THIS Institution for the Maintenance and Education of
Female Orphans, born within seven miles of Liverpool,
and for qualifying them for domestic service, was opened in
August, 1840. It now contains forty-five Orphans, and the
house, in Upper Stanhope-street, in which it commenced, is
already too small for its inmates, whilst several cases arc
waiting for admission, and the demands of three more years
will come upon it before vacancies can occur by any of the
present Children being ready to be placed out.
To avert, with as little delay as possible, the painful alter-
native of rejecting other applicants, it has been determined
that a new and commodious Institution shall he erected, for
which purpose a grant of land has been liberally made by the
Town Council of Liverpool, on the site of the old Botanic
Garden, fronting Myrtle-street.
A building of plain character is intended, and the Commit-
tees pledge themselves to economy in its construction ; but
the cost will, notwithstanding, be considerable, in conse-
quence of the extent of the accommodation necessary. It is
proposed to provide for, the reception of one hundred and
fifty Children. Towards the erection nearly £3OOO has been
raised. The further sum of £3OOO is required; and the
Committees make their respectful, but earnest appeal to
benevolent Christian hearts promptly to supply it.
The committees entreat, in particular, their friends, the
Clergy, to lead the way by appeals to their respective con-
if practicable, but, if prior claims prevent
as soon as convenient. Towards the

mo iance,
foundation of this truly Christian object, the committees
hope to record a sermon and collection in every church
within the circleof seven miles from the Liverpool Exchange,
to which distance its benefits extend.
A list of donations thus far is appended for which the com-
mittees are grateful. By comparing this list with the first
report of the Asylum published, it will be observed that many
of its original promoters have increased their contributions to
meet the present requisition. It is hoped that this example
will be extensively followed—that the charitable who have
not already come forward will heartily respond to this appeal
both as donors and annual subscribers, and that all will be
anxious to enrol themselves amongst the first founders and
zealous supporters of an institution, which is to relieve so in-
teresting and destitute a class of the community as that of
the " POOR FEMALE ORPHAN."
