions had greatly increased during the year. The model
schools were full and efficient ; 1,000 children were in daily
attendance, and 26 pupil teachers had been apprenticed. The
normal schools had been in v igorous operation; 116 y ming men
and 134 young women had attended the classes. Of the entire
number-250--no less than 153 had been appointed to
schools. Difficulty was still felt in obtaining candidates
who were sufficiently educated. 54 new schools had been
opened, providing accommodation for 7,000 children; 81
grants of material had been made to schools, either at home
er in the colonies; 22 r.egred schools had been assisted; 24
schools had been supplied by temporary masters during the
illness or otherwise necessary absence of the teacher.
The inspection of schools had been diligently carried. n
throughout the couutrt•, and public met,iners had been held
for the diffusion of education. 336 visits of inspection had
been made in London and the immediate neighbourhood ;
437 towns and villages had been visited by the agents of
the society, and 58 public meetings had been convened and
well attended. In the district of Lancashire alone more than 80
teachers were labouring who had been trained by the society.
In this district 30 schools had accepted government pupil..
The depository and publication department hod prospered,
the amount of sales being very cansiderable. The schools
generally were regarded as Nourishing; provident funds and
savings' banks were spn•ading amongst them. A strong
opinion in favour of the working of government aid was given
by all who had accepted it. The foreimt opera,:ona of the sr
mety had been extensive. Schools half been aided in Canada,
the West Indies, South Africa, Mauritius, .he East Indies,
Australia, and the South Seas. The expenditure of the
society still exceeded its income, 011 which ground an ear-
nest appeal for new subscriptions was founded. The ad.
vantage of government aid, as stimulating and not depress-
ing voluntary efilirt, was powerfully urged, and the scrip
tural character of the instruction afforded lay the society
was prominently brought forward. The society's income
during the year amounted to 12,9631. 9s. Bd., and the ex-
penditure to 13,125/. 18s. But, as more than 2,0001. of
income had been derived from the receipt of legacies, the
necessity for increased donations and subscriptions was
obvious.

Dr. Lt. SHINGTON moved the adoption of the report,
and said he was old enough to remember the foundation of
this excellent institution. When the attempt was first
made to spread education amongst the lower orders of the
people, it was met by a Hat denial of the necessity of such a
proceeding ; the originators of the movement were threat-
ened, if they succeeded in their undertaking, with conse-
quences the most destructive; but not only had they pros-
pered in their endeavours, but those who were for.ncrly
opposed to them had now become their supporters.
The Earl of WALDEGRAVE seconded the motion,
which had not been put .rom the chair when our report left.

EMIGRATION FROM SOUTH WALES.—A large num-
ber of the beat and most efficient workmen connected with
the mining and iron districts of Ithyuiney,fibienarrun. and
B:aina are about to leave the country in the course of a very
few weeks, intending to embark as emigrants for the
United States. Vessels are continually sailing from the
I various ports in South Wales with emigrants, and ere long
a large body of Latter-slay Saints will rind their way, it is
said, to Bristol, Liverpool, and other outports, for the pur-
-1 pose of emigrating to the great Mormon city or settlement
on the banks of the Great Salt Water Lake. Many of
these Mormonites are employed in the iron districts of
Glamorganshire, and comprise some of the best and most
experienced workmen.
A MAN 1)Kon NED IN ATTEMPTING TO RESCUE
A Boy —A melancholy circumstance has just occurred near
Port Penrhyu, Bangor. Owen Thomas, mate of the ship
Dove, went, accompanied by a boy, in a boat to raise the
anchor of his vessel. The chain proved too heavy for the
boat, which cap.ited. The shore was not fur distant, and
the man could have saved himself, but dived for the boy,
and held him up until he himself sunk, it is supposed from
crimp and exhaustion. Several boats were speedily pushed
off to their rescue : the boy was saved, but the bode of
Thomas was not recovered until three hours after. The
pour fellow has left a wife sad family.
