A. te3°lgst those present were, the Rev. Rector Campbell,
Aldermanli Molyneux, Mr. Councillor Woodruff, Rev.
enrY Marlen, the incumbent, Rev. John Woodhouse,
cerate, Rev. W. M. Falloon. Rev. David James, of
tirkdale Rev. Mr. Read, of St. Paul's, and the Rev.
Ir. Jones. of St. Augustine's, with several other clergy-
!nen, and the leading gentry of the neighbourhood. The
cholars were mustered and formed into procession, with
several elegant little flags and banners, and about
mea half-
: twelve o'clock the party proceeded to the site. Here
herlre crowd awaited the ; Mrs. Molyneux and a num-
•of other ladies being, sted on a gallery immediately
1 front of the place appointed for the ceremony. On
811.4i1 at the scene of the ceremony the proceedings
.Vtritnenced with singing and prayer. The Rev. Rector
etaPbell then presented to Mr. Edmund Molyneux a
I,7rY elegant silver trowel, and in doing so said,—Mr.
A, I am deputed by the committee to present you
pto this trowel, and to request you to be so good as to
leY, the foundation stone of All Saints' Church Schools.
...nave great pleasure in doing so, because I respect you
an individual who is always first and foremost in giving
;Ph Your money and your time to promote the education
*nth? working classes—in pleasing contrast to some who
elf give neither their money nor their time. And I ape-
Y religious" education, because, in my humble
Jad
talent, without any illiberal or sectarian feeling, edu-
4ton without religion is like what the poet speaks of.
ap en he says a little learning is a dangerous thing ; and I
tbecifY " working classes," because I think, as they are
eue most numerous, so they are the most important of the
de.torounity—that part upon whom we most materially
'Pend for our comfort and happiness ; and, therefore, it
1° •
of , thell, temporal and spiritual good that the best efforts
the legislature and of the wealthy should be directed.
tx when I speak thus of the working classes, and call
the most important part of the community, standing
ti
em • d° in the presence of some of them, I should wish
13
to understand that the obligations and responsibili-
-17 are reciprocal
w; that, as the Scripture says, as we are
al one body, so e should be of one spirit. The head
alltat not say to the feet, I have no need of you ; the feet
theft not say to the head, we have no need of you. As
the wealth of the capitalist cannot be productive without
skill and industry of the labourer, so the skill and in-
avitsltirY of the labourer would be of very little use to him
the out the wealth of the capitalist. It is, therefore, of
ht„ Utmost importance that the working classes should be
taiflight up in habits of industry and good order, for our
ap.r well as theirs; and they cannot be better brought
tdhen bY drawing their fountains of secular or religious
_ cation from that source by which we pay reverence to
tjolinistrations "of the Church of England. The rev.
..nor also eulogised the zeal, ability, and industry, of the
reelected incumbent of the church.—Mr. Molyneux, in
vrithY, expressed the pleasure he felt at being connected
h e so important and pleasing an event, and trusted that

Ales receive a sound scriptural education in the pripci-
