GROTTO PASSAGE RAGGED SCHOOLS --SENDING
OUT EMIGRANTS.—On Saturday evening a Meeting f
the supporters of the above schools was held at the In-
stitution in Grotto
,Passage, High-street, Marylebone•
Tea was provided for the scholars and their friends,
who were present on the occasion, to take a farewell of
those of their number who are going out to Australia as
emigrants, at the expense of the committee. The
meeting was presided over by Arthur Mills, Esq. The
intended emigrants were addressed in a feeling manner
by the worthy chairman and other gentlemen, in reply tO
which one of the young men, on behalf of his companions,
returned thanks for the benefits they had already re-
ceived. The emigrants are young men about 21 years of
age, four in number, three of whom are married; they
were selected from the adult class of the school-as
worthy objects. They go by the Duchess of Northum-
berland as labourers to Port Philip, Australia, the corn.
mittee providing their outfit, and paying their passage.
Two more will sail for the same place by the Thetis, on
the 51h of next month. The report of the committee
for the p Ist, being the second year of the schools's exis-
tence, spoke in the highest terms of the general improve'
merit whicii has been made, there being an infant day
scho )1, a girl's evening school for reading, and religious
instruelion on Monday; and on Wednesday and Thurs-
day evenings for needlework and writing, as a reward
for good behaviour; an evening school for males vary-
inger from 9 to 30 years of age; and a Sunday school
children of both sexes. To encourage a taste for read-
ing, a library of useful and instructive works has been
added. In several instances the committee have pro'
vided the most deserving girls with situations, and fitted
out bays for sea. The income for the
