THIS Asylum, according to the plan laid down in
Prospectus first issued, commenced its career in 1850, in
the House, No. 21, Hope-str • •t, taken by the Committee for
the purpose. It now emit • s thirty boys, without father or
mother, some of them 1 ring brothers in the Blue-coat Hos-
pital, some who have . -en candidates for admission there, but
for whom there - no room, and others ineligible to that
Institution, not • ing a legal settlement within the Parish of
Liverpool ; hen. • the necessity for an Asylum for Orphan Boys,
to embrace t • entire population of the town and surrounding
neighbour' .od.
Contin -d applications are making for admission into this
Asylu • and it will be painful to be obliged to reject any candi-
date; out the present means of accommodation are very
limited, and, if not promptly and liberally assisted, the door
must ere long be necessarily closed.
To avert this unhappy alternative, the Committee trust that
they may not appeal in vain for a vigorous effort of Christian
benevolence to help them in prosecuting and completing the
work so auspiciously begun.
The Corporation having made a grant of land, a building
similar in character to the Female Orphan Asylum is the object
which the Committee contemplate to provide for the reception
of 150 boys. The Female Orphan Asylum, including furniture,
cost six thousand pounds. About the same amount will be
required in the present instance, of which two thousand four
hundred pounds are subscribed.
The Clergy, by their kind help and influence, contributed
largely to the establishment and maintenance of the first
Asylum. They are respectfully and earnestly entreated to
appeal to their respective congregations, as soon as convenient,
in furtherance of this.

The following is a list of donations thus far, for which the
Committee feel grateful. Additional Donations, and also
Annual Subscriptions, are solicited ; and it is hoped that all
who live in the enjoyment of this world's goods, and they
especially who are blessed in the endearing society of their own
offspring, will sympathize with the parentless child, and spare
something towards this design, be it much or little, according
to their ability.
The bounty thus dispensed for the poor Orphan Boy will not
only be the means of procuring
.for him the needful require-
ments of shelter and food and raiment,
.but the means, also, of
imparting to his mind that spiritual instruction which will
teach him the value of a Christian life, and raise his hopes to
Heaven.
Donations and subscriptions will be thankfully received by
the freasurer, or any other member of the Committee.
