TIIE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOL.

Yesterday the general half-yearly court of the gover-
nors of this institution took place at the London Tavern,
Bishopsgate street—Mr. George Moore, the treasurer,
in the chair. A report was read, which stated that the
receipts for the half-year, including the sum of 1,0781.,
collected by the "simultaneous subscription" in the
month of October last, amounted to 4,3421. 16s. In
consequence of the success of the simultaneous collection,
it was proposed that a similar movement should take
place on the last Wednesday in October every year, and
that the day should be called the "Orphans' Day." The
amount required to meet the remaining liabilities on the
new building had been raised, and the institution was
now altogether free from debt. The cost of the building,
with the works in connexion therewith, including gas
works, farm buildings, draining, making roads, fences,
water supply, play ground, and all fittings, internal and
external, was 22,2211. The architect's commission and
law charges amounted to a further sum of 1,2261., mak-
ing altogether, with 2,0C9/. for the site, an aggregate of
25,4471. After paying fur these various items, there
remained a balance in favour of the building fund of
about 6001., which would be sufficient tolmeet the cost
of a lodge and two cottages, now in course of erection,
for the accommodation of the gardener and labourers
who might be employed about the house and lands.
There were now in the establishment 99 bays and 46
girls; of these nine were about to leave, having attained
the age of 15. Sixteen children would be admitted to-
day, so that the numbers would then be 103 boys and
49 girls, making altogether 152 scholars. The report of
the surgeon gave a most favourable account of the sani-
tary condition of the children • and the prospects Of the
schools were such as to produce a feeling of general satis-
faction amongst their friends and supporters. The re-
port was adopted, and a resolution was passed to the
effect that the last Wednesday in October every year
should be set apart as the " Orphans' Day," for the, pur-
pose of raising a simultaneous collection amongst the
general body of commercial travellers. The election was
then proceeded with, and 10 boys and 6 girls having

WRECK OF TETE BRIO ST. LAWRENCE, WITH Loss
OF LIFE.—HARTLEPOOL, DEC. 27.---Last evening,
about 9 o'clock, the wind E N.E., with strong sea, a
light brig came on shore a little to the north of the
Heugh Lighthouse. Her perilous situation being soon
discovered, a number of the coastguard officers were
presently on the moor with the rocket apparatus fur
saving life, when several rockets were fired at intervales;
with lines attached. The first, it is stated, fell short of
the vessel, and the others, which fell across her, were
from some icause unavailable. As the tide rose, the
vessel fell over, her broadside to the sea. and Boon broke
in twain. The crew were clinging te the bowsprit, and
and their cries for help were most heartrending, the sea
making complete breaches over them. Owing to the
Yeseel being on the rocky, it was not prudent for the life-
r boats to venture near. lit about 2 a.ru.
a wave struck
the wreck. Another I ,m-I (try from the crew was heard,
and all was over—the
o
whole of them (supposed to be 9r
10 in number) perished. This
morning the beach is
strewed with fragments of the wreck, from which it
appears the vessel has been identified to be the St. Law-
rence, of Shields, and is now from Hull, where she had
discharged a care°. Reference to "Marwood's Regis-
ter" shows that the said vessel was built at Quebec in
1819, registered 277 tons•
and belonged to Mr. H. May-
ors, of South 81,,A31ds ;Wm. Smith, master. 28, 1 p.m.
—Six of the bodies have washed on shore. It is reported
that a fresh clew bad been shipped at Hull, and a mat.
ter despatched from Shields to join her at that port.
