rious schools, however, assembled in the saloon
of the Assembly Rooms, where some very in
terestng ceremonies took place. We noticed
the beautiful banner of the Male High School,
as also the banners of Schools, Nos 8, 6, and
8 in the room. The ceremonies were conduct

cited speeches and addresses they had learned
for the occasion, which were delivered in fine
style, and brought forth deserved and repeated
applause from the auditory. The speech of
John Adams, by young master, was most ex-

attain. The addresses were wel-timed, and
delivered in a manner calculated to make a
lasting impression upon the scholars present.
Capt. Volandt's and Capt. Metz's brass bands
were present, and interspersed the ceremonies
with most excellent music; playing several
selected airs, to the great delight of the iu-
venile audience. AT the close of the ceebra-
