ROYAL INSTITUTION SCHOOL

The annual examination of the pupils under the tuition of
the Rev. Dr. Iliff, in the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street,
took place on Tuesday last, before the President of the
Institution, J. B. Yates, Esq., the Mayor, Robertson Glad-
stone, Esq., and a very numerous assemblage of the most
respectable families of the town.
The following is a programme of the examinations :
1. Poole. Death of Edipus Sophocles.
2. Saxon. Translation of Ditto. Dale.
3. Iliff. The Voice of Spring. Mrs. Hemans
4. Stewart. Cataline's Address to the
Conspirators.
5. Boutflower. Venice. Cambridge Prize

Sallust

Brockhurst

Poem
Rector's Farewell to Andro-
mache. Homer
Crowder. Translation of Ditto. Pope.
8. Laird. Cardinal Wolsey. Shakspeare.
9. Lightfoot. Laudes Drusi. Horace.
0. Chilton. The Mummy. Anonymous
I. Fletcher. Paradise and the Peri. Moore.
12. Petty. The Wizard's Grave. Scott.
e were really much gratified by the chaste and culti-
vated style in which these talented young gentlemen ac-
quitted themselves in the recitations. Great credit is cer-
tainly due to Dr. iliffe and his able and rev. coadjutors, for
their watchful care over the pupils ; and at the same time a
very high degree of praise must be accorded to the scholars
for their industry and generous emulation. Scarcely a fault
could be detected either in measure or accent ; and without
an exception each of them elicited loud applause. The
Death of cEdipus, both the original and the translation, was
marked by correctness of attitude and propriety of declama-
tion ; and the same praise is due to Mr. Stewart for his re-
citations of Cataline s address. But the universal favorite
was the Prize Poem of Venice, recited by Mr. Boutflower.
This composition is elegant and feeling, the description of
events are striking, and the interest is continually increasing,
till by a rapid transition the scene changes from Venice to
England, and the poem ends with some complimentary lines
to -our beloved land, which could be the production only of a
born poet and a genuine patriot. Mr. Boutflower seemed
inspired by the genius of the author, and did his splendid
composition every justice. The other young gentlemen
were, in their respective parts, equally good.
The proceedings terminated with the delivery of the
prizes.

Mr. NICOL observed that the dock proceedings would not
take up much time in reading. lf, as had been remarked,
they were not confirmed to-day, they would, in conformity
with the act, be confirmed as a matter of course, so that, if
the council meant to assert that right they must do so to-
day, otherwise the time would be past. Everybody knew
how long the discussions on the education question were ;
he lrobability was, that after the discussion to-day no

ANCIENT ADVERTISEMENTS.

To a newspaper reader of the present day, the advertise-
ments to be found in these antique prints [Glasgow papers a
century ago] are somewhat amusing. While in our own
times it would be considered a matter of indelicacy, if not of
absolute supererogation, to enlarge on the virtues, the beauty,
or the dower of a.bride• in the common notifications of mar-
riages, it was the custom, a century ego, to apprise the world
of all the most prominent qualities of a lady who bad just
entered into wedlock. Thus we find such notices as the fol-
lowing :

Linear Drawing Master—Mr. Hill, late a Student at Rome.
THE SCHOOL is an ancient foundation, in the patronage
of the Corporation ; it has been lately rebuilt on a new
site adjoining Winckley-square, the best and most healthy
part of the town, and has been furnished with every requisite
in an elegant and commodious manner, at the expense of the
gentlemen undermentioned, some of whom have sons attend-
ing the School :
Thomas Batty Addison, Esq., Recorder of Preston.

John Addisoii, Esq., Barrister-at-Law

The system of education pursued is as well suited to the
wants of those parents who design their sons for commerce
and the liberal professions, as for those who intend them to
graduate at the Universities. The studies of the school
begin with prayer, and the reading and explanation of the
Holy Scriptures form a portion of the daily duties. Instruc-
tion is given in the Greek and Latin Classics, English Lite-
rature and Composition, History, Geography, Writing,
Arithmetic, and Mathematics. The French Language and
Mechanical and Architectural Drawing are taught as part of
the system, without any extra charge, to all the scholars,
as they become sufficiently advanced for the respective
masters.

Students arc constantly proceeding to the Universities,
and are prepared for their College Lectures and Degree Exa-
minations by a direct course of Classical and Mathematical
Reading. Per Annum.

OBJECTS OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT:

I.—To insure a thoroughly Scriptural and Gentlemanly
Education, under Masters of high Classical and Mathema-
tical attainments.
2.—To make the Classics and Mathematics the basis of
the system, but to provide also a really solid and useful
course of English instruction.

3.—To maintain in every department the strictest Disci-
pline, united with kindness and moderation, and the absence
of corporal punishment.
4.—By means of familiar conversational Lectures, to teach
the principles as well as the common facts of knowledge.
s.—To treat the Pupils as members of the family, pro-
viding them liberally with domestic comforts at the same
table with the Principal and Masters.

6.—To include under one charge every expense both in the
Educational and Domestic department, that there may be
no extras for Stationery, Printed Books, Washing, Medical
Attendance, nor under any pretext whatever.

TARVIN HALL, near Chester, used for the above purposes,
is unquestionably one of the healthiest situations in the king-
dom. The premises are very spacious, and every way adapted
for a large Educational Establishment.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. DEC. 13.
The demand for Cotton to-day has been more general, and
fully 3000 bales have been sold at market prices, eonisting
of nearly 1000 new Boweds, sd. to 51d., and several hun-
dred Surats ad. to 41d.

COTTON MARKET, DECEMBER 15

Since our last circular the deinarid for Cotton has somewhat im-
proved, and although the market wears a rather dull and gloomy
aspect, prices continue firm and unchanged for all descriptiOns ut
Cotton, except new Boweds, which are plentifully offered from
5d to bid; the reduction in these has caused a greater inquiry for
them, and they form a considerable portion of every day business
The number of bales sold yesterday was 4550. and to-day

LATEST PARTICULARS

Two o'CLocK.—We regret to state that the fireman, in
further searching the ruins, discovered three other bodies,
namely, that of an elderly female and two children. At
at the present moment Mr. Braidwood and his men are
lowering the mutilated remains down the ladders in blan-
kets, and conveying them to a public-house on the
opposite side of the street. The latter are supposed to be
the mother and sisters of the unfortunate creatures, Julia
and Nancy Holland, who :threw themselves out of the win-
dow. It is impossible to identify them, nothing remaining
but their trunks' which are burned to a blackened cinder.—

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS DAY.

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN 8f SONS' Circular.)

We are still unable to notice any variation in the rates
of duty on foreign produce, and there is no probability of any
important change for some time hence.

The general receipts of British Corn and Flour continue
upon a very moderate scale ; even the supply of Oatmeal has
fallen off materially this week, and we have no fresh arrivals
either from the continent of Europe or American:States :
those from Canada contain merely 1852 barrels Flour ; and
a few thousand barrels more, with some parcels of Wheat,
is all that may be expected thence up to the close of their
shipping season.

Between Tuesday last and to-day the trade has in all re-
spects preserved the same monotonous character remarked
upon in our last, the value of all articles appearing for the
time little more than nominal.

Divested of sufficient confidence in the markets to create
any lively feelings, and our Corn Exchange this morning
being literally deserted by any extensive buyers either
local or distant, the few millers and dealers in attend-
ance were so extremely inactive as to render effective
sales in any branch of the trade wholly impracticable ; hold-
ers, nevertheless, continued to require the rates generally
noted on Tuesday, yet every article appeared to be rather
depressed in value, and, in partial instances; a small abate-
ment was conceded.

ANCIENT ADVERTISEMENTS

To a newspaper reader of the present day, the advertise-
ments to be found in these antique prints [Glasgow papers a
century ago] are somewhat amusing. While in our own
times it would be considered a matter of indelicacy, if not of
absolute supererogation, to enlarge on the virtues, the beauty,
or the dower of a bride in the common notifications of mar-
ll riages, it was the custom, a century ago, to apprise the wort
of all the most prominent qualities of a lady who had
entered into wedlock. Thus we find such notices as tl•
