IRISH FRISK SCHOOLS.

The children belonging to the Irish Free Schools
in George.atreet, St. Giles's, celebrated the semi.
vermsry festival of their titular Saint yesterday, iii a
way that does laminar to the heads and the Iselin&
of the Managers of that excellent and deserving
charity. The three large rooms were filled with
boys and girls, all of Irish parsers, sod a nimt
plentiful supply of old English fare (roast beef and
isluimpudditie), provided fur them at the ex•
pence, we Ulitirlslllll4l, of the President, Sir Dighy
Mackwoith, Bart. After dinner many of them
read and repeated several portions of Scripture with
a corrector's which excited the admiration of all
the Ladies and Gentleineis who attended to witness
so isaterestiog and gratifying a scene. We are
higmy to add, that the prejudices which formerly
existed in the minds of many of the lower orders of
the Irish against this Institutiou, are subsiding, as
we witnessed that Mr. Finnegau. the master, was
received with the cheers of his fellow.countrpoen
as he pasted along the streets with his sonocent
charge, instead of, as on former occaliiensa. being
pelted with mud, t. c. We heartily congratulated
the friends and aub.cribers of this Charity on the
good effect* of their unwearied perseveranct.

Sir ARTUUR Picaore stated that, its pursuance
of the direction of the Lord Chancellor, he had to
move that certain insertions should be anode in the
deed of marriage-settlement between Lord Stewart
and the infant previous to the minimization of the
intended marriage between them. The insertions
related to certain estates in fee-simple, of which the
infant was tenant in tail, eiid also to certain col-
lieries in the county of Du►hssp,in respect to which
some limitation would be irecetassiry, in the event of
Lord Stewart surviving the infant, for as it now
stood, they would .mly revert to the male issue in
tail, to the exclusion of the female issue of the
marriage, and that it should be directed by
the Court that the collieries should be worked,
unless it should appear that it would be to
the disadvantage of the estate, and in the event
of the collieries not having increased in value
at the decease of Lord Stewart, that then the
lessees to be at liberty to take !ewes sit the previous
rents, This came before his Honour with the
approbation of the Lord Chancellor that the
marriage settlement /should not be delayed,
if his Lordship abould fluidly be of opinion
that the marriage was a lit and proper one fur the
infant. His Lordship'. judgment had been de.
toyed on account of bis indisposition. He (the
Learned Counsel) had no doubt but his Honour
would grant the present application, as his order
would not prejudice the great question at issue.
