NEW LICENSED VICTUALLERS'
SCHOOL. '

(From the Morning Advertiser.)

Saturday having been fixed for the opening of the New
School-house, in Kennington-lane, the magnificent building
recently completed by the Licensed Victualler? Society.
The circumstance caused, and naturally enough, the most
lively excitement among those who intimately and con-
stantly take an interest in this admirable, extensive, and un-
rivalled Institution, as well as with those who contemplate
it as a remarkable proof of the immensity of good that may
be effected by united and persevering exertions. But a few
years ago the class of most useful and respectable trades-
men, now the Chartered Association of Licensed Victuallers,
commenced their labours, one part of which was, to secure
a home, education, and clothing for the orphans or other dis-
tressed children of their departed or necessitous brethren ;
and though their exertions were for a time, certainly only a
short time, limited, they soon were compelled to have a large
house and grounds for the school ; and now they have found
it necessary to raise an entirely new building, in order
to have the means of meeting the demands for the
purposes of such portion of their benevolent exertions. And
they have raised a magnificent building, under the auspices
of William IV., who, through Lord Melbourne, his Prime
Minister, laid its first stone, which stands unrivalled
among all the efforts of the combined labours of any one
class of tradesmen in such a cause—the School, how-
ever, be it borne in mind, being only part of the objects
of the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers.
The morning was uncommonly favourable for the occa-
sion—a clear sky, a bright sun, and subdued winds, gave
goodly token of a cheerful day, and as it proceeded the
expectation was not disappointed. The cheerfulness of
the weather imparted corresponding brightness to the
minds and countenances of all persons assembled on the
occasion, and more particularly to the children who were
about to proceed to take possession of their new school
and home. They were collected in the grand Assembly-
room of the Horns Tavern, fronting Kennington-common,
there being about one hundred boys and fifty girls. Their
appearance was delightful. It was impossible that chil-
dren could be cleaner, healthier, or happier ; nor could
any class be better, more nicely, or more respectably
dressed. Taken separately no one could imagine
that they belonged to a benevolent institution ; in-
deed, as we have often and often remarked, and
with no ordinary pride, this institution has also ever been
unrivalled in the lofty principle on which it has acted re-
garding the dress of the boys and girls who are the objects
of its fostering care and instruction. Here is se, n no badge
of degradation—no mark which is every hour to depress
the mind, by reminding them that they are dependent on
charity ; on the contrary, they are liberally as well as care-
fully treated, and taught the great lesson that the suc-
cesses of the most fortunate competitors in life's struggles
are trusts coissigned to noble, generous, and Christian
minds, to lend the helping hand and to extend paternal
care to those who, though perhaps equally deserving, may
not have been luck} enough—or rather their relatives and
friends—to draw prizes in the great and trying lottery of

life. Hence those who are sheltered and instruetcd berg
have their minds expanded and dignified by contemplating
the practice of true principles ; and have thus, by example,
the great moral lesson fixed in their breasts, as a monitor
that can never quit them, and which they must deem it
equally a point of honour and duty to obey—that they can
only truly show their gratitude for the succour extended,
and the ability given or cultivated, by using, in their turn,
the advantages of fortune, and the successes of life, to
aid and assist the less prosperous with whom they may
come in contact. And can higher principle and better
practical knowledge be taught? And arc they not among
the acquirements derivable from this truly noble School?
Besides numerous friends of the Institution, and of the
children, there were also assembled on the occasion the
Governor (Mr. Corby), the past Chairmen, the Trustees
and Committee, and past Trustees and Committee men,
&c. ; the Editor of the Morning Advertiser, the Secretary,
and other officers connected with this powerful and inde-
pendent journal ; Mr. Rose, the architect ; Mr. Webb,
the builder ; Mr. Clark, the honorary clerk of the works ;
and many other Gentlemen. From the tavern they pro-
ceeded iq, procession to the New School House, in Ken-
nington-lane ; they were followed by the girls and boys, at-
tended by their several mil tresses and masters ; the whole
proceeded two by two. The fine band of the Surrey
Yeomany Cavalry, with their master, Mr. Wallis (whose
exertions gave so much satisfaction during the late Fancy
Fair and Ball), led the way ; and by the animated and
appropriate music imparted, if possible, increased anima-
tion to the brilliant and moving scene. To witness the ce-
remonial, there were collected, in the line along which the
interesting procession had to move, immense numbers of per-
sons, and the windows of most of the houses were thronged.
The front of the building, and the railings of the fore-
court, were profusely decorated with colours and flags, li-
berally contributed by Mr. Staff. The procession entered
through the grand portico, and proceeded up the magnifi-
cent staircase. On entering the building the baud filed off
right and left, and immediately commenced playing the na-
tional anthem of " God save the King ;" in which air, from
the prompt feeling of loyalty and gratitude to their Patron,
and the country's truly patriotic King, almost every person
joined as he passed along.
The Governor, and all the parties previously described,
proceeded through the building, and entered the plain, but
large, substantial, and lofty Boys' School-room, or Hall it
ought rather to be termed. Many ladies were also there
assembled ; they were ranged round the room, and the
children were stationed at the desks ; the Governor, Trus-
tees, Committee, &c., &c., takingc, their position on the ele-
vated platform intended for the desk and station of the head
master. The room thus became immensely, but most in-
terestingly thronged; indeed, without much repetition of
words, it would be difficult to convey to the philanthropic
mind adequate notions of the impressive scene.
The children thin sung the beautiful anthem, " Lord of
all power and might !" in the same affecting and impressive
stet) as they had sung it a few months before, on nearly the
