into the institution ' • but there had been a great mistake
upon that point. He would be very happy to make it
right. There was no principle of exclusion in the ad mis-

used. The qualificatiOn

candidates for admission into those Asylum; (for ,
of both) were, that the children should be born in Liver
pool, or within a circle of seven miles,—that they should
be of the proper age,—that they should be the chil
married parents,—and that they should have lost b
both father and mother : these were the simple qt
tions for admission. The religious tenets of the d
parents were never made a question at all. But when
children were admitted into the asylum, one system of
teaching only was observed. They all were brought up in
the principles upon which their institution was based. He
then handed the trowel to his lordship, which, like that
used by the Mayor, is of silver. It is surmounted by the
bishop's crest ; and on the reverse side it bears a neat
engraving of the front elevation of the church to Myrtle-
street. It is inscribed as follows :
" Presented to the Right Rev. John Graham, D.D.,
Lord Bishop ,if Chester, upon his laying the foundation
stone of the Church of the Holy innocents, in Myrtle-
street, Liverpool, in connexion with the Female Orphan
Asylum, and the Asylum for Orphan Boys, at the request
of Harmood Banner, Esq.. by whom the said church is
about to be erected.-sth October, 1852."

The BISHOP then laid the stone with precisely the
same formalities as used by the Mayor, and in reply to
Mr. Banner's speech, said the new church would stand
midway between the asylums, the asylum for female
orphans being on one side, and the asylum for orphan
boys being on the other, the foundation stone of which
they had had the gratification of seeing laid lo) the Mayor
of Liverpool. He might be allowed to say that he felt it
a great honour and pleasure to be associated with him in
that good and benevolent undertaking. He felt it a
pleasure to be associated with him in it on personal
grounds. He shared in the respect so universally and
deservedly paid to. the Mayor by his fellow-townsmen.
But he also felt pleasure on public grounds, for lie hailed
his presence as a sign of the good will and friendship ex-
isting, which he trusted would continue to exist between
the corporation of the town of Liverpool and the bishop
and clergy of the diocese—a good feeling which had been
proved to exist by the present grant, which he trusted
would prove a blessing to the town. The erection of the
church had been undertaken by their kind and good
friend, Mr. Banner, who had also been mainly instru-
mental, by his zeal and generosity, to advance the in-
terests of the two asylums. He hoped that God would
bless their institutions, and the church which they had
commenced, and of which their kind friend had under-
taken the entire expense ; and that the church might long
continue there an enduring memorial of their friend's name.
His lordship also acknowledged the service the Rev. Mr.
i
North had rendered the nstitutioa by providing accom-
modation for the children in St. Catherine's Church
The church they were then erecting between the two as,
lums would be an example of what
when united, philanthropy and religion.

A DENTA L CURIOSITY.—There is at present a servant
in a family at the west-end of the town, a girl about 13
years of age, who is in possession of a double row of teeth
in the under jaw. The two sets of teeth are beautifully
regular, but are not easily noticed unless a hearty laugh
happens. The front and inner teeth have each their fel-
lows ; and the possessor, as may be supposed, has good
masticating powers, and feels n® inconvenience from her
;dditianal stock.--7Pero Courier.
