lIIIICATION OF THE POOR.

Yesterday the Fifth Anniversary of the Friends
of the Nordastnet School, City•road, established
ea the wakens of the British and Fearleafiebusi
Society, was held ht the School-room. This branch
Society educates the poor in Finsbury and the
neighbourhood. and has already diffused the ins'.
thimble benefits of education to a very large mon-
ber of children, without any distinction of religions
creed, in this populous but indigent district. The
chief object of this day's Meeting was to enlarge
the sphere of their philanthropy, by the establish.
mint of an additional School fur the education of 500
Female Children. Gratifyiug as must always be the
exercise of the best duties of philanthropy and
benevolence. yet we hardly ever remember an oc-
casion its which these were exercised under circum-
stances so peculiarly exhilarating and encouraging
as on the present occasion, fur the Meeting was
cheered by the preience, and honoured by the pa.
tramp and Support of some of the must illustrious
Personages. in the kingdom. .
At two o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke of
Kent entered the room, 'eliding in for the first time
to a British Meeting his Illustrious Consort. who
wee accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince
Leopold of Saxe Coburg (her brothel!). It is super-
uous to state that their Royal Highnesses the Duke
and Duchess of Kent were received with the most
enthusiastic plaudits, which they repeatedly ec-
knowledged. All eyes Whig fixed on the Duchess,
Prince Leopold was not.at the moment recognised
by the Meeting. . His Royal Highness war dressed
in full mourning; but when feeling the hest rather
oppressive, he unbuttoned his cost, the observatiou
of the Meeting was drawu to the broad ribbon of
the Order of the Garter, which he ware across his
breast. His features were then imosediately recog-
nised, and his presence was hailed with the loudest
applause. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent
was dressed in a plain brown coat, and looked re-
markably well. The Duchess was dressed in a
plain but tasteful style, quite free from any osten-
tatious ornaments. Her Royal Highness wore a
large pale piuk silk bonnet. trimmed with white
lace ; her dress, winch was coMposed of the same
materials, was arranged with much neatness and
simplicity ; her features are remarkable for open-
nen, vivacity, and intelligence ; her eyes rather
dark, large, Sod expressive; her complexion healthy
and good ; her face rounder, and cheeks more
pluinp, than those of her Illustrious, Brother.
It was, on the whole (we hope the Illustrious
Lady will not reject the comparison). a good-
humoured English countenance. l'riuce Leo-
pold looked in excellent health, but his fea-
tures still bear the deep impression of that heavy
calamity, which hr, in common with this country,
bag suffered. He seemed extremely attentive to
his illustrious Sister, and also to the business of
the Meeting. His Royal Highness has suffered
his mustachios to grow very large. He was at-
tended by Sir Robert Gardiner.
The Meeting was also favoured by the presence
of Mr. Alderdian Wood, M.N. Sir Robert Wil-
son, M.P. Mr. Brougham, M.P. Mr. J. gatithi
M.P. and several other distinguished friend* of
education.

As soor as the applause which the appearance of
the Illustrious Persoringea crested. had subsided—
firs Royal Highness the Duke of KENT came
forward, and said, that the friends of the Meeting
hod quite stolen a march on him, upon the present
te,airoii, for until he had entered the roosts, he
was not aware that this was the Fifth Anniversary
