ROYAL FREEMASONS' SCHOOL FOR FEMALE CHILDREN . —One of the most interesting dinners of the season took place on Wednesday evening at the great hall of the Freemasons' Tavern . A very large body of Freemasons were present , under the presidency of their Grand Master , the Earl of Zetland . In the course of the evening , the girls belonging to the school , each two led by a Freemason , walked in procession round the hall . Their appearance and conduct did great credit to those under

This gratifying scene was witnessed with peculiar interest by a large number of the fair sex who occupied the gallery . The girls receive a plain education , and are instructed in the various arts which
qualify them for making good servants : and the best principles being inculcated in their minds , the chances are that they fill their stations with that attention to their duties which confers a comfort on those who are fortunate enough to obtain their services . During the time the children were on the platform , the Earl of Zetland made a most feeling address to the company , at the same time stating that he thought the sight before them spoke , in more impressive language than he could use ,
