Virdict accordingly.
ROYAL AMPHITIMATIIt.—Since our last notice of the
excellent pantomime which Mr. Copeland has produced
at this theatre, it has received the cordial approbation
of the thousands who have visited it. Nor can it be
_wondered at that this should be so. In the production
of this pantomime Mr. Copeland has evidently aimed at
effects which may not only distance all provincial com-
petitors, but could hardly be surpassed-on a metropolitan
stage with all its " appliances and means to boot." Whe-
ther the manager's efforts have becil successful cc not,
is a question that is decided nightly by the hearty ap-
plause with 'which the. audience .greet every scene., The
pantomime 'altogether improves very much, upon repe-
tition, the -clown grows more witty, the pantaloon more
winked, harlequin mere 'nimble, and last, ibut certainly
not :keg., the accomplished columbine, Miss Bramah,
hasdanced herself into the good graces of even the gods.

`.dren of the Soho-street Ragged Schools, numbering 180,
,enjoyed their atm& dinner at lhe expense of T. PB.
bilorsfall, Esq., the lnember for Liverpool. Theiexge
'hall had been tastefully deeorited with evergreens and
tags, among whittlf was opronibently hung, a beautiful
banner Paitited'by Mr. J. H. Wallace and presented to
to the scheols,'and above itivr.‘s a scroll, withtihe name
" Shaftesbury;' -surrounded 'with laurel, which, it is
needless to ,say,•was commeseerative of the noble founder
ant patton.6ftlie Ragged` :hoof Union. The children
were accomresdated at tables placed.round:the hall, the
band, under -the leadership of Mr. Gibstrt, being sta-
tioned at the lower end. There was a large attendance
of the supporters of the institution, the'Azajority being
ladies, and,among the" gentlemen were—the Mayor, (T.
D. Andersen, Esq.,) Ur. Hubback, ,(Secretary of the
Insti'tuti'on,) Drs. Denton and Wattso.and Messrs. Ed,
Whitley„Andrew, Mier, AIT/S, andEliev. Mr. Brown,
of Trumere.

After the dinner, which atiniitted of a plentiful
supply of roast beef and plum lyulding, the bobs,
at the call of Mr.7llubback, gsrvecteree hearty cheers
iet the Queen, Prince Albert, and the rest of the 16yai
faintly.

estaglishing those schools isearly-cleven years ago, and
the-. scarcely anticipated the 'success which had been re
:ahead. That seeress had beenz,hrought aboat iby the
committee Isaing down in the :first instance theprinci-
,ples which were to guide tiemiintheir dutift—Thyienforc-
mg upon the fehildren the aospeasibilities which .res.ted
irpon them in fulfilling their 4 individual duties. The
principles which guided them were these—that from
the word ..of God the 'children should be ' taught
their duty to their Maker, .and, gat having taught, them
that the. feartf God was theigLinning of *isdem, they
'mould be taught that_cleanlinesc was next to,g3dliness:
then they were taught the,ativaritages of an andustriai
-.cecupatio&—how that if a man did not
.scovit aeithe
•should he Tat—they weretaught that frosalabour•these
--was profit.- Mence that saccess,ifor which be,called upon
them to give three hearty eheere. He hoped-that suc-
cess might ',long continue, and; he could illustrate that
success, andirCie advantages which those schools were con-
ferring uporthe town, no betteiqhan by sayingthat niuud
those taliier.were assembled WO children, '36 -of twhom
-were now in situations; :and such bad Tbeenrthe
.satisfaction -• which those :children had given ity3
filling their duties, that .6st that moment- they
had applications for girls » and boys far .boyond
rtheir means of supplying. =IIe thought it •wZII
-mention-, these facts, so that tthose who bad that Say
',honoured '.hem with their presence' might hawe.an- eye
7to the work which was goring .on in Sobo-etreet,:erd
-might; according to their abiltt7, assist it. He -called
for three 'cheers for the sucessa•tf the Industrial Ragged
,Schools—aeall which was readily responded to.
Mr. :Ilian-Aca said it was, his duty to introduce 'to
..•..them a gentleman who, from th 3 very fast, had .given
his assistance to the work—aigteitleman who hadnow
attained the highest honour which his fellow-townsmen
-could award-to him.

The .11...5y0n expressed the, Rlwsure he felt iu again
being present at another of their 41.aristmas treats, andto
f tee them enjoying themselves se.much. He should COM-
zmnicate to Mr. Horstall, thekkd donor of that itreat,
1 the•pleasurele afforded in givirgdt. He was Also:set:3r
:glad to take .that opportunitv.ofetwishing them a :very
happy ,new Tear., Having addressed some words of
:advice to theehildren on thenecoaity of good conduct,
lr Worship raid he took a veryjgreat interest irk the
education, of: the workingclasses!gwerally, and he must
say he felt a ;particular interest. rin the ragged schools,
more especially in that one ;inwhil he had been ,cou-
-91ented with ..his excellent - friend :Ctir. Hubback,
friend Mr. J..lesth (who be, regrettdel: extremely had not,
been ableto :!he present) for more :than eleven veers.;
lie wished to,a,y a few worde. to the .kind friendi who'
were presents teaemind them-that this year they would
suffer very materially in funds. ':They were now only;
to receive a :yew small graft ; from: the Privy Council,'
,athich,,would.roduze -their few.ds.soninwhere about £500:
aqe,ar. Therefore they ,must rely ::upon the exertions
of :these friends, and he was net at all afraid
of:the:result, because he felt that- the ..eiccess of those
schools, owing -chiefly to the Indefatigable exertions of
Mr. :lilll3back, ,and to the exertions •of the master and
mistress, had been_ao great that thepuNiemould never
talowitit:em to .be in want of funds. Having passed a
warm enbigium upoair. Oniss,the,superigtendent, for his
efficiency, be called, for three chem.., and ,:was answered
by the shouts of the!boys.
Mx. Jantass..returna thanks, but sewarded.some merit
to the exertions of -the other teachers—Mrs. VMinn,
Miss Glover, Mr. Carr, I,llr. Gibson, and 'Mr. Alcrks, for
all of whom-three cheers ,were given.
Mr. EAWAR:o 'Wgrri.spr was then called -upon, and
after expressing his pleasure in seeing the childrent
enjoying themselves, and impressing upon the
children that -the _success of the institution depended
in a great measure upon ;the conduet of the children
themselves, he said they hod assembled that day upon .a
very joyful occasion. That was to them the great
:day of the year; and he was _sure that those who :had
been enjoying themseltfes could not forget that they
were indebted for that annual ,ticeat to a gentleman
whtme name was respected everywhere—a gentleman
who from his boyhood had ever ma stained a high elm-
meter for honour and integrity, who had risen to the
highest rank among his fellow-townsmen, and of whom
Liverpool might well be proud;—that gentleman had
not forgotten them. He therefore calledtfor three cheers
for Mr. Iforsfall, the member for Liverpool..
Three hearty cheers was the response ; and the chil-
dren having been addressed by the Rev. Mr. Twist,.
soon afterwards returned to the schools.
It may be stated that the banners for decorating the
room were provided gratuitously by Mr, Sheldon, South
Castle-street; and the knives and forks, tables, table-
covers, and crockery, by Mrs. Peak, of Richmond-row.

REIGNATION OF ADUIRAL BowLEs.---Admiral Wm.
Bowles, C,8., has tendered his resignation as commander-
in-chief of the port of Portsmouth, and the Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty 'have accepted the same,
leaving to the admiral a convenient time for striking his
flag on board the Victory. The resignation is no doubt
in connection with the late erneute of the crew of the
Princess Royal. The gallant admiral considered that as
Captain Baillie was labouring under the grave censure
of their lordships, and as he (Admiral Bowles) had
neither been censured or commended, the only course
left was to lender his resignation. The gallant admiral
will imcate the command, we believe, on the Ist March
next; to be succeeded, it is reported, by yice.admiral
kt tur William Bruce, 1857. -
