MULBERRY-STREET SCHOOL,
ABERCROMBIE-SQUARE.
Conducted by Mr. JAMES HICKIE (Author of a Key to
Hutton's Course of Mathematics) and Mr. HENRY JOHNS,
both well known in. Liverpool as successful Teachers.
This School has, since its opening, continued to increase in
numbers, as well as gain in character.
The system adopted at the outset, and since steadily adhered
to, was to impart a sound Scientific and Commercial Educa-
tion, not by seeking to accomplish great things, but by con-
scientiously endeavouring to do all that is really practicable,
well. That this object has been attained may be best inferred
from the subjoined notes, emanating from parents of Pupils
at present in the School : to these might be added (if conve-
nient in an advertisement) a long list of references to parents
wno have expressed their satisfaction at the progress which
their sons have made, and are making, in this establishment.

'Birkenhead, Cheshire, Nov. 14,1854.
Dear Sirs,—My son has been under your instruction for
nearly two years, and I feel it only due to you to say how
highly I appreciate the great improvement be has made in all
his studies. When I recal to mind his former sad backward-
ness, and compare it with his present condition, I am satisfied
that a system which has resulted in such a marked change
must be a good one : therefore accept my sincere thanks for
all your kindness and attention to my son.—And believe me,
dear Sirs, yours most truly,
CHARLES HAVES HIGGINS, M.D.,

1, Oxford-street, Nov. V, 1833.
Gentlemen,—My son being about to leave school shortly, I
deem the occasion a suitable one for acknowledging how
greatly I am pleased with his progress since he has been under
your care.
Your judicious system of instruction, and especially. your
attention to mental development, cannot but result in the
certain improvement of your pupils. Wishing you all the
encouragement your energy and merit deserve. I am, Gentle-
men, yours very faia fully, E. STATTER, Surgeon, &c.
To Messrs. Hickie and Johns.

18, Pembroke-place. Dec. 3, 1853.

Dear Sirs,—More than a year having elapsed since my son
became one of your pupils; I have now great pleasure in con-
gratulating you on the marked progress he has made in each
branch of his studies ; which taken as a test of your mode of
instruction, nothing, in my opinion, could be more successful.
—I am, dear Sirs, very faithfully yours, PETER CONOLAN.

VACANCY for TWO BOARDERS, at 50 Guineas per
Annum.
The SCHOOL is now RE-OPENED.

TiZFUNDbeing raised for the SUFFERERS
the WRECK of the TAYLEUR, is to be applied by
a Committee, composed of the Gentlemen whose Names are
at the foot, in the following manner, namely,—
Firstly,—ln paying the Survivors who wish to proceed to
Australia a small sum, for their support until the 28th
February, when they will be provided with a passage at the
expense of the Owners of the Tayleur; and should they be
detained after that day, they will be supported at the Owners'
expense until they sail.
Secondly,--In supplying those who go forward with an
Outfit, just sufficient 'to supply their wants until they reach
Australia.
Lustly,—The balance of the Fund will be divided among
the Widows and Orphans of those Husbands and Fathers
who were lost in the Tayleur while preceding their Families
to Australia, intending to send for them as soon as they had
earned money enough-to pay their passages out.
The number of Passengers saved is about 240, most of
whom are entirely destitute, and the Funds subscribed to the
present time will not suffice to give them the barest supply of
clothes. The Committee give these explanations in the hope
that 'they may induce many to subscribe who have heretofore
not done so.
