following boys , who had been recommended to the Committee of Management for prizes : —• First Writing , Albert Goodrich ; 2 nd or junior ditto , William Turner Manger . 1 st History , John AVilliam Hill ; 2 nd or junior ditto , Roland Horatio AVard . 1 st Geography , George Bruhl Daly : 2 nd or junior ditto , AVilliam Turner Manger . 1 st General Information , George Henry Joseph Holt ; 2 nd or junior ditto , William Prentice Hewlett . 1 st ArithmeticJohn AVilliam Hill ; 2 nd or junior ditto
, , Frederick Kislingbniy . Tlie Rev . BROTHER said he had great pleasure in making the presentation , as , in consequence of an untoward circumstance , to which he need not particularly allude , —the examination had this year almost entirely devolved upon himself ; but that circumstance had enabled him more particularly to notice the great progress which the various boys bad made in every branch of education , and whieh had rendered it a most difficult task to award the prizes . Iu the French examination he had had the assistance of Mons . Delillemaster at Christ ' s Hospital
, , who had also expressed his great satisfaction at the progress made by the boj-s . The education they now" gave to the children was certainly much improved within tlie last two or three years ; but he could not help feeling how great would be the advantage of bringing them together under one roof ; for , though the Committee might exercise , under the present arrangement , great and useful supervision over the boys educated in the metropolis , it was impossible that they could do so effectually with those residing in the Provinces . The Rev . Brother then introduced each of the boys to the Chairmanwho briefly explained in
, what branches of education they excelled , and tho reasons for bestowing the prizes . He also introduced to the notice of the noble Marquis , Robert Shackle , one ofthe late pupils , who , having left the school , had been apprenticed to a wharfinger at Southampton ; but , on hearing that the examination was about to take place , had voluntarily come up to town , and presented himself for examination . He was happy to say that Shackle had shown how well he had bestowed
his time in improving himself in the various departments of education ; and though he trusted that it would not be established as a precedent to give prizes to the boys after they had left the school , he had felt no hesitation in recommending Shackle to the Committee for some mark of their favour , and he was happy to say that the Committee had agreed with him that he ought to be presented with a prize . The prizes having been distributed , — The Earl of YARBOROUGHaddressing the childrensaid he could not allow
, , them to pass without informing them that the Committee felt that they had done their best at school in improving themselves in the various branches of education ; and he trusted that they would continue to do so . With regard to Shackle , he felt that his exertions to improve himself had done him great credit ; and though he , too , hoped that the presentation of a prize to him might not be drawn into a precedent , lie was very glad that he had been recommended to the Committee for such distinction , as it would show to the other children that they never forget a boy whose conduct entitled them to support . It did so happen that , in the position
. which he had the honour to fill in society , it sometimes fell to his lot to be able to assist others ; and he begged to assure those boys who had received prizes from the Committee , that if hereafter he could be of any use to them , either in giving them advice or finding them employment , he should feel it his duty to exercise his influence to the utmost of his ability , and eveiy boy might feel assured that they would never have any difficulty in gaining access to him . The CHAIRMAN would say very few words in recommending tbe toast be was now about to propose . Of the merits of the Institution he was sure they were
all fully convinced , and tbe very satisfactory report they bad received of the progress of the boys must be highly gratifying to them . He felt that the success of the Institution , in a great measure , depended upon the exertions of tlie Officers , and of none more than their respected Treasurer , Bro . Cabbell . He would therefore ask them to drink " The health of the Officers , and prosperity to the Institution" ( cheers ) .
