BRITISH ORPHAN ASYLUM, CLAPHAM-RISC,
The half-yearly general meeting of this society
was held on Mondry at three o'clock ►t the London
Tavern, Mr. T. TILSoN in the chair, far the purpose of
electing 10 children to be educated at the school at
Cfapkam-
rise. l'he society was instituted in 1827 for the gratuitous
board, clothing, and education of destitute orphans of those
once iu prosperity, of all denominations, from every part of
the Britah empire. There were 39 miodidates for admis-
sion, all of whom could have been received if the funds
would have permitted, but Luster the present circumstances
the directors did not feel themselves justified in receiving
more then 10 additional inmates at this election- The
number of children at present in the asylum is 93, and the
building would contain a far larger number. The apnea
income of the society is 1,450/., of which 14501. is derived
from subscribers and 2001. from funded property.
The expenditure for the past year was upwards
of 2,4001., and the difference between the income sod
expenditure was toads up by donations, collections, Ate.
A.&r the children leave the school they are still looked
after, and prises are given to these who distinguish them-
selves for their subseepent good conduct. The Rey. Robert
M • presented prises to four of the children yesterday,
and he then shortly addressed the subscribers present at the
meeting, impressing upon them the necessity of soliciting
donations foul of inducinz their parish ministers to preach
charity sermons on In-half of the society. The result of
the poll hero% loeeu announced, and a vote of thanks to
the chairman and directors having been passed, the meeting
separated.
