LIVERPOOL GOVERNESSES' INSTITUTION.
THE Committee appointed for the purpose of pro-
meting the establishment of a Governesses' Institution,
(not intended to be restricted to Liverpool a!one, but accessible
to members from all parts of the country, and more especially
to the northern districts,) have now the pleasu: e to submit to
the Public the nature and objects of the proposed Institution ;
and, in doing so, the Committee feel assured that the great and
permanent good which it is ululated to produce renders
unnecessary any further appeal to their benevolence and sym-
pathy.

However desirable it would be that other ulterior advantages
should be derived from this Institution if it should obtain
adequate support, such as the establishment of a College for
the professional education of Governesses, and an Asylum or
Home for the aged and disabled, the Committee deem it pru-
dent, for the present, to restrict their views to im-
mediate
_ the more and pressing objects—which are
1. A RESIDENCE.
2. AN ANNUITY FUND.
3. A_BENEVOLENT FUND.

Much Furniture will be required for this uudertaking, and
the Committee therefore hope that those friends who cannot
aid with Money, will present the Institution with some articles
of Furniture, Carpets, Linen, &c., Books, Drawings, Maps,
Globes, Music, and Works of Art will be very acceptable; for,
to render the Governesses' Residence all that is desirable, it
should he an intellectual as well as a comfortable Home.
The following Rules have been made and published by the
Committee:—
