LIVERPOOL MECHANCIS' INSTITUTION.

On Saturday last, the results of the Examination of the
High and Lower Day Schools connected with this institution
were publicly announced in the Lecture-room. During four
previous days the pupils were carefully examined in presence
of their parents and friends, who had been invited to attend ;
and in the Philosophical, Mathematical, and English Depart-
ments of the High School the examination was conducted
by means of printed questions, to which the pupils, without
having previously seen them, were required to return written
answers. Almost the whole body of the Lecture-room was
filled by the pupils of the various classes : the boys belonging
to the Lower School being ranged on the right, and those
belonging to the High School on the left of the platform.
The gallery was occupied by visitors, and on the platform
were several of the directors, with Joshua Walmsley, Esq.,
President of the Institution, in the chair. The proceedings
commenced at twelve o'clock, when the Masters of both
Schools read the following reports of the progress of their
pupils, as indicated chiefly by the results of the examination.
Those boys only were mentioned who had acquitted them-
selves in a highly creditable manner, and the names were
arranged in the order of merit.
