COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS SCHOOL.

The children of this institution passed through
their annual examination on Saturday, and the occasion
was, as on previous years, chosen by a large number of
friends and subscribers to go down to Pinner and enjoy a
fOr in the grounds. The visitors were mot upon the plat-
form by the brass band of the school, by whom they were
preceded up the road and received at the gate entrance•
The large hall was filled with scholars and visitors. The
I president for the day was the Rev. Mr. Suter, the pro-
posed bishop of New Zealand, and the examiner Mr. Saun-
ders, of the British and Foreign School Society. Questions
were asked and promptly and intelligently answered upon
history (chiefly English), geography, Latin and French,
lEnglish grammar, Scripture history and geography, and
1 arithmetic, Euclid and algebra. At intervals the boys and
girls sang part songs, and one girl sang two songs with a
voice so sweet and powerful and an execution so refined
that she created a complete sensation among the visitors.
After the examination Mr. Suter distributed the prizes
amongst them was a handsome desk, given by Mr.
George Moore to a girl who by taking all the prizes
last year was disqualified from competing again.
The inspector and other gentlemen expressed
themselves entirely satisfied with the attainments
of the scholars, which were really so advanced that not a
few grown-up persons had to confess the sorry figure they
would have made if tested in the same manner. After a
plain but merry luncheon in the dining-hall the company
were free to roam about the fragrant gardens and grounds
into the neighbouring hayfields, or to inspect the airy and
commodious building. Those who did this . must have
been convinced of the noble object of the insti-
tution, and the highly efficient management by
which each department is conducted. A glance at
the neatly clothed and happy looking boys and girls
afforded additional evidence of the gratifying way in
which the school answers the practical purpose of an or
phan's home. Amongst the company on Saturday were
several who were educated in the establishment, and who,
prospering in the world, now returned with delight to
visit the old school-house and playground, and receive a
hearty welcome from the old teachers. At present there
are 104 boys and 70 girls. During 1845, unfortunately,
there was a decrease in the ordinary receipts of more
than 7001, but the deficiency appears chiefly
in the item of presentations, which is in all
charities and at all times a very fluctuating kind

of revenue. From more permanent sources there has
oome a steady increase, especially from the pence boxes,
which may often be seen, with a picture of the school,
suspended over the mantelpiece of hotel commercial rooms.
The good performed by the school during its 21 years of
existence cannot be calculated, and the only regret is that
its beneficent operations are limited by its income. The
committee, Mr. George Moore, the hard-working and
large-hearted treasurer, the trustees, and one or two of
the vice-presidents, were at Pinner on Saturday, looking
personally after the comfort of the visitors, and promoting
the enjoyment of the children. The majority of the
'Teste lingered in the charming country place until the
at train, and then took their seats in the carriages to the
tune of " Home, sweet home," played by the young musi-
cians on the opposite platform. During the few speeches
made in the afterooon Mr. Moore stated that there were
two boys and girls whose education was finished wanting
situations, and he appealed to his hearers to exert their
influence in procuring them.

THE CHILDREN'S INFIRMARY AT LIVERPOOL.—
Before taking his departure, on Saturday, his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Edinburgh testified his interest in the
Children's Infirmary by handing Mr. Graves, M.P., a
cheque for 501. Mr. Graves communicated as follows with
Mr. Matthew Gremon, the chairman of the infirmary :
" Wavestree Gunge, June 23, "1866.—My deer have
been directed by his Royal Highness the Duke of Edin-
burgh to forward to you the enclosed cheque for 501. as
his donation to the building fund of the Children's Infir-
mary, and as a further proof of the interest taken by hie
royal highness in this excellent institution.—l am, my

SERIOUS FIRE IN NEHCASTLE.—A telegram
from Newcastle-on-Tyne last night says :—A destructive
fire has been raging here all day. Brown's flour mill,
in the (lose, took fire this morning, and ignited the wood-
work between two arches in the lower part of the
High Level Bridge. The fire is still burning with great
intensity. The North Eastern Railway traffic from the
south to Newcastle is stopped at Gateshead. The result
of the fire is likely to be serious. An immense mass of
people is assembled.
INUNDATION OF A COLLIERY NEAR ROCHDALE.—
Two LIVES LIDST.—On Saturday morning a serious acci-
dent took place in the Ruffbank Colliery, near Rochdale,
from the inundation of an old mine, by which two
lives were sacrificed. The mine is the property of
Messrs. Stott and Son. On Friday night, at ten
o'clock, John Clegg, aged about 60 years, and
his son, James Clegg, aged 16, went down for
the first time into the Ruffbank pit, to bore and get coal
in a level intended tr. loose water from an old working.
They were alone, and their instructions were to bore Sit.
ahead first; then to bore what is called a " flank-hole "
Mt. in, and then clear off Mt. in the level, which leaves a
barrier" of Mt. The next " shift " was to have bored
aft. forward, and so on ; and it is thought that if they
had carried out their instructions they would have been
safe. The accident by which they lost their lives is attri-
buted to their having neglected to bore. At an early
hour on Saturday morning it was discovered that during
the night the mine had become flooded, and Mr. Evans, the
manager, directed the underlooker to examine the Ruff-
bank pit and see if lie could find the men who had been
employed there during the night. Search was made but
in vain, and 13 men were set to work to clear away the
mud. The rails had been torn up by the flood of water,
and had drifted towards the Tunshill Colliery. Shortly
after 1 o'clock the body of the boy ,vas found about 250
yards from where he and his father had been working, but
up to a late hour in the evening the other body had not
been recovered.—Maneherter Guardian.
BRIBERY PROSECUTION.—A bribery case was
tried in the Irish Court of Common Pleas on Friday, and
resulted in a verdict against Mr. Boyd, the lately ap-
pointed Governor of Richmond Bridewell, Dublin, for 1001.
and cots, under the Corrupt Practices Prevention Act of
1854. It was alleged that Mr. Boyd. who was then
governor of the gaol of Londonderry, entered into a con-
tract with a man named M'Daid, a butcher, by which
M'Da'd agreed to vote at the last erection for Derry for
Lorl Claud John Hamilton, and against Mr. Samuel
M'Curly Greer, for a consideration of 201. V. of the sum
was paid to M'Daid by Mr. Boyd, after the election,
and the receiver gave an I 0 U for it, as if
it had been money lent to him ; but he admitted
that he had never been asked for it, and that the
remaining 15!. had been paid to him by a Mr. Lindsay.
Mr. Boyd, on being examined, denied that be had ever, di-
rectly or indirectly, given money to M'Daid to iudue him
to vote. Ile, however, confessed to having, subsequently
to the election, given 51. to 11I'1)aid, but he bad done so
on account of Mr. Lindsay's promise to M`Daid solely.
Chief Justice Monahan said the charge against Mr. Boyd
was a criminal one, but the jury were sitting to determine
simply whether Mr. Boyd had committed certain seta.
The verdict, as has been stated, was against Mr. Boyd ;
damages 1001.

HOSPITAL YOH DISEASES OP THO CHEST, VICTORIA-
PASK.—The number of patients relieved at this institu
tion during last week was 1,309, of which 258 were new
sages.
