.i..e. The minutes of the last meeting having been read,
The SECRETARY read the annual report, from which
; it appeared that the acting committee have to report
haveay leftha v e
to record the resignation of 12 others. They have also
removed from the list the names of nine members who
thteoirrefgorremtertheresdiedceenacsee, members, and
municated their new address. The total number of
ofbuttwoharaveerubneor:
are resident in London or its vicinity. There are also
that 18 members have been added to the list of the
association since the last anniversary meeting. But
members is now 232. About one-half of the number
three local association. in union with the institution,
namely, the London Elementary Teachers' Association,
Kent and Sussex Schoolmasters' and Schoolmistresses'
Association, and the North If ackinghamshire and West
Bedferdshire Association of British Teachers. The
committee ventured to express a hope in their last re
port, that the managers of one of the London schools
might be able to greet the use of a room for the perman-
ent educational exhibition which it is one of the objects
of this association to establish. They are happy to be
able to state that the hope thus expressed has been re
sponded to in the most comeeeue and cordial manner by
the well known and indefatigable manager of the St.
Thomas Charterhouse Schools, the Rev. Wm. Rogers,
who has placed at their disposal for the purpose the h,rge
and convenient roam in which his upper school is held.
It is intended that the collection, when formed, shall be
open to the inspection of the members and their friends
between the hours of two and five on the afternoon of
every Saturday during the annual session of the associa-
tion ; and that members shall be admitted on presenting
a card of membership to be furnished by the committee,
and other persons on presenting an order signed by a
member. The amount of enbscripirons for the year was
221. Gs. ; donations. 181. 12e, which, with a baekuce on
hand, made 711. Bs. 2:., while the expenditure was
nearly the same ainoteet.
Mr. T. TURNER brought forward a motion, of which
he bad given notice, which was—" That the second rule
be rescinded, and the follerving rule be substituted in
place.thereof :---‘ That all who are professionally engaged
in education shall be eligible to become members of this
association, but the acting committee shall have power
to refuse ev.y applicant whosevoreinct they may deem toe.. • -.—...
be inc)nsistent with the moral precepts of the Bible, sub-
ject, however, to the aeeroval of the members generally
at the next annual meeting.'" He contmided that the
present test prepesed to nietnhers on tle it es. trance had
a most injurious effect on the interests of the association,
and prevented many members from joining who would
otherwise have done so.

DUBLIN, Dix. 29.

The Phoenix-park yelterlay wan the scene of a dis-
tressing and fatal accident. The pond was partially
frozen and a number of persons were engaged skating
wherever the ice appeared thickest. A large dog having
fallen through a hole, one of the skaters in attempting
to rescue him fell in, but was extricated by a number of
those present, though with much difficulty. As soon as
the excitement attendant on this accident had subsided,
it was found that four boys had fallen in in another part
of the pond. Although the danger of attempting to
rescue them was very great, two young men, named
Burke and Henson, plunged in and succeeded in extri- •
eating three of the four. The fourth was subsequently
drawn out, and although every possible effort was made
to restore him he died soon afterwards. A subscription
was entered into on the spot to reward the men who had
perilled their lives. A 811E11 of 3/. was at once collected,
upwards of 10s. of which was made up of the pence of
the poor boys who were amusing themselves about the
grounds.
The Mining Ceinpany of Ireland have issued their ac•
count previous to their half-yearly meeting. The net
profit is 12,222/., or about 8i per cent. for the half-year.
The directors have raised the salary of their secretary,
Mr. Heron; from 3001. to 5001.
' An extraordinary general meeting of the Belfast and
County Down Railway Company was held at the Ter-
minus of the company, in Belfast, On Friday, "for the
purpose of considering an appiication made by the promo-
ters of the British and Irish Grand Junction Railway to
the directors of the Belfast and County Down Railway
Company, to subscribe a sum of 15,0001 to the proposed
undertaking-, being a line from Castle Douglas to Pert-
patrick ; and also to,autherise the directors to enter into
agreements, and do such other act: as may he necessary
to give effect to any determilystion that way be come to
by the shareholders in respect 'ef the :said application."
The meeting was largely and inffientiallyatteaded, 4.678
shares having been represented. The chairwas filled by
Mr. Anketeit. The following resolution was passed with
one dissentient :—" That. the directors of the Belfaat
and County Down Itoilway be requcalted, end are hereby
authorised, to entered into' agreements, and do all such
other acts as may be necessary for contributing or sub-
scribing the sum of 15,0001. sterling to the British and
Irish Junction Railway, being a linefrom Castle Douglas
to Portpatrick, with branches to the harbour of Stranraer,
and to the North Pier of Portpatrick harbour ; and fur-
ther that the clitaictors of the Belf oft and County Down
Railway be authorised to sign the Parliamentary sub-
scription contract for the British and Irish Jutiction
Railway, for 15,0001., and pay the deposit of ten per
cent, thereon."

Mr. BETHELL cordially seconded the motion, and
hoped the good sense of the society would repeal a rule
which was un❑ecessary, and injurious to the interests o
the association.

Mr. DAINTREE moved as an atnednaent, " That the
second rule do etand as at present—na:nely, That the
association embrace all teachers (public and privatt) who
acknowledge the essential doctrines of ChrLitianity, and.
hold the Bible to be the rule of faith and practice, and
the only sure basis of true education.' " He thought
that rule a most excellent one. It had l-tato discussed
at great length before it wee adopted, and ho uow pro-
tested against any alteration being made in it.
Mr. SMIIRTEINTAITE seconded the amendment, after
which

The following announcement appears in Saunders'
News Letter:—" Excellency the Lotd Lieutenant
will return to the Viceregal Lodge on Tuesday, the 30th
inst. His Excellency will embark from Holyhead on
Tuesday afternoon, on the arrival of the express train,
i❑ a special boat belonging to the City of Dublin Steam
Packet Company."
The sates in the Ineumberid Estates Court last week
amounted to 167,0381. The estate of the children of the
late Eliot IVarburton, autkor of " The Crescent and the
Cross," whose melancholy fate is so well known, was
amongst those who were disposed of.

A discussion of considerable length took place, but on
the motion being put from the chair, it was lost by a
considerable majority. Tile numbers mere, for the
amendment, 19 ; for th? original motion, 8.
The meeting then adjourned to 6 o'clock, when an
inaugural address was delivered by the Rev. J. BOOTH,
treasurer of the Society of Arts ; and on "The :Eichool,
in its Relation to After Life," by Mr. G. KEASLEY,
secretary to the Voluntary School Association.
The meeting then adjourned till to-morrow.

The room was thinly attended, and the transactions
were few and far between. For the Two Thousand,
Loyola was much talked about, but not backed ; 4 to 1
was the highest off..r against him ; 9 to 2 was wanted.
The betting on the Derby was very limited. The odds
quoted against Lady Hawthorne were taken to 751. The
other investments were in smaller amounts.

goys.), and New Brighton (1,260 sovs.) ; the highest
five-year-old b?ing Winktield, 885 soya.

a-head of any other, his progeny having won 72 races,

next with 521 races, and 11,113 soya. The Touch-

DEATH OF ALDERMAN LANGSDALE.—LiverpooI,
Monday.—We regard to announce the death of an old
and valuable member of the community—one who had
devoted a long life to the public good, and bad so lived
among men as to have obtained the esteem and respect
of all who knew him. Mr. Langsdale sat in the council
as an alderman of the borough for a number of years,
and had held the office of chairman of the Health
Committee until the formation of the new council,
when his failing health induced him to withdraw
from public life. He had removed to Southport,
and had some intention of proceeding to the South of
France, when he was taken suddenly worse, and died
this morning. The flag at the Town-hall, and those upon
other public buildings, have been placed half-mast, as a
sign that death has deprived the town of another old and
valued citizen.
NEw GERMAN LLOYDS, AT BREMEN.—A letter from
Bremen, in the Allgenteine Zeitung, says that the forma-
tion of a joint stock company for the north of Germany,
on a plan similar to that of the Austrian Lloyds of
Trieste, has been finally approved by the Senate of Bre-
men, and its statutes have already been sanctioned. The
objects comprised in this undertaking are the following :

—A regular line of screw steam packets between Bre-
men and New York ; regular and frequent steam packet
