Will be laid by the Earl of Derby. We have had the
pleasure of seeing the trowel which will be presented to
the noble earl on this occasion. It was made and
designed at the establishment of our fellow townsman
opposite parker street. It will be sufficient to say it is
not only neat but elegant. On one side it has the
following inscription :—<, Preseated to the Eight non.
the Earl of Derby, E.G., on the occasion of his laying
the first stone of the Industrial Ragged Schools and
Church in Kirkdale, 18th August, 1860." On the

that the noble earl will be present, and his son, Lord
Stanley, with some of the most eminent of our citizens,
re need scarcely add that the whole proceedings will be
not only interesting but instructive.
