The Lawrence Military Asylum at Kuasowlee, to viola At
the lost seven years Sir H. lawrenos contributed soooolly Ole
thousand pounds, is built for 400 boys end SOS 011411. bi
January, 1856, it contained 862 children et WWI* oditlers—i
boarded, clothed, and careftilly °dusted,* a
Lure of 5001. These, as well u the 00 inamtlialithiill
school at Mount Aboo, founded by him *boa ONlot Ileorlio+
stoner of Ridpootana in 1856, are left to the Womble REIM
Lance of subscribers in India.
The Memorial Fund, which it is now wished to rain he tie
permanent endowment of these noble institutions, will be in-
vested in the names of some of those personal friends of the
founder who were originally joined with him la the 'worming
of the schools.

How earnestly Sir H. Lawrence desired to see these seiooil•
permanently endowed Is shown by the following eztroet toe
his will:—
"The Lawreire Asylum, the Aboo Lawrence Sehool, mod the
projected Octamund School, I specially recommend to the
fostering care of the East India Company's Government of
India, which I have conscientiously saved fur more than two
and thirty )ears."
It is understood that the Court of Directors will propose tO
charge the revenues of India with an annual contribution of
1,0001. The friends of the British soldier, and • greeetilll
country, will hardly do less.
It is proposed, in tne first instance, to miss twenty-toms iloos•
sand pounds, which sum at 5 per cent will make good
annual income lost to the Kussowlee and Aboo Asylums by the
untimely death of their founder.
