BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY.

(THIS DAY.)

The annual meeting of this society was held
this morning is the large room of the 80-rough-road
School, and was very numerously attended. The previous
examination of the children took place in thepremince of Lord
Lyveden and many other leading frieudsof the institution.
It had been announced that the chair at the meeting
would be taken by Earl Russell, but his lordship was
prevented from attending by indisposition. A note from
the countess to the secretary, dated Pembroke-lodge,
Richmond, this morning, in which she expressed, on the
noble earl's behalf and her own, deep regret that, for the
reason before mentioned, they could not be present, was
read to the meeting. Under these circumstances the
chair was occupied by Mr. J. G. BARCLAY.
From the report it appeared that there ►re in training
at the Borough-road 69 young men, and at Stockwell, 102
young women, all of whom are in residence. The report
of her Majesty's inspectors upon the state of these train-
ing colleges was eminently satisfactory. Of the 164
students of both sexes presented at the last Christmas
examination for certificates there was but one failure,
while 141 pained in the first and second divisions. One
hundred and twenty schools bad been supplied
with teachers during the year, and nearly all
the students of the second year had been re-
quired to go out for periods varying from three weeks to
two months, to supply schools which must otherwise have
been closed or have lost the government grant. At the
model school for boys in the Borough-road, 1179 children
had been admitted, and at the girls' school at the
Borough-road there are PM children. The practising
schools for girls and infants at Stockwell are quite full,
and many are waiting for aimission. The agency depart-
ment of the society's operations, which includes the in-
spection of schools, conferences with committees, the
conduct of public examinations, dee., continues to be
much valued, and very successful. Chiefly through
this agency fifty new schools have been opened
this year, 21 are in course of erection in Wales
alone, and many have been enlarged and improved.
The desire to obtain government aid is increasing on every
hand. Eighty-two grants of school materials have been
made during the year, 38 being to new schools and 12 to
foreign parts. An extended correspondence has been
maintained with missionaries and others abroad. One
teacher has gone out to establish and conduct a training
school for teachers in Madagascar, another as secretary to
the Board of Education and inspector of schools in the
Bahamas, and a third was likely to sail in August to the
South Seas. The balance-sheet for the year showed a
deficit of 381. 131., the receipts from all sources being
14,490!. 91., and the expenditure 14,529/. 2s.
Sir J. KAY SHUTTLERORTH, in moving the adoption of
the report, adverted to the great loss which had been sus-
tained in the death of Lord Brougham, by the cause of
education, is which his lordship took a most active and
useful part in parliament and elsewhere. (Cheers.) And
in doing so he alluded to the fact that his lordship had
taken therhair at meetings of that society. He alsoreforred
to the deceased nobleman's services in connection with the
aboliti m of slavery, and other movements tending to the
►melioration of the condition of mankind ; adding that he
thought such an occasion as that ought not to be allowed
to pass without an acknowledgment of what was due to Lord
Brougham's memory, and an expression of sympathy with his
relatives at this great national loss. (Cheers.) The hon.
baronet also expressed his sense of the valuable and long-
continued aid rendered to the society by its president—
Earl Russell. (Cheers.)
Mr. J. PEASE, in seconding the resolution, also
spoke of the good services of Lord Brougham in
connection with the origin and progress of the society.
Considering, he said, that his lordship was 35
years of age when the battle of Waterloo was fought, it
was amazing that his mighty intellect should have re-
tained its vigour down to the present year. After a life
of great and vigorous enterprise he had departed, and his
memory would be long cherished by his countrymen, and
especially by those who held the principles of non-sectarian
education, which had been always advocated in that room.
(Cheers.)

The report was adopted, and other epeechea in support
of the society ware delivered,

Large quantities of Egyptian wheat are now
being exported to France from the port of Southampton.
One of the most beautiful sights in England is
the apple orchards in the Va!e of Blackmore, in the south
of England. They are now in full bloom, and there is
every prospect of a very large fruit crop. The cider made
in the Vale of Blackmore is considered superior to Devon•
shire cider in the West of England, and is remarkably
cheap at the present time.

BrITING IN LONDON.-(THIS DAY.)

2.30, P. M.

The heavy settling consumed a great portion
of the morning, and speculation on future events
was necessarily limited. For the Great Northern
Handicap, Blickhoolie firmly maintained his position of
first favourite at 5 to 2, while upwards of 2,0001. was in-
vested on Beauty at 5 to 1 and 4 to 1. Fertunio and West-
wick were also backed for good money. To these four the
wagering was mainly confined. Very little was done
on the Derby. Prices as fellow:
