CORRESPONDENCE.

OPENING OF ST. THOMAS'S DAY AND SUN-
DAY SCHOOLS. GRAFTON-STREET,
TOXTETH-PARK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

Stn.,—Some time ago I called your attention to the
commencement of the above Schools, but now a more
gratifying era presents itself, viz. : the Opening of the
same, which is expected to be early in February next,
when I hope, sincerely, there will be a magnificent display
of unanimous feeling towards the furtherance of so noble
an object, on the day of celebration ; when the members
of the congregation, and other friends, are expected to
join the respected incumbent, the Rev. Walter Butler,
A.M., at a Teaparty for the occasion, whose indefatigable
and unceasing exertions, in cenjunction with Mr. Charles
H unton, the Secretary of the School Committee, to whom
great praise is due, for his vigilant exertions in co-operat-
ing with his respected pastor, in his endeavours to accom-
plish the erection of so important an asylum, for the cul-
tivation of the little expansive minds, of so many neglected
and forlorn fellow creatures, whom we shall feel pleased
to see crowding to school, every Sabbath and wee k day,
instead of running on the broad road way to destructiofi,
as hundreds are now doing in Toxteth-park.
There will also be a Sale of Fancy Articles and Clothing
for the Poor in the district. _ _ _

It will also be gratifying to our Protestant friends to
hear of the novel School which was recently opened by
the Rev. W. Butler, A.M., denominated the ragged
school," as it consists of none but ragged boys brought in
from the street, at their own voluntary desire, to learn
God's word ; and I am proud to say I heard one of them
yesterday, without shoes er stockings, say his lesson to
me, spelling words of four or five letters, without a mis-
take ; and there were about forty more anxious to attend
every Sabbath, they also attend three nights in the week,
to learn to write, &c. I hope Sir, this circumstance
itself will meet with the support it so richly deserves by
all Scriptural Philanthropists.

I remain, Sir.

made by the ChaiJman, at the meeting, that proceedings had
been taken against us for the non-performance of our contract,
There is no such contract, nor have any proceedings been taken
against us ; and, if there should, we are quite ready to defend
