HIGH SCHOOL.—The Directors, having lately given
their special attention to the High School, with the view of
rendering its instruction, discipline, and general arrange-
ments still more worthy of public support, have now to an-
nounce the following important changes. Some of them
have already taken place, and the rest will be introduced im-
mediately after the Christmas Holidays.

I. The attendance on six different departments daily will not,
as formerly, be imperative on every pupil; but, wherever
circumstances require ,-dwarture from the prescribed
course, the master can apptiate a boy's entire time to
any FOUR or more of the subjects taught. Itt.ticcordance
with this arrangement, the following cours9rof study have
been prepared:

1. The COMPLETE Course, embre, as at present,
English, French, Classics, Mathew cs, Writing, Draw-
ing, Chemistry, and Natural Philosophy.
2. A more purely ENGLisit Course, in which either Chemis-
try and Natural Philosophy, or Classics, or French, or any
two of these branches may be omitted.

A more strictly COMMERCIAL Course for those Pupils
who are intended to leave School soon for business.
A more strictly CLASSICAL Course for those Pupils who
are intended to be members of any of the learned pro-
fessions.

I. To secure uniformity of instruction, vigour of disci-
pline, and sound scholarship, and to promote the gene-
ral interests of the Schools, a Head Master will super-
intend the entire education of each Pupil.
11. Previous to the Midsummer Holydays in each year,
Prizes will be given to the most deserving Pupils in each
department, and in each particular class of studies.
These will consist of Philosophical Apparatus or Books,
together with Honorary Certificates. It has been fur-
ther resolved to confer annually life membership (value
Ten Guineas) on the most deserving Pupil in the High
School, provided he has been in attendance for a certain

number of years.
IV. The Apparatus for heating the rooms has boen re-
placed by an entirely new one, upon an improved prin-

Ciple, by which the health and comfort of the Pupils will
be promoted.
V. The stock of Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus
has been greatly increased • so that the facilities for
studying every branch of these important subjects are
now such as are rarely possessed, even by adult students.
VI. An Assistant to the Teacher of Chemistry has been
appointed, so that the time hitherto spent in manipula-
tion can now be entirely devoted tp the purposes of in-

struction.
VII. Two Classical Teachers have lately been appointed,
from whose high qualifications, mild discipline, and pre-
vious success, the Committee anticipate the most favour-
able results.
The next quarter will begin on Monday, the 3d of January
next, after the Christmas Holidays, which will commence on
the 18th instant. Terms, Ten Guineas per Annum, with
Four Shillings and Sixpence per Quarter for use of Books,
&c., paid Quat terly , in advance.

PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT.—Terms, Six Gui-
neas per Annum, with Four Shillings and Sixpence per
Quarter, for use of Books, &c., paid Quarterly, in advance.
SOIREE.—It is proposed that the members of the Insti-
tution and their Families shall hold a SOIREE, in the In-
stitution, on MONDAY, the 27th instant, on which occasion
THOMAS THORNELY, Esq., M.P., has kindly con-
sented to take the chair. Tickets, including Refreshments,
ls. Gd. each. It is urgently requested that Members wishing
to attend will furnish themselves with Tickets as early as pos-
sible. The arrangements will depend greatly on the number
of persons intending to be present.
Tickets are now issued at the Secretary's Office.
LIBRARY.—PubIic attention is solicited to the Library,
which now contains nearly Eight Thousand Volumes, in the
various Branches of Science and Literature, and which re-
ceives regularly Ten Monthly and Seven Quarterly Periodi-
cals. Each Member is allowed Three Volumes of a Single
Work at a time, and the same Annual Subscription of Ono
Guinea (for Ladies 10s. 6d.), which admits to the Library
admits also to the Public Lectures and the Evening Schools.
