    at The the governors Cutlers Hall of the , on Institution Wednesday held , the their 26 ei th ghth Octob annual er , when meeting the

    report of the board of management was as follows : — " The eighth annual meeting of the governors finds the Deakin

    Institution in circumstances of unabated prosperity , whilst the continued liberality of its supporters justifies a hope that the manner in

    which this board has conducted the business of the Institution has met with the approbation of the general body of governors .

    " The permanent capital of the Deakin Institution has been augmented during the j _> _ast year by donations amounting to £ 386 .

    "It will be satisfactory to this meeting to know that during the past twelve months the secretary has had personal interviews with

    the distant objects of the Deakin bounty , and after a strict inspection of each case , he was able to assure the board of management

    that the governors had acted wisely in selecting the individuals who have bees appointed .

    " In the report presented to the sixth annual meeting of this Institution allusion "was made to the list of applications containing the

    name of a person in the actual receipt of parish relief ; the same individual is again recommended this year , but with the omission of

    this circumstance of the parish allowance in the statement of her present condition ; the board refer again to the subject , as amongst

    the informal applications of this year were two recommended by a clergyman in Warwickshire , both of whom were on the parish

    books ; and this board cannot help asking with some impatience , whether it is likely that the governors of the Deakin Institution have

    subscribed their money to relieve a rural district in Warwickshire of its pauper population ?

    " The board have to acknowledge an act of liberality by Mrs . Mooredaughter of the late Rev . Thomas Radfordformerly

    incum-, , bent of St .- James ' s Church , in this town , which deserves the

    special notice they desire to take of it . Some years back , Mrs . Moore .
