EVENING SCHOOL.
CLASSICAL PRIZIC.—J. Canister.
After the presentation of the MaCelle scholarship,
The Rev. Dr. M`NntLE exhorted the pupils to attend tO.
their health, not to sit up late at nights studying, but to
rise as early as they liked in a morning; and then exhorted.
the boys who had not got prizes to continue their industry
and attention, although disappointed in their competition
with high talent. There was, he said, a difference between.
real erudition and being " crammed" for an examination,
and he who obtained the prize, after all, might not have
so much erudition as they who did not. In conclusion,
he said, "And one word more. I think it in keeping an&
place, in these active and stirring times, when a minister
of the crown, in an auspicious moment in the parliamen-
tary history of the noble lord, when the safety of the
country appeared prominent in his mind, and the interests-
of party subordinate, told us, in a moment of candour, that
there existed throughout the world, especially throughout
the continent of Europe, a wide-spread conspiracyagainst
the religion of Great Britain. Now, Mr. Archdagai
eacon (said.
the speaker, pointing to the boys), here are some of the
defenders of the religion of Great Britain ! If we are
training defenders of our precious citadel, they ought to*
be acquainted with the existence of a conspiracy, supposino-
such a conspiracy to exist, and it does. There is a cone* spiracy against the precious religion of England, a wide-
spread conspiracy ; and I would advise you, my young
friends, in your hours of divinity or in the moments of
desultory enjoyment and entertainment for yourselves, to
begin early and put yourselves in the possession of this
controversy, and where it lies. Do you know that boys
in Romanist schools are taught to be controversialists-
against our religion ? They are not so modest as us,.not
so squeamish ; they don't carry their charity so far
as to say nothing about ns ; they teach their boys: for
undermine, by plausible objections, the religion of Eng,
land ; and you should be taught how to defend it. Withz.
the Book of Scripture in the one hand, and Book of Com-
mon Prayer in the other, you will be able to defend the
Reformation ; for, if it is worthy of dying to obtain, it is,
worthy of living to defend.
Mr. ADAM HODGSON moved a vote of thanks to the
chairman, which was seconded by Mr. CABLES INmair„
and carried by vociferous applause.
The proceedings concluded by the National Anthem,,
after which the company adjourned to the class-rooms up-
stairs, to examine the various specimens of caligraphy and
drawing, the work of the pupils, which adorned the walls_
The boys broke up tumultuously, full of hilarious.antici-
pation of the pleasures of their midsummer holiday_
