Taylor a bunion and corn, which she had for ten years, without the leas GRAND BAZAAR AT THE LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION, FOR THE PURPOSE OF FOUNDING A LENDING LIBRARY FOR ITS MEMBERS. This great undertaking, so long and anxiously expected by numbers of our fair townswomen, has at length been brought to a close, with a success and éclat beyond the most sanguine expectations of its promoters, and a sum of money thereby realised which, if economically managed, should purchase books to the extent of nearly 10,000 volumes, and thereby, with the presents of books already received, found a library of 11,000 volumes—a most ample commencement, seeing that the books will be all useful. The idea of a bazaar to be held at Christmas, 1845, originated a year ago with Mr. Procter, and he was ably supported in his views by the then mayor, James Lawrence, Esq., who not only accepted the chairmanship of the committee which was formed for the promotion of the bazaar, but procured the consent of his lady to take a stall. The senior rector speedily secured the patronage of the Countess of Sefton, Lady F. Sandon, Lady Stanley, Lady F. Egerton, Lady Douglas, and several local ladies of distinction, and the matter was going on favourably. A number of gentlemen undertook to wait upon ladies with a view to their acceptance of stalls. This was, however, done in so partial a manner, and so very little progress made, that it became evident that if the bazaar was held at all it must be postponed to a later date. The late mayor went out of office, and his successor kindly undertook to assist, and it is impos sible to speak too highly or gratefully of his exertions. Accordingly Easter, 1846, was definitely fixed upon. The pro crastinating principle being still at work, and those who had originally undertaken to procure ladies to take the stalls having failed to perform their promises, the duty of doing so devolved upon Mr. Muncaster and another gentleman, by whose exer tions all the ladies, with the exception of about three, were induced to accept the laborious duties which they have dis charged, and promisess of contributions o a large extent were obtained from many hundreds of ladies. It had been arranged that the Bazaar should be held in the room generally known as the Great Picture Gallery, from the cir cumstance of its having contained a number of beautiful pic tures (valued for insurance at ..i'50,000), at the Polytechnic Ex hibition, formerly held at the Institution. The room is nearly 220 feet long, beautifully lighted from the roof, but compara tively narrow and low ; and as it had been simply intended for a class-room, in which drawing is taught, the walls are unplas tered, and the room without ornaments. It therefore became an object to render this room suitable for the Bazaar, so as to give it apparent breadth, height, and elegance, at the least pos sible expense. Mr. Bishop, the drawing master of the Institu tion was consulted on these matters, and those who have at tended the Bazaar, will be best able to say how well he has ac complished all that was desired. Some idea of the elegance imparted to this room may be conceived, when we state that the whole surface of the walls was covered with delicately co loured draperies, from end to end, and a canopy of the same materials, raised from each stall to the centre of the ceiling. The groundwork was white, with narrow stripes of fluted blue in the hangings, forming pilasters. The blue draperies not only gave coolness, but also an appearance of width, (pink drapery would have had an opposite effect,) whilst the canopies, although apparently tending to diminish the height of the room, actually gave it the appearance of greater loftiness. The drawing desks of the Institution, 30 inches wide, and 17 feet long, with sloping tops, were covered with white drapery, and converted into tables well adapted in every sense to the pur poses for which they were required, a fluted drapery of scarlet cloth being hung round the tables, forming an agreeable con trast with the blue and white drapery of the room, and pro ducing harmony of colouring of a very effective character. A platform, covered with carpeting, was raised behind the tables, to elevate the ladies above their customers, and a series of forms, covered with cushions kindly lent by the Philharmonic Society, ran behind for the accommodation of the fair stall keepers •, these, however, were scarcely needed, as we seldom perceived any of them occupied, such was the anxiety to make sales. Down the centre of the room a range of forms, covered . with scarlet cloth, were in the first instance arranged; but as to the interruption of business,' they were 'afterwards re: moved to the corridor, where they found a constant succession of occupants. Festoons of pink ? yellow, and white roses and evergreens (the latter supplied in great abundance by the Earl canopies of each stall, and give the appearance of an inter minable rural archway when gazed upon from either end of the room. The effect of this was much heightened on the third eveninz, when the room was lighted with gas ; there really seemed to be no end to the multitude of stars which twinkled in the distance. Behind each stall was placed a full-sized shield, on which was emblazoned the arms or crests of the families of distinction connected with the Institution. Those of the Mayor were very appropriately placed behi n d th e cen t re s t a ll, occu pied by the lady president. To the right were those of the Bishor I .^ 'he 1 " he It ,p, anc to left of L. ,ev. Rector Brooks. On the other stalls might be seen those of Lords Stanley, Sandon, F. Egerton, the Earl of Sefton, &c. These shields, as well as the miniature banners placed on either side of them, were the production -of Mr. Bishop's uhtiring pencil. At the south end of the building, a room opening into the long-room was devoted to a refreshment-room, the walls of which were le covered with blue and white cloth, and festooned with ever- greens and flowers. It contained two large tables tastefully draperied. The corresponding room to the north of the long room was neatly fitted up with the same coloured hangings, as a postoffice, and two small windows, tastefully wreathed, were prepared as frames for lovely animated portraits. The extent of the bazaar, as viewed from the back of the refreshment-room to that of the postoffice, was not less than 290 feet. she grand staircase was decorated with evergreens and flowers, several car toons by Mr. Spence, and a view of the Institution, cleverly painted by Mr. Oakes, assistant drawing -master of the Institu tion, which was carried in procession before Lord Stanley, when the foundation-stone was laid. Seen from one end, the whole presented the appearance of a magnificent elongated tent, or rather of one of those sumptuous palatial apartments of which we read in tales of Arabia. At length every arrangement being complete, the public were admitted on Tuesday, the 14th April, at ten o'clock, the charge for admission being 2s. 6d. for each adult, and Is. for children under twelve, and ladies' bbarding schools. An excellent band, of fourteen performers, under the able direc tion of Mr. Gribbin, comprising many of the best musicians in the town, played alternately on wind and stringed instrume n ts the most popular and fashionable music of the day, and gave general satisfaction. The coup d'cell upon entering the room was most striki• 'd appearance the beauty dug and picturesque, not on, from its genera, which we have previously described, but from and fashion displayed by the fair stall-keepers, attired as they were in the most elegant and fascinating style, and their lovely faces beaming with pleasure and excite ment. The storehouse of nature's beauty seemed to have been ransacked for the occasion. The stalls, too, crowded as they were with articles of taste_ and vertu, displayed in so many artistica Ees on t he walla and tables, Contributed to as an adequate conception of the magic -like effect—no pen can give an accurate account of the scene presented. The beauty of the fair sellers and the exquisite productions of art with which they were surrounded defy description. We have been at many Bazaars, and were prepared to expect something strik- ing, brit we are compeyeeto - confess thitt we have never yet gazed upon one combining so much of the picturesque, scenic, and elegant as the one now closer!, and in the opinion of many persons, wall qualified to judge, the effect lies never been sur passed on any similar occasion. Taking the stalls in succession as they were placed, we shall perambulate the room, andt ake a glance at the contents of each. No. 1, to the left of the entrance door, was occupied by Mrs. Hendrick. This lady was assisted by her daughter, the Misses Monday, the Misses Harbord, and Miss Armstrong. At this stall wai . exhibited a beautiful doll's bed, with blue silk draperies, thepresent of the lady of the Rev. Rector Brooks, :ng demennchn : of IV. tants, and the indefatigable exertions of several young F,entle men by whom she was ably assisted, contributed materially to promote the success of her stall.—Stall No. 2 was occupied by Mro..f.

Several crayon drawings of great merit, the work of Airs. Barton Wilson, were hung up behind the stall, one of which, a portrait of the Rev. Hugh Al‘Neile, was sold for fib. The principal add 8 i tors to this stall were Miss Spottiswoode of Misses Horsley of the Isle of \figlii; iiiis7Ridg;;;To7ereste7, &c.—Stall Nos. 4 and 5, Mrs. W. Bennett, assisted by her daughter and her sisters, and several fair ladies. This stall looked exceedingly well. Amongst the beautiful articles which were an elegant iron rocking-chair, covered in red morocco, valued at £5; a brass bedstead, valued at the same amount; two des, in the male and female costume of the 16th century ; and a perfect representation of Dolly 'Warden. The Refreshment Room came next in order. Behind the tables were Mrs. John Ashton, Mrs. Osborne, Miss Bailey, Miss Christian, Miss Rees, the Misses Widdowson, &c. Too much praise cannot be awarded to these ladies fot : the patient and mdefatiguble.manner in which they discharged their arduous duties. It was impossible that they could have been more at tentive. The tables were supplied by Mr. Lynn in a profuse and lavish manner, with a truly patriotic liberality, amount ing, in fact, to a sacrifice of self-interest. The ices, jellies, (many of the ratter contributed by Mrs. Roper,) were soon de molished on the first day. The beautiful ornaments were fabri cated by Mr. Lynn. In this room was - exhibited a newly in vented musical instrument, combining the powers of the sera phine with those of the accordion; that is to say, the performer has the power of producing the sustained tone of the great organ, or of increasing and diminishing the tone at pleasure, as in the swell. Passing again to the Great Room, we come to stall 6, which was filled with a rare collection of green-house plants, the contribution of Mr. Skirving.—No. 7 was occupied by Mrs. Stephens, Miss Barber, and Miss Martin. The prin cipal contributors to this stall were Miss Mottram, and the Rev. Mr. Gardner.—No. 8, Mrs. Hynde, assisted by her daughter, Miss Rees, Miss Booth, Miss Elizabeth Bailey, of Staffordshire, and Mrs. Gaskell and daughters. A beautiful minature French bedstead, contributed by Airs. Hooton, (not Mr. Abbott, as stated in another paper,) attracted much attention. It was of the finest polished mahogany, with striped silk curtains, 'and the bedding complete. It was one of the most elegant and clever specimens of modern art in the room, the maker having spared neither time nor expense in rendering it perfect and proportionate in every respect. This stall also contained a superbly embroidered satin apron by Mrs. Clare, and a tortoiseshell walking stick.—No. 9, Airs. Abbott and her fair daughters. This stall contained a variety of articles of cabinet work, amongst which were a handsomely carved hand screen, and several doll beds of great elegance.—No. 10, Mrs. Zwilchenbart, assisted by her daughter, her lovely niece Miss Harrison, and Miss Emma Green. Her collection was both splendid and tasteful, including elegantly worked Ottomans, valued at 13 guineas, and three cushions valued at 7 guineas. The chief contributors were Mrs. and Miss Nevett, the Misses Wilson, Mrs. Kearsley, Mrs. Harratt, the Misses Hutchinson, the Misses Duarte, the Misses Low, and Miss Bateson.—The next (or central) stall, called No. 21, was occupied by Mrs. T. 0. Cooper, the Lady President of the Bazaar, and her interesting daughters. Its general appearance elicited universal admira tion. The centre ornament consisted of a royal crown, on a velvet cushion, curiously wrought for an African prince, with a sceptre and crozier beneath ; and under this the royal anns in superb wrought gold embroidery. Besideg a great variety of work, includingsome valuable contributions from Ladies Sandon and Douglas, was a minature greenhouse, elegantly fabricated with mahogany wood work, containing small pots with beautiful wax flowers. No. 11 was occupied by Mrs. Christian, Mrs. Sothern, and her fascinating . daughters ' • Miss Corbett, Miss Glover, Mrs. Davidson and sisters, Miss M'Morland, and Miss Hynde. The principal contributors to this stall, besides the fair occupant, were Mrs. Herdman, Miss Nicholson, Mrs. Dr. Tattershall—a piece of whose . work (subject, a hawk perched ready for ascent) was amongst the most exquisite productions in the room, A garden in the back ground, a splendid sofa cushion, with raised worked flowers, and a tortoiseshell stick, contributed by Mr. Clare, likewise ornamented the stall. No. 12, Mrs. Boyden and daughters, Mrs. Dean, and Miss Pearson. This stall contained some elegant work, the contri bution of Miss !dyers, of Chester. No. 13—Mrs, Thomas Wilson, assisted by Miss Wade and Miss Greetham. A variety of elegant fancy work. No. 14.—Mrs. Thomas Barber and her daughters. Mrs. Bar ber was the principal contributor, Mrs. James Wrigley, and Mrs. William Fish. No. 15, 16, and 17, were occupied by Mrs. and Misses Gartside, the Misses Buckley, Miss Harbord, Aliss A. Deakin, the Miss es Bowes, Miss Charlotte Gibson, the Misses Lawrence. These stalls were particularly attractive and looked remarkably well. They contained several splendid cushions, an elegant carriage, a superb chair, in the Elizabethan style, costly and el?gant wax figures, representing a Turk and two ladies; also, baskets of wax fruit, a very handsome box of shells from the West Indies; an .embroidered satin apron, which produced £3 35., and a dolls bed, .tl2.

Molyneux, Steck, Lister, Sands, Cooper, Pownall, &c., gallantly volunteered their services to officiate as stewards, and it would be impossible to speak too highly of their exertions. They contributed in the most mate rial manner not only to the comforts of the ladies attending the stalls but, also, by the i n d e f a ti ga bl e manner i n w hi c h th ey promoted the various lotteries, to the increase of the receipts, and the general success of the Bazaar.

On this day :there was little done in lotteries—all seemed anxious to buy, and the full attention of every lady was required to satisfy the demands of her cus tomers. from its own immediate vicinity, _ that ect of relief to case s occurr i ng in they,,, so populous and wealthy a district as this .._ support an independent society to take charge of its 0.. and that such cases would thereby be better provided for ? a. local institution would be likely to receive a much more liberal patronage from the people of Liverpool, than could be hoped for by a distant body. The idea meeting the approval of many ladies and gentlemen of influence and experience in the town, two provisional committees were formed, —a ladies' and a gen tlemen's committee, with the view of carrying the proposed object into effect. As a first step towards making known the nature and objects of the proposed institution, and the necessity for it, the following address was early in March printed and widely circulated :—" There are few clasa render important services to the coin , - manent advantage to themselves as GR.. early youth to struggle with the world ; in crowded by the facility with which several of i undertaken, and the limited range of era --• to females of the middle classes__ • - vernesses is necessarily & enabled to obtain a hig. young, unprotected, inexperience,., or delicacy belonging to the sex, the position for the exertion of that ener make their way into the world.

The second day (on which and the suceeeding days the admission for adults was Is. and for children 6d.) turned out wet and unpropitious ; as customers were but scarce, compared with the preceding day, ladies began to turn their attention to lotteries. At first a steward, with riband in button-hole anti hat on head, would perambulate the room with a lottery paper and pencil, request ing gentlemen only to put into his lottery. The hat was soon laid aside, and the article, whether bed, bedstead, cushion, greenhouse, bag, or any article whatever, carried on high, and each .person met, solicited. Others would go round with a basket, containing a variety of articles, any one of which might be dipped for upo n th e con t r ib ut i on o f a shilling, or instead of articles of work, pieces of paper, valued at certain prices, redeemable at certain stalls, for their amount in goods, were given as prizes. On the Thursday, however, the ladies begad to assist, and no one could walk twenty feet without being solicited by a fair lady, under the protection of a gentleman, to take a share in her lottery. Of course it was impossible to refuse, and though) nly a shilling was required in each instance, still, in a length of 220 feet, eleven shillings might in this manner be easily parted with. Success emboldened the fair solicitors, and as it was found that many persons took their seats in the corridors to enjoy the coolness of the air and s of persons wh( nunity with so little per ,‘,.rnesses.

The second day proving wet, and fears being entertained that it would be impossible to conclude the sales satisfactorily on the Thursday, it was unanimously determined by the ladies to have another day's sale.

The expenses incurred have not as yet been ascertained, but, as the tradesmen con cerned have acted with themtmost generosity, we should sup pose they may be between .e2OO and ..flOO On comparing the receipts of this bazaar with that held at the Lyceum, in September ? 1831, for the benefit of the Infirmary, we find ample cause for rejoicing. It will be remembered, that at that period the Infirmary was deeply in debt, and a grand exertion being required to extricate it from its difficulties, a bazaar was determined upon, at which twenty of the first ladies of Liverpool and its vicinity, of every shade of religion and politics, took stalls. The receipts at the stalls amounted to £2o79—at the door to .338 lls., or a total of 12400. Con. sidering therefore, that the same union of party and sects conk not have been expected at the Collegiate bazaar, that the pies of charity in the strict sense of the term could not be urged, that the locality was so much against the conflux of visitors and that the times are at present so mm must a profusc expenditure of money, the 'result must be par ing to all. The Directors of the Collegiate Institution this. In everything which they have undertake fort they have made, they have displayed an enlightened never sacrificing their future prospects to a false spirit of pru dence and economy. *The laying of the foundation stone of their building by Lord Stanley, and the magnificent banquet to his lordship which succeeded it, were never surpassed by any similar proceeding, and will never be forgotten by those who witnessed those gratifying scenes. The building itself, unri valled for beauty amongst those of a similar character in the country, and the spacious site upon which it stands will lon remain a monument of the good taste and foresight of those b whom the Institution was called into existence. There may be, and we believe there are, those, who bl Directors for having involved themselves in such a hea by which the operations of the ;Institution are somewhih crip: pled, and say that a building on a smaller scale should have sufficed. But we believe that these Carperswill be found to be men who love to hear themselves talk, and are always ready to acquire a credit for philanthropy at other peopl e ' s expense . Who that looks at the building, possessed of true nobility of soul, would wish it shorn of any ot its fair propertions, or would say that, considering the present and future wants of the com munity, the Directors have provided too liberally for their ac commodation- On the contrary the. true aim of every friend of the Institution, taking pattern from the spirited efforts of a few ladies for a min - or . purpose, should _ extinction of the remaining debt without del, effect the and thereby give the Directors full scope for the display of their energiei'.

In this place we cannot do better than introduce the post office, which was under the care of Mrs. Dixon, her lovely daughters, and Miss Williams. This department was managed in first-rate style, and formed a very prominent feature of the Bazaar. The business done, as will be seen in the list of the receipts was enormous. No one could go free. There were let ters for all, and, from the admirable arrangement of the office, the utmost satisfaction, as to the contents, prevailed. Returning to the great room, we pass the stalls 16 and 17, belonging to Mrs. Gartside, which we have already described, and come to No. 18, occupied by Mrs. Warry, assisted by Mrs. Cooke and Miss Harding. A variety of handsome contributions, sent by Mr. Muncaster, Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Lancaster, Miss Atkinson, the Misses Halliday, &c., decorated this stall. No. 19 was occupied by Mrs. Peter Wright, assisted by Miss Wright, the Misses Molyneux, of Alderley; Miss Alice Hutch- Misses Molyneux, of the Breck, Staplands, and Alderley, and Hutch inson, and Miss Lowe. Th e p r i n cipal contributors were the several other ladies, of Bristol, Chester, and elsewhere. Amongst the very many beautiful and valuable articles with which this stall was adorned, was a Pincushion of Honiton lace. It was intended as a present for her Majesty, but being seen by a gentle man connected with the Institution ' was purchased by him for the bazaar. On the t o p i s worked a sprig of moss-roses, con taining in the various flowers and buds likenesses of the Queen and Prince Albert, and the royal infants. The price fixed upon this article was .t . 5 ss. One of the most natural objects was a fac simile of an Edinburgh fish-woman, perfect in every particular c"u6 goves, of dress and equipment, with a miniature creel on her back which we understand had to be sent for all the way to the I p t itiboliasc assert northern capital.
