ST. PETER'S COLLEGIATE SCHOOL, EATON-SQUARE.
—I he distribution of Prizes took place on Thursday at this
admirably conducted establishment, with more than ordi-
nary eclat; Lord E. Bruce, M.P., in the chair. The rapid
advance this school has made, both in numbers and estima-
tion, must be solely attributable to the excellent system of
education introduced by the head masters, the Rev. Dr. Wilson
and Rev. J. Wilson, M.A. Reason and example and not the
rod are used, while the comparative progress in learning is
palpably in favour of such course, the apparent father and
son. like feeling evidently existing between the master and
pupil is quite charming. The gainers of prizes were—
Masters Wilson, O'Neil, Hadley, Shipman, Robinson, Sandi.

Goodban. We then had recitations in Hebrew,
Greek, Latin, German, French, and English, excellently
delivered, concluding with "Dulce doreum ' and "God save
the Queen," sung by all the boys in hearty chorus. Dr.
Wilson and the Rev. Mr. Wilson, previous to the distribu-
tion of the prizes, eloquently pointed out that the principle
of education should not be a fashion but a fact, and that by

[ADVERTISEMEN T.] —The most Fearful Cases of
Dropsy Curable by the Use of Holloway's Pills—The singular
efficacy of Holloway's Pills in the numerous cures effected by
their use in some of the most obstinate cues of Dropsy is truly
astonishing. This medicine acts with such peculiar effect upon
the system, that the fluids arising from this direful disease are
imperceptibly evacuated, and wholly prevented from any further
accumulation. The distressing symptoms which accompany
the complaint being thus dispersed, the sufferer regains buoy-
ancy of spirits, and a completely renovated constitution. Fe-
males at a particular period of life should have recourse to
these admirable Pills, which are sold by all Druggists, and at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

RAILWAY COMPETITION.—We stated a few weeks
since that the London and North-Western and East Lan..
eashire Companies had, by an amicable arrangement, put
an end to the injurious system of competition which had
been carried on by them for the Liverpool and Preston
traffic.) 'This wise arrangement has, it is stated, been ter-
minated by the East Lancashire Company, and there is,
we hear, a probility of a fierce system of competition
being carried onetween the two corporations.
The ROYAL ASYLUM Or ST. ANN'S SOCIETY.—
The second day of the fancy fete for the benefit of this so-
ciety was held yesterday, at the Hanover-square Rooms.
The attendance was numerous and highly respectable. The
numbers who attended on the two days amounted to upwards
of 1,500. The stalls of the Duchess of Marlborough, the
Duchess of Leed-, the Ductless Dowager of‹Northumberland,
the Lady Charlotte Guest, the Viscountess Combermere, the
Hon. Mrs. G. Anson, Mrs. S. H. Lee, Mrs. R. Montgomery,
Mrs. G. Combes, the Children, Lady Selsey, Lady Pearson,
Lady Stanley, the Marchioness of Blandford, Lady C.
Bathurst, the Viscountess Beresford, the Countess of Morley,
were amply supplied with every variety of articles adapted
for the cccasion. The appearance of the room was pecu-
liarly striking, each stall being prettily decorated with fes-
toons of white and blue muslin. It would be endless to spe-
cify the various inducements which were held out to pur-
chasers. Who would dare to doubt the fact, that the ladies
are the most able, the most eloquent advocates in the cause
of charity ? Who could withstand the eloquent appeal of the
bright-eyed houris who promenaded the Hanover-square
Rooms yesterday ? He must have been cold indeed
