ought to remark, however, that the receipts of the month
of June are swelled this year by the duties just paid upon
foreign grain under the new law. These, we believe, have
amounted to about £120,000. There is therefore an in-

RUMOURED REMOVAL OF THE SCHOOL FOR

THE BLIND AND THE CHURCH

Amongst the on-dits of the day, it is stated in well-
informed quarters, with a degree of confidence amounting
almost to certainty, that the Grand Junction Railway
Company have, for the intended extension of their works
at the Lime-street Station, conferred with the trustees of
the School for the Blind, in London-road and Holham.
street, and, by consent, purchased not only the school,
but the church and the enclosed land around it, they (the
company) having purchased the land in Hardman-street,
opposite St. Philip's Church, for a new site for a new
school and church, to be devoted to the same bene-
volent object. Although the present establishment,
which has been admirably conducted since its com.
mencement, has long been endeared to the benevolent
inhabitants of the town and neighbourhoot,, by many as-
sociations of its utility, through the interestitn, nnerations
conducted within its walls, and the number of well-trained
pupils whom it has annually turned out capable of earning
an honourable livelihood, and who would otherwise, with
sightless eyeballs, have wandered the world a burthen to
their friends and others,—there can, we think, be no
question but the present site of the institution has, from the
noisy encroachments in increased railway and other traffic
in the immediate locality become much less appropriate for
the business of tuition. The anticipated change is therefore
most desirable, especially as the intended site is not only a
quieter, but a much more airy part of the town. Another
consideration of no little importance is that, as theßailway
Company will, no doubt. with their accustomed liberality
iu similar cases, construct the new premises and Church

Tuesday, the 4th August, is fixed on as the day for the
public dinner, at Lynn, to Lord George Bentinck. The
Earl of Oxford has consented to preside, and it is expected
that the Duke of Richmond, Lord Eg!ington, Mr.

be present.

The metropolis, on Sunday afternoon, was visited by
terrific thunder-storm. The electric fluid struck the
Sailors' Home, in Well-street, and dislodged about four
yards of the brick-work, which fell upon an adjoining
house, and broke through the roof and two ceilings, but,
fortunately, without injuring any one.

passed off peaceably in Ireland. The Orangemen of the
north did not march, but celebrated the anniversary in
their lodge. At a meeting of the Grand Lodge of the
county Monaghan, on Tuesday, it was resolved there
should be no public demonstration on the approaching
12th July.
