,, 1 for some on course h in" * the establishment for the admission of a greater ' mber ° of pupils , the grounds did not present the pleasant " arance they have shewn on former occasions , bricks "' '•J mortar and other building materials not being very a " turcsque . But everything had been done to put the j " r on the establishment under the circumstances ,
d laving' the unfinished buildings on one side , everya . c - as as neat and orderly as the known system 1 ucd on the premises might lead visitors to expect . The noble Chairman was received by Bro .

offices and shown the arrrangements which are in force for the ' health , comfort , and happiness of the . 160 pupils at sent ; n the school . The party was afterwards conducted over the new buildings , which will very shortly be opened , and as this is the first time we have seen them since they have been in so forward a state we may take the opportunity of saying that the space at command has
been utilised to the utmost , and that the means found for affording the additional accommodation , reflect tbe greatest credit on all concerned . When the building is opened we shall give a full description of it , but the Craft may rost satisfied that the increased accommodation has been left in excellent hands , and that the wishes of the brethren to have an establishment equivalent to the present demands
of the Order have bren consulted as far as practicable . The Chairman and visitors expressed the greatest satisfactien with what they saw and heard , after having made starching enquiries into the whole regime . When the inspiction of the buildings hail been completed , the girls were put through their famed calisthenic exercises and marching , with all of which Lord Suffield seemed much

The installation meeting of the Friendl y Chapter took place on Monday last . A report will appear in our next . ^^ The advice of the late Mr . Thackeray was as much prized by his friends as his literary genius was appreciated by his fellow-country-mcn . A young lady
of his acquaintance , knowing how wide and deep was his knowledge of worldly matters , one day asked him what would be the best present to make to her old friend and schoolfellow , who was just married , and was now setting up housekeeping . " My dear , " replied the great novelist . " you may be certain your young friends are thinking onl y of the luxurious and the ornamental in their purchases . Now , suppose you take the useful and the practical side .
My dear , you cannot do better than present your friends with a filter—a Lipscombe's filter , mind . It is the best kind of filter I know . " This was some years since , and the merits of Lipscombe's filters have become more and more esteemed as their use has spread . We find that to meet the enormous demand for these filters Messrs . Lipscombe , in addition to their well-known house at Temple-bar , have opened extensive premises at 54 , Queen Victoriastreet , City , and 6 9 , Oxford-street .
