The ainiveraary of thin excellent charity, which
was founded in 1738, was celebrated yesterday at the school,
Haverstock-hill. Since last year considerable alterations
have been made iu the building, which now actually accom-
modates lGt) toys and al girls, and is capable of receiving
44.10 pupils whenever sufficient funds are subscribed for the
Illehlteuauce and education of that number. improvements
have been introduced into the arratigementa of the institu-
tion with a view to increase the comfort of the children in
every respect, and amongst the measures adopted to pro-
mote the heath of the inmates, as well as to secure their
attachment to the school, are • tepid swimming bath for the
boyA, and separate plots of ground placed under the care of
the iuilustrious and well-behaved scholars of either sex.
The children were yesterday publicly examined in the morn-
ing ill the presence of the governors and subscribers of the
iteditution,and in the evening before their f riends and relatives,
and aoluitted themselves on both occasions to the satisfac-
tion of the examiners, with whom they had had no previous
rehearsal, no less than to the satisfaction of their friends
and the supporters of the charity.
At the clone of the examination in the morning, Mr. J.
Mahn, the President of the association, who occupied the
chair, addressed a few words to the pupils, congratulating
them upon the readiness and accuracy of their replies, and
urging them while they paid attention to those studies by
which they would be enabled to obtain thereafter remu-
neration for their labours, not to neglect tho..e principles of
morality and religion, of honesty awl iutegrity, which went
inculcated by their masters and mistresses, and by which
alone they could ultimately succeed in life or obtain the
respect of others.
Mr. CHARLES TTLER proposed, and Mr. 1100EET KEN-
-111711 seconded, a vote of thanks to the chairman and the
examiners, Mr. Robert Wilkinson, of the Totteridge-park
