BRITISH SYSTEM OF EDUCATION.

Yesterday the Sixth Annual Meeting of the
Royal Institution for the Education of 1,000 Boys
and 500 Girls of all Religious Denominations, on
the British System, took place. In the morning
a meeting- took place at the School-room, North
City road, when a Report was made. The school
bad been established seven years, during which
time 3:900 boys had been admitted, and 550 re-
main; 275 females had also been admitted in a
school set apart for them since September last ;
and the object of the meeting and dinner which
took place at the City of London Tavern in the
,afternoon, his Royal Highness the Duke of Sus-
sex in the Chair, was to cover the deficiency of
1,0001. on account of both schools.
His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX ob-
served, that his late brother the Duke of Kent
bad been the Patron and Founder of the Institu-
tion, and that owing to his lamented loss, he•was
called to fill his place. He particularly agreed
with the objects of the Institntion, because they
embraced children of all denominations of reli-
gion, as he was not friendly to those founded on
exclusion.

Mr. Hume detailed the principles and advan-
tages of the new system of education adopted in
these schools, the difficulties it had encountered,
and the patronage it had always received from his
late Majesty. Now the struggle was over, and it
was in a state of progressive prosperity, more
particularly in the two joint establishments whose
anniversary they were that day met to celebrate.

follow the example of the Royal Chairman, the
Earl of Darnley, and others, who had again be-
come such liberal benefactors.
