VICTO'ALL.W.

Yesterday a special general court of the members
of this moiety was held at the Bond-room of the School-
house, Resniegton-lana, for the purses of receivieg a re-
port from the governor and tenants*, as also for making
aortal* alterations in sections 33 and 41 of the rules, ordi-
nances, and bye laws, the chief object beteg the admission of
the children of members of provincial seeleties of the trade
te • participation of the bateau of the school.
Mr. T. WINTERROTHAM, of the Vpri„, Plant, Dover-
reed, Mph likslovernor of the society, corn the chair, and 'li-
the übjecta of the meeting.
The BICHRTARY (Mr. Smalley) then read the report,
which showed that after some constdershie deliberation, the
proposal for 'atoning the advantages of this institution to
children of members of provincial linseed victuallers' anode-
time had been adopted,which hitherto had been limited to the
incorporated society; and it woe believed that byeuchunans
a unity of purpose and combined action highly beneficial to
the licensed victualler of the kingdom, would be promoted.
It was evident that the expeocee of an establishment like that
of the licensed victuallers in Kenoingtorelene could not be
hone by any provincial society, and coemiquently the bard
of management of the incorporated society had come to the
conclusion to submit to the court to allow Kinard to be ad-
mitted upon the nomination of a recognised committee el •
provincial society d licensed victuallers upon payment from
such society of • sum of 181. pee annum for each child ad-
mitted, which Included clothing as well as board and edu-
cation, to be under the some regulatiose in even respect as
the rest of the children in that establishment; end the num-
ber of such children in the schools tromputheital societies to

solution beviog for its object, " rualrieg children

we also agreed to nem, con.
Oa the motion of Kr. thins, seconded by Mr. L. James,
the following was also unanimously adopted
"And provided further, that from and after the 6th dry
of October. 1839, the governor an committee for the time
being shall be empowered to place I the said school children
of members of any recognised provincial association of
licensed victualled in Boehm& each children to be no-
minated end recommended by the committee of every such
association. at au annual payment to be made by such com-
mittee, the amount of such annual payment to best the dis-
cretion of the governor end committee of the maid society for
the time being ; that the children so placed in the said school
shall be subject to the same rules and regulations as those

said school. And provided, lastly, that not more than thirty
children nominated and recommended by the committees of

the governor and committee for tee time being, shall be in

Mr. Poinan expreeeed his amoral of the arrangement
as regarded the admission of the provincial children, and felt
that the gum of 18/. per annum for each wee rather I. ,e then
he ex fed,' considering that such slum included clothing
as well se board and edemtiost. At the same time he hail
little doubt that each child thus admirod would produce two
or three life snbecriptione.
Masers. Rountree, Bit, end Oebb, expressed similar
opinions.
Mr. B. FOSTER suggested that arrangements 'tepid be
made to give advantages to priority of application from the
sevetal provincial societies, but this wee, after • brief discus-
don, determined to be left in the hands of ,the board of
Management for the time being.
The routine business having been concluded, the nodal
mart for confirmation was fixed to take place on Thnreday,
the 6th October next, prior to the ordinary nebula of the
quarterly court.
On the motion of Mr. KILBURN, seconded by Mr. B. B.
Watling, a vote of thanks wee unanimously passed to the
gadder and committee.
The GOVERNOR, In acknowledgment, unwed a bete
that the regulations they had made upon this occasion would
show they bad done something towards bolding out the
hand of fellowship to their provincial brethren.
A similar compliment having, upon the motion of Mr.
Carols, seconded by Mr. Fox, been unanimously paid to
the secretary,
Mr. Smattzt, in acknowledgment, recapitulated the cif-
cementing connected with the movement, and expressed a
hope that every possible aid would be given to forward the
wish of the Governor' viz., to make as many new members
ea possible during his year of anal, so by thus thereat
dog the circulation of the journal to promote the interests of
the charity.
The cnt was then adjourned.
