An immense crowd was present on the Boor and in th e galleries, and great excitement was mani fested. Lord eh/Tendon regretted that thisques tion was made a party , measure.: Ireland never had gained anything •in the battle field of party polities. He criticised the Irish, policy of the /ate. Derby Ministry, and Raid he distrusted the policy of She presentDabinet. He thought it' was safer for the Church to make terms with its avowed opponents - than trust no professed friend. If the .Church of England fell into a minority, his affection for it would re main ; but his conscience would not support_ it . aa.. an es tablished ,Church. He was in:fa-vox of aumatablishing the /dr& Church, but he would not disendow it. He concluded with the declaration that he should vote for the Suspensory bilk [Great Lord Rosem the Whig benches.) - ' Lord dale said this bill was a sacri lege, and the Qnben's sanction of-it ought to be barred by the coronation oath. Lord Marlborough said the bill was only an effort of the Liberals to gain office at any cost. Lords Duffer and Rornilly , spoke in support of the bill, and t he Archbishops of York and Armogy in opposition. The Marquis or Eialisbury said the bill shoal/lA/Lye been made to, exclude fixture holder* of ,benilloas from compensation. As this was not done, he thought the ob ject of its framers was to commit the Lords to some ulterior • design. This was no. plan of clisendowment; but the fra mers threatened that if it were not passed, worse would,ibllow. If a worse one could be - franied they would'have done it.

IEM 1 Ammencement Exercises of the second Ward Public School—An Interesting Oc cashm--Leave Taking With the Printi. pal and Presentations. ! , The Public School ,of the Second , ward has long enjo yed enviable reputation, d has been justly 'regarded equal to many f the best private Colleges and Academies the Commonwealth. The ward is not a Populous one, being largely taken up wi h business houses and manufactories, se th t, , the class rooms' are not overcrowded wit h pupils, there being an ' average attenda nts quite inside the eapacitiwof the schoo . a i The annual commencement exercises marked with - a degree of proficiency an learning which renders -, them - highly tractive and inviting to the friends ofedcl cation in the city as well as ta, the-parent ' 1 and immediate . patrons of "the. school It " was not singular therefore t on the occasion of the common:icemen yesterday a' large and highly intelligen and appreciative audience assembled in th main school room to participate 'in the ex ercises. The boys and girls of the varid departments were handsomely attired fo the occasion,. presenting as bright ' an charming an array of happy, youthful, pretty faces as we have ever seen together. The exereisescommenced with a few perti nent. intraitictOry remarks by Prof. Ma Ortun,the Principal, after which the pretty and in:Spiriting vaciffization 'of "Hail th' happy day!'Was,rendered in pleasing any faultless style by the scholam, who, untie: the direction of ProfM'Cabe, have made ad mirable progress in that popular 'branch -oi common school education. Miss Maggie Wilson read a poetical selection in c lea r and pretty style, and was folloW ed by Master J. S. Arnold in a, spicy and htunorons declamation in , which he acquitted himself declamation, much credit. Miss Vary Cunningham, a sprightly, - intelligent pupil, reasi,nfrag‘ ment of poetry in very good manner. Mitre Julia De 'Lange next read a diff i cult and intricate poetical gem and displayed nnu suet powers of elocution, giving full and 'fine effect to every line and sentence. bias. ter George Cunningham--read, a prose Felt"- tion with animation and acquitted himself nobly. We believe we have mentioned all of the scholars who participated in the pro-, grainme, which was here and there inter-' sporsed with choice musical offerings by the entire school. At the conchilion of the exercises ~ Prof. Maeruni delivered his , farewell address to the pupils, announcing that his termination with thetehool follow ed. the. day. his resignation, that he might, enter into a new sphere of life, having been aceepOid by the Board of Directors.• He expreised himself as deeply rained to part wittrthe lady associates of the school who had'antributed so much towards its sllO - and the care/ p i and thorough training of 'the Scholars. It was a sad task to Md.°, final adieu to the many radiant fee*, about him, and the good hearted Principal welt nigh broke down in - his farewell ad dress to those kir and amo . : whom he has so faithfully and zealously .. red during the past few years. Many t . ere were more than the scholars andladY teachers who/kit, the tears fbrifirig themselves adown their cheeks at the parting of a dearly loved Principal with his pupils.

On behalf of the first class, Miss Kate Porter, in a voice moved , with feeling and emotion, and in a few well selecte4 words, presented an elegantly framed cab inet sized photographic group of the por traits of the members, of. that, class. Then followed in this ,unexpected shower of beautiful presients several costly volumes I I from the lady teachers, and the recipient was overwhelmed in his endeavors to re apond to all the "kindly addresses directed to him..
