The Rev. Rector CAMPBELL,I in moving a vote of
thanks to the prir.cipal and his colleagues for their able
services to the institution, said it was impossible to value
too highly the labours of the schoolmaster; he considered
the office of the schoolmaster to be on an equality with
that of the minister of the gospel. The vote of thanks
was carried by acclamation.

BEBINGTON. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S
WINTER EXHIBITION.
This exhibition of winter flowers is the first ever held in
this part of the kingdom, and has been tried as an experi-
ment of its success. We can only say that it fell far short
of what we could have wished to see, and what the energy
and perseverance of its promoters deserved. Every one
rcknowledges the want of unexceptionable public amuse-
ments in our neighbourhood ; yet when provided, those
who have been at the expense and trouble are usually but
ill rewaeded, Such, we are informed, was the object of
the exhibition, held at Rock Ferry, where a magnificent
and spacious room has been erected for these and similar
amusemrnts. The society made the attempt on a more
extended and liberal plan than usual, wishing to give the
ladies, to whose good taste the success of the Rock Ferry
Flower Show has hitherto been wholly attributable, an
opportunity of joining in the more practical parr of the
plan. It was therefore made to embrace artificial flowers,
in feathers and wax, besides the natural ores peculiar to
the season. In this respect it was all that could be desired ;
the lady exhibitors were numerous, the attendance was
large and fashionable, and could a dozen gentlemen have
been found with sufficient appreciation and desire to sup-
port this novel exhibition, it would have been eminently
successful. Mr.' Sorge's band performed during the day,
in an elegant orchestra forming part of the new ball-room,
and the gardens of the hotel had been much improved for
the occasion. The awards were as follows :
To Henry Winch, Esq., of Seacombe.—First Prizes for Cy-
pripedium insigne; for 6 Chrysanthemums in pots, viz. Anne
Salter, Orion, Fleur-de-Marie, Grand Napoleon, and Small
Fellow; also for a collection of 4 Chrysanthemums, viz. Anne
Salter, Fleur-de-Marie, Superbiana, and Ne plus ultra ; for a
hand-bouquet; and for a collection of cut flowers, viz. Colum-
nea splendens, Coronilla glauca, Epiphyllum truncatum, Rho-
dosternma gardeniiiides, Epacris campanulata rosea, Cleroden-
dron splendens, Brassia lanceana, Sericographis Gliiesbreclitii,
Cymbidium suavis, Eranthemum pulchellum, Cymbidium in-

deceased had, for upwards of thirty years, ..offr-
tained pulmonary disorder, but, by care'nl _
regimen, he had suueeded in so far baffling a fatal (license as
to have reached an advanced stage of human life. Mr. Titley's
loss will be very seriously felt in Kingston. He was one of the
last of the old mercantile body; one of the old gentry of the
city ; and one of the few capitalists residing in the place. Mr.
Titley was father-in-law of Mr. Bernard Hall, of the firm of
Messrs. Bernard Hall and Co., of this town ; also, of Mr. David
Hamilton, of Glasgow ; and was well known and
esteemed by many friends in this country.

FEATHER FLOWERS.—TFhe First Prize to Mrs. Randolph
This lady, whose beautiful productions excited so much iffi.n.
rpo nd -

at lIIC Industrial Exnibitio—nTlVasd a large and superb collection ofkireat feather flowers, of most extra-
ordinary beauty. We have beer. accustomed to see the beau-
tiful feather flowers of Madeira and Brazil, and have even fan-
cied they were the perfection of art; after all, they look like
artificials. This is not the case with Mrs. Ran dolh's; he
look so true to nature that they are hardly distinpguishatbley from real flowers. Like the works of celebrated painters, they
are unique, and will long exist as a triumph of refined taste
and twenty years' untiring perseverance_ Ore

DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES AT THE 9pinion, that Superintendent Quick's conduct in furnishing
COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION. Mr. Jougitin's solicitor with the names of those officers whom
it was deemed desirable to subpoena at Kirkdale, without any
authority for doing so, and in the absence of the head consta-
ble, was highly reprehensible. The magistrates cannot but
express their astonishment, that Superintendents Quick, Ride,
and Towerson, and the other officers examined at Kirkdale,
should have felt themselves justified in giving evidence in
favour of Joughin, when, from their high position in the
police-force, it was their duty to have known that Joughin'a
1 house was the constant resort of the most notorious prostitutes,
that it was kept open at most unreasonable hours in the morn-
ing, and had been previously reported to the authorities.
4. The magistrates are of opinion, that Sergeant Butler should
be, and is hereby, admonished to he more cautions in future,.
and they are also of opinion, that Buidewell-keeper Kelly and
Police officer Slee should be, and they are hereby, severely
reprimanded, for the very unsatisfactory and evasive evidence
which they tendered before the committee. 5. That the
Mayor he requested to forward a copy of these resolutions to
the chairman of the Watch Committee, with an intimation
that the report and all the evidence are open for their perusal
if they desire it, and that a copy of these resolutions be also
transmitted to the bead constable."
Again there was considerable discussion, several magis-
trates expressing a strong opinion against the conduct of
Mr. Dowling, Kelly, and others of the police who had
furnished information to Joughin's solicitor.
Mr. Wrt. RATHBONE moved that Kelly, Butler, and
Slee should be dismissed from the force. He regretted
to take a course so severe, but it was important that
police-officers should be men upon whose evidence reliance
could be placed.
Mr. CROPPER seconded the motion, but it was not
agreed to, and Mr. Turner's resolutions were then, hav-
ing been submitted seriatim, unanimously adopted.
After a motion from Mr. R. V. YATES for the sup.
pression of houses harbouring this-ves and prostitutes,
which was not seconded, the proceedings terminated.
