oltoon FOR THE Dr AF AND DEDIR.-011 ThUrFARy,
t :11.1 ual extol it,ation of the t upils 'n the above school
t t.k l lace in ti e institution, Colgtott.street. The attend-
Imre t,t ladies on this ii,tetet'ng occasion vas exceedingly
mime rt us; the Rev-. R. ctor Ctmlubell presided. After a
few it,troductory remarks, Mr. 'Mind, the it'd fatigable
and talented teacher, explained the system by which
ideas wt re cenin unicated, and illustrated his statement
by pract'cal examples. A class of juniors, whose ages
ranged fr m seen to eleven, of both sexes, were first

examined, anti qu sticns heir g put them by their master,
answers were given with the greatest rapidity, by signs,
which might be understood by every one present. They
also replied by writing on slates. A more advanced class
gave admirable replies as to the manufacture and produc-
tion a various n oessary articles, Ira& s. natural history,
rarieus maxitns, as well as in arithmetic ; and one
t.f these repeated the Lord's Prayer in a guttural tone,
but so as to be intelligible to mast. Mr. it hind matt
that the organs of speech were believed to be Felker, but
his pupils could not speak. betause they could not hear
sounds, snti consequently could not imitate them. The
time and patience necessary for such a process most be

inart nse ; but 111 r. lt Wild, who was brought up in the
London lnstitutit u, nut! was afterwards niue years under
the celebrated Dr. Watson, evidently delights in his la-
hour of love, and cot siders no trouble or pains ton great.
St veral letters by the pupils wt re read. which exhibited,

xs th" Rev. Rect4jr Campbell remaikid, two peculiarities
—a lahorions evict of circumstantiality, r.nd an almost
Otienti l• hyttetbole. In one instance a boy, who, inde-
pendently of being, deaf and dumb, wrs deprived, to a
remain extent, of sight, h d hei n taught to repeat the
Lord's prayer. This was eff: en dby the pupil feeling the
sound of the voice, by placing his finger on 11:e larynx if
the tettcln-r while he is t nine uneing a letter, and thus
arning, by feeling and 113-4 lying the motions of the lips,
&c., h w to articuleve. 7be exhmination nfforded the
higi,est guitification to all these preset.t. and Mr. Rhind
was highly complimented for the zeal and industry he had
di-played in bringing the t upils to that state of advance-
ment which they had exhibited before the audience. At
the close of the 'leveed ups the chairman urged upon
4.i us,eg e‘try effort to promote
and extend its .phere uluseful-

ness, adding, that the-re was still sufficient room in the
institution for additional pupils, who would be gladly re-
ceived.
