SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

Last evening was a happy one with the pupils and patrons of the High School, Svmonds-atreet, under the superintendence of Mrs. Shayle George. The entertaiDmeat consisted of a bazaar, speeches, prizes, feastin? and dancing. The articles of the bazaar were the work and contributions of the young ladies, and were generally admired. Two valuable pictures were raffled for during the evening, one a beautiful landscape painting by Mr Hoyte, and the other a steel engraving after Sir Edwin Landeeer. The framework of leather was by Miss Richardson the teacher in this department of the school. The singing was highly creditable, under the tutorship of Mr. Brown. Ber. Dr. Kidd, at the request of Mrs. George, informed the audience of the results of the exanimation of the pupils, which was highly creditable to the establishment, riir George Grey, who was received with cheers, then handed the prize-books to the scholars.
