ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL

SCHOOLS.

According to returns just completed, we find thatiwe
have in Liverpool fifty national schools, conducted on
the national scheme of education, besides an unknown
number of secular schools, schools attached to chapels,
and private seminaries. In the national schools alone
there are 21,830 children, exclusive of 1,052, the esti-
mated number of children under instruction at three
sch

ools, whose teachers have not yet sent in their returns.
Last year there were in these establishments 22,522,
showing as increase during the present year of 360.
Estimating the whole population at half a million, we
have about one in every twenty-three pursuing their
education at the national establishments. This fact is
highly, suggestive. The facilities available for the young,
who chiefly belong to the lower orders, are numerous.
In the first place, they have abundance of books at very
low prices. They are taught reading, writing, arithme-
tic, English grammar, history, geography, drawing,
and the element of mathematics in some instances ;
in fact, they receive a plain English education, such
an education as our middle class men, and even many
of our merchants, have received. The teachers are
invariably well trained, and are required to hold certi-
ficates of merit, signed by the Government Inspectors.
The rate of charges, as all know, is extremely small—
a penny, twopence, and threepence per week. The
working classes certainly cannot say that education is
not brought to their doors ; it is their own fault if they
do not avail themselves of it. Having said this much
of schools in general, we may be permitted to direct
attention to those noble institutions of ours, the Blue-
coat Hospital and the Male and Female Orphan Asylums.
The Hospital was established as far back as 1708, for the
instruction of orphans and the fatherless reduced in circum-
stances. As is well known, they are fed, lodged, clothed,
and educated ; and in addition to the usual instruction,
the girls are taught sewing, knitting, and housekeeping.
There are at present in the institution 350 children-250
boys and 100 girls. The Orphan Asylums are for the
support of orphan boys and girls. The education re-
ceivsd here is very substantial, and the results are seen
in men who have raised themselves to high posi-
tions in the commercial world. Well may Liverpool be
proud of her Hospital and Orphan Asylums.
The anniversary and the usual annual procession take
place to-morrow. The teachers of the various schools,
with their pupils, will assemble at the Blue Coat Hos-
pital about nine o'clock. The boys will enter St. Peter's
churchyard, and the girls will be received into the Hos-
pital. The usual sermon will be preached in St. Peter's
Church by the Rev. W. Pollock, M.A., vicar of Bowden.
Then a procession will be formed, and the schools will
proceed through Church-alley, north side of Church-
street, north side of Lord-street, North John-street,
Dale-street, round Nelson's Monument; return on the

west side Castle-street, south side Lord-street, to the
Church. Prom thence they will be conducted .to their
respective schools, and dismissed.
The following are the returns of the number of chil-
dren at each of the schools :
