STAMPED sd.

with a pierced stone parapet, leads to the visitors'
gallery. The dining-room, at one end of which this
gallery is situated, is a really beentiful room, 701 t.
long by 30 wide, and is entered by folding doors
opposite the principal entrance. It has an open
tiuiber roof of high elevation, and at the end facing
the visitors' gallery is a large terraced window of
five lights, with two-light windows in the bays of
the sides. Inscribed in these are the names of the
trustees of the institution and others whose exertions
have brought the establishment to its present state
of efficiency and development. This hall commu-
nicates with the kitchen by a door and hatch.
The right wing is appropriated for the use of the
girls ; the left for the boys. In each case the ground
floor is occupied by school and class rooms and the
stories above by dormitories. The two-storey build-
ing between the centre and wings contains the
apartments of the secretary, matron, assistant-mas-
ter, and assistant matron, with waiting and other
rooms on the ground floor. The master's house is
situated on the extreme left, and, though communi-
cating with the boys' school, is a detached building
in every respect. The rooms of the other supervising
authorities being opposite a transverse corridor lead-
ing to the kitchens,, laundries, &c., the arrangement
of the plan affords every facility for the effectual
superintendence of the several departments by their
respective Iteacifi.:.,3l24l.tf.4l,l2ll„tiVings form. two
sides of the quadrangle Which constitutes the echliCe,
having the dining-hall and the girls' wing on the
other two sides, the space thus enclosed being occu-
pied by a large swimming bath with a glass roof.
The whole building is heated by steam pipes in con-
nection with the boiler of a pumping engine on the
basement floor.
Hot and cold baths on each floor for the use of
beenthe
respective dormitories and lavatories
arranged with every regard to cleanliness and con-
venience. The building stands in the centre of 20
acres of fertile land, part of which has been laid out
for playground, while covered playsheds have been
erected for both schools, to provide against exigen-
cies of weather. In fact, the whole structure, both '
in the style of its design and the excellent manner
in which it has been finished, seems as perfect as
such institutions ever can be made by thoughtful
experience.

After making the complete round of every part of
the building, his Royal Highness was at last con-
ducted to the great tent, where he was received with
an 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 theNationiatsl
Anthem. This was beautifully sung, and at
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 :—MyLords 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 financialthe
interests of the charity this ceremony
a
occupied
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.
