Mr. FINDLEY then declared the first twelve boys,
and the first thirteen girls, duly elected, who, he
stated, would be received into the institution on the
_ __

Ist of October next. He said he most sincerely re-
gretted the absence of the Governor, Mr. J. J.
Homer, which was the more painful as it was occa-
sioned by the illness with which he had been afflicted
for the last six months. They had now completed
the election, which he hoped had been conducted in a
manner satisfactory to all who were either interested
in the result or in the character and conduct of the
establishment, and equally so to those who had been
unsuccessful in their efforts to participate in the ad-
vantages of the institution. It was highly gratify-
ing to him to congratulate those who were se fortu-
nate as to have their young friends admitted to the
school upon their success, and he could assure them
with perfect sincerity that he would have been still
more happy if he could have congratulated all those
who had applied for admission upon a similar result.
It would have afforded the committee the highest gra-
tification if they could have taken all the candidates
into the school, but he hoped that those who had
failed upon this occasion would be more successful at
the next election:--(Cheers.) There was one cir-
cumstance connected with the present election which
caused great disappointment to himself and the com-
mittee—that some of the orphans had been unsuc-
cessful. It was generally thought that it was within the
power of the committee to admit them, but that was
a mistake—they could not do so, boss ever strong their
inclinations might be to take that course.
Mr. Humus then proposed a vote of thanks to the
Governor, trustees, and committee of the Licensed
Victuallers' School, for the efficient services they had
rendered to the institution.

Mr. JONES (past governor) having seconded the
resolution, it was unanimously agreed to.
Mr. FINDLEY acknowledged the vote. He said he
regretted Mr. Homer, the governor, was not present
to return thanks for the honour they had conferred
upon him and his colleagues. They were all well
acquainted with the services which that gentleman
had rendered to the institution. The plan which he
had brought forward for the enlargement of the
Morning Advertiser would, he had no doubt, prove
equally valuable and advantageous.
Mr. T. H. BROMLEY then came forward to propose
a vote of thanks to Messrs. Wire and Child. In this
instance Mr. Child attended to witness the progress of
the election, and to render his own personal exertions
in carrying it out. It was a pleasure to him to take
part in the proceedings, and to see that they were
conducted with justice, fairness, and integrity.
Mr. JAMES seconded the motion, and the vote was
unanimously agreed to.
Mr. CHILD returned thanks.
Mr. JONES said there was another duty to per-
form, which ought not to be neglected, before they
separated. It was that of expressing their thanks to
Mr. Scott, the Editor of the Morning Advertiser,
and Mr. Smalley, their Secretary. He had had suf-
ficient experience of their services to form a correct
estimate of their value, and the result of that experi-
ence enabled him to hear witness to the zeal and
ability with which they discharged respectively the
`important duties which devolved upon them. Ile
could safely aver that there was not an institution in
London which could boast of more indefatigable and
zealous officers than their editor and secretary.—
(Cheers.) He should therefore propose a vote of
thanks to these gentlemen.
Mr. KILBURN having seconded the motion it was
unanimously agreed to.
The EDITOR (Mr. John Scott) said that he had
great pleasure in expressing his acknowledgments for
the compliment. He could only regard it as a com-
pliment, inasmuch as he had taken no part in the
proceedings of the day which could entitle him to this
especial mark of their approbation, and in that view
he could assure them it was unexpected—for which
he was most grateful. He was glad that his name
had been associated with the Morning Advertiser, as
it had ever been his pride and ambition to promote
that journal. He believed that it had produced the
most favourable impression on the public mind. He
hoped, and most confidently believed, that its progress,
by means of the contemplated enlargement, would
not only most satisfactorily contribute to the ad-
vanced benefits of their noble school, but would add
to the character and celebrity of the daily press of the
metropolis. He again thanked them for the notice
which bad thus been taken of him as the editor of
ttelr honest journal.—(clear,)
Mr. SMALLEY said the election had been now so
much simplified that the process of taking the ballot
was not as arduous as it had been formerly, but if
much greater exertions had been required he would
most willingly have given them. They had the plea-
sure of seeing several children admitted into the
school, while others were excluded; this no doubt was
painful to the parties who failed and equally so to
himself, but it only wanted a little exertionmor_e_ulefriends
to
enable them to admit all the candidates.
of the applicants, in the course of their canvass,
would solicit those who were not subscribers to con-
tribute to the funds of the institution, they would
I soon have the means of admitting all the aspirants for

admission. When they considered the great advan-
tages which, in an educational point of view, the in-
szitution afT.,rd( d, it V; certainly worth the tronble
to mole some further exertions to increase their funds.
There was not an institution in the country where
the childre:l were token more care of, or who pre-
sr more healthy and 'respectable appearance
wh,zir they went abro4d. it was, in fact, the study of the
committee to make the children happy and to promote
their welfare. There was an interesting fact con-
nected with the present election which he could not
o:nit to mention. It was the circumstance of the
proxy of his Royal highness the Prince of IVales
having been transmitted to him, through Colonel
Phipps, with directions that it should be applied to
promote the election of the most distressed candidate.
He hoped when the Advertiser was enlarged, that
commensurate exertions would be made to enlarge
ifs circulation, and thereby to increase its funds,
and through that to extend the sphere of its useful-
ness. He thanked them for the honour they had done
him, and hoped when they met again they would be
equally ready to bestow upon him a similar mark of
their favour.---(Cheers.)
The business of the day having been then con.
eluded, the meeting separated.
