MWICIUMTEK

The distribution of the prises and certificates,
awarded to the successful candidates at the recent examine-
ties held in Manchester, took place yesterday afternoon at
the hands of the Lord Bishop of Manchester, in the lecture
theatre of the Royal Manchester Institution. There was •
very numerous attendance on the occasion, a large propor-
tion being ladies. Among those present were the Mayor,
Mr. Fairtairn C.E; Dr. Somerville, Mr. Angell, and Fro
!wear Greenwood.
. .

The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings,
maid be accepted the invitation to preside on this occasion
with much pleasure, not only from • sense of duty and
because he felt bound to support any movement so impor-
tant as this, but because he considered himself peculiarly
called upon in this instance to bear his testimony to what
our on with respect to the present movement. As
one educated at a public school, es one who for many years
presided over a most important public school, and who bad
takes a very large interest in the educational movements of
the mantry, he could not refrain from avowing his opinion
of the most satisfactory and most encouraging manner in
which the private schoolmasters of this neighbourhood bad
done their duty. (Hear, hear.) A perusal of the report led
him to the impression that nothing could be more
truly gratifying than the results which it presented. Know.
log that the purees now to be distributed would be given—
, at • wet of nearly 50i.—by the liberality of the school.
masters, he considered that we were much indebted to those
Ititern ; but when he went farther, and considered the
rp meat which had taken place in the proportion of
those who had been presenting themselves es candidates,
and still more in the proportion of those who had paced,
I be felt that they had conferred • benefit whisk would not
eerily be forgotten. (Cheers.)
The distribution of the honours awarded by the noire:.
city, end of the muss given by the schoolmasters, was then
proceeded with, after which the Bishop delivered as .derma
on the general features of the examination. His loreeip •
remarks were not concluded in time for despatch this
V. proceedings closed with • vote of thanks to the
Bishop for precept, proposed by Mr. Kendall and seconded
by Mr. W. air R.
