music, playing, with descriptive banners. and con.'
ducted by their mistresses and governeities.. 'The
boys followed, under the guidance of their masters
and teachers. The girls bore in their.

tiful samples of their needle-work, which they ex-

happy results of thelounclation. The ishole•sper.

.and recited the follow.
iug ode very distinctly and impressively :
How sad our pilgrimage would be,
Thu' life's allotted rate of tears,
Were there so *eget Charity,
To guide our steps, and south our fears.
!the hastens with maternal smiles,
The woes of Orphans to assuage ;
And with n lilral love beguiles

Tho sorrows of dentrtrd age.
0' how your throbbing hearts would grieve,
Ye, that ou tear* parrots wait; •
Their grey and reverend heads to leave
• Unsheltered, to the storm, of Fate.
What tears uf bitterness would dew
If from your children ye were torn ;
And left thew to a world of woe
To wander triendivve sod forlorn.

Is us, mid is those wirouriters oW,
For whom 1 air toy double plea,
Your eb4ldrew awl pier sires behold,
Allied by ties of charity;
lf !rode yber owo ye,Ounkl remove
The sorrows we are doomed to stare,
Renew:ogee more your gifts of love,
Aunt save, 0: save us troy despair. •
The recitatiou was very loudly and generally
fr
cheered. '
When the procession had retired in the same
order it had entered, the illustrious CHAtitMAN
addressed the Meeting :—They had just beard the
argument cud appeal made to their benevolence in
