Tho _araeverance, amidst the applause of those
Y 1S of the Perseverance were then au-

ned by thitit of the boys, dressed in white trousers, blue
flannel shirts, and glazed hats, who cheered lustily on
taking their places; and a feu de jbie having been fired,
and the band having played some l►vely airs, the children
again marched round the ground connected with the
institution, and the proceedings then terminated. After
the vessel had been named, the Ven. Archdeacon Brooks
stated that upwards of 1,200 children of the poorest of the
poor had been taken from the streets and received educa-
tion in that institution. In a seaport like Liverpool, a
vessel of this kind would prove most useful, as children
could be instructed in seamanship ; and merchants, in
getting apprentices, could set them with some knowledge
of nautical affairs. The Kirkdale Industrial Institution
was the first of the kind out of London. At Greenwich
they had a ship of the same kind, and it had proved to be
exceedingly beneficial.
CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Thursday week a girl,
aged eight years, residing with her parents in Sherwood-
street, died, and was buried in St. Martin's Cemetery.
It was understood by the neighbours that the child had
died of cholera; but on naming the matter to the father
and mother of the deceased, they were informed that
there was no truth in the report of the child's death, but
that she had gone over to Ireland. One of the neigh-
bours being satisfied that the child was dead, and bad
been buried in St. Martin's Cemetery, instituted an in-
quiry, and found that the child's death had been registered
as having been caused by cholera, and the party further
learnt that the surgeon who certified had never seen the
deceased during her illness. Information was then given
to the coroner, who ordered the body to be exhumed, and
at the inquest last week, the father of the deceased was
examined, when he admitted that he had told the neigh-
bours that his daughter was not dead, but gone from
home, and that he took this course, and ordered his wife
and children to do the same, to prevent any alarm to the
neighbours. It appeared also from his evidence that no
medical man ever saw the deceased during her illness,
and that the certificate was obtained upon representations
made by him. Mr. Woods, surgeon, was next examined,
and stated that. he had made a post mortem examination
of the body, and was of opinion that deceased had died of
cholera. A verdict was therefore returned accordingly.
INDUSTRIAL RAGGED SCHOOLS, SOHO-STREET.—On
Saturday the buys of this institution enjoyed a great. treat.
By the kindness of Mr. Atkins they were granted a free
admission to the Zoological Gardens, after viewing which
they proceeded to the grounds of the Brunswick Club,
Mount Vernon, which were l►berally thrown open by Mr.
Whiteman. The boys, to the number of 78, were dressed
in their new blouses, the gift. of Mr. Crellin, of Soho-
street. After regaling themselves with buns and milk,
the little fellows played at foot-hall, battledore, and run-
ning races. The latter afforded great amusement.
Through the kindness of Mr. Whiteman and his friends,
who were present, prizes for new caps were contended
for with much spirit. While viewing the orderly conduct
and happy faces of these otherwise destitute children, we
could not but rejoice in the fact, that althongh late in the
field, Liverpool now possesses more than one efficient
Industrial Ragged School. But for this school where
would these seventy-eight boys have been on Saturday ?
Perhaps some of them in jails, suffering the punishment
of crimes to which they had been tempted, and to which
they had fallen through the combined influence of igno-
rance and destitution—the remainder wandering about.
idle and ragged, perhaps hungry. Mark the contrast.
Who, among our readers, does not feel for a ragged
child ? Our streets, alas! swarm with them. Ah ! turn
not away from the contemplation of their piteous condi-
tion, but do your utmost to contribute towards their im-
provement. V►sit the Soho street school;—there you
will find for them a true asylum.
