DOCK RAILWAY OMNIBUSES,

THE PUBLIC is respectfully requested to TAKE
NOTICE, that the running of the above-named vehicles
be SUSPENDED after the 28th instant, until the approich
of the season when an increase in the number of passengers
may be expected. The Proprietors reluctantly adopt this
course, in consequence of the rate required by the Mersey
Docks and Harbour Board for the use of the rails being of
such an amount as to render the using of them at present nn-

profitable.

NATIONAL SCHOOLS FOR THE DISTRICT OF HOLY
TRINITY, TOXTETH-PARK.

URGENT APPEAL TO FINISH AN IMPORTANT WORK.
MHE COMMITTEE beg to. APPEAL to the ;Inha-
bitants of this town, who feel an interest in, and a- wish
to promote, the education otthe poor. The deplorable,condi-
tion ofithe district has been so often before the public that it
will be unnecessary to enter into that subject again. The
Committee, however, feel compelled to make known the diffi-
cult position in which it is placed. It was. expected by
the Committee, that if £l could be raised by local effort,
the Government would grant an equal sum for building the
Bch. ols. After weeks and months of great exertion this sum
was raised, and the Government Grant applied for, but it was
only £9so,.leaving a deficiency of £750. The Rev. Henry
Postance and Mr. Charles droves went to London with the
hope• of getting the grant augmented, but failed in their pur-
pose. They urged the poverty of the district, to which the
Secretary ~of Privy
,Council on Education replied, "•Yes, but
you 'cannot urge the poverty of Liverpool !" Unless the above-
named deficiency be raised \within a given time, the Govern-
ment. Grant will be forfeited, which would be fatal to the work,
Mid most disastrous to the district. If any should think that it
is.a large sum of money to spend on schools, it Must be remem-
bered that • the land in this 'crowded locality is very high in
price.
The,Committee send forth this appeal with a • prayer, and
hope_that ir will be responded to with promptitude andlibe-
rality.
Donations may be sent to Mr. F. Mill, 2, India-buildings,
Water*street ; to Mr. C. Groves, •4, 'Water,street ; and to the
Rev. H. Postance, 2, Chesterfield-street, Toxteth-park.
