The School will be divided into two Departments, the Classical and the Modern. The Pupils in the Classical Department will, it is hoped, with the inducement of the Exhibition before them, attain a standard which may open to diem paths of distinction in the Univoisilies at home. Those in the Modern Department, not pursuing their classical studies beyond the requirements ol the Military and, East India Colleges at home, will have their attention turned more especially to the modern languages (thou these will also be taught in the classical department) and to the higher branches of Mathematics. By this division it is hoped that a sound education, whether Classical or Commercial, may be attained, while boys will b»ve opportunities and inducements to pro* ;ross, that may enable them to obtain distinction in any oftUelearned professions, or to pass with credit auv examination that Hoys who have been in the School twelve months are eligible to three Exhibitions of 100/. per annum each, tenable, for four years, at any of the English Universities, or at Trinity College Dublin. There is also a scholarship of 25/. per annum, held for one year by a boy in the school. The School will re assemble on Wednesday the Ist of August.

Auckland, 28th August, 1855. A N A PP E A L To the inhabitants of the Province of Auckland, in behalf (if the Destitute Families of British Soldien and Sailors engaged in (he War', and oflhe Widows and Orphans of such of them as have been, or may be Slain, in llaltle, or Perish in consequence of the Fatigues and hardships to which they are exposed. npHE Committee appointed at the Public MeelI ing, held at the Odd Fellow's Hall, ooSaluray the 28th April las!, hog to inform their Fellow Colonists, that in accordance villi a Resolution of the Committee, a Deputation of its members will wail upon the Inhabitants of the Proviucee at their own dwellings, in order to give each on, an opportunity of testifying his admiration and gratitude towards the Sea and band Forces, by contributing towards the relief of those whom their valour has bequeathed lo their Country. It is hoped that the Inhabitants of the Province of Auckland will shew, by the liberality of their contributions, that they participaleinthefeelings of admiration and sympathy which have been manifested throughout the British Empire. The heavy taxation (o which our fellow country men in the United Kingdom are subject, has not prevented their voluntary offerings in support oflhe Widows and Orphans. The other Colonies of the British Empire have vied with each other in liberality. Even England's children, who have long ceased to acknowledge her sway, have taken up with enthusiasm the cause of those who are fighting the battles of Freedom and civilization. New York alone has, it is said, contributed 100,000/. And other members of (he American Union will doubtless equal New York in liberality. One Individual in the neighbouring Colony of New South Wales has subscribed 1000/, several 500/ each, many from 100/. lo 25(W. The inhabitants of this yonng Colony cannot neighbours in the amount of their subscriptions, but it is their duly lo manifest a like spirit by giving according lo their means. It is much lo be feared thai, liberal as the contributions have been, they will fall short oflhe necessities which have to be provided for. Many thousands have already fallen in battle, and by sickness; and there is every reason to fear that many thousands more will fail before an honorable and lasting peace can be secured. It becomes us then not less as Christians, than as Britons, lo exercise with liberal hearts and open hands, that charity which is doubly blest, blessing those who give as well as those who receive. By direction of (he Committee, James Busby, Secretary. May 3, 1855.
