COLLEGIATE GIRLS' SemooL.—We understand that
the following circular has been sent to all the parents of
the girls actually in this school by the Rev. J. S.
Howson, the principal of the Collegiate Institution :
" Collegiate Girls' School, September 29th, 1859.—The
sudden death of the Lady-Superintendent necessitates
the closing of this school for two or three days. The
school-work will commence, and proceed as usual, on
Wednesday next ; and no time will be lost in making
the requisite permanent arrangements. I cannot send
this circular, and I am sure you would not wish me to
send it, without an expression of the deep sorrow ,which
has been caused by this sad and solemn event. I. hope
it will never be forgotten that the remarkable prosperity
of this institution, in its early days, has been in large
measure due to the untiring energy and faithful labour
of Miss Slee.—J. S. Howson."
PRESENTATION.—Yesterday, Mr. W. Owens, one of
the teachers in the Corporation Smith School, having
been appointed master of the school in connection with
St. Michael's Church, in the hamlet, Aizburth, was
presentedby his fellow teachers with a handsome writing -
desk, desk, as a mark of their esteem. Councillor Wagstaff,
with his usual kindness, came purposely to present the
testimonial. He stated his regret at the school losing
the services of Mr. Owens, but expressel a conviction
that, in the locality to which be was about to be re-
moved, he would discharge his duties as faithfully as he
had done in his present situation. Mr. Dalziel, one of
the masters, read some very appropriate verses which
he had composed expressly for the occasion. Mr.
Owens, who was deeply affected, acknowledged the
kindness which had been shown to him, assured them
he would ever remember them affectionately, and that it
occasioned him much sorrow to part with them.
