We haVe great pleasure 'in announcing to the
public tht liberal bounty of that distinguished
Nobleman the Right Honourable Lord AIMEN,
to a truly valuable Institution of -our, city,
the Free School in 'Coach-street, established
in the year 1808,'• for the gratuitous educa-
tion of the children of the Protestant poor,
stiperintended by a number of respect-
able Ladies and Gentlemen. This useful and
well conducted Institution received a most flat-
tering mark of his Lordship's favour in the year
,1812, by a donation of 201. followed by one in
the succeeding year of 101.—in addition to which-
We'have the pleasure to state a farther grant of
301. transmitted to the Treasurer within these
few da'ys. ILid this excellent Nobleman's bounty
een limitted 'to any one of• those donations, it
would have. been regarded with the ,most lively
gratitude by the conductors of the School, but
they now feel themselves utterly unable to express
adequately their sense of obligation for such re•
iterated favours, and most particularly .for that
earnest -anxiety for the welfare of this infant Se-
minary, which induced Lord :Wawa to bring it
tinder the truly flattering notice of het 'Royal
atihness the Prineesi-AUGUSTA, in whose pre-
sence his Lordship, we are authorised to state,
mentioned,the.Protestant School at Cork,
and'the manner it is cairitineted- by
.the
Ladies and Gentlemen who so laudably super-
intend it, her Royal aighness- was graciously
pleased to express a desire of becoming a contri-
ba4oe stn it. and his Lordship, convinced that such
a•gracious.mat K. or attenuon
excellent a person, could not fail to be most gra-
tifying to the G?vern-ors and Governesses of the
Charity,- ventured to tell - her Royal Highness,
Oa he was certain it would be considered by
them as a most distinguished honour, and he Ac-
cordingly received her Royal Highness's com-
mands to tranesmit the sum. of 251. for the use of
the Charity. Truly gratifying indeed must such
a mark of high and munificent favour prove to-
Vie conductors of the Charity, Who cannot but be
sengihle that in the approbation of the Princess
AUGUSTA. their Institution has received at once
the most flittering testimony to -its utility, and
the most enc..wraging prornise of its permanency
snd success. Her Royal Highness's character is
well known in every part of the United Kingdom,
but those who have the honour of being permitted
to approach her, have daily opportunities of wit-
nessing a uniform piety, kindness, and benevo-
lence, which gives a distinguished value to her
patronage wherever it is bestowed.
