CLERGY ORPHAN CORPORATION.

The Anniversary Meeting of this Corporation,
for Clothing, Maintaining,' and Educating Poor
Orphan Children of Clergymen of the Established
Church of England, until of age to. he put • Ap-
prentice, was holden on the-24th instant, at the
nee Masons"favern, at which the Lord Bishrip.
of London presided. The Meeting was occupied
two hours in transacting the business of the day.
Fourteen Petitions of poor Orphan, were present-
ed, and taken into consideration,. when five were
elected as objects most deserving of relief.
eves much regretted that the benefits of the In-
stitution could not be extended to the other
Petitioners, but the number of children at pre-
sent in the schools being very large, the fonds of
the Corporation Would not admit of it. Still,
are happy to find, by the Treasurer's Report at
the above Meeting, that the Fonds of this excel-
lent institution are progressively increasing ; and
there esti be. no doubt that as its charitade de-
-signs are more generally knowo by the Public; it
will receive the patronage which it so eminently
met its. There arc at present eighty children in
the schools, exclusive of those elected et the above
meeting; but the Corporation has the means.of
providing accommodation, for a much larger num-
ber, could the funds admit of such addition. It is
proposed to have another Election of Chih'reit
into the Schools at the ensuing Qaarterly Meet-
ipgin May.-
