M.P., President, in the chair, Mr. Foggo, Mr. Hyde Clarke,
Mr. C. Kerry Nicholls, Mr. De Mouehet, Mr. Horton, S.
a Report was read from the Secretary, which stated—"Nnie
school being the grand object of this Society's solicitude. the
Secretary begs to inform the meeting of its present aspect, as
furnished by the Director, in reply to the Secretary's inquiries,
The artists in the School, exhibiting talent, are—l. Mr. Day ;
this gentlemen was presented with a silver medal by the So-
ciety of Arts, for his model of Moses, designed by him in this

studio. 3. Mt. Anderson ; a pupil recommended by Mr.
Haydon. 4. Mr. Harrison. G. and 6. Messrs. Jobbing and
Melville, who are students of the Royal Academy, and dur-
ing its vacation attend this School. It appears that the gene-
ral progress of the students is highly satisfactory, and that the
numbers are fast increasing ; so that the Director thinks
the School will be filled for the winter quarter. The
Director has lately given a certificate of progress in art to a
young student, named Ponsonby, who was leaving England
for New Zealand, and who desired such a testimonial. The
Secretary here begs to observe,thal, some time ago he stated hi:
opinion (but which was then opposed) that "properly authenti-
cated certificates, judiciously awarded, would serve both the
interest of the school and the student, and he hopes, there-
fore, should the school be continued, a proper form of a certifi-
cate of study, &c., will be settled for future occasions.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.., and
even bad books. With the force of thin prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in praof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to Which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The
perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing aseries of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. ‘Ve
books daily coming from the press, some,
them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex-

the omnibus arriving at the Bank, he ordered her to come out ;
and on her insisting upon the performance of the contract, he
rudely dragged her out of the omnibus, and hurt her arm.
After the ceremony of the swearing in the
Sheriffs yesterday, the Keepers of the Gaol of Newgate and
the Debtors' Prison, Whitecross-street, turned ovsr the pri-
soners in their custody, and entered into fresh bonds. In
Whiteeross-street there are, according to the lists, 335 persons,
29 of whom are imprisoned by virtue of proenss out of the
Courts of Requests. In Newgate there are, in consequence of
the recent gaol delivery, only 130 prisoners.
BRADFORD ELECTION.— (From a Corre-
spondent. )—The Tories of this borough are rampant with rage
at the non-success of their candidate, Mr. Wilberforce, despite
the bribery, intimidation, and treating, which they used to
promote his return, and produce what they &light to style a
reaction. They now threaten to present a petition, complain-
ing of Mr. Busfield's election, on the ground that voters were
polled who hadchanged their residences. There is not, however,
much chance of their petition being successful, even should
they have the temerity to risk the chance of being mulct in
the costs. Mr. Busfield's friends consider the seat as quite
secure.
TROTTING.—On Monday week a m trotting-
atch, for 201., came off at Southwold, between Mr.
Neael's
black horse Matchless, and Mr. Oldrery's bay mare Invincible.
The distance was from Southwold-bridge to the 'funs Inn,
Yoxford, and back, making a total of 22 miles. It was easily
won by Matchless, he having accomplishe.l the distance in an
hour and thirty-five minutes. The mare was two minutes
fivex secon
ess.ds behind,
Sand was apparently distressed.—.lpswich
Epr
There is a current report that Mr. Bannerman,
M.P. for Aberdeen, who was made a Commissioner of Green-
wich Hospital by the Whigs in the latter part of their Admi-
nistration, has received some kind of intimation from the
Tories, that persons holding such office do not vote against the
Government. If this be true, we do not blame the Tories
they have a right to all the patronage of their office; we only
mention it, that, when the Vhigs come in again, they may be
prepared to do their duty.— Glasgow Argus.
