CHURCH OF ENGLAND SOUTH SCHOOL

Yesterday afternoon the girls connected with the above
school, in Cornwallis-street, presented their mistress,
Miss Hardcastle, with a handsome writing-desk, accom-
panied with the following address, being the second pre-
sent she bias received from them. The new situation to
which Miss Hardcastle is going, is the mistressship of
St. Augustine's School, where she will no doubt be re-
warded by her usual success in imparting instruction :-

" Liverpool, April 17, 1848.

" Dear Miss Hardcastle,
" We, the girls of the Church of England School, Cornwallis-
street, beg your acceptance of the accompanying desk, in testi-
mony of the esteem we feel for the unwearied attention you
have shown us while acting in the capacity of mistress; and we
would hope that you may be blessed in all your undertakings
through life, and that you may reap the fruit of the seed you
have endeavoured to sow in each of our hearts sevenfold into
your own bosom. We also wish you every happiness in the
situation to which you are going, and that your days may pass
happily and pleasantly on, that, when you are called away from
this earth, it may be the summoner to a brighter sphere, where
you may enjoy a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
" Church of England South School; Cornwallis-street."
