Mr. Brougham on the subject of the school, in the apeeelt
he delivered at the public dinner given him here.-:in which he
mentioned, to the honour of that seminary of education, that on the
same form, and within a few places of himself were the Moguls.

in the Cowgate--and that there was no respect of persons th‘re nor
any feeling on the part of the boys themselves, hut that of endea-
vouring to excel each other in their tasks, and giving honour to
liteerraarry exertion and eminence, from whatever rank of lite the pupils
'were drawn. Ile knew well that the Magistrates bad tailed in obi
taining.some other situations, and one in particular through the
opposition of the Faculty of Advocates; and he was satisfied that
the one now mentioned was the only one within their power. and it
was one which hail his approbation. It would be his ditty to at-
tend and assist in laving the foundation-stone masonicuily, and he
would have great pleasure in supporting the Magistrates on tin.
