LORD BROUGHAM AND THE HARTLE!
INSTITUTION.

With reference to an invitation to Le present at
the ceremonial at Southampton, in connexion with the
Hartley lmtitution, on Tuesday, Lord Brougham sent the
following letter :
" Broughsm, Dec. 22.
" My dear Palmerston —I see by the LOll4lOll papers of
Wednesday that the good people of Southampton intend in-
viting me for the .ith of.lanuary to meet you on the occasion
ef the Hartley Mechanics Institute, and I greatly lament
that I shall be tool( before that time gone to the South until
the beginning of tebntary, when parliament meets. It is
impanble to have a more grateful sense of Mr. Hartley's
munificence, and of the wise application of Lis important
bequests. I only wish that be could receive, like our excel-
lent friend, Mr. brown, of Liverpool the cordial thanks of
all his countrymeo. The foundation of any institution"
which meet no greatly promote the iritructios In misses sad
literature cube middle cleans, me well as othen, is truly
• satioaal benefit of the greatest, magnitude. Bat I grieve
to think that our fellow-citiremi, from the armed elite of
the world in these times, must combine their studios with
volaateraring. As in some of the Torkish proviso's, from
the want of good police, the ploughman is obliged to mai-
vale the ground armed in self-defence, so our shopkeepers
aed agricultunate must cultivate the field et tom=
anna.-Tkiit they have universally come forward in o
to this hard necessity gives me, as it has given you, un-
speakable satisfaction hot no surprise. The shopke
as well as the Masai chee, are quite ready to edeleZ
themselves, and I would advise no cue to doubt the seal of
either ; for if ear, sae does, he will find the one ciao (to
borrow a phrase from the farrovard) quite ready to take
the bull by the horns, and the other (to use the language of
the counter) showing the stuff they are made of, and
proving very awkward customers.
" With all the good wishes of the season, believe me,
years sincerely, "H. Baoutaits."

THE RETRINENTATIoN or SOUTH WILTIL—It in
mairieetly suited that n., opposition will be offered to the
Mara of Mr. Themes Framer Grove, of Fern Home, Doe-
bead, near Ilbattasbury, the candidate who has offered him-
self to the ceeatitusecy to supply the vacancy caused by
the retirement and elevation to die Howie of Lords of the
Right Hoe. Mr. Sauey Herbert. Mr. Grove's family have
long been resident in the county, his late father haying
formerly practised in the city of Salisbury as a plimician.
CHSPIT CHtlitcH SCHOOLA, Sr. (cone's EAHT.--
The children of them schools, to the number of SOO sad
upwards, were entertained with tea, cake, &c., on Tuesday,
the gth instant, at the expense of the incumbent of the dis-
trict and other supporter' of the schools. Venous &mum-
meats were provrded for the entertainment of the childree,
not the Net important of which were the well executed
performatices of the school band, which numbers about
sixty members. It is gratifying to find that these schools,
which are situated in the midst of a dense poor population,
are reported by her Maleety's inspector, as giving a compre-
hensive education to the children who attend thorn, and
that they offer ample proof that the intellectual capacity of
the young who live at the east cud of London is not at all
inferior to that of those inure favourably situated. At the
annual examination in science and art, held by the govern-
ment inspector in connexion with the department at Ken-
sington, the boys' school carried off in all Sl prizes, • larger
number then any other national school in London. if not in
the kingdom. At the conclusion of the entertainment
about 40 prime were distributed by the incumbent to the
most deserving of the children.
