a few words to the boys and the company . He passed a high compliment on the staff of the School and the Committee of Management for the admirable manner in which it was conducted . Many persons , he said , gave large sums of money to different institutions and thought no more about it , but in this Institution he was pleased to see that the subscribers looked after their interests , and watched

the application of thc funds . The music and singing which he had heard were very creditable , and he hoped that this branch of education would be encouraged , and prizes given for proficiency in it . He had gone over the buildings and seen how things were conducted , and though he had been over many other institutions , he had seen none better conducted , or one where greater attention was paid

to order and cleanliness . 1 he management was perfection . To the pupils he said he was but lately a schoolboy himself , and he would like again to be one , for it was the happiest period of his life . But they must remember that they must work , and work hard , if they wished to get on ; and if a boy was successful in any branch of learning the others must not be downcast .

Bro . Roebuck proposed , and Bro . Rosenthal seconded , a vote of thanks to Lord Balfour of Burleigh for presiding , which was carried unanimously amidst great cheering , and his lordship , having responded , shortly afterwards left , and the company sat down to a splendid cold collation . After the cloth was cleared the festivities were continued , dancing was kept up till late in the evening , the

grounds and apartments were inspected , and general approbation was expressed of the condition of the School . The pupils appeared to be in the best health , and very happy . The list of prizes , of which we were informed there was but one copy , had not reached us at the time of our going to press .
