KENSINGTON CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

On Wednesday the annual dejeuni in aid of the funds for
clothing and-educating upwards of seventy children of the Ca-
tholic poor of Kensington, took place at the King's Arms, in
that metropolitan district. The dejeune was ordered for one
o'clock precisely, and was laid out in a beatiful and airy room
capable of containing nearly 200 persons, in a style which not
only did honour to the landlord, but from which other hosts
upon similar occasions might take pattern, every thing being
of the best quality, there being enough for every one, no su-
perfluity, no unnecessary loading of the tables ; but owing to
some unexpected delays, the Chairman, Mr. O'Connell, did
not arrive till nearly half-past two o'clock. Upon his entrance
in the room the whole company, amountiag to about 140 indi-
viduals of both sexes, including not only the most respectable
inhabitants of Kensington, hut many ladies and gentlemen
from different districts of the metropolis, received him with
their cordial cheers and waving of handkerchiefs, which must
have proved to bim how delighted those present were to have
him for their Chairman, and how much they trusted to his ad-
vocacy fer the success of the Institution.
After Mr. O'Connell bad taken the Chair, and apologized
to the ladies for the delay. he had occasioned by his absence
to the proceedings of the day, a breakfast, such as is rarely
to be seen, and wines, such as are rarely to be found, were
partaken of by all present ; after which, the health of the
King was cordially given by the Chairman; and most cordially
responded to. The health of the Queen, with the usual ho-
nours; the Duchess of Kent, the mother of the -Illustrious
Princess who one day will, in all probability reign over these
dominions, and who, as a wife and a mother, has shown a pattern
even to the matrons of England; with the most rapturous ap-
plause: and, lastly, " the Princess Victoria, as the Ileir Pre-
sumptive to the greatest empire that bad ever been founded,
and who, it was confidently trusted, would excel the greatest
of the Queens that ever bore sway' in these realms," with such
deafening cheers as could scarcely have failed to reacli the cars
of her Royal Highness. The toasts which followed were such
as coincided in every respect with the liberal and truly Catholic
spirit of the meeting—the ladies, who nearly two to one, had
assembled in the cause of charity—the Protestant ladies and
gentlemen then 'present who contributed to the Kensington
Catholic Schools—the Catholic Bishops and Clergy of the
metropolis, and many others, all of which were calculated not
only to create good feeling among all present as Christians,
however much they might differ in articles of faith, but also to
advance the interests of the Institution.

Mr. O'CONNELL made a powerful appeal on behalf of the
schools, and instanced as an encouragement to meritorious
exertions, that no less a sum than 43/. 14s. 53. had been re-
ceived by Mr. John Iliffernan during the last year from the
poor Irish labourers in the district ; but as we have neither
the time nor the rolm to give effect to the eloquence displayed
upon the occasion, we copy the following report, which was
presented to every one present, and which will make our
readers thoroughly acquainted with the nature and condition
of the schools :

" The Committee of the Kensington Catholic Schools, in
presentitig their first report to the patrons and supporters of
the Charity, congratulate them on the progress made during
the years this Clarity has been under the sole superintendence
of their most respected clergyman, the Rev. Dominique Le
Houx. They anxiously express their earnest hope, now that
the Charity is established upon a more permanent Loting,
and has been placed by their worthy Pastor under their
superintendence, with a view to bring it more fully before the
public, that they will receive increased assistance from every
person interested in the improvement of the labouring classes.
" The Committee, since their appointment, have been giv-
ing their attention to various alterations suggested fur the
better and more efficient carrying out the objects or the Cha-
rity ; but they have been prevented doing more than provid,
in;; a few extra books, and clothing the most necessitous, dur-
ing the past inclement season, from the situation of the
schools preventing an efficient superintendence. A legacy_
dm. has been received during the past year will, the Com-
mittee trust, enable them to overcome that difficulty ; as, by
the liberality of the Right Rev. Dr. Griffiths, and our worthy
incumbent, who, waiving his convenience for the good of the
rising generation, has consented that, on the payment of
200/., two school-rooms shall be provided undeineath the
chapel, in Holland-street, one about. twenty-four by twunty-
one feet six inches, and the other thirty-three by fifteen feet,
free of all rent, until the expiration of the lease, at the com
mericement of the next century. As that sum cannot possibly
cover the expense of completing efficiently the rooms for use,
the Rev. D. Le Houx, the Rev. W. Bugden, or any member
of the school or chapel Committee, will be happy to receive,
on any future day, subscriptions for aiding that purpose, as
distinct from the general subscription to the schools. The
Committee cannot conclude this report without adverting to
the very liberal encouragement the schools havo received from
the Irish and other labouring classes, through the hands of
their representative, Mr. Iliffernan, who has kindly given
much of his time in collecting their various contributions,
and has always taken an active part for the benefit of the
Charity.
" The average number of children educated during the
past year has Leen 70.
