In the lengthened report which we gave Yest':,'
day of the Anniversary of the Licensed :Victualler'',
School, some inaccuracies,. .as might natura!,,,
enough have been expected, where about, ,I•3'''
persons dined, occurred; a circumstance which tl,
regret the less, as in correcting them, it affords''i
an opportunity to bring the subject matter ofsthetsc
more distinctly before our readers. • The' sum °.
funded property, for example, belonging to the I-'';
tensed Victuallers' School, though stated, 'bY si
misprint, as amounting to 25,0001., is onty,,ls,oo'al.

Mr. Sheraton also proposed " Prosperity to the Li'

in the report which calls for amendment ; and even
for Mat little (for it is merely names) .it is but kis'

chargeable. The same inaccuracies which are
charged to our report occurred in all the other re'
ports of the. Meeting given by our- cotemporariesi
and had they occurred with the gentlemen belong:

readers, we feel assured; would have justly conclude

from their general, and, indeed, we may say, undis'
