We may mention as an encourazing, circumstance, that
Mr. Heywood, to whom this prize was awarded, is the master
of St. Bride's School.

The Rev. Rector BROOKS then proposed a vote of
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, for having con-
sented to preside on that occasion. His Lordship had
expressed to him (the Rev, Rector) his entire approval of
the great principles on which that institution has been
founded. (Applause.) His Lordship has called it a
great experiment, in which the whole island was deeply
interested. He agreed with his Lordship that it was a
great experiment; and he hoped therefore it would be
allowed fair play. (Applause.) He hoped the influential
and wealthy of that community would not suffer it to fall
—not for the want of intrinsic merit in itself—but for the
want of that support to which it was so justly entitled.
(Applause). He might safely say that if it did fall, it
would not be from any deficiency on its own account, but
solely for the want of that assistance which it ought to
receive from others. (Applause.)
The motion was carried at once by acclamation.
The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN expressed his strong feel-
ings of thankfulness for the manner in which the resolu-
tion had been proposed and received, and proceeded to
impress upon his youthful auditory a consideration of the
privilege they enjoyed in being connected with so ad-
mirable an institution. They had a peculiar advantage
in that institution, and it was that they received a religious
education ; and he hoped they would thank God for it.
Happy would they be if they held fast by its principles
throughout their lives. Now was the appointed time to
learn ; and if they were good boys, they would grow up
to be good men. They could not, however, be good boys
without they were religious boys; and they would never
be men worth having, of any use to their country or their
fellow-creatures, unless they were religious men.
The proceedings then terminated by the pupils singing
the National Anthem.

The stream of visitors was then directed to the gallery,
where specimens of the drawing and penmanship of the
pupils were exhibited, and which displayed a degree of
excellence which reflected the highest credit as well upon
the progress of the pupils as on the perseverance and
skill of their teachers.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(BY EXPRESS.)

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE.—YESTRRnAT,

Great excitement prevailed during the past week in Wheat,
Flour, Indian Corn, and bread stuffs, and a very large business
was done for consumption, for shipment to Ireland, and for
exportation, and also some quantity bought on speculation.
The weather is very cold, and a severe frost continues to make
it an early commencement of winter.

At this day's market, the supply of English Wheat was mo-
derate. Factors at first demanded very high rates, but the
stands were ultimately cleared at 2s. to 3s. per qr. over the cur-
rency of this thy week. Free Foreign and bonded, 3s. to 4s.
(tearer, and a fair business at the advance. Barrel Flour,
2s. to 2s. Cd. higher. Scarcely any sellers of Indian Cora
afloat, although 4s. to ss. more money could be realized,

Bar-ley, Malt, and Beans;
White Peas 2s. to 3s. dearer.

steadily support our currency,

We have a good supply of Foreign Oats ; although but few
from Ireland, there Is a good show from our own coast and
Scotland. The trade is slow at 6d. per qr. advance; but
buyers more disposed to purchase freely at former prices.
