SCHOOL INSPECTION. - On Tuesday last, the Rev.

Their repetition was a model of simplicity and thoroughness, and their answering was very good indeed.

LECTURE ON IRELAND. - On Thursday evening, Nov. 1st, Mr. T. F. FERRIER, the well known lecturer to working men, gave an interesting address on Ireland and Home Rule in the School-room (kindly lent by the Committee). The chair was taken by Mr. James LEAN, at 7.30, by which time the School-room was densely packed. The Chairman referred to the approaching election in January for the County Councils, and hoped that political party lines would not be followed, but that the best men of all classes, magistrates, manufacturers, farmers, &c., would be elected. A Council thus elected would command the confidence of all. Mr. FERRIER then gave a long and interesting address and placed on the canvas some fine views of Irish scenery. He was listened to thoughout with much pleasure, many of his political hits meeting with rounds of applause. At the close a hearty vote of thanks was given to the lecturer, and also to the Chairman, and Committee for the use of the School-room. The meeting closed with cheers and the singing of the National Anthem.
