the school-house

The building, it may be here stated, is chiefly of brick ;
of the Elizabethan style of architecture; of considerable
elevation, being three stories in height, with stone archi-
traved windows and cornicing—the whole presenting a
very neat and pleasing appearance. In the lower story is
the infant school, commodiously arranged for children of
tender years, and also comprises a domicile for the head
master. The second story is appropriated for the girls'
school, with a separate entrance arid stair case from Green--

laud-street, a very spacious and noble room for the pur-
pose, and remarkably well lighted and well ventilated.
The upper story comprises the boys' school, equally large
If a cl tss-room taken off at one end by a partition be in•

also well lighted and ventilated. The contractors were
Messrs. Rule and Anderson, of St. James's-street, and
the archi'ect, Mr. Arthur ill Holune, who liberally not

only gave his services gratuitously in

_ .
le work, which is finished throughout
in a very superior manner. The school is calculated to
accommodate in all 715 children.

On the occa,ion ui,der notice, the girls' school being
the largest appartment, was arranged as the tea-room.
The walls, the windows, and the iron pillars in the centre
were tastefully 'esto•tned and entwined with evergreens
and flowers, interspersrd with national a nd other

each presided at by a lady member of the congregation,
who provided abundant appropriate equipage, and all the
requisites for the blameless repast, including abundance
of bread and butter, bun-loaf, &c., and also, as a dessert,
dishes of oranges and g: apes. The whole scene was en-
livening, displaying the party in a labour of love and
charity, having for its object the worldly and eternal wel-
fare of the young ones in this neighbourhood. A fine
organ was provided for the occasion by Mr. John Rimmer
arid was presided at by Mr. Sudlow. Amongst the cler-
gymen present were Dr. TAtershall, the Rev Messrs.
N,lan, (incumbent of the church,) Barker, Lawrence, Fal-
loun, James, Marshall, Graham, Irwin, Cowan, Purdon,
Hampton, Higgins, t.uur, J. H. Stewart, F. Ould, D.
Stewart, and others. Amongst the laity were Messrs.
Mill, R. Harbord, E. Lawrence, J. Lawrence, Barnsley,
Wilkinson, Inman, &c., &c. The choir consisted of
Messrs. Linacre, and Mrs. Miles, Mr. J. Pemberton,
Mr. Foulkes, and Mr. Jonathan, who sung at intervals,
with much taste. anthems, hymns, &c., with choruses.
After tea, and a hymn being sung, the Rev. Mr. NOLAN,
who occupied the chair, addressed the assemblage in an
eloquent and affectionate manner, on the auspicious occa-
sion that had brought them together. He dwelt on the
difficulties which he and his fellow-labourers in the cause
had had to overcome, and impress-d upon them how fu-
tile their efforts would have been had their object not been
a generous and holy one, and especially favoured by the
blessing of Almighty God, to whom they could not be too
thankful. It was but seven months within a day since the
foundation stone of the building had been laid. They had
then .prayed for the Divine support; their prayers had
been heard, and the structure had been nearly completed
without a single accident to human life. They might to
be grateful too for the munificent generosity of the town,
eluding many of those deuon inated the merchant princes f
the town. For himself he felt thankful to God, for the ex-
ertions of the dear brethren around him, to whom a deep
and lasting gratitude should by him be ever entertained.
To the committee their thankfulness was also due, and
especially to the treasurer and secretary. It was pleasant
to look back upon the course they had pursued in this ob-
ject, and the difficulties they had to overcome; and he
trusted they would blend their thankfulness for the past,
with ;heir prayers for the future.

The Rev. Dr. TATTERSHALL next spoke at consider-
able length, and with much point and effec►. He hoped
the schools, the erection of which under God did them
and their worthy pastor so much credit, would be lasting
in their benefits for ages to come. They were not vet
Sunday schools, but would soon become Sunday as well
as day schools, and would thus become more extensively
beneficial in promoting scriptural education. There was
assuredly much crime in the town, but the amount of evil
which they had to lament would have been much greater
but for such redeeming establishments. They ought,
therefore, to give them every possible encouragement.
Some twenty years ago there were but three or four such
schools supported by individual congregations. Now,
happily, they had greatly increased. It was his earnest
desire that this undertaking, begun in prayer, should go
on and prosper in prayer, and he implored the Divine
blessing upon it.

The -Rev. J. H. Stewart, the Rev. John Jones, and
several other clergymen and members of the laity after-
wards addressed the meeting in feeling and appropriate
terms, and. after sacred song and praise, the large assem-
bbqe d:spersed hiJily gratified by the Christian cheer-
fulness and enjoyments of the evening.
On Friday evening, another similar tea-party, to cele-
brate the occasion, took place in the same place, for the
gratification of those who could not be accommodated,
or conveniently attend, on the previous night. This, too.
was as numerously attended as the first, and resulted in
a manner equally pleasing to all present. The principal
speakers were the Rev. Mr. Nolan, (incumbent of the
Church). and the Rev. Messrs. Rowson, Higgins, Con-
nor, and Davies. The amount received for tickets, on
the two evenings, was £4B.

There is no truth in the statement in the Railway
Journal, that Mr. John Moss is about to retire from the
chairmanship of the Grand Junction Railway Board.

canton of Lucerne. They bad been put to flight in every

THE REVENUE.—The return of the revenue for the
year and quarter ending the sth instant, has just been
published. There has occurred a falling-off in the Cus-
toms' revenue to the extent of £201,000 on the quarter,
hut the excise is still advancing, and has realized
£344.(100 more than the year ending April, 1844. The
charge on the consolidated fund account for interest on
the permanent debt will henceforth find its level, though
there is exhibited an excess of more than £2,000.000 for
this April. The total income is now £51,800,000, but it
must not be forgotten that we owe more than £5,000,000
of that amount to the property tax_

INQUESTS ON SATURDAY.—On view of the body of
a woman named Alary Anne Foulkes, aged about 24, who
on Thursday night was fund in Preston-street, apparently
much intoxicated. She was taken home to a house in
Johnson-street, where she lodged, and where she died
early next morning. Mr. Wood, surgeon, who made a
post rnortem examination, said that the deceased had died
from pressure on the brain arising from fracture of the
skull, cawed by external violence. He described the
injuries technically, and added that the fracture might
have been caused by a fall, or a blow. The house in which
the deceased lodged was a place resorted to by unfor'u-
nate females, of whom the deceased was one. The
coroner, finding that great violence had by some one been
used towards the deceased, adjourned the case until this
day.—On the body of Richard M'Dowell, ten years old.
The decease 3, while his sister was with him, and carrying
a child in her arms, fell into a pool of water in a delf
near Windsor, and before assistance could be rendered he
sunk. In an hour afterwards some men grappled the
body to the surface.—On the body of Richard Ford, aged
24. On Wednesday night deceased, while he had the
child of a neighbour in his arms, and being intoxicated
at the time, fell over the rails of a cellar in Titchfield-
street. He was picked up insensible and taken to the
Northern Hospital, where he died, on Friday morning,
from an injury to the spine. The child was unhurt.—On
view of the body of Ann Flannagan, aged 33. Deceased
lived with her father in Lewis Court, Queen-street. On
the 10th of March, deceased by some means which she
said she could not tell what, was severely scalded over
the face, neck, arms, and chest. She was taken to the
Northern Hospital, where she died on Friday.--On the
body of Elizabeth Boyle, aged 5i years, and living with
her parents in Thomas-street. On Thursday fortnight,
the deceased was found with her clothes on fire in a room
in which she had been left together with her brother and
sister. Before the flames could be extinguished she was
much burned over her back and left side. She was taken
to the Northern Hospital, where she died on Saturday.
The verdicts were in accordance with the evidence.
