Gleig, M.A. At a time when public sympathy is deeply engaged on behalf of those gallant men of all ranks who are freely shedding their blood in their country's cause, or falling victims to that fa.al disease of whose ravages we have recently had the most melan choly proof, the Governors of the Wellington College, for the education of orphan eons of officers in the military service of the Crown or of the East India Company, deem it their duty to call the attention of the couutry to the state and prospects of the In stitution for whioh they are trustees, and earnestly to solicit foe it continued and increased support. On the death of the late illustrious Duke of Wellington, it was very generally felt that no more appropriate monument could be raised to his memory than a building which, exclusive of its external appearance and architectural merit, should serve the higher purpose of giving a gratuitous, or nearly gratuitous, edu cation to the orphans of that profession of which he was himself the head and the brightest ornament—of a class of men who, possessing strong claims upon the gratitude of their country, too often leave to their families no othet inheritance than an honoured name, and to whom the bitterest pang of approaching death must be the knowledge of the consequent destitution o f those most dear to them. Her Majesty was pleased to milm• deep interest in the proposed scheme, and to mark her royal spproval by conferring aoharter of incorporation upon the volun tary association, and by liberally subscribing to its funds. Con tributions poured in from the most distant portions of her Majesty's dominions, and at the expiration of two years the Governors had at their disposal a sum of 105,a00/., which has been increased by interest received, after deducting all expenses, to 109,0001., their present available balance. After minute inquiry it appeared that, supposing a suitable building to be provided, the expenses of lodging, boarding, and partly clothing sixty boys, together with washing, medical ex. penses, setvants, fuel, light, taxes. &c., and supplying the salaries of efficient masters, might, with rigid economy, be covered by an outlay of 601. per head; and that, if the number were increased to one hundred, the average outlay would be from 501. to 551. The Governors, therefore, came to the determination to invest, as they have done, on mortgage, at 4 per cent. interest, a sum of 80,000/., yielding an Runnel income of 9,2001., while they propose to derive from the payments of one hundred boys, at rates vary ing from 101. to 301.! a further sum of 2,1001., making a total of 5,3001. a year. But they were of opinion that the number of one hundred boys might, if adequate funds were provided, be moat advantageously increased, and even with Rome, though not very considerable, reduction of the average charge; and they thought it desirable that provision should be made in the building to be erected for the ultimate reception of fully two hundred boys. At an expense of 1,2001. they have obtained possession of a site comprising 182 acres of wild land, combining every possible re quisite for their purpose, on elevated, yet sheltered ground, on the line of the Reading and Reigate Railway, about two Taos from the Military College of Sandhurst, and looking to the eelaills west over an extensive line of country to the residence of the illustrious Duke to whose honour it is to be erected. They next proceeded to obtain a plan and design for the pro posed College, and they have great pleasure in expressing their unqualified approval of one which they have received from the eminent architect, Mr. Shaw, both as to its exterior elevation, and as to its admirable internal adaptation to its object. Ten. ders have been received from many of the leading firms for the execution of this design, the lowest of which is barely under 40,0001. for the building itself. including the principal fixtures and fittings ; but, adding to this amount the sums required for the purchase of the site, for the erection of a chapel and Infir mary, for boilers and steam machinery, for kitchen apparatus, and for ensuring an abundant supply of pure water, the Go. vernors do not think they should be justified in estimating the total outlay at less than 55,0001. Towards this sum the Governors have on hand a balance of 99,0001., leaving therefore a deficiency on the estimated outlay of about 26,0001., exclusive of the annual sum which may be required to enable them to extend the full benwfits of the Institution to the whole number of 220 boys, which the building is calculated to accommodate. It is true that, at the expiration of the two years which must probably be occupied in the erection of the College, their funds will be increased, by the accumulation of interests, to the extent of about 7,0001., and it is also true thati by postponing for some years the opening of the College, by building in the first instance only the shell, or a portion of the shell, and gradually enlarging the internal accommodation, the Governors may be enabled, out of their accruing interests, to complete the whole work in pro. case of time: but independently of this mode of operation being far more costly in the end, it is iu every respect infinitely less satisfactory ; above all, it postpones, almost indefinitely, the opening of an institution, of which events are daily and painfully demonstrating the urgent need. Exclusive of the provision made for the children of soldiers in the varietal military uylums of the country, the nation, with a noble generosity, has contributed a sum exceeding a million sterling, to be applied through the medium of the Patriotic Fund, to the relief of the pecuniary distress of the widows and children of soldiers felling victims to the present war; but the Royal Commission administering that fund have decided that, except in very rare and exceptional cases, no part of it is applicable to the widows of officers, and no part, in any case, to the education children. 721 practical education, which may It hint for meeting the diM calties of his future career. Such is the relief which the Wellington College aims at givlugb and giving as early as possible. The Governors would have bees gratified had her Majesty's Govenunent thought tit to propose to Parliament to great a comparatively small sum for this truly national object; and they cannot doubt that such as appeal, if yet made, would meet with the ready concurrence of Parliament ; but in the absence of any such assistance, the Governors will sot for a moment believe that when war and disease are daily fearfully to the number of claimants on such a charity, the public, which has already so liberally testified its apprecdation of the object, will turn a deaf ear to their urgent appeal, or hesitater by' an early and generous effort, to enable the G overbore utast W.I. lington College to extend, at no distant period, the full beneath of their Charity to objects which at this time have a peculiar and a sacred claim on their benevolence.
