MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.

DELIVERY OF PRIZES.

The annual examination of the pupils in the schools attached
to the Mechanics' Institution took place last week. The exa-
mination lasted two days, commencing on Thursday. The
Rev. H. Longueville Jones, of Manchester, late fellow of Mag-
dalen College, Cambridge, conducted the examination in the
classic and mathematical departments of the High School.
On Friday evening a general meeting was held for the pur-
pose of distributing the prize testimonials, prior to the com-
mencement of the midsummer vacation. Thomas Blackburn,
Esq., President, was announced to take the chair, but he was
unexpectedly detained, and Mr. Wm. Rathbone consented to
preside. A number of appropriate pieces were recited by differ-
ent pupils with great correctness in delivery and demeanour,
atter which the singing classes performed two or three easy
vocal compositions in very good style. The boys in the Lower
School then, through the chairman, presented their respected
master, Mr. lA' Ilveen, with a handsome mahogany writing-
desk, as a token of their esteem and regard for his assiduous
and zealous efforts for their mental and mor-11 improvement.
Mr. Wllveen, in a brief speech, acknowledged the compliment
paid to him.
The prize ce! tificates were then presented by the chairman to
the respective candidates in both schools, Mr. Hodgson reading
over the qualifications of each. Following this, a list of consi-
derable length was read of the pupils who, though they had not
obtained certificates, had honourably distinguished themselves.
