the building, his Royal Highness was at last con-
au almost uproarious enthusiasm, and it was some
minutes before the cheering died away and allowed
a choir of ladies and gentlemen, accompanied by the
Grenadier band, to proceed with the- National
Anthem. This was beautifully sung, and at its
conclusion Lord Russell advanced and read the fol-
lowing address :—" May it please your Royal High-
ness,—We, the President, Trustees, and Governors
of the Warehousemen and Clerks' Schools, with the
greatest respect acknowledge the condescension of
your Royal Highness in consenting to inaugurate
this building, the foundation: stone of which was
laid by your Royal Highness on the 11th of July,
1863. With feelings of thankfulness and reverence,
we invoke the continued blessing of Almighty God,
who has so prospered the efforts which have been
made by the supporters of the institution, and we
fervently pray that the building which is to-day
solemnly dedicated to the cause of charity may be
handed down from generation to generation as a
home for the orphans of warehousemen and clerks
engaged in the wholesale trades and manufactures
of the United Kingdom, and that within these walls
the children may receive those advantages of reli-
gious and secular education which will render them
useful members of society. The schools, which were
established in 1853, have been conducted until now
in three separate houses at New-cross, under many
difficulties. At present 102 children are enjoying
the advantages of the institution, but space has now
been provided for the accommodation of 200-140
boys and GO girls. Under the conviction that what is
worth doing is worth doing well, great care has been
taken to provide everything which an enlightened
benevolence could suggest for the health and com-
fort of the children ; and we are assembled this day
to celebrate the opening of a building which we
firmly believe to be second to no other of its class
in the country. The total cost, including the site,
consisting of 20 acres of land, and the fittings and
furniture, will amount to £28,000, of which sum
£21,000 has been already subscribed for this special
object, and it is hoped that the remaining £7,000
may be raised on this important occasion, and that
thus the building may be handed over to the trustees
finished and in all respects completely ready for im-
mediate occupation, free of debt. In conclusion,
we again tender to your Royal Highness our heart-
felt thanks for your presence at to-day's cere-
monial, which affords a fresh proof of the kindly
interest evinced by the members of the royal family
in all philanthropic endeavours to ameliorate the
social condition and advance the welfare of the
people of these realms."

- His Royal Highness then, in a clear, distinct voice,
every tone of which was audible throughout the
large tent, replied briefly as follows :-111y Lords and
Gentlemen,—lt is a sincere pleasure to me so see the
work which we commenced in July, 1863, brought to
a happy conclusion. Such a consummation, when
we reflect on the numerous classes of the great com- ,
mercial community of our country whose interests it
promotes, cannot but be gratifying to every one
present, and will induce us all gratefully to invoke
the Divine blessing on the ultimate success of this
undertaking. The attention that has been paid to
the details of the building, and to the comforts and
wellbeing of the children it is destined to shelter, I
may say, without presumption, merits this success.
And if, as you have stated, " that which is worth
doing at all is worth doing well," be a truth requir-
ing any corroboration, I have only to point to this
structure for the most unanswerable argument in its
support. It only remains for me to thank you, my
lords and gentlemen, for the kind expressions you
have used with reference to the part I have taken in
this day's proceedings. (Great cheering.)

Prayers were then offered up by the Bishop of
Winchester, and a hymn having been sung, the
ladies, who had been busy collecting for this occa-
sion during the last 12 months, came forward to
present their purses. Fortunately for the financial
interests of the charity this ceremony occupied a
considerable time, and the accumulated heap of offer-
ings grew as high in front of the Prince as the day
on which he laid the foundation stone. Altogether
upwards of 1,000 purses were presented, so that the
Prince had 1,000 gracious bows and smiles to make
as the several ladies came forward with their charit-
able offerings, and when the last retired there was
more than £5,000, in coin and subscriptions laid be-
fore his royal highness. Prayers were then again
offered up; and the Prince having declared the build-
ing to be open to receive, for all time, the orphans
and necessitous children of warehousemen and clerks
engaged in the wholesale trades and manufactures
of the United Kingdom, the proceedings closed amid
the most enthusiastic cheering.

- [ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway s Ointment and P ill s.—
The Anchor of Hope.—lf there be oue description of
human knowledge of the means of preserving or regaining
health, wanting whiM, existence is a mockery, death a
relief. Holloway's twin medicaments supply this great
desideratum. In all diseases they are beneficial, b3eauzio
they purify the blood, from which every portion of the
body tra6t inevitably be ienewed. The ointment, by brisk
friction, relaxes, penetrates, and then exerts its regulating
and wholseome influence on the skin and underlying
organs. In this way the stomach, lungs, liver, and kidneys
can be effectually reached and invigorated, especially if
Holloway's pills be simultaneously taken to aid in the
work of purification and regeneration.

" The appeals of the King's Government to the
efficiency of the Confederation and its members for
the protection of Prussia against arbitrary attack
from Austria having only resulted in armaments of
other Federal Governments, without explanation as
to their object, the King's Government could not

main
object of the Confederation—as already in the
highest degree endangered. The illegal motion of
Austria, and its no doubt pre-arranged adoption by
a portion of the Confederate States, has only con-
firmed and strengthened this view of the King's
Government.
" The King's Cabinet considers the breach of the
Confederation as complete by the declaration of
war—impossible according to Federal law against a
member of the Confederation—which has resulted
from the motion of Austria and the votes of those
Governthents which have associated themselves
therewith. In the name and by the order of his
Majesty the King, his most gracious master, the
envoy, therefore, hereby declares that Prussia con-
siders the hitherto existing Federal treaty as broken,
and therefore no longer binding, but will,. on the
contrary, regard it and treat it as extinct.
" His Majesty the King will not, however, look
upon the national basis on which the Confederation
has been founded as destroyed by the fact of that
extinction. Prussia, upon the contrary, adheres to
these foundations and to the unity of the German
nation as superior to transitory forms, and regards
it as an indispensable duty of the German States to
give this latter suitable expression. The King's
Government therefore, on its part, submits the out-
lines of a new union corresponding to the require-
ments of the time, and declares itself ready to con-
clude anew compact on the old foundations, modified
by such a reform, with those German Governments
which will join with it for that purpose. The envoy
fulfils the orders of his Government by declaring
his functions here at an end.
" The envoy has lastly, in the name and by order
of his Government, to reserve and maintain all its
rights of every kind arising out of the hitherto ex-
isting relations of the Confederation and otherwise
to the property and appurtenances of the Bund.
He is particularly directed to enter a protest against
any application or disposition of Federal moneys
already voted being made without the special con-
sent of his Government."
