The Mason ' s heart will rejoice when the procession of the
interesting youths , the objects of his fostering care , shall pass in view before him , aud the cup of generous wine will be doubly inspiriting by the noble sentiment to which it will be dedicated . The Board of Stewards are at present not complete , but there is good report of their number . There are no particular points for remark beyond the gratify ing fact that the resolution passed at the Quarterly General Meeting in July ( making an addition of five boys ) , was confirmed by the Quarterly General Meeting of October aiid consequently the number of children educated and clothed is for the future to be sixty . For the
election , which will take p lace on Monday the Sth of January , 1 S 38 , it appears there are six vacancies and sixteen candidates for the valuable education given by the charity . At the Quarterly General Meeting in October , it was resolved—That the thanks of this Meeting be g iven to the President , \ ice-President , and the other Members of the Committee of Stewards , for conducting the late excursion to Chatham , on the 26 th of July last , for
their kind and valuable exertions ; and also to Brother Coe , the Treasurer to tbe Committee of Stewards , for the warm and zealous attention he has always paid to the interests of this Institution . THE GIRLS' SCHOOL . —The affairs of the charity are in general prosperous , and the House Committee are most anxiously looking forward to the 16 th of May , when the " Jubilee" will take place . We have understood that the Board of Stewards will probably amount to fifty , iu
compliment to the event , and it may not be too much to anticipate that their liberality , aided by the contributions of their friends , may enable them to collect at least one thousand pounds . AVe suggest that an appropriate hymn should be written and composed for the occasion , to be sung by the happy juvenile choir in the gallery , and that an Address should also be spoken by one of the elder children . We have an eye upon some of cur contributors who would feel happy to receive a request from the House Committee , and if we receive an intimation , we will answer for their immediately invoking their muse in favour of an Institution so deserving of their lays .
