THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1836,

ST ANN'S SOCIETY SCHOOLS.

IjeThe, annlyerwy nf tl±e esttiblislinterit of tlib fit. Amt's So=
lety Nhools was celebrated at the London Tavern on Thurs-
day. There were present the Bishop of Exeter, Mr. Fresh-
field, M. P., Dr. Kenny, and other warm friends of the Insti-
stitution. The Hon. William J. Ashley, M. P., in the Chair.
The cloth having been removed, the benediction was sung
by the professional gentlemen present, Messrs. Fitzwilliam,
Jolly, Cdlins, and Master Walker.
" The King," " The Queen," " The Princess Victoria, and
the other branches of the Royal Family," were given by the
Chairman, and received with much approbation by the com-
pany. After the usual toasts had been drunk, the children
were introduced, and their appearance gave ample proof that
the bounty of the friends of the Society has been expended
beneficially in advancing the health and comfort of those under
its fostering care. We may here state the following facts,
tending to show that the St. Ann's Society Schoos pre-
eminently deserve the support of the public. The Society
was established in 1709, for the purpose of receiving within
its walls the children of parents who have seen better days.
The Society some years since was in distressed circumstan.
ces, but certain alterations were made in 1828 to improve
its constitution, and since that period the children received
within its walls have increased to 151, who are wholly main-
tained at the Brixton Asylum, and to 62 boys and girls, who
were clothed and educated in London, making a total in the
two establishments of 213. The old debts, amounting to
1,400 k, have been liquidated, the town schodt house rebuilt at
an expense of 1,4701., and the new asylum erected at Brixton,
the cost of which has been defrayed, except 600/." The Com-
mittee, however, regret to be compelled to state that such was
the number of applications to be received into the asylum, that
but a few of the applicants only could be admitted. Since
the establishment of the Society, 1,653 children had been re-
ceived within its walls, of whom about 90 boys arid 360 girls
have been placed out in service or apprenticed.
An ode was delivered by one of the boys educated in the
school, and at its conclusion the Bishop of Exeter exhorted the
children to adopt the sentiments expressed in it.
The CHAIRMAN then gave as a toast, " Prosperity to the
St. Ann's Society Schools," which had existed for nearly 130
years, and referred to the great benefits that had been conferred
by the Society. _ _

- The SECII;:TARY (Mr. Leeks) read the. Report of the Com-
mittee, which stated that 215 children were now in the schools,
and that preparations were making to extend the advantages
of this Institution by receiving within its walls a greater num-
ber of children. The Secretary reported that her Majesty
had sent 351. in aid of the funds of the Institution. A num-
ber of other donations were announced in the course of the
evening, amounting to upwards of 1,1001.
The health of " the Chairman"—" the Bishop of Exeter"
—" the Archbishop of Canterbury," and other toasts, were
drunk in the course of the evening.
The Chairman left the chair about ten o'clock, and was suc-
ceeded by Dr. Kenny, who, by his conduct as President, in-
duced many additional subscriptions in aid of the funds of the
Society.
