A society has been established in Manchester to
support a mission to the deaf and dumb. Ty excellent
asylum at Old Trafford, neer that city, has lung been a
flourl,hing institstion, and pupils are received from all the
surrounding town and even from other counties not having
an institatioa of their owe, bet their education once com-
pleted they have gone abroad into the world and been Com-
paretively lost sight of. The mission now established is there-
tore a mesas of reunion conceived in as charitable, and
almost as useful a spirit as that which established the en- 10

of all the sasses, it wu evidently a lecture fall of meaning
and 'attraction to those most concerned, and their attention
was riveted upon the canvas and the lecturer fur more than
an hour. The donations and subeeriptions of the first year
have been about 1021. ; but the committee calculate that a
sum of 1201. to 1801. will be required to meet all the en-
