LONDON, FRIDAY, NOV. 2, 1866.

Sir ROUNDELL PALMER laid the foundation stone
of new school buildings, in Islington, on Wednes-
day. The site is in a very populous district, where
the want of such an establishment was greatly felt
for some time. More than six hundred can be
accommodated according to the present arrange-
ment, which, it is needless to say, will be a very
great advantage. It is satisfactory to find that the
large sum required for the erection of these build-
ings has been collected, with the exception of
£BOO, which, we doubt not, will goon be forth-
coming. The ceremony of laying the founda-
tion-stone was performed by Sir R. PALMER, who
then addressed the assembly. His remarks
were interesting and instructive, and he seemed
fully impressed with theimportance of the woik be-
fore them, them, in which he appropriately observed that
wt as a privilege to take part. His observations
the great benefits and blessings of knowledge
and instruction are well worthy of note to all classes.
The higher one should consider theimmense respon-
sibilities which devolve upon them in the way of
encouraging and
assisting the efforts now being
male in all direction,
to diffuse learning and good
teaching among the middle and lower classes.
These, in their turn, may well be interested to
dwell upon the advantages set before them and
their children under the new
order of things.
As Sir R. PALISEII truly said, c, education is the way
to all those things which make men good and
enable
them to rise in the world. In this country there
is no station under the Throne which is not per_
fectly open to, and attainable by, any one_any
virtuous and industrious man, to whom GOD has
given good ability, and who has received a sound
eduCation. The children to be educated at these
schools have before them the means of attaining
these advantagas if nature has fitted them for it,
and if they have the zeal and perseverance requisite
for the purpose. Notable examples are not wanting
of those who have achieved considerable success
from very humble beginnings; and such may
serve to incite those who have any ambition, to

The close of the Lord Mayor's year of office
happily finds him in recovered health and able to
take leave of the members of the Common Council

in person. A special meeting was yesterday con•
versed at Guildhall, which was largely attended,

roan the belief that his lordship would on that oc-

casion preside for the last time. After transacting

some routine business, the Lord Mayor in a brief
address thanked the Court for the kindness and en-

couragement which he had always received from its
members in the fulfilment of his onerous duties.
The manner in which he has discharged those duties
has called forth general approbation. In connec-
tion with the charitable institutions of the City the
Lord Mayor has stood prominently forward, and
the distress occasioned by the visitation of cholera

proved him to be a sincere and painstaking friend

;o the industrial classes. In his presidency of the

relief committee he displayed good sense and discre-

ion, as well as benevolent zeal for the amelioration

of the distress, and was mainly instrumental in lay-

mg down those broad and enlightened principles of

action which contributed so powerfully to the suc-

cess of their efforts. In all matters relating to edu-

cation too the Lord Mayor has been actively en-
gaged, and the recent movement on behalf

of middle-classs chools has given him an opportunity

of favouring the establishment of those very useful

institutions. It will be remembered that in an ad-
dress delivered by the Lord Mayor in connection
with one of these middle-class schools he referred

to his own humble origin, and held out the proud
position which he then occupied as an incentive and
an encouragement to the boys around him. The
old legend of DICK WIIITTINGTON is happily no
fable in these days, for it is possible by talent,
perseverance, and steadiness of character to
rise from the lowest to the highest rank in
any trade or profession. Not a few of our eminent'
men can point with justifiable pride to the contrast
between the position from which they started in life
and that which by their own exertions they now
occupy. If more of our youths and lads would
enter on their careers with the determination
to succeed, we should have a still longer list of
names which are the proudest boast of a country
and the best guarantee of her future, because they
show what is the national vigour and character of
her people, who do not require adventitious aids to
help them upward and onward.
The Lord Mayor, in addressing the Common
Council, took the opportunity of paying a tribute
to the public services rendered by the Corporation of
the City of London. "We represent here an old and
valued institution—an institution to be dearlyprized,
not because it is the parent of municipalities, but be-
cause it stands aloof from all political parties, and
in every act and deed proclaims the maintenance of
the liberty and independence of the people. In
this aspect the Corporation of the City possesses
most important characteristics, since it exercises a
sensible influence on the politics of the day, and
constitutes one of those independent bodies which
form so useful a check on the centralising tendency
of all governments. The City Corporation has come
in for a good deal of criticism, censure, and ridicule
of late years, but iis members need not complain.
Such scrutiny is very beneficial occasionally, and we
cannot always trust our friends to spy out our weak
places, so that our enemies or depreciators do us
good service when they make the discovery for us,
even though they may not proclaim it in the most
welcome manner. The Corporation of the City is
strong enough to bear a good deal cf abuse, and
it is respected and cherished by Eng'ishmen gene_ 1
rally as a representative and bulwark of those prin.
