BOARD OP GUARDIANS.—The usual weekly meeting of
the board of guardians took place on Wednesday last, at
the workhouse ; thirteen guardians were present, and Mr.

Wednesday next was appointed for the election of his suc-
ceFSor.—Manchester Guardian.
MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.—The twenty-sixth annual
report of the directors of the lil'chanics' Institution has
just. been printed, and gives a very satisfactory statement
of the position of the institution. It appears that, not-
withstanding the depressed condition of the town during
the past. year, 301 new members have been admitted ; the
whole of the long standing debt has been paid off; the pre-
mises throughout have been thoroughly repaired and refit-
ted ; eight new classes have been opened, and a news-room
has been provided for all the members. In the library
department 9,117 volumes have' been issued, and 200
volumes of new books added during the mar. A school of
design has also been formed. Its tnemberi have so rapidly
increased, that the directors have been compelled to afford
it additional space, and have secured for its use the large
room in the Academy, formerly occupied by the insti-
tution. The progress made by the pupils is of the most
gratifying character, and the directors believe they are
not anticipating too much in expecting results largely
affecting the trade and manufacture of the town. In con-
clusion, the directors express a hope that the institution
is to some extent doing its legitimate work, and is yet
destined to be a source of great good to the town and
neighbourhood.-- •
