LIVERPOOL ROYAL INSTITUTION.

THE CLASSICAL SCHOOL.

On Tuesday last prizes were distributed to the young gentle-
men in the classical school of the Institution, who have won the
same by success in their studies during the last half year. Pre-
viously to the distribution of the prizes, an entertainment, for
such it really was, was afforded to the numerous and most res-
pectable audience assembled in the theatre of the Institution,
by Latin and English recitations delivered by the boys. In
some instances, these were delivered in such a manner as to
deierve the most unequivocal praise of excellence, without any
reference at all to the youth of the boys; and in no one in-
stance could we refuse to the young reciter the praise of having
acquitted himself with much propriety.
Of the recitations in Latin, that by 111`Neill, (Juv.loth Sat.,)
"The vanity of ambition exemplified in the cases of Hannibal,
Alexander,' and Xerxes," was the best delivered, and, indeed,
left little to be desired. This is the first performance of the
kind that has been attempted in the school.
Elliott and Twiname -both acquitted themselves well. The
recitations allotted to them demanded less energy and variety
in the delivery than the noble piece pronounced by M‘Neill;
but all that the sense demanded was most truly and effectively-
given, and received its just measures of applause from the au-
dience.
Of the English recitations, we know not whether to award
the first place to that by Bridge, from the poem of Marmion,' or
to Sheppard's part of the celebrated quarrel and reconciliation
of Brutus and Cassius, in the play of Julius Caesar. A natural
advantage of voice is in favour of Sheppard, while the merit of
study we are partly inclined to award to Bridge, unless, perhaps,
the greater scope and variety of the piece recited by him deceivesus. Both were in fact, excellent, and do the highest honour to
themselves and their instructors.
After, but yet not far distant from, these were Morecroftv
Aikin, Forsyth, Bateson, Isaac. We endeavour, though, pef-
haps; recollection hardly enables us to discriminate exactly, to
name them in the order of their merit. Venable recited, with
much propriety, Peter Pindar's " Razor Sellex." The other
boys, whom we do not name, because we cannot pretend to
place them, acquitted themselves well. We o assure our rea-
ders, that so much propriety was there, even in the least excel-
lent of the recitations, that even it afforded' gratification, and
the whole was an extremely gratifying entertainment.
The Rev. JONATHAN Baooxs then took the chair, and dis-
tributed the prizes.
To Elliott, for the first rank in the first class—Arnold's Thu-
cydides. In this class the Rev. President said the competition
had been remarkable; the successful boy having come near the
maximum of merit, according to the scale by which merit is de
tennined, and several competitors having fallen no great way
behind the leader's success. Wlsleill and Sheppard had this
merit.

The second class—Porson'sEuripides--to John Brancker;
second to whom stood Rae.

The third class—Doring's Horace—To Edward Hancox ;
honourable mention being made, also, of Hall, J. Walmsley
Brooks, Harris, and J. M'Neill, who stood next in number of
marks to the successful candidate.

The fourth class—Virgil—to Hugh Walmsley ; next to whom'
was mentioned R. Venables. The Composition Prize—Hun-
tingford's Pindar—to John George Sheppard, grandson to Ad-
miral Murray.
Mr. Brooks said, that if the old system had been followed,
that of awarding the prize for Greek and Latin, only, it would
have been very hard to decide between the four first boys, viz.,
Elliott, M'Neill, Sheppard, and 'Forsyth, but that Mr. Peill
told him he thought English composition ought also to be taken
into acoount; and that there was such a pureness and chasteness
about Sheppard's English composition that it determined him to
award the Composition Prize to John George Sheppard, Admi-
ral Murray's grandson.
Besides these, the Mathematical Master, Mr. Harrison, vo-
luntarily gave the following prizes to his pupils :—Paley's Moral
Philosophy, to John Aikin ;.,a,--Work on Natural History, to
Thomas Stewart 'Train; and Johnspn's Lives to William Bu-
chanan.

Mr. Brooks, on concluding his agreeable duty, of distributing-
the prizes, addressed to the boys some impressive observations
on the necessity ofexertion and application, the only means of
rendering ability effective and of sustaining success.—Satur-
day's Advertiser.
THE RIGHT HON. C. P. TilomsoN.—The newly-elected re-
presentative of this borough, made his first public appearance
yesterday, in the Exchange dining-room. It had been previ-
ously announced by placards on the walls, that the right hon.
gent. would address the electors at twelve o'clock; an immense
number of people had consequently assembled at that hour, but
it was nearly half-past one before he arrived, accompanied by
Mr. J. C. Dyer Mr. George Hadfield, Mr. Burt, &c. &c. In
order to secure him a favourable reception, and a patient hearing,
his committee had, two days previously, issued tickets to their
friends, who were admitted through the private door, and by
this means the room was more than three parts filled before Mr.
Thomson's arrival. When the principal door was opened, the
remainder of the room was crammed to suffocation in a few
minutes by those, who, not having tickets, were admitted by the
principal entrance. Mr. Thomson alighted from his carriage
at the door in Exchange-street, but there the crowd waiting for
admission into the room was so dense, that any attempt to pass
through them would have been impracticable; he was, therefore,
escorted through the news-room to the door by which his friends
were admitted, and in his passage to that door, he was greeted
bv the cheers of his party, mingled with other sounds of a some-
what less oc,ratifying nature. After the cheers and groans which
followed the entrance of Mr. Thomson had somewhat subsided,
Mr. J. C. Dyer made a demonstration of addressing the meet-
ing, but the }ells and groans with which he was received caused
him to abandon the effort, and Mr. Thomson then mounted the
table, and attempted to make himself heard; but although he
spoke for nearly a quarter of an hour, not three consecutive
words of what he uttered reached the ears of those who stood
nearest him. Amidst the torrent of cheers, yells, and groans,
however, we could occasionally catch a word or two, from which
it appeared to us that the tenor of his speech was simply a re-
turn of his thanks for the high honour conferred upon him in
electing him the representative of this borough. Finding at
length that all attempts to obtain a hearing were in vain, Mr.
Thomson's friends very judiciously withdrew him through the
same door at which they had entered the room, and after in-
dulging in a few more cheers and groans, the meeting separated.
--We understand that Mr. Thomson had no expectation what-
ever of being called upon to address the electors on this occasion,
and that he visited the Exchange under the impression that he
was merely expected to shew himself in the news-room, for the
purpose of being introduced privately to such of his supporters
as might be assembled there.--Manchester Herald (Wednesday.)
THE MAYOR'S DONATION.—Tuesda) being Chrismas-day,
his Worship the Mayor liberally gave to each person confined
in' the Borough Gaol 21bs. of beet, 21bs. of bread, albs, of po-
tatoes, and a quart of ale.
