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 So phocles.
2. Saxon. Translation of Ditto. Dale.
__

3. Iliff. The Voice of Spring. Mrs. Hemans
4. Stewart. Cataline's Address to tho
Conspirators.

10. Chilton. The Mummy,

Anonymous

11. Fletcher. Paradise and the Peri,

Moore

12. Petty. The Wizard's Grave. Scott.
We 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. lliffe 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 Edipus, 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 oar beloved land, which could be the production only of a
born poet and a genuine patriot. Mr, Boutdower 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.

LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET,
DUCEMBER 15, 1842.
Since the gth instant, the arrival of Potatoes has been light.
There has been little variation in the aspect of the trade since
our last report—moderate supplies from all quarters have been
met,by an equally moderate retail demand, at prices varying little
from the quotations of our last,—the great bulk of the business
being chiefly confined to the operations of country dealers from the
interior, who have been purchasing the best run of Cups from 12d
to 121 d, and the small quantity sold in retail at the quay range from
13d to lad per gulb.-15d has in some instances been realized for
very choice quality.
Our local farmers are free sellers of all descriptions of agricul-
tural produce, at the undermentioned currency, viz :

ROYAL INSTITUTION SCHOOL

The annual examination of the pupils under the tuition of
he Rev. Dr. huff, in the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street,
ook place on Tuesday last, before the President of the
[nstitution, J. B. Yates, Esq., the Mayor, Robertson Glad-
.tone, Esq., and a very numerous assemblage of the most
•espectable families of the town.
The following is a programme of the examinations :-
1. Poole. Death of Udipus Sophocles.

2. Saxon. Translation of Ditto

3. Ili ff. The Voice of Spring. Mrs. Hemans
4. Stewart. Cataline's Address to the
Conspirators. Sallust.

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 (Edipus, 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.

THIS Society has been established upwards of thirty-four
years. All just Claims upon its Funds have been
promptly and liberally settled. Nearly Two Millions and a
Half have been thus paid away on expired Policies; and, to
meet the existing engagements of the Institution, it possesses
Funds amounting to upwards of A MILLION AND THREE
QUARTERS, almost wholly invested on Real and Government
Securities.

The Rates of Premium are below those of most other
Offices, and under the age of forty-five not less so than ten
per cent.—a benefit in itself equivalent to an Annual Bonus;
whilst periodical additions are also made to the sums assured
upon all Policies for the whole duration of Life, in proportion
to the amount of premium paid. The full advantage of
Life Assurance is thus enjoyed by the Members of this In-
stitution.

The subjoined List of some of the existing Policies of the
Society exhibits the aggregate amount of Bonus assigned to
each of those Policies, including that declared at the General
Meeting held on the 9th September, 1842.
